Liz Cheney says she WOULD comply with subpoena related to Jan. 6 committee if GOP retakes a majority

Liz Cheney said that if her party were to launch an inquiry into the creation of the January 6 select committee, she would comply with a subpoena to testify if issued by her colleagues.

The Wyoming Republican, who recently lost her at-large House seat in the primary elections Tuesday, said Sunday that Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy shouldn’t become speaker if the GOP wins in November because he is ‘unfaithful to the Constitution.’

Cheney is one of the two Republicans on the House select committee probing the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. She is joined by Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and seven Democratic lawmakers.

Donald Trump made it his revenge mission to get Cheney booted from her House seat in Wyoming.

The primary elections on Tuesday proved the former president successful when Cheney lost to the Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman by 37.4 points.

Upon joining the Pelosi-created panel attempting to prove a link between Trump’s rhetoric and the attack transpiring, Cheney lost favor with the party.

She lost her No. 3 House Republican spot as conference chairwoman and was censured by the Wyoming GOP. The final nail in the coffin of her career in the current Republican Party came with her devastating loss Tuesday.

When asked if she was concerned about an investigation into the committee she vice chairs, Cheney said would comply.

‘If Kevin McCarthy, or Jim Jordan or any of the other individuals threatening to investigate the committee carry through on that threat and issue a subpoena for me to appear, I will abide by that subpoena,’ she told ABC News’ This Week host Johnathan Karl Sunday morning.

‘And I will welcome the opportunity to come and explain to them exactly what we found and the threat that Donald Trump poses to the country,’ she added.

She also used the opportunity to say that her willingness to comply with future investigations should be a signal to her Republican colleagues that they should be amenable to the current probe – amid reports that McCarthy could be among those subpoenaed to testify in follow-up hearings next month.

McCarthy has rejected requests for him to testify in the past. He has said he would testify before an ‘independent’ panel.

Earlier this summer, Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, a pro-Trump congressman who voted against certifying the 2020 election for Biden, refused to cooperate with a January 6 panel subpoena.

‘They are all completely shirking their obligations and their responsibility to come and testify about what they know,’ Cheney said of the GOP lawmakers who have refused to testify and fought subpoenas.

‘And I think that, again, that’s an abdication of their responsibility under the Constitution.’

Asked specifically on Sunday about McCarthy, Cheney said: ‘Well, my views about Kevin McCarthy are very clear.’

‘The Speaker of the House is the second in line for the presidency,’ he added. ‘It requires somebody who understands and recognizes their duty, their oath, their obligation.’

‘And he’s been completely unfaithful to the Constitution and demonstrated a total lack of understanding of the significance and the importance of the role of speaker. So I don’t believe he should be speaker of the House. And you know, I think that’s been very clear.’

‘You think the country would be worse off if he were speaker of the House,’ Karl posed.

She replied: ‘I don’t believe he should be speaker of the House.’
