Liz Cheney suggests Donald Trump could face 'more than one' criminal referral

Not confronting former president would pose a 'much graver constitutional threat'

Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney has suggested that former president Donald Trump could face “more than one” criminal referral for his actions following his defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 election and during the January 6, 2021 insurrection.

Ms Cheney, 55, has gained prominence on the national stage and notoriety within her Republican Party after speaking out against Mr Trump's refusal to accept to his loss and his lies about election fraud.

She is vice chairwoman and one of two Republicans on the House of Representatives committee investigating the deadly insurrection, and was one of 10 Republicans in the House who voted to impeach the former president for inciting the attack.

In comments broadcast on Sunday, Ms Cheney told ABC News that the panel could make a recommendation to the Justice Department that Mr Trump should be criminally prosecuted — although she noted that the department did not need to wait for such a move.

“The department doesn't have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral. And there could be more than one criminal referral,” Ms Cheney told ABC News.

She acknowledged that a criminal prosecution would be fraught in divided America, particularly as the Justice Department is overseen by the Biden White House.

But not taking on a case against Mr Trump could pose a “much graver constitutional threat”, she said.

“If a president can engage in these kinds of activities and the majority of the president's party looks away, or we as a country decide we're not actually going to take our constitutional obligations seriously, I think that's a much a much more serious threat.”

She pointed to committee testimony that showed Mr Trump knew some of the January 6 demonstrators were armed, but egged them on to march on the Capitol.

Mr Trump has dismissed the committee's findings as partisan theatre.

Ms Cheney of Wyoming, daughter of Dick Cheney, also refused to rule out her own run for the presidency in 2024.

“I'll make a decision about '24 down the road,” she said in the interview with ABC talk show This Week.

“The single most important thing is protecting the nation from Donald Trump.”

But Ms Cheney is fighting for her political life in Wyoming, where a Trump-backed rival is challenging her in the state's Republican primary, to be held next month before November's midterm elections.

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
Three tips from La Perle's performers

1 The kind of water athletes drink is important. Gwilym Hooson, a 28-year-old British performer who is currently recovering from knee surgery, found that out when the company was still in Studio City, training for 12 hours a day. “The physio team was like: ‘Why is everyone getting cramps?’ And then they realised we had to add salt and sugar to the water,” he says.

2 A little chocolate is a good thing. “It’s emergency energy,” says Craig Paul Smith, La Perle’s head coach and former Cirque du Soleil performer, gesturing to an almost-empty open box of mini chocolate bars on his desk backstage.

3 Take chances, says Young, who has worked all over the world, including most recently at Dragone’s show in China. “Every time we go out of our comfort zone, we learn a lot about ourselves,” she says.

Tips for job-seekers
  • Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
  • Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.

Water waste

In the UAE’s arid climate, small shrubs, bushes and flower beds usually require about six litres of water per square metre, daily. That increases to 12 litres per square metre a day for small trees, and 300 litres for palm trees.

Horticulturists suggest the best time for watering is before 8am or after 6pm, when water won't be dried up by the sun.

A global report published by the Water Resources Institute in August, ranked the UAE 10th out of 164 nations where water supplies are most stretched.

The Emirates is the world’s third largest per capita water consumer after the US and Canada.
