The House committee investigating the riot that swept over the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, began presenting a case Thursday that Donald Trump knew he lost the 2020 presidential election but continued to falsely claim that it had been stolen from him while he worked to change the results.
Even as Democrats were emphasizing the gravity of the attack, Republicans were trying to delegitimize the hearings.
Even as Trump continued to tell his supporters that the election had been stolen from them, Attorney General William Barr and others were contradicting his claims. One of the biggest revelations from the first in a series of congressional hearings about the deadly Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots was video of former Attorney General William Barr, Ivanka Trump and others acknowledging that President Joe Biden’s election was legitimate.New video showed the violent attack on the Capitol, with rioters marching toward the building and then breaching metal barricades at Capitol.
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., delivered a scathing rebuke of former President Donald Trump on Thursday during a hearing held by a House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.The Proud Boys and Oath Keepers led the invasion of the Capitol after Trump in a tweet called on his supporters to head to Washington, D.C. for a protest, the committee says.
Thompson said Trump was at the center of a “sprawling, multi-step conspiracy aimed at overturning the presidential election.”
