Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), who sits on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, on Wednesday said that former President Trump is “absolutely” tampering with witnesses by offering possible pardons to defendants.
CNN’s Brianna Keilar asked Aguilar on “New Day” if Trump was tampering with witnesses by offering to pardon defendants involved in the Jan. 6 riots.
“Absolutely,” the California Democrat replied. “And I think the question is more for my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, you know, where are they? Do they support this? When is enough, enough? When a mob is chanting ‘hang Mike Pence,’ it wasn’t enough. When the former president asked Brad Raffensperger to find him 11,000 votes, it wasn’t enough.”
“Now he’s, you know, dangling pardons, if he gets back in office, for individuals; will that be enough? Or will there be more collective amnesia? You know, I just don’t know where the floor is these days on that side of the aisle,” he added.
