Liz Cheney Claims Trump’s Involvement In Capitol Riot ‘Most Serious Misconduct’ by Any US President

According to Congresswoman Liz Cheney—a member of the committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol last year. 

Donald Trump engaged in the “most serious misconduct” of any US president in history, by inciting the mayhem and then refusing for more than three hours to put an end to the rioters, 

Liz Cheney, a vocal opponent of Trump, launched the most recent attack on her fellow Republican days after witnesses testified before a House of Representatives committee.

Their testimony indicates that Trump disregarded pleas from White House aides, Republican congressional backers, conservative television commentators, and family members; to disperse about 2,000 Trump-supporting rioters last year as they attempted to prevent Congress from certifying that Democrat Joe Biden had defeated him in the 2020 election.

Steve Bannon, a former Trump advisor who was found guilty Friday of contempt of Congress for refusing to appear before the committee, is still being sought as a witness, according to Liz Cheney. 

Bannon declared he was ready to testify just before his trial last week, but no appearance has been arranged.

She quoted him saying, days before the election in November 2020, that Trump would declare victory on election night regardless of the vote total at the moment, and Trump did so. 

When the polls closed, Trump was in the lead in the vote count, but days later he lost because of mail-in votes that disproportionately favoured Biden.
