Within the report launched Tuesday, the Home subcommittee chaired by GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk accused Cheney of colluding with prime witnesses, pushing for her to be investigated by the FBI for witness tampering.

“Based mostly on the proof obtained by this Subcommittee, quite a few federal legal guidelines had been seemingly damaged by Liz Cheney, the previous Vice Chair of the January 6 Choose Committee, and these violations needs to be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the report says, per CNN.

Citing the report, Trump warned on his social media platform Fact Social that “Liz Cheney might be in a whole lot of bother primarily based on the proof obtained by the subcommittee.” “Thanks to Congressman Barry Loudermilk on a job nicely accomplished,” he added.

“Proof uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at the very least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly speaking with Hutchinson with out Hutchinson’s legal professional’s information,” the report added.

As Loudermilk singles out Cheney, the report carries extra weight, contemplating Trump tapped Kash Patel to guide the FBI in his coming administration.

As an alternative of inserting the blame on Trump, who urged his supporters to march to the Capitol, the report accuses the Jan. 6 committee members and locations the blame for the assault on a “collection of intelligence, safety, and management failures at a number of ranges and quite a few entities.”
