Former President Donald Trump’s conduct surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, siege of the U.S. Capitol may have been criminal, Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican vice-chair of the House committee probing the events, said Sunday.
The House panel, which took the extraordinary step of subpoenaing the former president Friday, has detailed his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and his refusal to intervene when his supporters stormed Congress while lawmakers met to certify the election results, she noted.
“I think that there are multiple criminal offenses,” Cheney told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I don’t want to get in front of the committee, but that’s what we are looking at.”
