Jan. 6 committee will dig in on the money behind the riot, Kinzinger says

https://news.yahoo.com/jan-6-committee-dig-money-164253865.html

The House committee investigating Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol will dig in on the financing behind the riot and present its findings in future public hearings or in its final report, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., said Sunday.

Asked on NBC News' "Meet the Press" to detail some of the "missing pieces" that would be revealed in September, the lawmaker told host Chuck Todd, “I think one of the more intriguing things is going to be some of the financing.

"The fact that a vast majority of this money was raised under ‘Stop the Steal,’ with no intention of doing anything to stop the so called stop the steal," Kinzinger said, in reference to fundraising related to a pro-Trump rally that immediately preceded the Capitol riot. “It was all about raising money and people were abused that way."

In its first round of public hearings this year, the committee highlighted examples of aggressive post-election funding efforts by Donald Trump's campaign as it sought to demonstrate that the former president's team used the race to fundraise large amounts of cash as his inner circle failed to gather proof to support his claims of widespread voter fraud.
