Former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney is attempting to intimidate President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice into avoiding an investigation of the January 6 committee. Cheney warned that such an inquiry would constitute “sanctionable conduct” following Trump’s accusations of evidence destruction.
Speaking on Meet the Press, Trump alleged that Cheney and her committee colleagues erased key evidence to craft a politically biased narrative. “They deleted and destroyed all evidence,” Trump said, describing their actions as a blatant attack on conservatives and the rule of law.
Cheney fired back, claiming Trump had incited the Capitol protests and committed what she called the “worst breach of our Constitution.” She denied allegations of tampering with evidence, despite whistleblower testimony and reports showing the committee suppressed critical information.
Earlier this year, whistleblowers revealed that testimony confirming Trump’s request for National Guard troops before the Capitol protests was omitted from the committee’s findings. Additional reports documented the deletion of evidence, raising concerns about the committee’s integrity and motivations.
Cheney’s political career has collapsed under the weight of her anti-Trump crusade. Once a prominent Republican, she was removed from Congress after voters rejected her relentless attacks on conservatives and her alignment with left-wing causes.
Trump’s supporters are calling for the DOJ to investigate Cheney and the committee’s actions. They see her threats as an attempt to evade accountability for what they view as a corrupt and partisan misuse of power.
