If compelled to testify, Thomas will likely be a hostile participant in the investigation. “We certainly hope that she will agree to come in voluntarily, but the committee is fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena if she does not. “So it’s very important for us to speak with her and as I said, I hope she will agree to do so voluntarily but I’m sure we will contemplate a subpoena if she won’t.”

“There were calls to say goodbye to family members,” the security official said. I hope she will come in voluntarily,” Cheney said of Ginni Thomas. “It’s very important for us to speak with her. And the agents who were protecting him certainly did a tremendous service that day,” Cheney said. “We will get to the bottom of it. “You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice.

"It's an example of what we in political science call tribalism, where the parties are moving as far out to their wings as they can get," he said. "That number is devastating” "One of the conclusions I drew is this race is really more about Cheney than it's about Trump," Coker agreed.

Through eight House hearings about the Jan. 6 insurrection, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., was calm, unflappable and plain-spoken. She did not grandstand or gloat ...

What the majority of Republicans struggled to understand, Cheney never lost sight of: The hearings aren’t about spanking a former president. “There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain,” she had warned her fellow Republicans in the first hearing, with her trademark bluntness. Back home in Wyoming, she has been trailing a Trump-backed candidate in her primary election and stands a fair shot of losing her seat. She would not hide herself behind her party. He, too, was as thorough and somber as the occasion required. The assignment was to create a thorough historical record. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., was no less accomplished in his role as chair of the House select committee on the Jan. 6 attack. It was a jaded look at the whole affair, but boy howdy, would Cheney have deserved that revenge. She did not apologize to her fellow Republicans for her leading role in the hearings. She would not remain silent. It couldn’t change the past but it might ensure that all Americans vaguely understood the same version of it. She did not try to use her position as a campaign ad for her next election.

Thomas was the only justice who supported Trump’s request for an injunction in the January 2022 ruling.

Thursday night’s hearing included testimony from two former White House staff members who resigned in the wake of the attack and focused on Trump’s damning inaction while the Capitol was under siege. “Once the outside, bipartisan commission was defeated, the only alternative left to us was this committee.” McCarthy also withdrew all of his nominations to the committee after Pelosi rejected two of them “with good reason,” she added. “It’s an entire focus of the investigation, you will see it in our report, you will likely see an upcoming hearing.” It’s other entities owned by Rupert Murdoch,” Cheney said. Despite Bret Baier’s attempts to push the Fox/Trump narrative that the Jan. 6 committee is biased and a sham, Cheney debunked talking point after talking point. Is there testimony already gathered on Speaker Pelosi’s decisions or the Sergeant at Arms of the House and Senate on that regard?” he asked.

After the GOP blackballed Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., for criticizing Trump, she's fighting to keep her House seat in Wyoming.

The main difference is their relationship with Trump. Cheney was one of 10 Republicans to vote for Trump’s impeachment over his alleged incitement of a riot, and she lost her spot as head of the House GOP conference after refusing to endorse the former president’s false claims of election fraud. Hageman is getting 40% of her donations from Cowboy State residents and PACs. Hageman also has more pull with small donors, who make up 43% of her donations, a signal of grassroots support. How do Wyoming voters feel about Cheney’s bad blood with Trump?: Many Wyoming voters aren’t happy with Cheney’s prominent role in rebuffing the former president. Hageman, on the other hand, has Trump's endorsement and is vocal in her support of him. Even some Democratic donors have given her money because of the stance she has taken against Trump. - 👱♂️ Why this matters: Cheney has broken from the rest of the Republican Party because of her criticism of Trump and his attempt to stay in office after losing reelection. Who is Liz Cheney? Cheney is Wyoming’s only representative in the House, due to its small population. - 🗳️ Election Day: The Republican primary in Wyoming is Aug. 16. She unsuccessfully ran for governor of Wyoming in 2018. Another voter called her “very effective” despite not liking all her policy positions. Here's what you need to know about the race: The race is a test of how strong the former president’s hold is in one of the most conservative states in the country.

A new Casper Star-Tribune poll shows Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican leader on the Jan. 6 committee, far behind her challenger, Harriet Hageman, in the House ...

This brutal poll is a "tribute to Cheney's courage in standing up against Donald Trump in a state where the election-denying prevaricator won 70 percent of the vote in 2020," says E.J. Dionne Jr. in The Washington Post. Cheney's last hope is for "every Democrat" and independent in Wyoming to cross over and vote for her in the Aug. 16 Republican primary, "which they can do under state law." Cheney's campaign ads don't even mention Trump, says John Nichols in The Nation. They "talk about her fierce opposition to gun control, abortion rights, and 'Green New Deal regulations [that] threaten to hamstring our producers and stifle economic growth in our communities.'" But Trump is sure campaigning against her through Hageman, who is "mounting an overtly pro-Trump and anti-Cheney campaign." Trump's diehard supporters "passionately believe the election was stolen" — even though there is zero evidence it was — because they have chosen to believe the lie. Cheney, daughter of former vice president and Wyoming congressman Dick Cheney, was born in Wisconsin and grew up in Washington, D.C. Her detractors accuse her of returning to her family's home state "only to win political office." The MAGA crowd isn't mad at Liz Cheney because they think she's a carpetbagger, says Jonah Goldberg at The Dispatch. She's "a villain because she's telling the truth." Cheney kept pushing as a leader of the House select committee investigating the attack, and Trump's role in encouraging the rioters by urging them to pressure Congress not to certify his 2020 election loss to President Biden. Trump has endorsed Hageman, a natural resources lawyer, and called Cheney "despicable." Cheney has outspent her primary opponents with ads touting her unwavering conservative record — she voted with Trump 92.9 percent of the time. No wait, it was Hugo Chavez! Okay, Chavez didn't do it — it was the Chinese! Okay, I was wrong about the Chinese, it was Dominion! No, it was Mark Zuckerberg. The Deep State! Soros! Fauci! Col. Sanders..." When that's the reasoning you're up against, being on the side of truth puts you on the losing team. Cheney fell out of favor with Wyoming's Republican establishment, which censured her after she voted in favor of then-President Donald Trump's impeachment over the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack by a mob of his supporters. Standing with democracy's defenders, even if you disagree with them on many other issues, should take priority." Falling out of sync with Wyoming Republicans on Trump only reinforced criticism of her as an "opportunistic outsider," and "reminded some Wyomingites of everything they didn't like about" her in the first place. Hageman had the backing of 52 percent of participants, to Cheney's 30 percent. It was taken from July 7 to July 11, just after the start of early voting.

Liz Cheney rose to Republican leadership through her conservative credentials, but her stance on a single issue has her in a tough primary.

After a series of blockbuster summer hearings, the bipartisan Congressional panel has a busy August ahead as it prepares for more public proceedings this ...

“I certainly hope they’re moving forward,” Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger said of the Justice Department on ABC News’ This Week Sunday. “I certainly think there’s evidence of crimes, and I think it goes all the way up to Donald Trump.” He has remained defiant, with his team promising a “bullet-proof appeal,” but the committee has indicated it would still welcome his voluntary testimony, if the offer stands. The January 6 committee spent the first half of the summer presenting a damning case against Donald Trump, detailing the lengths to which the former president went to try to maintain his hold on power.

Liz Cheney didn't come right out and say she expects to lose her primary next month. But in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" on ...

Trump is the clear frontrunner in all polling conducted on the Republican presidential primary and seems very likely to run. But when you hear a politician talking about the country "standing on the edge of an abyss" and the need to elect "serious candidates," well, it doesn't take an astrophysicist to figure out what's going on there. Which tells you everything you need to know about Cheney and 2024. The simple fact is that Cheney is very unlikely to beat Harriet Hageman in next month's primary. And we have to elect serious candidates." I'm not going to say things that aren't true about the election.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Three weeks before the most significant election of her political career, Liz Cheney was nowhere to be seen as thousands of voters ...

As Cheney focuses her energy on the Jan. 6 commission, Hageman has barnstormed the state courting small, rural crowds in the traditional mold of Wyoming politicking. They’re not going to vote for her,” said Schroeder, a retired psychologist and Frontier Days Rodeo volunteer. “It’s painful for her to have these security concerns. He called her a “despicable human being” on his social media site this month. Many Republicans on the ballot this year who criticized Trump after Jan. 6 have since tried to sidestep the controversy by focusing on local issues in their districts, President Joe Biden or runaway inflation. But there is also a notable group of Republican voters eager to move past Trump and his continued fight to overturn his 2020 election loss. Many Cheney allies are prepared for — if not resigned to — a loss in Wyoming’s Aug. 16 Republican primary against Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman. Left with few options, she has turned to Democrats for help. Still, few believe that an outspoken Trump critic could ultimately prevail in a Republican presidential primary. Local GOP offices offer yard signs for Hageman and many other Republicans on the ballot but not Cheney. “I don’t know if she’s representing the conservative Americans that voted her in.” As the cowboy fest roared back home, Cheney railed against Trump's failures.
