House GOP accuses Liz Cheney of tampering with J6 witness, ask FBI to investigate criminality
Interim report by Rep. Barry Loudermilk concludes Jan. 6 attack was “preventable,” highlights intelligence and security failures, Cheney's possible shenanigans.
The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee and its chairman Barry Loudermilk on Tuesday released an interim report on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, concluding the attack was preventable and also asking for an investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney for criminally tampering with a witness during the Democrat-led congressional inquiry of the tragedy.
“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the report released by the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee and its chairman Barry Loudermilk stated.
"Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.," it added. “This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause."
Federal law criminalizes witness tampering of varying degrees, and subjects a defendant to as many as 20 years in prison.

The report also took direct aim at former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, Cheney’s star witness at the nationally televised hearings, alleging that Cheney encouraged false testimony about a handwritten document and noting her sensational claim that former President Donald Trump tried to commandeer his presidential limousine that day to take it to the Capitol was directly refuted by the Secret Service.
Loudermilk’s report suggested Cheney also bore responsibility for Hutchinson's testimony.
“The Federal Bureau of Investigation must also investigate Representative Cheney for violating 18 U.S.C. 1622, which prohibits any person from procuring another person to commit perjury,” the report said. ”Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, Hutchinson committed perjury when she lied under oath to the Select Committee.”
The report delivers a second bombshell, revealing Loudermilk’s team uncovered “evidence of collusion” between Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Democrats’ Jan. 6 committee led by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Cheney.
When Smith released a trove of documents in October that were used in his filings in the Trump case, present in the batch was an unredacted transcript from one Jan. 6 Select Committee interview with a witness.
"Given that the Select Committee did not archive, or otherwise destroy this transcript, and that the White House refused to
provide an unredacted version to the Subcommittee, the only remaining explanation is that Special Counsel Smith received the unredacted version from one of the two institutions which did not cooperate fully with the Subcommittee," Loudermilk's committee concluded.
The report confirms numerous stories reported by
Just the News over the last two years that have substantially changed the public's understanding of that tragic day, including:
- The Select Committee failed to preserve significant evidence from its investigation, more than one terabyte of data in total, that includes missing videos of witness interviews;
- Star witness Cassidy Hutchinson made significant material changes to her original testimony with the help of Vice Chair Cheney in an errata sheet where she introduced new narratives, some that conflicted with Secret Service testimony;
- Speaker Pelosi took some responsibility for not ensuring adequate Capitol security in unaired footage recorded as part of an HBO documentary being made by her daughter; and
- Department of Defense officials delayed the deployment of National Guard the Capitol despite standing orders from President Donald Trump to keep his speech and the Capitol safe.
Loudermilk accompanied the interim report with a personal letter to his House colleagues, saying his review of the Democrats' Jan. 6 committee provided evidence that Congress has ventured into the business of misleading Americans for political gain and imploring them to help reverse that dynamic.
“Americans expect and deserve a government that is small in size, limited in scope, and fully accountable to the people, as our Founders intended,” he wrote. “The actions of some elected officials and certain government bureaucrats in the aftermath of January 6, 2021, are evidence of how we have ventured far away from those basic principles of our constitutional republic.
“Transparency, accountability, and equal application of the law are the only solutions to return our nation to one that is free, safe and full of opportunity,” he wrote.
