#BERNIE HINDSIGHT 2020 TRIAL#

KARL: And describe that bond, because I imagine that's going to last long after you leave Congress.ĬHENEY: You know, we have difference of opinion - differences of opinion, among the 10 of us, about a whole range of issues - of other issues. KARL: There were 10 of you that chose to vote to impeach. KARL: That’s some of your Republican colleagues here. And I've heard from a number of other people, as you can imagine, over the course of the last several days. We had a very - a very good talk, a talk about the importance of putting the country ahead of partisanship. KARL: And I understand you heard from President Biden.ĬHENEY: I did hear from President Biden. I feel sad about the way that too many of my colleagues have responded to what I think is a great moral test and challenge of our time, a great - a great moment to determine whether or not people are going to stand up on behalf of the democracy and on behalf of our republic. You know, I feel - I feel sad about where my party is. You were considered a future speaker of the House, a potential future - maybe even the next speaker of the House. KARL: I mean, this wasn’t just losing a House seat. I began by asking her about the magnitude of her loss. KARL: Three days after her defeat, I sat down with Liz Cheney in the January 6th Committee hearing room for a wide-ranging discussion on her election loss, the Committee's remaining work, and her future in the Republican Party. I have said since January 6th, that I will do whatever it takes to ensure that Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office and I mean it.

While conceding to Trump's chosen candidate in Wyoming, Cheney launched a new national political organization, a new effort to vanquish Trumpism and to try to block any attempt by Trump to return to power.ĬHENEY: We must be very clear eyed about the threat we face and about what is required to defeat it. Unlike the former president, Cheney acknowledged she lost. Rudy Giuliani testifying before a special grand jury and Trump ally, Senator Lindsey Graham is next, after a federal judge rejected his effort to avoid testifying.Īnd in yet another legal case, Trump pleaded the fifth, something he had never done before.

Now he has pleaded guilty and has agreed to testify in a criminal trial likely to happen this fall against Trump's company.Īnd in Georgia, a flurry of activity surrounding the criminal investigation into the attempt to overturn that state's 2020 election results. Trump once called Allen Weisselberg a loyal employee and one of the toughest people in the ness. In New York, Trump Organization’s chief financial officer is going to Rikers prison, after pleading guilty to a tax fraud scheme. This week a federal judge in Florida suggesting that he may release portions of the affidavit used to seek an FBI search warrant for Mar-a-Lago, a criminal investigation the Justice Department says is quote, “open and in its early stages.” And in state after state, candidates endorsed by Trump for governor, for Senate and for other offices have prevailed in Republican primaries, they owe their nominations to Trump and their allegiance, too.īut as Trump tightens his grip on the party, the legal walls around him seem to be closing in. Liz Cheney’s decisive loss means at least 8 of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him will be gone in the next Congress. Liz Cheney, Trump's loudest and most persistent critic in the party and the number one target of his vengeance campaign, went down in a landslide primary defeat. If there were any lingering doubts about Donald Trump's hold on the Republican Party they were erased Tuesday night.
