A report from **House Democrats** counters GOP accusations claiming **Liz Cheney** acted inappropriately regarding her communication with **Cassidy Hutchinson**, labeling the GOP's report as **defamation**.
The **Democrats' report** comes in light of House Administration subcommittee Chair **Barry Loudermilk's** call for an **FBI investigation** into Cheney for alleged witness tampering.
Democrats highlight evidence, including Hutchinson's prior testimony and her attorney's letter, which indicate she terminated her former legal representation before contacting Cheney.
Cheney's actions are defended as ethical and professional, emphasizing she advised Hutchinson to seek new legal counsel before her additional testimony, despite ongoing pressures from GOP officials.
Loudermilk's claims are described by Democrats as **"maliciously false"**, asserting protections under the **Speech and Debate Clause**, which may shield both Cheney and Loudermilk from legal retaliation.
