A House Republican-led panel has called for a federal criminal investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for alleged witness tampering related to her work on the January 6th House select committee.
A House Republican-led panel called for a federal criminal investigation of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) for possible “criminal witness tampering ” with Rep. Liz Cheney should be investigated for her role in leading the Jan. 6 House select committee, her former GOP colleagues said in a Tuesday report.
Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge, the report from chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) says. This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause. Communications made public in October by the same committee revealed that Cheney and Hutchinson used the Signal app to swap messages to arrange calls over the same app, which is used by Washington journalists and politicians due to its end-to-end encryption, which inhibits interception by authorities. The content of the voice calls is unknown, but one message showed Hutchinson providing Cheney with a screenshot of her then-attorney Stefan Passantino suggesting she not cooperate with the panel that investigated Trump’s role in the mob attack by his supporters challenging the 2020 election results. Hutchinson had been in the midst of six transcribed interviews with the select committee and her communication with Cheney on June 6, 2022, preceded her dramatic public testimony 22 days later
