Lawmakers' conflicting accounts of Jan. 6 defendant treatment during jail visit

TL;DR Summary
A congressional tour of the Jan. 6th defendants' wing of the Washington, D.C. jail ended with contradictory accounts of how the accused Capitol rioters are being treated behind bars. Republican House members claimed the Jan. 6 defendants are being deprived of due process, some medical care and services afforded to other jail inmates. But Democratic House members who joined the tour argued the Jan. 6 defendants are receiving uniquely favorable conditions — with access to entertainment equipment, freedom of movement and 24-hour medical care access.
