After Tuesday’s hearing of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion, Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming suggested that the case for prosecuting former President Donald Trump had been bolstered.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Cheney shared an article by anti-Trump commentator David French headlined “The Case for Prosecuting Donald Trump Just Got Much Stronger.”

In the article on The Dispatch, French wrote glowingly of what he described as the “courageous testimony” of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson against Trump.
Trending:
French wrote that while Trump might not face criminal charges, Hutchinson helped link the former president to the actions of the protesters who entered the Capitol.
“Earlier this afternoon she gave the most extraordinary congressional testimony I’ve ever seen,” he wrote. “She testified that the president was so committed to walking to the Capitol with his own supporters that he allegedly tried to grab the wheel of his Secret Service vehicle. She painted the picture of a president utterly out of control, a man so committed to preserving his own power that he approved of the riot and believed that Mike Pence deserved to face mob justice.
“But the most legally significant testimony came in a few key sentences:
“Hutchinson claims she overheard Trump say about the crowd, ‘You know, I don’t effing care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the effing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in. Take the effing mags away.’”
