Exclusive – Rep. Andy Biggs Demands Hearing over J6 Political Prisoners’ ‘Egregious’ MistreatmentWendell Husebø 4 Jan 2022
Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and 20 Republican representatives on Tuesday demanded a congressional hearing over the reported mistreatment of January 6 political prisoners being held by the D.C. Department of Corrections, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
In a letter addressed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Biggs insisted their committees must conduct hearings on the political prisoners’ alleged mistreatment amid reports of civil rights violations:
The defendants are being held in solitary confinement for extended periods of time and there are numerous credible reports that they are being denied access to legal counsel and face retaliation for meeting with legal counsel.
They are being denied medical care, including one defendant who was denied treatment for non-Hodgkin’s. This is a disgusting abuse of power and a clear violation of their civil rights.
The letter also says the treatment of the political prisoners has “been so egregious” that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the ACLU, and U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth have spoken against it.
“The allegations of mistreatment are extremely troubling and deserve Congress’ attention,” the letter concluded. “Your committees must immediately hold hearings to investigate the allegations.”
