Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, co-chair of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection, said the committee expects former President Donald Trump would testify behind closed doors if he complies with the committee’s subpoena, and said the committee wants to avoid turning Trump’s testimony into political theater.
Cheney said in an interview with NBC News on Sunday she expects Trump will comply with a subpoena from the committee that called on the former President to testify and share select documents with investigators. Cheney said the committee plans to treat Trump’s testimony “with great seriousness.”
“We are going to proceed in terms of questioning of the former President under oath,” Cheney said. “It may take multiple days, and it will be done with a level of rigor and discipline and seriousness that it deserves.”
Cheney dismissed the possibility of Trump testifying in front of the committee publicly.
“(Trump)’s not going to turn this into a circus,” Cheney said. “This isn’t going to be, you know, his first debate against Joe Biden and the circus and the food fight that that became. This is a far too serious set of issues.”

That chicken has done flown the coup Lizzy...
BECAUSE, the American people will see the sham perpetrated and behind closed doors they can manipulate the narrative, and lastly trump will wipe the floor with all of them hence their circus comment which is really the truth
“ won’t let”
Really?
If we the people are paying for struggle sessions, we have the right to watch.
Liz doesn’t want anyone else to upstage her as the circus master.
Sure.
How else could a "democracy" survive without Liz Cheney protecting us from ourselves and a "circus".
“We’ll tell you what he said. Trust us.” Right, Liz.
The entire committee is nothing but political theater.
They had NO problem letting their favored “witnesses” give public testimony to promote their circus when it serves their needs.
This thing is a farce and WE the people demand it be shut down immediately.
Very stalinesque of Ms Cheney. Just what we expect from Nanzi’s committee.
I’m not saying she should swing from a tall lamp post but if that happened it wouldn’t disturb me.
Ain’t gonna happen, Lizoid.
” . . . January 6 committee won’t let Trump testify publicly to avoid ‘a circus’ “ says the committee member wearing the clown nose.
No Lizzy, the committee itself is the circus. Trump refuses to be forced in as a performing animal unless people are allowed to see the full act.
Took them a week to poll test that response.
All that free airtime? No takers?
Trump should live stream his responses to cardboard cut outs of the committee members.
lol
That’s got to be the stupidest thing she has ever said.
Kangaroo court, minority Reps rejected by Pelosi, no defense allowed, secret testimony…it’s a purely Stalinist show trial.
all a trick.
do not fall for it Trump, resist, resist, and stall until Republicans take over.
And if a court forces you to, simply go there and take the 5th on everything. Because if you say ANYTHING including your name or that the sun rises in the east they will prosecute you for lying under oath.
“...the committee wants to avoid turning Trump’s testimony into political theater.”
The entire thing was political theater!!! With ONE intent: to keep Trump from running again!
Proves the corrupt reason for this sham hearing is not fairness but propaganda. The former president should be able to defend himself before these idiots.
What a filthy piece of work she is.
I am so tired of this vile, despicable beotch!! Just GO AWAY!!!! AND STFU!!!!
“(Trump)’s not going to turn this into a circus,” Cheney said
It’s a kangaroo court. Period.
