  • Ex-congressman Most of the women have cooperated with the committee.

  • She said that women are assumed to clean up Trump's mess.

  • Some of Trump's former aides have publicly disagreed with him.

The men in former President Donald Trump's circle were questioned by a former Republican congressman.

Cleaning up Trump's mess is thought to be a women's job. She lost her seat in the Democratic wave.

In response to Attorney General Bill Barr saying there was no widespread election fraud, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Trump White House aide, testified that Trump threw his lunch against the wall. Trump denied that occurred.

A number of former aides to Trump have testified before or criticized the president. The former White House communications director, ex-White House press secretary, former deputy press secretary, and former Trump national security official all bond over how isolating it can be to criticize their former boss, according to a report.

It's a lonely space and I wanted to make sure that they knew that even though it feels lonely, they want to make you feel like there's no one left in the world.

She has gotten to know some of the people in the group. Some of Trump's more senior male aides were criticized by the Virginia Republican for not speaking with the committee. The former White House chief of staff was held in contempt for refusing to cooperate with the investigation.

The committee heard from Pat Cipollone in April. According to the New York Times, he was subpoenaed late last month. Liz Cheney repeatedly urged Cipollone to testify. Cipollone sat for a long interview.

"I've had women friends contact me to say they want to support these women because they are the kind of stand up women we'd all like to have as staff and hope we were." It can be lonely when you are standing up. She said that Cipollone had to be brought to testify after Cassidy.

A source close to Cipollone's attorney denied that the former White House counsel didn't cooperate with the investigation.

According to a source, Mr. Cipollone has complied with the committee which has recognized the serious institutional concerns and privilege issues with respect to his testimony.

The group's defiance has not been taken lightly. Cheney was moved by the actions of young women.

"Especially the young women, young women who seem instinctively to understand the peril of this moment for our democracy, and young women who know that it will be up to them to save it," Cheney said during a speech at the Ronald Reagan presidential library.

I have been moved by the young women that I have met and they will testify in the January 6th Committee. The young women who worked on the Trump campaign, the Trump White House, and the offices on Capitol Hill were all aware that what happened that day must never happen again.
