Wrapping up their own investigation on the January 6, 2021 US Capitol attack, House Republicans have concluded GOP former Rep. Liz Cheney should be prosecuted for probing what happened when then-President Donald Trump sent his mob of supporters as Congress was certifying the 2020 election.
The findings issued Tuesday show the Republican Party working to reinforce Trump’s desire to punish his perceived enemies, including Cheney and members of the January 6 committee that the president-elect has said should be in jail.
“Liz Cheney could be in a lot of trouble based on the evidence obtained by the subcommittee, which states that ‘numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, and these violations should be investigated by the FBI.’ Thank you to Congressman Barry Loudermilk on a job well done. Newsmax, by Greg Kelly,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.
Trump suggested in a 3 a.m. ET social media post that Cheney could face legal consequences based on evidence gathered by the GOP subcommittee.
House Administration Committee Chairman Barry Loudermilk, a Republican from Georgia, wrote, “Until we hold accountable those responsible, and reform our institutions, we will not fully regain trust.”
