Cheney says Mike Johnson ‘knew’ Trump’s election fraud claims were false
SUMMARY
Disgraced former Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney has come out, slamming the Speaker of House Speaker Mike Johnson, claiming that he cannot be trusted to certify the 2024 election results. Cheney claims Johnson, who supported a Texas lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results, "knew that courts had specifically found that those claims were false" and that his actions in Congress were "unconstitutional." On NBC’s Meet the Press, she stated; “He knew they weren’t true,” asserting that he had received clear legal counsel regarding the validity of the claims. In response to Cheney's assertions, Johnson has maintained that he would "absolutely" certify the results of a fair and lawful election.
