Liz Cheney Faces Probe Recommendation for Witness Tampering

A House GOP subcommittee, led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, has recommended a federal investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney for alleged witness tampering related to her communications with Cassidy Hutchinson during the January 6 investigation. The report accuses Cheney of secretly communicating with Hutchinson, a former Trump aide and key witness, without her attorney's knowledge, potentially violating federal law 18 U.S.C. 1512. The subcommittee's findings suggest Cheney's actions were part of a broader effort to influence the narrative against former President Trump. The interim report also criticizes the now-disbanded January 6 Select Committee for alleged bias and mishandling of evidence. Cheney has dismissed the allegations as baseless and a diversion from Trump's accountability for the Capitol riot. The call for an investigation comes amid ongoing political contention over the accountability and findings of the January 6 investigations.
