Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said he thinks the upcoming impeachment trial of former President Trump may be a way to distract the public from why security was compromised on Jan. 6 and what Democrat leadership knew about it beforehand.

“Again, you know I’ve always believed the Russian hoax was a diversionary operation from the corruption that was occurring within the FBI, and potentially some of our intelligence agencies,” said Johnson During this week’s broadcast of “Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox News. “You have to kind of ask the question: What is this impeachment all about?”
