"Trump Demands Jail Time for Cheney Amid Capitol Riot Investigation"

Donald Trump has called for Liz Cheney and other members of the congressional committee that investigated the January 6 Capitol attack to be jailed, renewing fears of potential persecution of political opponents if he were to be given another White House term. Cheney, who served as vice-chair of the committee, responded by stating that Trump is "afraid of the truth." Trump's comments come amid ongoing legal challenges, including charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The suggestions to target Cheney and others followed the release of a report by House Republicans that contradicts testimony about Trump's actions on January 6, and come as only two of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the attack remain in office.
