House GOP Urges FBI to Investigate Liz Cheney for Alleged Witness Tampering of Cassidy Hutchinson

Dec 18, 2024, 03:00 PM

House Republicans have called for a criminal investigation into former Representative Liz Cheney for alleged witness tampering and evidence manipulation during the January 6 congressional inquiry. An interim 128-page report led by Representative Barry Loudermilk accuses Cheney of tampering with Cassidy Hutchinson, a key witness and former White House aide, including coaching her to alter her testimony, potentially violating federal laws. The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee is urging the FBI to investigate these allegations, citing possible manipulation of witness testimony and suppression of exculpatory evidence during the January 6 Committee hearings. Former President Donald Trump supported the call for an FBI investigation, stating that Cheney 'could be in a lot of trouble'.
