She noted that “we must know what happened here at the Capitol” but also that they should find out what happened “every minute of that day in the White House: every phone call, every conversation, every meeting leading up to, during and after the attack
Cheney said Americans should know what happened “every minute of that day” inside the Trump White House.at the committee’s first hearing on Capitol Hill. She is one of two Republicans on the bipartisan panel.“We must overcome the many efforts we are already seeing to cover up the facts,” she said.
That comment shows that Cheney and others on the committee plan to use subpoena power to compel testimony from top officials in the Trump White House, such as former chief of staff Mark Meadows, former Vice President Mike Pence and former President Donald Trump himself.Cheney made clear that her preference, along with that of every other member of the panel, would have been to have a committee of people from outside the government doing this investigation.
Cheney challenged members of her own Republican Party not to deny the reality of what happened on Jan. 6. Some of those Republicans, such as Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, have tried to portray the rioters who assaulted the U.S. Capitol as victims.
