US Representative Liz Cheney, a fierce Republican critic of Donald Trump who has played a prominent role in the congressional probe of the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, lost to a Trump-backed primary challenger on Tuesday. FRANCE 24's Kethevane Gorjestani reports from Washington.
Liz Cheney, a leading Republican critic of Donald Trump, vowed Tuesday to do everything in her power to prevent the former president from returning to the White House.
Representative Liz Cheney, the senior Republican on the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack and an outspoken critic of Trump, warns fellow Republicans against attempts to "whitewash" the reality of the attack. "No member of Congress should now attempt to defend the indefensible, obstruct this investigation, or whitewash what happened that day," Cheney says on the first day of the hearing in Washington, DC. SOUNDBITE
Republicans in the US House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to eject Liz Cheney from the party's House leadership. Eighteen months before crucial midterms and three years before the next presidential race, the Republican Party punished one of its own for refusing to embrace Donald Trump's false claim that Democrats stole the 2020 election. FRANCE 24's correspondent in Washington, Kethevane Gorjestani, tells us more.
