‘There are some in my party, including Leader McCarthy, who continue to act as though this is about partisan politics, I think it’s really sad. I think it’s a disgrace’
Congresswoman Liz Cheney, the former House Republican conference chair, left open the possibility of subpoenaing former President Donald Trump and current House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as part of the hearings over the violence at the Capitol on 6 January.
Miss Cheney made the suggestion on Tuesday morning on ABC’s Good Morning America.
“This is absolutely not a game. This is deadly serious”, she said.
“There are some in my party, including Leader McCarthy, who continue to act as though this is about partisan politics, I think it’s really sad. I think it’s a disgrace.”
During the interview, Ms Cheney was asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos what she meant by her now widely-reported comment to Rep Jim Jordan, one of the top promoters of Mr Trump’s falsehoods about the 2020 election, during the riot: “Get away from me, you did this”.

This investigation is critical if our democracy is to survive. Those responsible for the Jan 6 insurrection must be held accountable regardless of who they are, or perhaps because of who they are.
Testimony entered into the record this morning was inspirational, and the emotional reactions of the committee members were reassuring and very moving.
