Rep. Liz Cheney on Thursday appeared to confirm reports that associates of former Vice President Mike Pence have been cooperating with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill.

Cheney avoided a question about whether the committee would subpoena him but called him a “hero” and said she looked forward to his cooperation. Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the committee, said Tuesday he wants Pence to speak with the panel.
