On Tuesday, a report released from House Republicans recommended that the FBI investigate former Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) for her role as chair of the January 6 Committee.

Key Details: In its 128-page report, the House Administration Committee called for an investigation into Cheney, accusing her of witness tampering by being in touch with former White House aide and star witness Cassidy Hutchison.

Key Quotes: “Until we hold accountable those responsible, and reform our institutions, we will not fully regain trust," wrote House Administration Committee Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA). In response to the report, Cheney said, "This Interim Report intentionally disregards the truth and the Select Committee’s tremendous weight of evidence, and instead fabricates lies and defamatory allegations in an attempt to cover up what Donald Trump did."

For Context: In July 2021, the January 6 Committee was founded to "investigate the breach of the U.S. Capitol" by supporters of then-president Donald Trump prior to President Biden taking office on January 20.

How the Media Covered It: The Associated Press (Left Bias) reported that the House committee findings indicate that the Republican Party is working to support President-elect Donald Trump's desire to punish his perceived enemies. The Washington Times (Lean Right Bias) noted that the report also emphasized the "failures and politicization" of the now-dissolved panel.
