Despite receiving a preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden, former Wyoming Republican Representative Liz Cheney, who joined then-Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail and turned against then-President Donald Trump during his first term, may be compelled to testify under oath before a GOP-led House committee.

Republicans established a new committee to investigate the operations and workings of the January 6 Committee, with Cheney serving as co-chair and a panel primarily composed of Democrats hand-picked by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, shortly after givingling in their slim majority last month at the direction of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).

In recent years, reports have revealed that the committee was more concerned with politics than the causes of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. It turns out that the members of the committee allegedly concealed evidence to the contrary in order to focus on blaming Trump.

Cheney was outspoken in her criticism of Trump throughout the committee’s proceedings. “There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain,” she warned her party members in a June 2022 speech.
