House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) took aim at the House weaponization subcommittee on Sunday, saying that he disagrees with Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) recent remarks about the New York grand jury investigation into former President Trump.
McCarthy accused Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Saturday of using the investigation to pursue “political vengeance,” saying that he would direct “relevant” committees to look into whether any federal funding is being used to “subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions.”
“I strongly disagree with that statement,” Jeffries said on MSNBC’s “Inside With Jen Psaki,” which aired its first episode Sunday. “And it’s not clear to me what committee the speaker may be referring to, perhaps the so-called weaponization committee, which is really more appropriately named, the Committee to Protect Insurrectionists.
