Ahead of the first prime-time televised hearings on the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 attack of the U.S. Capitol, Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney said she believed the assault was a “chilling” and “extremely well-organized” conspiracy carried out by far-right supporters of Donald Trump.
Cheney, who represents Wyoming, serves as vice chair of the House Select January 6th Committee tasked with investigating the dark day in which an angry mob of Trump supporters, white supremacists and far-right militia members stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 as the Congress jointly convened to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election — which Trump lost to Joe Biden.
