Former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney has warned President Donald Trump’s incoming Department of Justice against pursuing an investigation into the January 6 committee. Cheney, who has faced mounting criticism for her role in the controversial committee, described the potential inquiry as “sanctionable conduct.”
Trump, during a recent Meet the Press interview, accused Cheney and her colleagues of erasing evidence to push a politically biased narrative. “They deleted and destroyed all evidence,” Trump said, emphasizing the need for accountability.
Cheney responded by denying the claims and doubling down on her criticism of Trump. She accused him of inciting the Capitol protests and attempting to overturn the 2020 election. However, whistleblower testimony and reports contradict her narrative, revealing that the committee suppressed evidence supporting Trump’s request for National Guard troops.
Additional findings pointed to deleted materials, fueling allegations of a cover-up. Critics argue that Cheney’s threats to the DOJ are an attempt to avoid scrutiny for what they view as a corrupt effort to attack Trump and conservatives.
Once a prominent Republican figure, Cheney’s anti-Trump campaign led to her defeat in Wyoming, where voters rejected her relentless attacks on the former president. She now finds herself politically isolated, with diminishing credibility among conservatives.
Trump’s supporters are demanding a full investigation into the committee’s actions. They believe Cheney’s warnings reflect a desperate effort to evade justice and shield herself from the consequences of her controversial role.
