5. Witnesses Are Being Intimidated
The committee’s vice chairwoman, GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, has now publicly stated that at least two witnesses, who she did not name, have stated that they have been contacted by people close to the former President in order to intimidate them into changing their testimony. The committee has already shown examples of testimony that described the witnesses being asked by people close to the former President to be loyal to him and his administration.
Although these two examples have been put forward by the House select committee, members of the committee has alluded to the fact that they have even more examples of possible witness intimidation. When pressed on this extra evidence, Liz Cheney has remained slightly tight lipped, only saying the committee had evidence of a “particular practice that raises significant concern.”
