President Donald Trump responded to a bombshell report on Liz Cheney’s alleged suppression of evidence during the Jan. 6 Committee investigation.
Kash Patel highlighted findings by The Federalist’s Mollie Hemmingway, who discovered that Liz Cheney allegedly excluded evidence exonerating President Trump.
Patel wrote:
“Thanks to new and brilliant reporting from The Federalist’s Mollie Hemmingway, Cheney and her Never Trump comrades have been exposed for excluding the testimony of career Secret Service Agent Tony Ornato from the evidentiary record, not just in the J6 committee’s report, but also from the bogus Colorado court case. Ornato testified two years ago that Trump had indeed authorized the National Guard days before Jan. 6.”
Trump responded to The Federalist’s findings on Truth Social by stating, “She should be prosecuted for what she has done to our country? She illegally destroyed the evidence.”
He called it “unreal” and also criticized Cassidy Hutchinson in another post, noting that the Secret Service “crushed” her claims that implicated him in the investigation.
Furthermore, he asked, “Will she be prosecuted for what she did and said? What about the Unselect J6 Committee.”
He said, “They destroyed almost everything, including real evidence and findings. What’s going to happen with them – Serious crimes have been committed?”
As far back as August of 2021, FBI investigations have found little to no evidence of an “insurrection,” per Reuters.
By 2023, the New York Post reported on the lack of due process being given to Jan. 6 prisoners. This referred to the suppression of video evidence that may have led to exonerations instead of questionable charges and prison sentences.
While Hutchinson, Cheney, and other Jan. 6 committee members involved in allegedly suppressing evidence continue to enjoy their freedoms, Americans jailed for protesting at the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, remain imprisoned.
However, President Trump has not forgotten them. On March 11, he promised in a Truth Social post that one of his first acts as president, if reelected, would be to “Free the January 6 Hostages being wrongfully imprisoned!”
