President Biden is awarding the Presidential Citizens Medal to Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson for their leadership in the congressional investigation of the Capitol riot.
Biden emphasized that the honorees, including Cheney and Thompson, are recognized for their common decency and commitment to serving others, which makes the country better.
In the wake of the Capitol riot, Biden's previous honors went to those who defended the Capitol and safeguarded the voters' will in the 2020 election.
The House committee led by Cheney and Thompson concluded that Trump engaged in a conspiracy to overturn the election results and failed to act on the Capitol attack.
