Liz Cheney disputes report January 6 panel split over Trump criminal referral

A key Republican on the House January 6 committee disputed a report which said the panel was split over whether to refer Donald Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal charges regarding his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, leading to the Capitol attack.

But Cheney would not be drawn on whether Trump should be referred for prosecution.

Asked if there was a dispute on the committee, Cheney said there was not.

On Sunday, Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican leader who ejected Cheney from leadership over her involvement in the January 6 committee, issued a statement in support of the fight for democracy in Ukraine, in the face of the Russian invasion.
