Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the vice chair and one of two Republicans on the panel, said “we’ll make a decision as a committee” about whether to alert the Justice Department to possible crimes it has uncovered.
“The Justice Department doesn’t have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral, and there could be more than one criminal referral,” she said on ABC’s “This Week.”
She also pointed to the explosive public hearing last week in which Cassidy Hutchinson, the former top aide to Mark Meadows when he was White House chief of staff, detailed outbursts of rage from Trump on the day he urged supporters to march to the Capitol. “I don’t f—ing care that they have weapons,” Trump said as he urged aides to remove magnetometers near the White House before he addressed a “Stop the Steal” rally, Hutchinson testified. “They’re not here to hurt me.”
“It’s very chilling, and I think we will, you know, continue to present to the American people what we found,” Cheney said.
