President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden for giving former Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney a medal amid Congressional Republicans’ investigation into her and others’ actions while on the now-defunct January 6 committee.
In a Friday Truth Social post, Trump wrote, “Biden gave Liz Cheney a Medal yesterday, even though she has proven to be totally corrupt. She, “Bennie” Thompson, and the rest of the Unselect Committee, destroyed and deleted all evidence from their crooked investigation of January 6th.”
He pointed to the deep disappointment her constituents felt regarding her actions and slammed Biden for his politically motivated decision. “Cheney has the distinction of losing her Congressional seat by the largest margin in History! The people of Wyoming understood how bad for our Country she was, but Biden rewarded her only because she hated ‘TRUMP.’”
Trump blasted Cheney for her legislative decisions while in Congress. “She’s a Warmonger of low intelligence. All she wants to do is kill people in ‘Endless Wars,’ with no gain other than to defense companies.”
He torched the former lawmaker and the other members of the January 6th committee and reminded his followers of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s role in securing the Capitol ahead of his historical 2021 rally. “Liz Cheney, Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger, Bennie Thompson, and the rest of these dishonest Thugs have gotten away with horrible things under the pretense of January 6th. Nancy Pelosi refused to accept the help which was offered for security. She is responsible, and admitted as much, for all to see, on her daughter’s tape.”
He concluded his post with a pointed remark about Biden’s decision. “They have destroyed the lives of many people, and are rewarded by getting Biden Fake Medals. This is not America. January 20th cannot come fast enough. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
House Republicans recently demanded the FBI investigate Cheney for witness tampering.
A report released in December by the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee said, “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.”
The report noted that “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.”
