Biden Awards Presidential Citizens Medals to Jan. 6 Panel Leaders Including Liz Cheney

In a significant move, President Biden is set to honor Liz Cheney and 19 others with the Presidential Citizens Medal, the second highest civilian award in the United States. This award recognizes their leadership and service during the investigation of the January 6 congressional panel. Cheney, a notable critic of former President Trump, is being specifically acknowledged for her role in the inquiry into the events surrounding the Capitol riot. This latest action by Biden further illustrates the ongoing political tensions as he publicly reinforces support for those who stood against actions deemed undemocratic.
