A new report released by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) and the House Administration on Oversight Subcommittee calls for an investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney. It was previously revealed that she colluded with witness Cassidy Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge surrounding the House Select Committee on January 6 interviews.
“The Democrats’ former J6 Select Committee conducted their ‘investigation’ outside the bounds of legitimacy, suppressed evidence, and deleted key information,” Loudermilk wrote on X. “Today’s report exposes them for misleading Congress and the American people.”
“Americans expect and deserve a government that is small in size, limited in scope, and fully accountable to the people, as our Founders intended. The actions of some elected officials and certain government bureaucrats in the aftermath of January 6, 2021, are evidence of how we have ventured far away from those basic principles of our constitutional republic,” Loudermilk wrote in a letter accompanying the report. “Transparency, accountability, and equal application of the law are the only solutions to return our nation to one that is free, safe and full of opportunity. I sincerely pray that this report is just the beginning of an era of restoring our federal government to the basic principles of transparency and accountability.”
The report says that Cheney likely broke “numerous federal laws” and should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
“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. 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,” the report continues.
The report then urged the FBI to investigate Cheney for violating a U.S. code that “prohibits any person from procuring another person to commit perjury.”
“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, Hutchinson committed perjury when she lied under oath to the Select Committee. Additionally, Hutchinson was interviewed by the FBI as part of its investigation into President Trump. This Subcommittee sought a copy of the FBI report 302, documenting this interview and Hutchinson’s statements, but the FBI has refused to produce this vital document. The FBI must immediately review the testimony given by Hutchinson in this interview to determine if she also lied in her FBI interview, and, if so, the role former Representative Cheney played in instigating Hutchinson to radically change her testimony,” the report states.
