YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Vice Chair Liz Cheney revealed at the close of the hearing that Trump “tried to call a witness in our investigation” and that the committee has notified the Justice Department.

The witness was one who has not appeared in the committee’s public hearings, the Wyoming Republican said, without identifying who it was. The person “declined to answer or respond to President Trump’s call” and “alerted their lawyer,” she said.

“Their lawyer alerted us, and this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice,” Cheney said. “Let me say one more time -- we will take any effort to influence witness testimony very seriously.”
