MSNBC's Steve Schmidt: Kevin McCarthy could 'handcuffed,' and ' locked in a basement' for defying Jan. 6 panel
Fox News
Lincoln Project co-founder and MSNBC contributor Steve Schmidt suggested on the network Friday that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., could be "locked in a basement" by the House Sergeant at Arms until he agrees to testify for the Democrats’ Jan. 6 committee.
McCarthy, of California, hasn’t yet been subpoenaed by the committee.
The minority leader refused a request from the committee this week to voluntarily testify about communications he had with former President Trump last year while rioters were breaching the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He said this week there was "nothing" he could provide to shed light on what happened that day.
