Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., also criticized Bannon in her opening remarks, saying he has “no legal right” to ignore the subpoena. She called on Republican lawmakers to support the work of the panel, invoking a list of conspiracy theories that prompted many in the pro-Trump mob to storm the Capitol.

“Almost all of you know in your hearts that what happened on January 6th was profoundly wrong,” she said. “You know that there is no evidence of widespread election fraud sufficient to overturn the election. You know that the Dominion voting machines were not corrupted by a foreign power. You know those claims are false. Yet President Trump repeats them almost daily.”

She added, “All of us who are elected officials must do our duty to prevent the dismantling of the rule of law and to ensure nothing like that dark day in January ever happens again.”
