In March, lawmakers on the committee said they were considering inviting her for a witness interview abouton the day of the attack. But she still has not spoken to the panel.
During Thursday’s Jan. 6 hearing, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., revealed that then-President Donald Trump and attorney John Eastman knew it would be illegal for then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The court voted in January to allow the committee to get the documents.Associated Press writer Mark Sherman contributed to this report.Copyright AP - Associated Press
