Rep. Barry Loudermilk

Rep. Barry Loudermilk has released a report targeting former Rep. Liz Cheney and the January 6 Select Committee, suggesting they engaged in witness tampering and accusing Cheney of colluding with Cassidy Hutchinson, a key witness. Loudermilk's interim report claims that the committee's conclusions overstate the evidence against Trump and criticize its handling of information. He argues that Cheney's actions were politically motivated and calls for criminal investigations against her, while deflecting blame from Trump for the Capitol riot. Democrats have condemned the report, viewing it as an attempt to rewrite the narrative surrounding January 6 and protect Trump. Loudermilk's report emphasizes systemic failures rather than placing singular blame on any individual, including Trump. The controversy continues to highlight divisions within the GOP regarding accountability for the events of January 6.
