Perry's spokesman calls assertion by U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyoming, a soulless lie.
FILE - Violent insurrections loyal to President Donald Trump break through a police barrier at the Capitol in Washington. Over months, the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection has issued more than 100 subpoenas, done more than 1,000 interviews and probed more than 100,000 documents to get to the bottom of the attack that day in 2021 by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
That new development came out in a lengthy preview of coming attractions for the series of seven public hearings on the attacks and the political machinations by Trump and his loyalists that the committee asserts were their gunpowder and fuse. Perry was the only Congressman mentioned by name in Cheney’s lengthy opening statement.
Instead, in the hours before the president was set to replace Rosen with Clark, Trump backed down in the face of warnings that such an action would result in mass resignations throughout DOJ and even within his White House staff, other Congressional reports on the White House’s post-election activities have stated.
Perry says he’s refusing to participate in the Select Committee’s proceedings because he doesn’t believe it’s been established according to House Rules. Cheney, in her statement Thursday evening, stated that the Clark ascension plan would be aired out more extensively in the third of the committee’s seven public sessions, which is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, June 15 at 10 a.m.
