TFG 'Went to War With Rule of Law' in Jan. 6 Riot, Cheney Says
(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump’s actions while his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol show the former president is unfit for future office and could be held criminally responsible, said members of the House panel investigating the deadly 2021 riot.
Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney, one of two Republicans on the bipartisan committee, described Trump’s “dereliction of duty” as he watched from the White House while events unfolded, and resisted calls from his children and allies to intervene.
Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, who chairs the select committee, said the panel is looking at whether Trump’s actions were part of a broader plan, and whether they merit criminal referral to the U.S. Justice Department.
Trump “demonstrated he’s at war with the rule of law, that he’s willing to blow through every guardrail of democracy.”
