Liz Cheney: Jan. 6 panel mulling ‘enhanced criminal penalties’ in response to Trump’s ‘dereliction of duty’
March 21, 2022 | Kevin Haggerty
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) danced around a question about criminal referrals to suggest possible legislative action by way of “enhanced criminal penalties” as the January 6 select committee ramps up their narrative-building in the lead up to the midterms.
Cheney joined NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press” Sunday where they discussed the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Iran nuclear deal. Before the conversation ended, Todd sought an update on the House of Representatives’ heavily partisan investigation into the events that took place on Capitol Hill during the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
Specifically, Todd set up an opportunity for Cheney to bring up former President Donald Trump when he asked, “The public exposé that you guys are eventually going to do…should we expect criminal referrals on this?”
