Liz Cheney says she hasn’t decided whether or not to run for president

The committee investigating the 6 January attack has confirmed that its next live in-person public hearing will take place next week with a focus on Mr Trump’s role in assembling the mob that would go on to attack the US Capitol.

The session is expected to pay particular attention to the role of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, two extremist groups whose leaders are facing charges including seditious conspiracy for their part in the attack.

Adam Kinzinger, one of only two Republicans on the 6 committee, has shared a compilation of threats and abuse phoned into his office by furious Trump supporters angry at his criticism of the former president.

Meanwhile, the Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury investigating former president Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory has issued subpoenas to South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, Rudy Giuliani, and several other attorneys who played roles in Mr Trump’s machinations, including the ploy of submitting fake slates of pro-Trump electors to the National Archives.
