Raskin: No problem with ‘citizen’ Biden pushing DOJ prosecutions of those who defy 1/6 panel subpoenas because…Trump
October 17, 2021 | Jon Dougherty
Rep. Jamie Raskin, a former House manager during then-President Donald Trump’s second impeachment and now a prominent member of the select Jan. 6 committee, is providing political cover for Joe Biden after the president said the Justice Department ought to prosecute people who refuse to respond to subpoenas from investigators probing the Capitol riot.
The Maryland Democrat has accused Trump in the past of trying to improperly pressure his Justice Department into doing his bidding, but he excused Biden’s remarks by claiming that Americans are uncertain what a good relationship looks like between the White House and the DoJ after four years of Trump.
“I hope that the committee goes after them and holds them accountable criminally,” Biden told reporters on Friday, in response to a question as to what he thought should happen after former top Trump adviser Steve Bannon defied a subpoena to show up and testify on Thursday before the panel.
