A group of congressional Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer, are investigating jail conditions in Washington DC over allegations of “inhumane treatment” of defendants charged in connection with the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
Ms Greene, Mr Comer and congressman Clay Higgins signed a letter to Washington DC’s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser on 9 March demanding that a congressional delegation be allowed to visit jail facilities, which they said paint “a picture of despair, hopelessness, and a severe abuse of justice.”
