Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Following the completion of their own January 6 probe, House Republicans, led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, have accused former Rep. Liz Cheney of witness tampering involving Cassidy Hutchinson. The 128-page interim report suggests Cheney interfered with Hutchinson's testimony, and calls for an FBI investigation into her actions. Cheney, having previously faced political backlash for her critical stance on Trump, defended her committee's work and dismissed the accusations as unfounded, asserting they distort the facts surrounding the Capitol attack.
