Trump-Backed Report Calls for FBI Investigation of Liz Cheney Over Jan. 6 Committee Role
Republicans accuse Cheney of witness tampering and perjury facilitation, while critics call the claims baseless and politically motivated.
- President-elect Donald Trump has called for an FBI investigation into former Representative Liz Cheney based on allegations in a GOP-led interim report on the January 6 committee's work.
- The report, led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, accuses Cheney of witness tampering and improper communication with Cassidy Hutchinson, a key witness during the January 6 hearings.
- Cheney has strongly denied the claims, calling the report defamatory and a deliberate attempt to obscure Trump's responsibility for the Capitol riot.
- Legal experts, including Trump ally Jonathan Turley, have questioned the validity of the allegations, suggesting Cheney's actions likely fall within her congressional duties.
- Cheney and her critics argue the report is a politically driven effort to discredit the January 6 committee's findings and shield Trump from accountability.
