Former Rep. and 1/6 Committee member Liz Cheney blew away Trump’s claim that the committee sabotaged him by destroying evidence.

Trump claimed that the 1/6 Committee destroyed evidence during their investigation to sabotage him.
Cheney tweeted in response to Trump:

Cheney was correct. Donald Trump was lying, or maybe a better way to put it is ignoring the facts in favor of a conspiracy theory. In all of the months since Trump was first criminally charged, the former president has not offered an explanation or physical evidence to support the legality of his behavior as he led an insurrection and tried to illegally stay in power by overturning a presidential election that he lost.

Trump’s entire defense can be summed up as claiming that he has immunity, or that he had the power to do what he did, or that the prosecutions against him are a vast conspiracy. Trump’s immunity claims are currently being litigated. However, previous courts have found that Trump lacked the authority and immunity to overturn an election.

The facts are the facts, and since Donald Trump can’t win on the facts, he is trying to sell right-wing conspiracy politics.
