Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said he has “absolutely no worries” that President-elect Trump will try to put him in jail.
Trump joined “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker on Sunday for his first sit-down interview since winning the election. He indicated that he would not explicitly order his appointees to go after his political enemies but referenced jailing members who sat on the Jan. 6 select committee, which Kinzinger was part of.
Kinzinger appeared Sunday on CNN, where he was asked if he has concerns about his future under the Trump administration. “No, I have absolutely no worries about this,” he replied. “First off, the executive branch can’t go after the legislative branch because we embarrassed him. That’s not a sin, that’s not against the law.”
Kinzinger noted that most people who testified before the committee were Trump’s fellow Republicans. “So, look, he’s … all butt hurt right now because he was embarrassed. He’s not going to come after us, and I’m not worried about it at all,” Kinzinger said.
