Former President Donald Trump issued a July 4th message via his social media platform TruthSocial in which he went ALL CAPS and hit out at January 6th committee member, Rep. Liz Cheney, Mediaite reports.

Opening with “despicable human being Liz Cheney,” the 45th president quickly revealed why he is so upset, adding that the Wyoming Republican “keeps saying” that “HER Fake Unselect Committee may recommend CRIMINAL CHARGES against a President of the United States who got more votes than any sitting President in history.” Trump wrote:

Warmongering and despicable human being Liz Cheney, who is hated by the great people of Wyoming (down 35!), keeps saying, over and over again, that HER Fake Unselect Committee may recommend CRIMINAL CHARGES against a President of the United States who got more votes than any sitting President in history. Even the Dems didn’t know what she was talking about! Why doesn’t she press charges instead against those that cheated on the Election, or those that didn’t properly protect the Capitol?…..

According to the Associated Press, Cheney believes criminal referrals to the Department of Justice could soon follow. Hope Yen writes:

The committee has been intensifying its yearlong investigation into the Jan. 6 attack and Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The next hearings will aim to show how Trump illegally directed a violent mob toward the Capitol on Jan. 6 and then failed to take quick action to stop the attack once it began. Over the weekend, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the committee’s vice chair, made clear that criminal referrals to the Justice Department, including against the Republican former president, could follow.
