Over the weekend, Wyoming Congresswoman and Vice Chair of the House Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol Liz Cheney (R-WY) joined both ABC’s “This Week” and CBS’s “Face the Nation” to discuss the progress of the Select Committee as we approach the first anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Cheney said they are learning much more about what former President Trump was doing while the violent assault was under way.
