- Adam Kinzinger says Trump will tap a sycophant as attorney general if he wins a second term.
- Kinzinger said on The Bulwark podcast that Trump wants someone who will do his bidding at the DOJ.
- "I've heard a lot of people that just kinda scoff when I say, 'Take him seriously,'" Kinzinger said.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger last week said that former President Donald Trump will "interview 100 candidates" for attorney general and nominate the most subservient candidate to take on the role in a potential second term.
Kinzinger, a Republican who served in the House from 2011 to 2023 and recently released a new book, "Renegade," spoke on an episode of The Bulwark podcast, where he told listeners to take Trump's bid for a second term seriously.
