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.”

Lizzy Cheney took an ax.
Gave herself 40 wacks...
thats weird
many previous high profile investigations had public hearings
watergate
iran contra
and on and on
when did public hearings become verbotten
Since the committee allowed others to testify on prime time TV, that prohibition ain’t gonna fly.
this is a complete cluster.
Liz knows it.
This witch has gone full Lavrenty Beria: “Show me the man and I’ll find the crime.”
Trump has hired Harmeet Dhillon to represent him in this 2-bit-dog-and-pony-show. He’s in pretty good hands!!
PDJT should go b4 this sham and extend his middle finger 🖕 and invoke his 5th amendment right to all questions.
The most hated person of the year!
I want a picture of that! Can be used over and over.
Liz should know. She is the biggest clown in the circus currently being played out.
So, what exactly was the point of subpoenaing him then, you stupid C**T?!
“Rep. Liz Cheney says January 6 committee won’t let Trump testify publicly to avoid ‘a circus’”
Star Chamber ... secret testimony ... then they can claim anything they want to ... besides, Jan 6 committee circus was exactly what they wanted UP TO NOW ...
Actually much f the testimony is scripted and recorded. This is like a Russian show trial and about as honest.
It’s BEEN a circus Liz. This is laughable.
It is impossible to steal, when the author grants you full permission to use. :)
Because Cheney is a pathetic fraud and this entire committee is fascistic in its conduct. Xi and Putin are jealous.https://t.co/ih3XKQBs6f— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) October 23, 2022
So it will be a private circus down in the shif cellar.
At this point the committee members no longer care that they smell like they’ve been burning and stirring the latrine pit.
Let. Trump. Know. Of. This. Plan. that will get at least the audio of his testimony out to MAGA either live or within an hour. And tell him to let it rip.
Out-kangaroo this kangaroo circus!
From kangaroo court to circus in one pronouncement.
Laughable.
The full House WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MUSTER A MAJORITY to hold Trump in contempt...before or after the election.
Hell, 50% of Democrat members would refuse to show up to the scheduled vote.
Friggin’ hilarious.
Oh, Trump will NOT agree to the terms and will not testify.
EVER.
And they know it.
