Allies of former President Donald Trump have tried to intimidate people with knowledge of what was going on inside the White House around the time of the Capitol attack, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) revealed Tuesday at the conclusion of a shocking congressional hearing.
Cheney, who serves as vice chair of the House committee investigating the attack, said the panel commonly asks its witnesses whether anyone has contacted them for the purpose of influencing their testimony.

At least two said yes. Cheney shared their experiences while shielding their identities.
What they said to me is, As long as I continue to be a team player, they know that Im on the team, Im doing the right thing, Im protecting who I need to protect, you know, Ill continue to stay in good graces in Trump World, she said one witness told the committee. And they have reminded me a couple of times that Trump does read transcripts and just to keep that in mind as I proceeded through my depositions and interviews with the committee.
Another witness received a veiled threat over the phone.

(121 posts)There is already more than enough evidence to arrest Trump right now and keep him in jail while more evidence keeps piling up. The reason for not granting him bail is because he has been conducting and encouraging , through his cult members, a campaign of witness tempering and intimidation. Many of the witnesses before the House commitee have received threats against their lives, and if Trump remains at large that campaign of terror will just increase.

...there's too much wiggle room in this country for people at the top...
...not right...
