An interim report on the January 6 Capitol riots accuses former Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) of illegally tampering with witnesses who testified before the Democrat-controlled January 6 Select Committee during the previous Congress. Released on Tuesday, the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report reveals Cheney coached former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on her testimony, urging her to alter parts of her story.

“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the committee states. Chaired by Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report continues: “Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.”

“This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause,” the report concludes.

Loudermilk’s investigation also suggests that Hutchinson committed perjury while testifying before the January 6 Select Committee, likely at Cheney’s behest. However, the report alleges that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has withheld critical documents from congressional investigators, making it difficult to confirm that the witness lied to Congress. Additionally, the document indicates that Hutchinson may have lied in her interview with the FBI following the events of January 6.

Witness tampering is considered a federal crime, with those convicted being sentenced to as much as 20 years in prison.
