Its entire purpose is to destroy President Trump and his supporters, intimidate members of Congress, and distract Americans from real issues that are destroying this country. The committee operates with the same kind of bias present at the Salem Witch Trials. Everyone is guilty and must demonstrate their innocence. They are basing their witch-hunt on dubious media accounts.\n\n\u201cHow the media received this letter and had their stories written before it was shared with me is concerning and reveals foul play.\n\n\u201cRepublican leadership should remove Representatives Cheney and Kinzinger from representing the party in this committee. These two are trying to divide and burn the Republican Party. The American people and the party deserve better.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:29:07Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://biggs.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-biggs-rejects-house-jan-6-committee-panel-invite"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6742460429668427, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
