Donald Trump was accused of witness tampering on Wednesday by a member of the Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.
CNN's Brianna Keilar asked Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) if Trump was tampering with witnesses by dangling pardons for Jan. 6 defendants.
"Absolutely," Aguilar replied.
"And I think the question is more from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, you know where -- where are they? Do they support this? When is enough enough?" he wondered.
During a Saturday rally in Texas, Trump suggested he might pardon Jan. 6 defendants if he wins the White House in 2024.
