Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who investigates the events of Jan.6, suggested Sunday that fellow Republicans House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan may be subpoenaed for testimony. Kinzinger also expressed the opinion that a subpoena for former President Donald Trump was unlikely. Kinzinger, who is a member of the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol attack, said during an appearance on ABC’s This Week Sunday morning that he supports subpoenas for Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. “I would support subpoenas to anybody that can shed light on Jan.6. If that’s the leader, that’s the leader [McCarthy]; if it’s anybody that talked to the president that can provide us that information. I wanna know what the president was doing every moment of that day,” Kinzinger responded when asked if he would support subpoenaing the two Republican Congressmen.
