What did Liz Cheney say about Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon?

On October 20, 2021, Cheney made headlines after she blasted former Donald Trump ally, Steve Bannon, during a committee hearing on the January 2021, Capitol riots.

Bannon is known as the former White House's chief strategist, and has publicly been refusing to cooperate with the House committee's investigation because of his "executive privilege," despite being served with a subpoenas by the committee.

The night prior, Cheney blasted Bannon saying that not only is his privilege invalid, but Trump's refusal to cooperate insinuates that he was "personally involved" in the planning and execution of the riot.

Cheney said: "Mr Bannon's and Mr Trump's privilege arguments do appear to reveal one thing, however: they suggest that President Trump was personally involved in the planning and execution of January 6th.

"And we will get to the bottom of that."

Democratic Rep Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, another member of the January 6 committee, later expanded on Cheney's comments to CNN adding that he thinks the term "plan" is relative.

He told the media outlet: "There's no question he tweeted about it in the very beginning.

"The majority of the people in this country didn't know what January 6 was all about when he did it.

"He created the narrative up to the point. Planned the rally -- and obviously he said, you need to go to the Hill and let people know you don't like what's going on.

"So, people left the rally that he had invited them to and they came to the Hill.

"And the rest we saw in our own eyes."
