Cheney said the panel's substantial efforts have already garnered important findings regarding Trump's actions that day.

"The committee has firsthand testimony now that was sitting in the dining room next to the Oval Office watching the attack on television," she said.

She went on to add, "We have firsthand testimony that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence."

"He could have told them to stand down. He could have told them to go home – and he failed to do so," Cheney continued. "It's hard to imagine a more significant and more serious dereliction of duty than that."

"Is his failure to make that statement criminal negligence?" Stephanopoulos asked.

Cheney replied that there are several "potential criminal statutes at issue here."

"But I think that there's absolutely no question that it was a dereliction of duty, and I think one of the things the committee needs to look at is we're looking at a legislative purpose is whether we need enhanced penalties for that kind of dereliction of duty," she said.
