The revelation that the House January 6 committee notified the Department of Justice of an alleged attempt by former President Donald Trump to contact a witness is the latest product of the panel's probe to involve law enforcement.
The detail, presented by Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, was perhaps the most unexpected moment of the hearing Tuesday. And for the second time, the committee's public hearings raise the possibility of a witness tampering investigation, in a swift move to bring in the Justice Department even before the committee's investigation concludes.

Cheney: Trump tried to contact Jan. 6 panel witness
Really wish he took and recorded that call….
But they didn’t so it means absolutely nothing.
@wrinkleface bwhahahaha! nope! you can’t tell me what to do KAREN!!!
I would have liked it better if the witness took the call, recorded it, and turned the recording over to the committee and/or DoJ.
@PowerLocal Media it’s not a trial, yet
@Ne Ale Sorry, but I’m not that one here saying its not evidence.
Pat Cippolone to Overstock “guy” (CEO). “Who are you?” Outstanding!🤣
@Amelinda TOEIC all of the words and just add a URL to the video so you figured out that I was captioning your comment to flag your video with my bot lol I’ll just make an adjustment to my bought to look for just your Channel you don’t follow the link see if it goes to your channel and then just start recording and commenting same person using his backhanded method to get SEO for his videos
That was a class line from those meetings. “Who are you?” That will be brilliant in a film or mini series on this whole Donny time after the election to the 2!st January on what he was at!
Imagine being known as the Overstock Guy.I mean,most overstock is unwanted and is marked down to get rid of.But,most of the people in Trump’s orbit tend to be bargain basement ones or damaged goods.
How many perfect phone calls are allowed in one’s lifetime ??
@UberLummox Well that’s great for book sales. I couldn’t care less.
If people want to forget history, then let them.
Book burning has been going on for centuries however the scale isn’t the same.
Almost all books are on the internet so nothing is just forgotten.
Yes… any talking head that spouts biased BS isn’t worth my time.
@jennti You think of Beau as biased BS?
The sales of the books isn’t the point. It the people choosing to read them, like the very same students who the books were takkken away from.
I guess some think if someone doesn’t fit their narrative, they’re a talking head.
@UberLummox You’re proving my point nicely by pushing your narrative. I’m not interested in your or his biased opinion.
Solid effort though.
@jennti You really might wanna rethink that. Just my o’pinion. I really don’t recall you making a point exactly, but very glad you’re at least watching though. Keep curious. Take’r easy!
Yes they know the individuals name. Wolf asking him three or four times isn’t going to get him to change his answer.
Relax people. He was on the call from frikkin Jerusalem for fuk sakes.
@Ryan Rickaby the point he was making in this specific video is the name of the person Trump called doesn’t matter. The message he was pushing is that they won’t stand for that behavior. Wolf was focused on the name and he was focused on getting that message out. Now I feel like a clown having to break that down.
@Ryan Rickaby i she that he misspoke. I clearly she that.
@G. Scott Askue You definitely on something
Then…what’s their name?
18 U.S. Code § 1512 – Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant

(A)withhold testimony, or withhold a record, document, or other object, from an official proceeding;

(D)be absent from an official proceeding to which such person has been summoned by legal process; or

@Light Worker you know what he tried.
@Steve Thomas there is help available to get out of cults
Witness tampering is common for Trump, even in his business days. Either directly or indirectly.
@Keeping Healthy You honestly thought that was an actual thing
@Count Choculitis “I’ll take things ghetto vampire is having a tantrum about Trump doing, but was okay when Obama did it for $10,000 Alex”
Not only did I OWN you, but I upped it to 10,000 just to one up you there too.
@Jay Italia NOT YOUR TEAM, MY TEAM!
You can only call one a witness, in the court of law, only if that person can be cross examined.
That committee hearing witness will probably become a criminal court witness. Same person, different set of rich people talking to him or her.
If I were that witness, I’d take the call and record it, then play it at the hearing.
@It’s Above Me Now Where’s your proof?
And you know…this whole charade really falls apart with one very simple fact….there was no insurrection.
@Jay Italia I’d LOVE to know what you’re smoking, that some high quality next level denialism. Maybe you should look up the word “fact” in a dictionary.
@Jay Italia this is where you start playing your semantics game again, right? Call it a tourist trip for the kids if you want. We have Bannon on audio with the smoking gun. We know this “whatchamacallit” was planned.
I wouldn’t have answered the phone either. Who really wants to walk into being bullied?
Is there a way to Record the Phone Conversation like Rothenberger did???
I would have answered and recorded the call to further expose his crimes.
Maybe it was the same person who keeps telling ppl that they’re car warranty is about to expire.
Kaitlan Collins is fine gorgeous 😍
Oh and Rudy ” We have alot of theories. We just don’t have the evidence ” Giuliani
Trump: “I just wanted to wish them good luck on staying alive!”
@Mike Mondano Also who might these enemies be? Name a few names.
@Jay Italia Someone’s actually coming in testifying in his defense??? And who would that be?
😂😂😂😂😂
@Mike Mondano right
“So you know who the person is.” How many times does he have to come off as a dork asking the same thing over and over. Wolf is a joke,
1 G. Scott Askue Fuk what you saying it here 😠 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zrfSK6pnpQ
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 😠
5:25 Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😠😠
Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖
los mortales abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer
You seem easy to convince. Are you interested in investing in a timeshare opportunity?
I love all this snowflake whining about Cheney saying these things without being challenged. Maybe if McCarthy hadn’t taken his toys and stomped off because they wouldn’t let a January 6th enabler onto the committee, there would have been other voices on that committee. Maybe all of this inflammatory and persuasive testimony would have never seen that light of a camera. Thank you McCarthy, your tantrum partially contributed to the success of these hearings. May you have the life you deserve.
Who is this mysterious witness? And why did Raskin announce that next week’s hearing will be “a profound moment of reckoning…” for America……and in PRIME TIME! Well, they certainly know how to build an audience!!
“‘I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse……..”
Don Corleone
Sometimes i just pause to reflect how nuts it is that Liz Cheney is the backbone for American democracy. Shes like Darth Vader’s daughter, if he had a girl version…of Darth Vader, yet shes the hero. Thank god for Liz Cheney, weird as that sounds.
Sounds like this witness is very savvy when it comes to the law and their own legal liability…Just sayin’
How about the threads send to Rep Adam Kinzinger and his family?. It seems that nothing the authority can do about such threads?? What kind of democracy is in this country?? Rule of law seems to be disfunction!!
Tried? how many did he contact already. All the cowards claiming the 5th, or ignored subpoenas. But then they will never tell, will they.
