Trump could be forced to testify over Capitol riot, says Liz Cheney: ‘This is not a game’

Congresswoman Liz Cheney, the former House Republican conference chair, left open the possibility of subpoenaing former president Donald Trump and current House minority leader Kevin McCarthy as part of the hearings over the violence at the Capitol on 6 Jan.

Miss Cheney made the suggestion Tuesday morning on ABC’s Good morning America.

“This is absolutely not a game. This is deadly serious”, she said.

“There are some in my party, including Leader McCarthy, who continue to act as though this is about partisan politics, I think it’s really sad. I think it’s a disgrace”, Ms Cheney continued.
