Cheney said Sunday that the Department of Justice 'doesn't have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral' to decide to prosecute Trump.
The congresswoman's comments come as the committee has held a series of prime-time public hearings, including one on Tuesday in which Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows,
tried to grab the steering wheel of the presidential limousine when he was told he couldn't join his supporters at the Capitol during the insurrection., host Jonathan Karl asked Cheney, the vice chair of the January 6 committee, if she believes the hearings have"demonstrated that Donald Trump needs to be prosecuted."
"Ultimately the Justice Department will decide that. I think we may well as a committee have a view on that, and if you just think about it from the perspective of what kind of man knows that a mob is armed and sends the mob to attack the Capitol...It's very chilling and I think certainly we will continue to present to the American people what we've found," she said.
Representative Liz Cheney said Sunday that the House committee investigating last year's Capitol riot could make multiple criminal referrals in connection with former President Donald Trump's actions on January 6, 2021.
