Fox News political pundit Brit Hume argued Tuesday that many in the GOP may appreciate any damage the House Jan. 6 committee is able to inflict on former President Trump. But they’d like him to go away. Publicly, most congressional Republicans have dismissed the hearings as partisan and amounting to a “witch hunt” against the former president, arguing that Democrats on the committee are attempting to distract from Biden’s low popularity and sky-high inflation. Earlier this week, Trump released as 12-page response to the committee’s various findings. Another hearing is scheduled for later this week.
