Liz Cheney Responds Sharply to Trump’s Criticism Over Biden Award

The former congresswoman rebuked President-elect Trump after he attacked her for receiving the Presidential Citizens Medal for her role on the January 6 Committee.

President Joe Biden awarded Liz Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal for her work on the January 6 Committee, which investigated the Capitol riot.
President-elect Donald Trump criticized Cheney, calling her 'totally corrupt' and accusing the committee of destroying evidence, claims that have been widely disputed.
Cheney responded to Trump, stating, 'Donald, this is not the Soviet Union,' and urged Americans to reject his 'malicious falsehoods.'
Cheney’s remarks highlighted Trump’s refusal to act during the Capitol attack and his repeated false claims about the 2020 election.
The exchange underscores ongoing tensions as Trump prepares to take office again later this month.
