Liz Cheney (R-WY) is denying that she leaked audio to the New York Times of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) saying that he was considering telling former President Donald Trump to resign.<\/p>\n<p>A Cheney spokesman told The Daily Wire on Friday morning that Cheney neither recorded nor leaked the tape of McCarthy and does not know how reporters obtained it, noting that the committee investigating the Capitol Riot has unsuccessfully asked McCarthy to discuss the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/04\/21\/us\/politics\/trump-mitch-mcconnell-kevin-mccarthy.html\">first reported Thursday morning<\/a>\u00a0that McCarthy had contemplated calling on the president to resign, prompting McCarthy\u2019s office to issue a flat denial of the story. But MSNBC\u2019s Rachel Maddow aired an audio recording Thursday evening which cast doubt on the House minority leader\u2019s claim.<\/p>\n<p>The news prompted Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to accuse Cheney of recording McCarthy \u201cfor the New York Times\u201d on Friday morning, warning McCarthy, \u201cYou should have trusted my instincts, not your own.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">While I was rallying in Wyoming against Liz Cheney\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Kevin McCarthy was defending Liz Cheney among House Republicans\u2026<\/p>\n<p>While Liz Cheney was secretly recording Kevin McCarthy for the New York Times. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GOPLeader<\/a> \u2013 you should have trusted my instincts, not your own. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/teTxIvUAUt\">pic.twitter.com\/teTxIvUAUt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattgaetz\/status\/1517466701402718208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhile I was rallying in Wyoming against Liz Cheney\u2026Kevin McCarthy was defending Liz Cheney among House Republicans,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cWhile Liz Cheney was secretly recording Kevin McCarthy for the New York Times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy gut tells me no,\u201d McCarthy reportedly said during a private call with Republicans, responding to a question from Cheney about whether Trump would resign,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/rachel-maddow\/watch\/audio-contradicts-mccarthy-s-denial-that-he-said-he-would-recommend-that-trump-resign-138276933865?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma\">according to audio aired on MSNBC<\/a>. \u201cI am seriously thinking about having that conversation with him tonight. I haven\u2019t talked to him in a couple days. From what I know of him, I mean you guys all know him, too, do you think he\u2019d ever back away?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know it\u2019ll pass the House, I think there\u2019s a chance it\u2019ll pass the senate even when he\u2019s gone. And I think there\u2019s a lot of different ramifications for that. \u2026 The only discussion I would have with him is I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation that he should resign,\u201d he continued, referring to the impeachment resolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat would be my take, but I don\u2019t think he would take it,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cBut I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cheney was the number three House Republican leader at the time, though she is now an outspoken opponent of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>Before the audio was released, a McCarthy spokesperson told The New York Times that \u201cMcCarthy never said he\u2019d call Trump to say he should resign.\u201d McCarthy had also released his own statement calling the Times\u2019 reporting \u201ctotally false and wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt comes as no surprise that the corporate media is obsessed with doing everything it can to further a liberal agenda,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cThis promotional book tour is no different. If the reporters were interested in truth why would they ask for comment after the book was printed?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
