House Republicans concluded their investigation into the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack, placing blame on former Rep. Liz Cheney for her role on the investigating committee. The interim report, released Tuesday, alleges Cheney should face prosecution and highlights the Republican Party's efforts to protect Trump and punish his adversaries.
FILE - Vice Chair Liz Cheney , R-Wyo., listens as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol holds a hearing at the Capitol in Washington, June 28, 2022. WASHINGTON — Wrapping up their investigation on the Jan. 6 2021 Capitol attack, House Republicans have concluded it’s former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney who should be prosecuted for probing what happened when then-President Donald Trump sent his mob of supporters as Congress was certifying the 2020 election.
It revisits long-running Republican arguments that Trump is not to blame for the attack on the Capitol, which led the Department of Justice to prosecute some 1,500 people including the leaders of the militant Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, and indict Trump on four criminal charges, including conspiracy to overturn the election.
“Now, Chairman Loudermilk’s ‘Interim Report’ intentionally disregards the truth and the Select Committee’s tremendous weight of evidence, and instead fabricates lies and defamatory allegations in an attempt to cover up what Donald Trump did.” The GOP panel’s findings revisit the multiple security failings on Jan. 6, 2021, and revive the dispute over the lag in calling in the National Guard, which along with police reinforcements, restored order at the Capitol by nightfall. Congress returned to work that evening and worked into the next morning to certify the 2020 election for Biden.
