Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has accused President Donald Trump of lying about Jan. 6 during his speech at the Capitol’s rotunda.
Cheney’s fiery reaction came just hours after she received a controversial preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden just hours before he left office.
The blanket pardon shields Cheney from unspecified crimes she has yet to be charged with.
Cheney’s congressional career crashed and burned when she abandoned her party and constituents to join the Democrats’ anti-Trump January 6 Committee.
The committee withheld evidence and promoted false claims in order to frame Trump for leading an “insurrection” to prevent him from running for re-election.
Trump highlighted the Jan. 6 saga during his post-inauguration speech and accused his opponents of conspiring against him.
During his inaugural address, Trump addressed the chaos surrounding January 6, 2021.
The president called out former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for allegedly rejecting his offer to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops in advance of the day’s events.
“Think of it, 10,000 soldiers,” Trump said.
“In other words, J6 wouldn’t be J6.
“There would have been no J6.”
Trump is pointing the finger at Pelosi for what he suggested was a deliberate failure.
He went further, alleging the January 6 Committee, spearheaded by Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), “destroyed all evidence” related to the Capitol protests.
“Maybe she [Pelosi] wanted that to happen,” Trump speculated.
“But she’s guilty as hell. And now we have to go through the process because they destroyed all evidence.”

Trump’s claims echo footage showing Pelosi taking responsibility for the lack of preparedness.
In the footage, Pelosi admitted, “We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have.”
🚨 Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent 3+ years and nearly $20 million creating a narrative to blame Donald Trump.

She also acknowledged the absence of the National Guard, saying, “I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”
Cheney responded by accusing Trump of perpetuating falsehoods while deflecting from her own accountability, as reported by Breitbart.
In a post on X, Cheney blasted:
“Trump’s remarks in the Capitol Visitor Center today were a reminder that neither lies nor the liar who tells them get better with age.”
She doubled down, claiming:
“The Select Committee evidence is available on multiple websites, and as a criminal defendant, Donald Trump has had access to all the transcripts for years.
“Remember Trump’s character: He sat in his dining room watching on television as his supporters attacked our Capitol and brutally assaulted law enforcement.
“For hours, he refused to instruct the mob to leave.
“The truth will never change.”

Cheney’s fiery rhetoric seemed to ignore the unresolved questions about Pelosi’s admissions of unpreparedness and the Jan. 6 Committee’s handling of evidence.
However, many noted the convenient timing of Cheney’s attacks, given Biden’s parting gift of a preemptive pardon for the “innocent” former congresswoman, raising eyebrows across the political spectrum.
Trump’s comments—and Cheney’s retort—set the stage for a contentious term ahead.
Fresh questions are now swirling around the integrity of investigations, accountability, and political maneuvering.
While Cheney basks in Biden’s favor, Trump signals he’s ready for a fight, armed with pointed accusations and promises to expose what he sees as glaring truths.
