Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-In poor health.) as soon as once more struck a defiant tone over the likelihood that Donald Trump could search to have him prosecuted over his work on the now-defunct Home committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, revolt ― and whose findings accused Trump of plotting to reverse his 2020 election loss.
The president-elect has in current days centered his ire on Kinzinger’s committee colleague Liz Cheney, the Republican former Wyoming congresswoman, and claimed she “could possibly be in a whole lot of bother” after a Home GOP probe alleged she broke federal legal guidelines through the probe. Cheney has dismissed the claims as “malicious and cowardly.”
Requested on CNN if he anticipated to “face related makes an attempt at prison prosecution,” Kinzinger replied: “I don’t know. I imply, look. I’m not fearful about it as a result of clearly I didn’t do something flawed, Liz didn’t do something flawed.”
The yearslong critic of the returning POTUS added, “Constitutionally, there’s even a query even when one thing flawed was achieved, can the chief really come after a legislator? However no, I’m not fearful.”

Kinzinger then launched right into a fierce criticism of Trump, calling him “probably the most scared man.”
Trump is “mad as a result of he was embarrassed,” the previous lawmaker mentioned.
And the GOP is at the moment solely unified by “victimhood,” he added.
Trump “at all times must be a sufferer,” mentioned Kinzinger, including that America is “nonetheless a rustic that’s a rule of regulation” and that the “final individual on the planet that scares me is Donald Trump.”
Earlier this month, Kinzinger responded to Trump’s feedback about jailing the committee members with: “Carry it on.” He added that the committee “was pushed by details, the Structure, and the pursuit of accountability—ideas that appear international to Trump.”
