President Biden will honor Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson with the Presidential Citizens Medal for their leadership in investigating the January 6th Capitol riot.
President Joe Biden is bestowing the Presidential Citizens Medal on Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson , leaders of the congressional investigation into the Capitol riot. Biden will award the medal to 20 people in a ceremony Thursday at the White House, including Americans who fought for marriage equality, a pioneer in treating wounded soldiers, and two of the president's longtime friends, former Sens. Ted Kaufman and Chris Dodd.
Cheney, a former Wyoming congresswoman, and Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, led the House committee that investigated the insurrection. The committee's final report asserted that Trump criminally engaged in a'multi-part conspiracy' to overturn the lawful results of the election he lost to Biden and failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol. Thompson wrote that Trump 'lit that fire.' Cheney, who lost her seat in the GOP primary in August, later said she would vote for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race and campaigned with the Democratic nominee, raising Trump's ire.
