House Republicans say Liz Cheney should be investigated over Jan. 6 committee work
A Republican chairman said the FBI should investigate former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., over her involvement in the probe from the last Congress of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
WASHINGTON — A Republican chairman said Tuesday that the FBI should investigate former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., over her involvement in the probe from the last Congress of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
"Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation," said an interim report released by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., who chairs the House Administration's oversight subcommittee, which investigated the Jan. 6 select committee.
The report alleged Republicans found evidence showing Cheney "tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without her attorney's knowledge."
"This secret communication with a witness is improper," the report said.
In addition, the report said the FBI should investigate Cheney for allegedly violating a law that prohibits any person from procuring another person to commit perjury. which Republicans have accused Hutchinson of doing in her testimony to the committee.
