Trump Says Liz Cheney Should Be ‘Prosecuted’ for Destroying Jan. 6 Evidence

The former president wrote that he believes the former lawmaker “illegally destroyed the evidence” as co-chair of the Jan. 6 House committee.

Former President Donald Trump suggested that he believes former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the co-chair of the controversial House Jan. 6 committee, should face prosecution for withholding evidence during her time on the panel.

“She should be prosecuted for what she has done to our country! She illegally destroyed the evidence. Unreal!!” he wrote on Truth Social.

He was responding to a Federalist article penned by former Trump aide Kash Patel in which he wrote that Ms. Cheney and the Jan. 6 committee suppressed evidence about his activity on and before Jan. 6, 2021. Mr. Patel noted that the panel did not include evidence that President Trump authorized the deployment of National Guard troops during the Capitol breach.

That article came on the heels of a House Republican-released report last week that found that pieces of evidence and testimony that favored the former president was not included in the Jan. 6 committee’s final report. They also wrote that a key witness’s third-hand claims about President Trump were disputed by the Secret Service driver involved in the alleged incident.

On social media, Ms. Cheney wrote that President Trump’s comments “are lies” and that he has “had all the grand jury [and Jan. 6] transcripts for many months.”  She added, “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.”

The former congresswoman—who lost her Wyoming House primary in 2022 by 40 percentage points—was referring to four felony charges against the former president over alleged efforts by him to overturn the 2020 election.

The trial has been delayed as his lawyers have submitted a petition to the Supreme Court arguing that his activity after the election fall under presidential immunity, saying he should not be prosecuted because he was working under his capacity as commander-in-chief.

On Monday, President Trump also asked whether former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson would be prosecuted after a recent report cast doubt on her claims she made about the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach.
