Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney is facing serious legal challenges as she loses immunity and faces potential indictment for evidence destruction and witness tampering. This development stems from her role on the January 6th committee, where she was a prominent figure in investigating the Capitol riot.
A House GOP subcommittee, led by Congressman Barry Loudermilk, has recommended that Cheney be investigated by the FBI for her alleged actions. The subcommittee’s report accuses Cheney of tampering with a key witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with her without her attorney’s knowledge. These communications allegedly involved Cheney encouraging Hutchinson to provide false testimony, which could violate federal laws against witness tampering and evidence destruction.
Liz Cheney lost her immunity this week.
She is the most exposed and likely the first indicted. Destruction of evidence and witness tampering gives her prison time. pic.twitter.com/9RSnhjHvWD— Big Fish (@BigFish3000) December 22, 2024
