Former President Trump doubled down Sunday on his push for former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to be prosecuted over allegations she and the other Jan. 6 committee members purposely withheld testimony and details from their investigation into the former president’s actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
Trump, on Truth Social on Sunday, posted an article former Trump administration aide Kash Patel published in The Federalist last week in which Patel claimed Cheney and the House Jan. 6 committee “suppressed evidence” about the former president’s authorization of National Guard troops during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
“SHE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO OUR COUNTRY! SHE ILLEGALLY DESTROYED THE EVIDENCE. UNREAL!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social alongside a link to Patel’s piece.
Cheney shot back Sunday at Trump’s calls for her to be jailed, posting on X the platform formerly known as Twitter: “Hi Donald: you know these are lies. You have had all the grand jury & J6 transcripts for many months. You’re trying to halt your 1/6 trial because your VP, WH counsel, WH aides, campaign & DOJ officials etc. will testify against you. You’re afraid of the truth and you should be.”

Lying in all caps doesn’t make it true, Donald. You know you and your lawyers have long had the evidence. https://t.co/UpvCbAaChT
