The Jan. 6 committee could subpoena Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, over her attempts to press the Trump White House to try to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, Rep. Liz Cheney said Sunday.
Senior reporter Rhonda Colvin breaks down the major takeaways from the Jan. 6 hearings so far. capped off six weeks of televised testimony.“The floodgates have opened,” Rep. Elaine Luria said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” noting that Thursday’s prime time session was expected to be the final hearing when the committee initially planned its summer. “But so many more witnesses have come forward.”
“We will get to the bottom of it,” Cheney said, adding that those who watch the hearing should recognize “the really serious and grave threat the vice president was under. And the agents who were protecting him certainly did a tremendous service that day.” On “Fox News Sunday,” Cheney said the committee expects testimony from Anthony Ornato, former White House operations deputy chief of staff, and Robert Engel, a Secret Service agent who was the head of Trump’s security detail.
Committee members didn’t mince words about what they view as Trump’s dereliction of duty. But Cheney reiterated Sunday that the committee has not yet made a decision on whether to make criminal referrals of Trump to the Justice Department. Earlier this month, she said“I sure as hell hope [the Justice Department] have a criminal investigation at this point into Donald Trump,” Luria said.
