Liz Cheney spars with GOP challengers over 2020 election, Jan. 6 attack in first debate
CBSN
Republican Rep. Liz Cheney was able to find common ground with her four challengers for Wyoming's lone congressional seat on issues including voting against the bipartisan infrastructure bill, supporting America's energy systems and reprimanding the Biden administration during their first debate Thursday night.
But when it came to topics such as the Jan. 6 committee's findings and the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election, she found herself an outlier. And Cheney's belief that the 2020 election was not stolen could cost her her seat.
Throughout the debate, Cheney, the vice chair on the Jan. 6 select committee, cited recent findings from the committee's hearings and testimony from former President Donald Trump's family and staffers that "there was not sufficient fraud to overturn the results of the 2020 election." She added that it is a "tragedy" that Trump and other Republicans wrongly claimed it was stolen.
A cybercriminal group claims it stole personal data belonging to more than 500 million Ticketmaster customers. Although the event ticketing service, owned by Live Nation Entertainment, hasn't confirmed the attack, security experts warn that it could put users of the platform at risk for a range of scams.
Two climbers were waiting to be rescued near the peak of Denali, a colossal mountain that towers over miles of vast tundra in southern Alaska, officials said Wednesday. Originally part of a three-person team that became stranded near the top of the mountain, the climbers put out a distress call more than 30 hours earlier suggesting they were hypothermic and unable to descend on their own, according to the National Park Service.
