Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) says Trump is trying to delay his criminal trials “to suppress the evidence” from voters.

Speaking at Dartmouth on the eve of the third anniversary of the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Donald Trump is trying to delay his criminal trials “to suppress the evidence, to prevent the American people from seeing it before they go to the polls,” and to delay “the most senior figures in his administration” from testifying before the 2024 election:

“As you watch the former president's efforts to delay his trials, especially his January 6th trial, I ask you to remember this: His efforts at delay are an attempt to suppress the evidence, to prevent the American people from seeing it before they go to the polls. Those who will be testifying against Donald Trump are not his political opponents. They are the most senior figures in his administration. The West Wing of the White House is a very small place. The witnesses against the former president are people like his own White House counsel who works just upstairs from the Oval Office, his own most senior advisors who work just down the hall from him, the leaders of his own Justice Department, the leaders of his own campaign — every one of them who told him repeatedly that his effort to overturn the election was illegal and unconstitutional, and that his claims of election fraud were false. Those are the people who will be the witnesses at his trial, and those are the people that Donald Trump does not want American voters to hear from before we go to the polls.”
