almost 3 years in news
Republican House leader Liz Cheney has been ejected from her high-profile GOP position over criticism of former president Donald Trump.
House Republicans voted to remove Ms Cheney saying her actions distracted from efforts to unite against Democrats.
As the third ranking house Republican, Liz Cheney was once seen as a potential future presidential nominee, but lost influence after pushing back against some of Mr trump’s claims.
The Wyoming Republican and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney is among the few members of the GOP to vote for the second impeachment of then President Donald Trump.
She also criticised Mr Trump on the role he played ahead of the siege on the US Capitol Hill building and his claims President Joe Biden stole the 2020 election.
