Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) acknowledged the possibility of a presidential run in 2024 in an interview with ABC News on Sunday, but said she hasn't "made a decision about that yet." Why it matters: If she chooses to run, Cheney would join a 2024 Republican field rapidly shaping up, dominated by former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence. What they're saying: "I'll make a decision about ’24 down the road," Cheney said. "I think about it less in terms of a decision about running for office, and more in terms of, you know, as an American – and as somebody who's in a position of public trust now, how do I make sure that I'm doing everything I can to do the right thing; to do what I know is right for the country, and, and to protect our Constitution," she added. The big picture: For the time being, Cheney said she remains focused on winning her upcoming Wyoming primary and her work on the Jan. 6 committee. "The single most important thing is protecting the nation from Donald Trump. And I think that that matters to us as Americans more than anything else, and that's why my work on the committee is so important," she said. Cheney argued that the Republican party "can't survive" if Trump is the Republican nominee in 2024. "Those of us who believe in Republican principles and ideals have a responsibility to try to lead the party back to what it can be, and to reject...so much of the toxin and the vitriol."

Cheney: Trump Tried To Contact Jan. 6 Committee Witness
1,953 views Jul 13, 2022 Ranking member Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said at the end of her closing statement that former President Trump attempted to call an upcoming witness following the June 28 hearing. According to Cheney, the witness declined to respond and the Justice Department has been informed. “We will take any efforts to influence witnesses' testimony very seriously," Cheney said.
WITNESS TAMPERING?
At the end of the hearing, Cheney revealed some new information: Trump had tried to call a future witness, and the committee had alerted the Justice Department about the call.
The witness did not take the call, according to Cheney. She did not identify the witness but said it was someone the public has not yet heard from.
The committee has previously said that people in Trump’s orbit have contacted witnesses in ways that could reflect or at least create the appearance of inappropriate influence.
