Cheney said former President Donald Trump is accelerating his attacks on the Constitution.
Cheney and Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger were the only GOP representative to vote in favor of the committee.
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., one of only a handful of GOP lawmakers openly critical of former president Donald Trump, slammed leaders of her party Wednesday ahead of a vote in the House of Representatives to establish a bipartisan committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol building.

Senators, however, lamented the belated submission to the legislative department, saying they were not given the chance to review and act on the proposal as provided by law.
Under the Republic Act No. 8178, or the Agricultural Tariffication Act, the President, “in case of shortages or abnormal price increases in agricultural products”, may propose to Congress revisions, modifications or adjustments of the MAV, “provided, however, that in the event Congress fails to act within 15 days from receipt of the proposal, the same shall be deemed approved.”
During the Senate Committee of the Whole’s inquiry on the country’s food crisis due to the African swine fever (ASF), lawmakers noted that Duterte’s recommendation to raise the MAV for pork importation by 350,000 metric tons (MT) was only transmitted to the Senate on March 26, when Congress already adjourned sessions and went on a break.
