House Republicans Push for FBI Investigation into Liz Cheney's Jan. 6 Role

The GOP report accuses Cheney of witness tampering during the Jan. 6 investigation, but legal experts question the validity of the claims.

A Republican-led House subcommittee released a report recommending an FBI investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney for alleged witness tampering during the Jan. 6 committee's work.
The report claims Cheney influenced Cassidy Hutchinson, a key witness, to change legal representation and provide damaging testimony against Donald Trump.
Legal experts argue that constitutional protections, such as the speech or debate clause, make any investigation into Cheney unlikely to succeed.
Donald Trump has publicly supported the report's findings, continuing his pattern of targeting political adversaries, including Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, and others involved in the Jan. 6 investigation.
Cheney has dismissed the accusations as baseless and defamatory, asserting that they are an attempt to deflect from Trump's actions on Jan. 6.
