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.”

He’s a former president and the target of their investigation and they will not let the public hear what he has to say? What complete fascist creeps.
“Avoid a circus?” IT IS ALREADY IS A FRIGGIN’ CIRCUS! Giving President Trump the center ring will just make it a BIGGER CIRCUS WITH LOTS MORE FUN AND CLOWNS. Shut up and get a job, Lizzie.
Daddy’s She-Wolf of the SS speaks.
This whole thing has been a circus. And Liz worries Trump would make it into a circus?? What the heck???
Says the circus clown...
Yeah like this whole sack of garbage “Committee” hasnt been a circus since day 1..the REAL reason she doesn’t want him to testify in public is because she doesn’t want everyone to see the TRUTH..instead they want to be able to leak whatever they want in order make Trump look bad
Covid is allegedly going to return in the fall/winter...it's seasonal.
Following their narrative, it would be DANGEROUS for a man of Trump's age to testify in person with all those covid cooties swimming in the air. Even those who've been perpetuallay inoculated and wearing masks are at risk - oh my!!
Lucky for us, we have Twitch.
Thus, why not have Trump testify via Twitch? Oh, and Team Trump can accidentally release the link to the public. Oops.
Some enterprising Deplorable can mirror the broadcast using a MST3K screen, and add dialogue.
Leftist fascist creepozoids cannot stand being in the light.
When President Trump was inaugurated, he invited Pelousy and Schumer to the Oval Office to discuss the possibility of working together. President Trump had invited the press and they had their microphones and cameras around the Office. When President Trump tried to begin the interaction, Pelousy stopped him and stated ‘we can’t do this with all of them here.’ She wanted to be able to lie afterwards and state pure lies about what was really said.
He might turn it into a more interesting circus, and clarify who are the clowns and who is their ringleader.
Well, maybe the Jan 6th panel be reconstituted (without Cheney and company) following the November mid-terms and then hold a final set of open hearings with President Trump. Bet that would make a good wrap up and get everyone’s attention. Use it as a kick off to the 2024 elections.
Televising would help the serfs distinguish the animals (asses) and the clowns.
We so enjoy watching our money being spent on such ‘important’
things.
Afraid to be whipped by Ring master Donald?
“That chicken has done flown the coup Lizzy... “
I see what you did there…
Wait, you did misspell “coop” on purpose right?!?
How utterly dishonest of Cheney. She knows that Trump will simply plead the 5th and not testify under those conditions, but she ignores that and just describes exactly how the testimony will proceed. Except it won’t.
Lizzy admitting she cannot handle President Trump one on one.
Everything has been public so far. If they do it behind closed doors they will only make themselves look like the devious snakes they are.
No one buys this, of course. But too many will pretend to, and do it with a straight face and somber nod.
