Arizona state House Rep. Mark Finchem stated that he’s suing members of the Arizona House and Senate for alleged defamation and malice in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

“So earlier in January, the Democrat members of the House and Senate sent a letter to the Department of Justice and the FBI accusing me of high treason, sedition, planning an insurrection, the overthrow of our government,” Finchem, a Republican, told The Epoch Times’ “Crossroads“ program on Feb. 27. ”All patently absurd, fallacious claims, but then they turned around and sent it to the media as though it was factual. Well, in that, they committed malice.”
