Scott Applewhite)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN NEWSROOM<br \/>UPDATED 6:58 AM PT \u2013 Thursday, June 9, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump criticized the January 6 Committee as another partisan sham. <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/108447502985907558\">In a statement Thursday<\/a>, he said the Democrat-controlled panel is a \u201cunselect committee of political thugs.\u201d Trump stressed, the committee includes the same group of people who were pushing the false Russia collusion hoax and then denied the obvious evidence of fraud in the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n<p>The 45th President made his comments just ahead of the January 6 show trial. Trump also said <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/108447502985907558\">the Democrat committee knows he was asking for 20,000 National Guard or troops<\/a> to be deployed at the US Capitol ahead of the protest, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned down the offer.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) echoed the sentiments while suggesting Democrats are playing politics. During a press conference Thursday, the California lawmaker affirmed Republicans have repeatedly denounced the violence at the US Capitol and Democrats are ignoring the crises that are effecting the American people.<\/p>\n<p>The House minority leader was also joined by Congress members Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) who argue the panel is an attack on the GOP and President Trump. They asserted that Democrats refuse to take responsibility for the crises their policies have created and the committee\u2019s focus is not to keep the US Capitol safe.<\/p>\n<p>House Minority Whip Scalise said Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) doesn\u2019t want the truth to come out. He pointed out how she failed to increase security despite receiving intelligence reports.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Pelosi&#8217;s Primetime Hearing Lineup:<\/p>\n<p>\u274c Soaring Inflation<br \/>\u274c Record-High Gas Prices<br \/>\u274c Border Crisis<br \/>\u274c Supply Chain Nightmares<br \/>\u274c High Crime Rates<br \/>\u2705 Targeting Political Opponents<\/p>\n<p>Americans are struggling.<\/p>\n<p>But Dems would rather put on a political show than actually help them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveScalise\/status\/1534981869120397312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As House Republicans continue their own investigations into the committee, Rep.
