While the lawmakers said they deplored the violence of Jan. 6, they insisted suspects’ right must be respected. (Photo courtesy C-SPAN)

WASHINGTON The select committee aimed at investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol building holds its first hearing Tuesday. Rep. Liz Cheney, one of two Republicans selected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to serve on the committee, said the events of that day cannot go uninvestigated. And that includes all that went on in Donald Trump s White House. The American people deserve the full and open testimony of every person with knowledge of the planning and preparation for January 6th, Cheney said in her opening statement.
The Wyoming Republican has gone on record for criticizing her GOP colleagues for supporting the former president whom many say incited his supporters to attack the Capitol and undermining an investigation into the events of Jan. 6. She was voted out of her role as chair of the House Republican Conference in May as a result.
Donald Trump s Republican Party wants him to stick around: new poll
Most Republicans want former President Donald Trump to have at least some influence over their party s direction even as many who side with the party say they are uneasy about its future.
A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research captures widespread unease among Republicans over everything from the direction of the country to the state of American democracy and, in particular, President Joe Biden. Just 15 per cent approve of the way Biden is handling his job, and 66 per cent continue to say the Democrat was illegitimately elected, a lie perpetuated by Mr Trump that underscores his persistent grip on GOP voters.
