At the conclusion of Tuesday's Jan. 6 committee hearing, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) revealed that former President Donald Trump attempted to contact a witness in the panel's investigation.
"After our last hearing, President Trump tried to call a witness in our investigation, a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings," Cheney, the vice chair of the committee, said. "That person declined to answer or respond to President Trump's call, and instead alerted their lawyer to the call. Their lawyer alerted us. And this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice."
