Kinzinger: Trump’s ‘evolving explanation’ on FBI search ‘just like Jan. 6′
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Monday characterized former President Trump’s shifting defense for taking classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate as an “evolving explanation” similar to the way he blamed a variety of groups for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and pinned the riot on everyone but his own supporters.
On CNN’s “The Situation Room,” host Wolf Blitzer asked Kinzinger to assess how much of a national security risk it was to keep such highly sensitive material outside a secure government space as a host of Republicans defend Trump and insist he did nothing wrong.
“The explanations from Donald Trump fearing stuff was planted to all the sudden saying he just like mentally declassified this stuff to saying, well, people take work home all the time, I mean, just like anything, just like Jan. 6, when it started as an antifa operation, then it was the FBI, and then it was really just a bunch of tourists, and then it was a bunch of people that were misunderstood,” Kinzinger told Blitzer.
“There is always an evolving explanation, but that evolving explanation is always a lie, and it points to the fact that Donald Trump knew what he was doing,” Kinzinger concluded. “So I don’t know the details of the raid. But it certainly seems like Donald Trump’s explanation is not accurate.”
