GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer of Kentucky are planning to visit Jan. 6 defendants being held in the Washington, D.C. jail.
A spokesperson for Comer has confirmed reports saying Greene is leading the effort, though concrete details are still being worked out.
Greene and Comer told The Hill a letter to start the process of the visit is expected to be released on Thursday.
"We’re going to be addressing the human rights abuse, such as the fact that they’ve been held in solitary confinement up to 23 hours a day, denied the ability to see their families," Green told the outlet.
Greene previously visited the defendants in November 2021. During an appearance on Steven Bannon’s "The War Room" on Real America’s Voice, the Republican lawmaker claimed the prisoners were being kept in conditions worse than Guantanamo Bay.
"Last night I finally got into the deplorable jail, the D.C. jail where these people are being held for months on end in conditions like I’ve never seen in my life," Green said. "It’s beyond anything I’ve ever seen and every American in this country should be outraged at what’s happening. I don’t care how you vote."
**SNIP**
The news comes after U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg denied a request from a Jan. 6 defendant to push back the start of her trial to allow time to review about 44,000 hours of Capitol riot footage from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Kinda like the 9-11 enemy combatants.
Good move...It’s two years. Ridiculous...
MTG was there last year.
The road to the treatment of the January 6th prisoners started on September 11th, 2001 and the framework set up afterwards by the Bush crowd.
Every single last one of these people need to be sued into oblivion, lose their jobs and pensions, plus serve hard time for a long time.
Yep, and the Stupid Party at the same time.
EVERY Repub Rep should be on this visitation trip.
How many Repub Senators have visited, or, even spoken out about these political prisoners???
The Federal system should be treated like a foreign government. In fact, they are. When they swoop into States and take jurisdiction, it is insane. The system is a precursor to the world court, without a doubt.
House Republicans Take Advantage of Moment to Score Ratings
Wow, already? /s
All of them need to go to that gulag.
+1
Meanwhile illegal aliens are being housed in the fanciest hotels. Disgusting.
bring Tucker Carlson with you.
No J6 clips on Tucker… McConnell and Schumer won. Fox couldn’t take the heat.
That’s NOT TRUE!!!
Tucker just showed clips of Capitol police calmly walking with Shaman man through the building, and even allowing him to say a prayer from some podium. He was NOT being violent, just a little weird. But now he’s serving a 4 year sentence.
Tucker had Shaman man’s former attorney on. He said he NEVER saw the clips TC showed tonight.
What TC revealed tonight was VERY powerful!!
He has been repeating the same clips he showed on Monday…waiting for the new ones. Monday’s clips are the videos which are out of the barn… so he’s squeezing as much juice as he can out of them. On Monday he said there was much more video that was going to be shown. I yet to see any new clips.
Sue the FIB out of existence.

Just zero out the whole DOJ budget.
If government parasites want to show up for work, let them, they just aren’t going to be receiving a paycheck.
It won’t happen because there isn’t enough support to cut government from either the politicians or the voters, plus the media would be “squealing like a stuck pig” if it was even being considered.
