capitol siege

In “Oath and Honor,” she will write about her estrangement from former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol.

The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection has identified a roughly eight-hour gap in official records of then-President Donald Trump’s phone calls as the violence unfolded and his supporters stormed the building.

White House call logs obtained so far by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol do not list calls made by then-President Donald Trump as he watched the violence unfold on television.

January 6, 2021. It is a day that will live in infamy for many, many years to come. On that day, thousands of people descended upon the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. to "stop the steal."

Former Vice President, Casper native, and Natrona County High School graduate Dick Cheney appeared alongside his daughter, Liz on Thursday to acknowledge the one-year anniversary of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol; an attack that left 5 people dead.

"You know, we had over 60 courts in this country that ruled against the claims the former president was making, and yet he rejected those rulings and attempted to overturn the will of the people," Cheney said.

"We're actively litigating to obtain White House records Trump is trying to conceal. We will not allow him to hide the truth about January 6, or his conduct, from the American people."

Supporters of Donald Trump are trying to remove some of the guardrails that stopped him from overturning the 2020 presidential election that he lost.

"It appears that Fox News is giving Tucker Carlson a platform to spread the same type of lies that provoked violence on January 6," Cheney wrote on her personal Twitter page. "As Fox News knows, the election wasn't stolen and January 6 was not a 'false flag.'"

Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the Chairman of the January 6 Select Committee, along with Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) have announced that John Wood will serve as the Senior Investigative Counsel for the January 6 Select Committee.
