Kinzinger: We’re Looking Into Trump’s Potential Crimes

The Hill reports:

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Sunday said the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is looking into whether then-President Trump acted criminally in connection to the Capitol riots.

Asked by co-anchor Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” if the congressional panel is examining whether Trump violated a criminal statute with regard to Jan. 6, Kinzinger said “yes, we’re looking.”

He would not, however, say if he believes the former president committed a crime. “I’m not ready to go there yet. But I sure tell you I have a lot of questions about what the president was up to,” Kinzinger said.
