'I think he will be charged, and I frankly think he should be,” Outgoing Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger told CNN’s Dana Bash about former President Donald Trump on “State of the Union.'
Outgoing Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger said Sunday he fears for the future of the country if former President Donald Trump isn’t charged with a crime related to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, though he believes the Justice Department will “do the right thing.” “If this is not a crime, I don’t know what is.
“He went to Mar-a-Lago a couple weeks after January 6 and resurrected Donald Trump. He is the reason Donald Trump is still a factor.” Kinzinger said that while he is “fearful in the short term” for American democracy, he is more hopeful in the long run. “I feel honored to be at this moment in history and to have done the right thing,” said the congressman, who has faced intraparty criticism for his stance on Trump.
