Greene says "no one can convince" her MAGA supporters attacked Capitol

“And we know there’s a lot wrong there, and I can’t wait for investigations, real investigations,” she added.

The congresswoman then went on to raise concerns about the treatment of individuals arrested and currently jailed for their alleged actions on January 6. More than 800 alleged rioters have been arrested in the Justice Department’s sweeping investigation into the attack, but the vast majority of them were released pending trial. About 40 deemed to be too dangerous to be released have remain jailed prior to their day in court, The Independent reported in June.
