Buck was called to testify in support of former President Trump in the trial that is attempting to keep him off the presidential ballot in Colorado.DENVER — One day after announcing that he is leaving Congress, in part because of election denialism, Republican Congressman Ken Buck testified in defense of an election denier.
Buck was called by Trump’s team to discredit the January 6 committee report that is being used to try to prove Trump’s involvement in an insurrection. “What’s your view on it from a political standpoint in Congress?” asked Trump attorney Scott Gessler. “I actually called Kevin McCarthy because of my background as a prosecutor, and I asked Kevin if I could get his permission to seek to serve on that committee because I thought it was important that witnesses were cross-examined, and documents were challenged. And Kevin told me that he did not want me serving on that committee, and that he did not want anybody else, any other Republican, serving on that committee,” Buck said.
