Trump news – live: Trump ally slammed for cancer remark as Cheney rebukes fellow Republicans for election lies
Donald Trump ally Laura Loomer has provoked outrage over comments in which she described Casey DeSantis’s battle with cancer as “over-exaggerated”. Ms Loomer, a far-right anti-Muslim activist who twice ran unsuccessfully for Congress and was in 2018 banned from Twitter for “hateful conduct”, said Florida governor Ron DeSantis exaggerated his wife’s battle with cancer in a desperate attempt to woo voters. The Trump loyalist called for the release of Ms DeSantis’s medical records to prove she is not being exploited as a campaign prop for her husband’s political ambitions. Meanwhile, over the holiday weekend, Trump foe and former Republican Rep Liz Cheney spoke about the political test she faced in the immediate aftermath of January 6 during her address to graduates of Colorado College. “After the 2020 election and the attack of January 6th, my fellow Republicans wanted me to lie. They wanted me to say the 2020 election was stolen, the attack of January 6th wasn’t a big deal, and Donald Trump wasn’t dangerous,” she told students and families in her address Sunday, according to the Associated Press. “I had to choose between lying and losing my position in House leadership.” Read More Biden laughs off idea of Trump pardon after DeSantis pledges to consider it Trump has been indicted: Here are the other major lawsuits and investigations he is also facing Liz Cheney explains how GOP begged her to lie about Trump
