Opinion: Kevin McCarthy's coverup for Trump may be hiding knowledge of possible crimes
What is Kevin McCarthy hiding?
Link to tweet
Let’s be clear: In refusing to testify to the House select committee examining Jan. 6, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy may well be helping to cover up potential crimes committed by Donald Trump.......
“There’s no doubt that McCarthy is a material witness to a possible crime by the former president,” New York University School of Law professor Ryan Goodman told me. “His conversation with Trump during the height of the riot could provide direct evidence of Trump’s mind-set and scheme.”.....
“Trump’s greatest legal exposure is for the criminal obstruction of congressional proceedings, and McCarthy appears to have direct evidence that goes to the heart of what’s needed to prove that crime,” Goodman told me.
“Did Trump say anything that connected his unwillingness to call off the mob to his wanting Republican members of Congress to delay the certification?” Goodman said. “What’s already been reported about the two men’s conversation already comes very close to that being the implied message.”
