Bennie Thompson Praises Liz Cheney's Integrity Over Party Loyalty
Rep. Bennie Thompson, the ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee, discusses the legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump and the allegations that they are politically motivated. He also talks about why he opened the Jan. 6 hearings by connecting that attack to America’s long history of racism and slavery and explains the flak he received for picking former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as the committee’s vice chair. Additionally, he provides updates on the Jackson water crisis and recovery efforts in Mississippi after a tornado hit five counties in his district.
