A group of Republican lawmakers were accused of "trespassing" on the property of a Washington, D.C. correctional facility Thursday, after they attempted to view the "conditions of the January 6th prisoners." "You right now are obstructing entrance into this facility," an officer informed GOP lawmakers in a video posted to Twitter. "The door's locked and we’re just here to ask questions and now they’ve locked the door and not given us access," Gaetz said. Fox News could not immediately reach the D.C. Department of Corrections for comment. The lawmakers have questioned whether the prisoners are being treated unfairly and accused the federal government of concealing their living conditions.
