Trump Accuses Liz Cheney of 'Egregious Acts' on J6 Committee, Cites 2024 Election Support for Kamala Harris

Dec 22, 2024, 02:49 PM

Former President Donald Trump has accused Liz Cheney, a former GOP congresswoman, of committing 'egregious and unthinkable acts of crime' as a member of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, known as the J6 Unselect Committee. Trump made these allegations on his Truth Social account, also claiming that Cheney's support for his 2024 opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, contributed to his victory in the recent election. He labeled Cheney as 'so unpopular and disgusting, a real loser.' The accusations stem from an interim report by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, who chairs the House Administration’s subcommittee on Oversight, alleging that Cheney colluded with a witness and potentially engaged in criminal witness tampering. Trump has repeatedly stated that members of the committee should be imprisoned for their actions.
