Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection, said at the panel's hearing Tuesday that former President Donald Trump attempted to contact a witness who has not yet been publicly identified.
"After our last hearing, President Trump tried to call a witness in our investigation, a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings," the Wyoming Republican said at the conclusion of the hearing, which focused on ties between Trump and extremist groups that stormed the US Capitol. "That person declined to answer or respond to President Trump's call, and instead alerted their lawyer to the call. Their lawyer alerted us. And this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice."
As notable as Cheney's revelation is, she also raised the possibility that the incident could prompt interest from Justice Department prosecutors. The comments were the first time the committee has explicitly described providing information to the DOJ that they discovered during their probe.
Attempting to call a witness does not necessarily rise to witness tampering on its own, and it's unclear what if anything the Justice Department would do in response to Cheney's comments.
However, it's not the first public suggestion of witness tampering the committee has made. Previously, the committee noted two incidents where their star witness, former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, received messages about being loyal to Trump.
Those, however, weren't from Trump himself -- and Trump's personal involvement raises the stakes if the message was intended to impact a witness' testimony

Beat that dead horse, Liz.
he knows every single person they have interviewed or will interview. so what...
A witness you have not yet seen in these hearings.
Acting coach needs more time
Dems relying upon the self-controlled, sweet, placid, Gandhi-like turn-the-other-cheek conservatives.
We could go on being like that forever. Or not.
For Kavanaugh hearings "memories" to come out, Christine Blasey Ford needed acting and brainwashing hypnosis.
This secret "witness" against Trump is still undergoing that.
Dick Cheney and George Bush we’re once the toast of Free Republic. To criticize them meant getting flamed or banned. To criticize their Iraq war - the way Trump does - was a bannable offense.
34 days till she’s out of a job.
Jorge Arbusto.....
“ Liz Cheney is a particular vile form of vermin,”
Liz is just carrying out the Cheney family’s vendetta against Trump for denouncing their Iraq war.
There was a time when most Freepers would have sided with Liz, because they hated anybody who says what Trump says about h to e Iraq war. Freepers LOVED bush-Cheney and their blood-soaked invasion.
So, so sick of all this and that is exactly what their plan has been since 2016. Make the people so sick of hearing about Donald Trump that no matter how much he is wanted as POTUS, it just isn’t worth it. It doesn’t matter what the story is, what the truth is, just drown the people in it everyday until they say, “make it stop”.
In for a penny, in for a pound. Cheney has gone full ugly RINO liar.
Never go full ugly RINO liar Dizzy Lizzy. Even you should know that with your low IQ.
I think we need to start praying for God’s JUSTICE against these evil beaurocrats…where 2 or more are gathered to pray…

Has anyone not figured out Fox yet ?
Trump is 2 yrs gone and they start every 6:00 Hard News Baier show with 10 mins of rumors about Donald Trump, while Joe and his son made Billions off the Chinese and his son’s girlfriend is believed to be a Chinese Spy, and they brought him gifts to his Hotel room when he was in China.
A Billion to Ukraine to fire a Prosecutor. Joe lifted sanctions on Putin’s pipeline to Germany after Russia hired a former member of his staff for over a Million dollars to lobby Joe.
Fox only cares about dirt on Trump.
“TRIED” to call? 🤣🤣🤣
Just a Nazi show trial. I think Trump will be more popular than ever.
If the witness hadn’t been publicly identified, how could trump know that any person he called may be a potential witness?
This is another unidentified witness reportedly called by an anonymous source
More made up BS
Witness tampering?
Is this “committee” an Article III court?
