The Justice Department should not avoid prosecuting Donald Trump in relation to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack if a prosecution is warranted, Rep. Liz Cheney said in an interview with ABC News' 'This Week' co-anchor Jonathan Karl.

The Justice Department should not avoid prosecuting Donald Trump in relation to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack if a prosecution is warranted, Rep. Liz Cheney said in an interview with ABC News'"This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl.

"I really believe we have to make these decisions, as difficult as it is, apart from politics. We really have to think about these from the perspective of: What does it mean for the country?" she said.The Wyoming Republican told Karl she was"absolutely confident" in Cassidy Hutchinson's startling testimony last week during a surprise hearing by the House's Jan. 6 committee, which Cheney vice-chairs.

"The committee has significant evidence about a whole range of issues, including the president's intense anger," Cheney responded. Trump on Tuesday worked to dismiss and downplay Hutchinson's testimony, posting on social media that"I hardly know who this person ... is, other than I heard very negative things about her ."Speaking with Karl, Cheney said the House committee"is not going to stand by and watch her [Hutchinson's] character be assassinated by anonymous sources and by men who are claiming executive privilege.

"The goal of the hearings is to make sure that the American people understand what happened; to help inform legislation, legislative changes that we might need to make," she said."I think it's also the case that there's not a single thing that I have learned, as we have been involved in this investigation, that has made me less concerned."

"I think it's important, because I will be the best representative that people of Wyoming can have," Cheney said.
