Intelligence reports compiled by the U.S. Capitol Police in the days before last year’s insurrection envisioned only an improbable or remote risk of violence.
January 6, 2021. It is a day that will live in infamy for many, many years to come. On that day, thousands of people descended upon the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. to "stop the steal."
Former Vice President, Casper native, and Natrona County High School graduate Dick Cheney appeared alongside his daughter, Liz on Thursday to acknowledge the one-year anniversary of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol; an attack that left 5 people dead.
"You know, we had over 60 courts in this country that ruled against the claims the former president was making, and yet he rejected those rulings and attempted to overturn the will of the people," Cheney said.
Reacting to President Joe Biden, who blamed him for the deadly event, Trump issued statements repeating his assertions that the voting was rigged. Those claims have been thoroughly debunked.
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection is subpoenaing six more people who the panel says were involved in the organization and planning of rallies that aimed to overturn Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection has issued subpoenas to three extremist organizations, including the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers as well as their leaders.
Congresswoman Liz Cheney recently appeared on Fox News to discuss a myriad of issues, including how she believes Republicans can move forward in a post-Trump America.
"It appears that Fox News is giving Tucker Carlson a platform to spread the same type of lies that provoked violence on January 6," Cheney wrote on her personal Twitter page. "As Fox News knows, the election wasn't stolen and January 6 was not a 'false flag.'"
President Joe Biden will not block the handover of documents sought by a House committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
