Rep. Ken Buck testified in the Colorado case against former President Donald Trump on Thursday, which is seeking to disqualify Trump from the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment.
“I came back to my office rather than the secure committee room, and I saw on TV what was going on, and I thought, ‘Oh my goodness, there are a lot of people out there,’” the congressman said. Attorneys for Trump’s campaign used Buck’s testimony in an attempt to criticize the House Select Committee on Jan. 6, whose report is a key piece of evidence used by the plaintiffs. Only two Republicans, former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, were on the select committee after then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy disallowed GOP members to serve.
The Colorado congressman agreed with Trump attorney Scott Gessler's sentiments that the report was"incomplete" with"one perspective," saying that it was just an excuse to bolster Democratic efforts to impeach the former president.
