Lawmakers visit Jan. 6 defendants in D.C. jail, sparking controversy.
TL;DR
Lawmakers from both parties offered contrasting accounts of the conditions of pre-trial Jan. 6 defendants at the Washington, D.C. jail after a visit led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene claimed the defendants were being mistreated and called them "political prisoners," while Democrats who attended the visit said the defendants were being treated fairly and had access to medical care and entertainment. The visit comes amid concerns about the treatment of Jan. 6 defendants and a push to defund the "two-tiered justice system."
