GEIST: “Good morning. It’s good to have you with us. I want to talk about that Senate trial in just a moment but also want to pick up on a conversation we’re having in our last segment. You were one of the signatories of this letter that Mikie Sherrill, a congresswoman from New Jersey, was talking about yesterday that you saw suspicious groups on the eve of the attack of January 6th being given tours of the Capitol. Suspicious because tours have been shut down, large groups being led around the halls of Congress, perhaps the accusation goes performing some kind of reconnaissance on the Capitol. Did you see these suspicious groups?”
LIEU: “I personally did not see them, but we do know from various reports there was a lot of different suspicious activities happening. And no one is above the law, not the president, not the president’s attorney and certainly not any members of Congress. So if any members of Congress are suspected of violating the law, the FBI needs to investigate and there needs to be a far and wide-ranging investigation.”
GEIST: “Is it your understanding, congressman, that these were fellow members of Congress leading these tours?”
LIEU: “That is my understanding, or at least they got the groups the ability to go and have these tours occur.”
GEIST: “And do you know which congressmen or women it was?”
LIEU: “I do not. But again, we are calling for a far and wide-reaching investigation, which, by the way, also needs to include whether any of these members of Congress helped incite an insurrection, which itself is a federal crime and a felony. And again, we need law enforcement to investigate everyone, members of Congress should not be excluded.”
