- President Trump told NBC he “would think” the Justice Department could examine former FBI director Christopher Wray.
- The discussion followed a Blaze Media claim of 274 plainclothes FBI agents in Jan. 6 crowds, which Trump amplified despite NBC reporting no confirmed evidence.
- Joe Scarborough criticized Senate Republicans for not publicly objecting to what he called the politicizing of federal investigations.
- Scarborough invoked past efforts under William Barr and John Durham and House-led probes, arguing those inquiries backfired politically on Republicans.
