Cheney and Schiff Dismiss Trump's Jail Threats Against Jan. 6 Committee

In a recent interview, President-elect Donald Trump suggested that members of the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack, including Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff, should be jailed, accusing them of deleting evidence. Cheney and Schiff strongly refuted these claims, emphasizing the committee's adherence to facts and the Constitution. Cheney labeled Trump's comments as a continuation of his assault on the rule of law, while Schiff and former committee member Adam Kinzinger reiterated their commitment to defending democracy. Trump has denied wrongdoing related to January 6 and has promised to consider pardons for those prosecuted for their roles in the events.
