The Public Record
Liz Cheney is an American attorney and politician who served as the U.S. Representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district from 2017 to 2023. A member of the Republican Party, she is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney. During her time in Congress, Cheney was known for her strong stance on national security and her opposition to former President Donald Trump, particularly following the events of January 6, 2021, which led to her being removed from her leadership position within the House Republican Conference.
There are people in this chamber right now who were evacuated with me and with the rest of us on that day during that attack, people who now seem to have forgotten the danger of the moment, the assault on the Constitution, the assault on…
Blocking this one nominee, therefore, isn’t an effective strategy for blocking the prosecution of Bannon for blocking all the prosecutions of the January 6th rioters.
I ask each one of you to step back from the brink. I urge you to do what you know is right, to think of the long arc of history. In many nations, democracy has failed because those with authority would not act to protect it, because they…
The President himself I think made it very clear that those who violate the law should be prosecuted.
I urge you to do what you know is right, to think of the long arc of history. We are told that it bends towards justice, but it does so only because of the actions of men and women in positions of public trust.
Almost every one of my colleagues knows in your hearts, that what happened on January 6 was profoundly wrong. You all know that there is no evidence of widespread election fraud sufficient to have changed the results of the election. You…
Mr. Bannon`s excused is that former President Trump wishes to invoke some form of executive privilege. There is no conceivably applicable privilege that could shield Mr. Bannon from testimony. Mr. Bannon`s and Mr. Trump`s privilege…
The day before this all occurred, on January 5th, Mr. Bannon publicly professed knowledge that, quote, all hell is going to break loose tomorrow, end quote. He forecast that the day would be, quote, extraordinarily different than what most…
On January 6th, a mob breached the security perimeter of our Capitol, assaulted and injured more than 140 police officers, engaged in hand to hand violence over an extended period and invaded and occupied the United States Capitol…
Based on the committee`s investigation, it appears that Mr. Bannon had substantial advanced knowledge of the plans for January 6th and likely had an important role in formulating those plans.
Because he has categorically refused to appear, we have no choice but to seek consequences for Mr. Bannon`s failure to comply.
Let me address my Republican colleagues specifically. I`ve heard from a number of my colleagues in the last several days who say they, quote, just don`t want this target on their back. They`re just trying to keep their heads down. They…
This information should not be subject to any privilege at all. Mr. Bannon`s and Mr. Trump`s privilege arguments do however appear to reveal one thing. They suggest that President Trump was personally involved in the planning and execution…
On January 6, a mob breached the security perimeter of our Capitol, assaulted and injured more than 140 police officers, engaged in hand-to-hand violence over an extended period, and invaded and occupied the United States Capitol Building…
In the words of many who participated in the January 6th attack, the violence that day was in direct response to President Trump's repeated claims from election night through January 6th that he had won the election.
You know the truth and you understand why that we have this Committee and why we're doing this investigation, and it's time for you to tell yourself the truth.
The day before this all occurred, on January 5, Mr. Bannon publicly professed knowledge that -- quote -- "All hell is going to break loose tomorrow" -- end quote.
You know in your hearts that what happened on January 6 was profoundly wrong. You know there is no evidence of widespread election -- election fraud sufficient to overturn the election. You know the Dominion voting machines were not…
The plain fact here is that Mr. Bannon has no legal right to ignore the committee's lawful subpoena.
You all know that there is no evidence of widespread election fraud sufficient to have changed the results of the election. You all know that the Dominion voting machines were not corrupted by a foreign power. You know these claims are…
I request that Members have 2 calendar days in which to file with the clerk of the Committee supplemental or additional views on the measure ordered reported by the Committee tonight.
Preserving our Constitution and the rule of law is a central purpose of this investigation.
