CBSN
Washington — Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, indicated Sunday that the panel has not closed the door to former President Donald Trump testifying on live television, but stressed the former president would not turn his appearance into a "circus" or "food fight."
In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," Cheney was asked whether the committee was open to Trump's suggestion, reported by the New York Times, that he testify before House investigators live in response to a subpoena for his testimony and documents issued by the panel Friday.
"The committee treats this matter with great seriousness, and we are going to proceed in terms of the questioning of the former president under oath," Cheney said. "It may take multiple days, and it will be done with a level of rigor and discipline and seriousness that it deserves."
