'This is felonious behavior,' Texas Republican Rep. Louis Gohmert said in a statement condemning the alleged DOJ actions.

The controversial congressman promised that, should the GOP take back the House, things are going to be different than last time.

If the House Ethics Committee doesn't cancel the fines against GOP Rep. Andrew Clyde, he says it provides him standing for a federal lawsuit.

'Metal detectors outside of the House would not have stopped the violence we saw last week - it's just another political stunt,' Boebert said.

Only days into the new Congress and before a new president is even sworn in, Democrats are going after the opposition with a vengeance.

The lawsuit claims the Electoral Count Act of 1887 is unconstitutional because of the structure it implemented in certifying election results.

Gohmert and others sued Pence in an effort to force him to block votes for Biden from contested states during certification by Congress.
