"Republican Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem revealed during a debate Thursday that he was interviewed as a witness by both the U.S. Department of Justice and the congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol," the Arizona Republicreported. "Finchem was in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 and took part in the Stop the Steal march to the Capitol, although he said he did not go into the building that was breached by rioters."

Finchem posted a video to Twitter showing him leaving the debate.
