"We're not finished yet," Representative Liz Cheney, one of two Republicans on the US House of Representatives' select committee, told CNN's "State of the Union." The committee has yet to decide whether to make a criminal referral concerning Trump's conduct to the US Justice Department, Cheney said, "but that's absolutely something we're looking at."
Cheney said the panel will look into the deletion of text messages by the Secret Service, adding that the agency had not shown the kind of cooperation that was expected.
