The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee, led by Chairman Barry Loudermilk, released an interim report on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot on Tuesday concluding that the attack was preventable and called for an investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) for allegedly tampering with a witness during the Democrat-led congressional inquiry into the event.
“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the report released by the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee and its chairman Barry Loudermilk stated, according to Just the News.
“Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.,” it added. “This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause.”
