Cheney Hits Back At Trump’s Call To Prosecute Her

The Hill reports:

Trump, on Truth Social on Sunday, posted a piece from former Trump administration aide Kash Patel published in The Federalist last week, in which Patel claimed Cheney and the House Jan. 6 committee “suppressed evidence” about the former president’s authorization of National Guard troops during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.

You’re afraid of the truth and you should be. https://t.co/6L3N61OJw1
