众议员亚当·金辛格周日表示支持发出传票任何了解1月6日美国国会大厦遇袭事件以及前总统唐纳德·特朗普采取了什么行动的人，甚至包括他自己政党的成员，包括众议院少数党领袖凯文·麦卡锡。
金辛格告诉美国广播公司《本周》的联合主持人乔纳森·卡尔:“我支持传唤任何能够澄清此事的人，如果那是领导者，那就是领导者。”。“任何掌握部分信息和内部消息的人，都有可能会和委员会对话。”
“我预计会看到很多人收到大量传票，”金辛格补充道。
金辛格，R-Ill。他说，尽管一些国会议员试图无视1月6日的事件，因为这“在政治上不方便”，但委员会决心全面了解真相。
“如果有人害怕这次调查，我问你一个问题，你害怕什么?我的意思是，要么你害怕被发现，害怕承担一些罪责，要么，你知道吗?如果你-如果你认为这没什么大不了的，那么你应该允许这一切继续下去，”他说。

金辛格和众议员利兹·切尼是众议院议长南希·佩洛西任命的唯一两名共和党人，他们参加了众议院特别委员会，带头调查1月6日的叛乱。该委员会周二举行了第一次听证会，来自四名警官对袭击做出回应的人。
该委员会计划在8月休会期间在Zoom召开会议，计划下一步行动，包括发出“相当多”传票，主席本尼·汤普森，R-Miss。，周五说。他补充说，工作人员将于下周会见司法部官员，成员们要求会见司法部长梅里克·加兰。
“这不能继续是一场党派斗争，”金辛格在周二的听证会上说。“我是一个保守派，但为了从那天造成的伤害中痊愈，我们需要喊出事实。是时候停止助长这个国家暴力和分裂的暴行和阴谋了，最重要的是，我们需要拒绝那些煽动暴力和分裂的人。”

卡尔向金辛格施压，询问如果国会议员拒绝服从，委员会打算如何向他们发出传票。
“我打算，至少在委员会里，全面了解真相，”金辛格回应道。“如果有人认为他们可以站出来使用——策略来试图把调查串出来，并希望人们失去兴趣——至少我，我知道委员会的其他成员，决心让我们得到那个答案。”
“所以试图反抗可能会让你付出很多法律费用，但我们会找到答案的，”金辛格继续说道。
卡尔还问金辛格，委员会是否会传唤前总统。
“很明显，你会想和唐纳德·特朗普本人谈谈，对吗?”卡尔问。
“我们甚至可能不必和唐纳德·特朗普交谈就能获得信息，”金辛格回应道。"他周围有很多人。"

共和党众议院领导层在周二听证会前一个小时举行了一次新闻发布会，成员们试图将国会大厦遇袭归咎于佩洛西。
纽约州众议员埃利斯·斯特凡尼克(Elise Stefanik)说:“美国人民应该知道一个事实，即南希·佩洛西作为众议院议长，对1月6日发生的悲剧负有责任。
卡尔周日问了金辛格这件事。
“他们保护唐纳德·特朗普在这里免受指责，他们指责南希·佩洛西的支持者入侵国会大厦，包括她的办公室。你能给我解释一下他们在说什么吗?”卡尔问。
金辛格称斯特凡尼克的言论是“疯狂的”
“对我来说，这令人震惊，它基本上显示了试图破坏这一点的绝望，”金辛格说。
Kinzinger open to issuing subpoenas for members of Congress, including McCarthy
Rep. Adam Kinzinger said Sunday hesupports issuing subpoenasto anyone who has information about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and what action former President Donald Trump took -- even members of his own party, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
"I would support subpoenas to anybody that can shed light on that, if that's the leader that's the leader," Kinzinger told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "Anybody with parts of that information, with inside knowledge, can probably expect to be talking to the committee."
"I would expect to see a significant number of subpoenas for a lot of people," Kinzinger added.
Kinzinger, R-Ill., said that while some members of Congress attempt to brush off the events of Jan. 6 because it's "politically inconvenient," the committee is determined to get a full account of the truth.
"If anybody's scared of this investigation I ask you one question, what are you afraid of? I mean, either you're afraid of being discovered, of having some culpability in it or, you know what? If you -- if you think it wasn't a big deal, then you should allow this to go forward," he said.

Kinzinger and Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are the only two Republicans appointed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the House select committee spearheading the investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection. The panel held its first hearing Tuesday, with emotional witness testimony fromfour police officerswho responded to the attack.
The committee plans to meet on Zoom during the August recess to plan next steps, including issuing "quite a few" subpoenas, Chairman Bennie Thompson, R-Miss., said on Friday. He added that staffers will meet with Justice Department officials next week and members have requested a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland.
"This cannot continue to be a partisan fight," Kinzinger said during Tuesday's hearing. "I'm a conservative, but in order to heal from the damage caused that day, we need to call out the facts. It is time to stop the outrage and the conspiracies that fuel the violence and division in this country and -- most importantly -- we need to reject those that promote it."

Karl pressed Kinzinger on how the committee intends to enforce subpoenas on fellow members of Congress if they refuse to comply.
"I intend, at least, on the committee, to get to a full accounting of the truth," Kinzinger responded. "And if somebody thinks that they can stand up and use -- maneuvers to try to string this investigation out and hope that people lose interest -- at least me, and I know the other members of the committee, are determined that we are going to get to that answer."
"So it may cost you a lot in legal fees to try to resist, but we're going to get to that answer," Kinzinger continued.
Karl also asked Kinzinger whether the committee would subpoena the former president.
"It seems clear that you would want to talk to Donald Trump himself, am I right?" Karl asked.
"We may not even have to talk to Donald Trump to get the information," Kinzinger responded. "There were tons of people around him."

The Republican House Leadership held a press conference an hour ahead of the hearing on Tuesday where members tried to blame Pelosi for the attack on the Capitol.
"The American people deserve to know the truth that Nancy Pelosi bears responsibility as speaker of the House for the tragedy that occurred on January 6th," Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., said.
Karl asked Kinzinger about it Sunday.
"They protected Donald Trump from blame here and they're blaming Nancy Pelosi for the fact that Trump supporters invaded the Capitol, and -- including her office. Can you explain to me what they're talking about?" Karl asked.
Kinzinger called Stefanik's comments "insane."
"To me it's mind blowing and it basically shows the desperation to try to derail this," Kinzinger said.
