Liz Cheney, is soliciting campaign contributions from those subpoenaed by the witch hunt probe. <\/p>\n<p>Megan Small, who was director of operations for the Trump campaign and was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 Committee in September, published a Cheney campaign mailer on Twitter Monday requesting donations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey [Liz Cheney], is it standard operating procedure on the Jan. 6 committee to ask subpoenaed witnesses for campaign contributions?\u201d Small wrote.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Small told The Federalist she received the mailer at her Florida address on May 21, calling the letter \u201cunsavory at best\u201d given the committee\u2019s threats to refer those subpoenaed for criminal prosecution by the Department of Justice (DOJ).<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Cheney] has threatened to make criminal referrals to DOJ of those witnesses,\u201d Small said. \u201cSo arguably the campaign contributions is being solicited not just from a witness, but from someone who may or may not be, at her discretion, referred to DOJ for criminal prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump\u2019s trade adviser Peter Navarro is the first among the more than 100 witnesses subpoenaed to face a DOJ <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/03\/trump-trade-adviser-peter-navarro-indicted-on-contempt-of-congress-charges-from-jan-6-witch-hunt-probe\/\">indictment<\/a> unsealed Friday. In April, the House of Representatives voted to hold Navarro in contempt of Congress for refusal to testify and turn over documents Navarro argues are protected by executive privilege. The House has also voted to hold a trio of other former Trump officials in contempt, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Dan Scavino, and former adviser Steve Bannon. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/06\/03\/us\/politics\/peter-navarro-contempt-jan-6.html\">According<\/a> to The New York Times, the DOJ has no plans to charge Meadows and Scavino, both of whom have similarly argued that compelled cooperation with the Jan. 6 Committee would violate executive privilege.<\/p>\n<p>Small told The Federalist she spoke with the committee earlier this year. <\/p>\n<p>Cheney\u2019s mailer sent to out-of-state residents comes as the three-term incumbent already possesses a major cash advantage in a competitive primary this summer. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fec.gov\/data\/committee\/C00607556\/\">According<\/a> to the latest data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Cheney still has more than $6.7 million in cash on hand of more than $10 million raised with less than three months left in the race. A <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/04\/20\/liz-cheney-rakes-in-more-money-from-northern-virginia-than-from-her-home-state-wyoming\/\">Federalist analysis<\/a> revealed a vast majority of her donations came from her true constituents in Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia rather than residents of Wyoming. Thousands have come from the same blue-dollar donors who <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/12\/14\/lincoln-project-donors-are-bankrolling-liz-cheney\/\">bankrolled the Lincoln Project<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Cheney\u2019s Trump-endorsed primary challenger attorney Harriet Hageman, on the other hand, has just more than $1 million left in cash on hand out of more than $2 million raised, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fec.gov\/data\/candidate\/H2WY00166\/\">according <\/a>to the FEC. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
