Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R- Ill.), a member of the House Select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, said on Sunday that former Trump White House Counsel Pat Cipollone did not contradict ‘what anybody said’ during his testimony before the panel.
“At no point
was there any contradiction of what anybody said, but the rest I’ll have to leave
to the presentation for the committee,” Kinzinger told George Stephanopoulos,
anchor of ABC’s “This Week,” The Hill reports.
Cipollone
gave an eight hour testimony before the committee in a closed door session on
Friday after the panel subpoenaed him late last month.
The subpoena
came after explosive public testimony by former White House aide Cassidy
Hutchinson.
Hutchinson
told the panel that Cipollone warned her “we’re going to get charged with every
crime imaginable” if former President Donald Trump accompanied his supporters
to the U.S. Capitol during the January 6 violent siege on Congress and urged
then White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to take action on the day of the
unrest.
The Hill
reported that Kinzinger’s comments on Sunday were in line with multiple members
of the House panel, who said on other Sunday talk shows that Cipollone did not
contradict other witnesses.
“We’re not going to bring somebody in and just sit around and ask them about what other people said, too,” Kinzinger said on ABC, according to The Hill. “We’re getting their information, their front, their position.”
