Kinzinger says he expects Giuliani to cooperate with Jan. 6 committee

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said on Sunday that he expects Rudy Giuliani to cooperate with the House committee investigating Jan. 6 following a subpoena by the panel.

CBS’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked Kinzinger if Giuliani was being cooperative with the committee after The New York Times reported Saturday that the former attorney to former President Trump was in discussions with the committee about testifying.

“Our expectation is he is going to cooperate because that’s the law, that’s the requirement, same as if somebody subpoenaed to court,” Kinzinger said. “There may be some changes and dates and moments here as, you know, lawyers do their back and forth. But we fully expect that in accordance with the law. We’ll hear from Rudy.”

However, the Illinois Republican emphasized that the committee was already acquiring a lot of information regardless of any testimony from Giuliani.

“We want everybody to have the full story. That’s what’s important,” he said. “I have a new son. I want to make sure that in five and 10 years, when he’s learning about this and history class, he gets the full answer and not some conspiracy garbage that we hear out there every day.”

When asked by Brennan when public hearings will begin, Kinzinger said the committee expected them to start in the spring or summer.

According to sources who spoke with the Times, Giuliani, who was subpoenaed in January, was set to give a deposition before the committee on Tuesday, but was permitted to reschedule. He is reportedly considering invoking executive privilege or attorney-client privilege in order to shield some information from the committee.
