On Jan. 6, 2021, a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes. This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic, Cheney, R-Wyo., said in a statement announcing her intention to vote to impeach Trump.

In a press release sent out Tuesday afternoon, Wyoming Congresswoman and House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney announced she would vote to impeach President Trump. She is the first member of the GOP congressional leadership to do so.
In a statement, Cheney, the number three House Republican, said, The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing.
