Mississippi Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chaired the Jan. 6 House Select Committee, responded to President-elect Donald Trump floating jail time for members of the former congressional committee, underlining he is 'not afraid of [Trump's] most recent threats.'
Thompson stated that Trump has undermined the rule of law and degraded democracy for years, emphasizing that the committee is not intimidated by Trump's threats. He reiterated that no amount of misinformation or intimidation can erase Trump's responsibility for the violence on January 6.
