As the 6 January committee prepares for a summer of what promise to be shocking and disturbing hearings about the Capitol riot, Donald Trump has laid into committee member Liz Cheney, claiming that she has taken her opposition to him to insane extremes.
“From what people tell me, from what I hear from other congressmen, she’s like a crazed lunatic, she’s worse than anyone else,” he told the Washington Post in an interview. “From what I’ve heard, she’s worse than any Democrat.”
The committee’s first public hearing since last year is set for 9 June.
Meanwhile, one of the key figures in the many 6 January-related cases underway is due to appear in a virtual court hearing today. Enrique Tarrio, a former leader of the extremist Proud Boys group, is seeking release from pre-trial detention while he awaits trial on conspiracy charges related to the Capitol attack.
