Capitol Police Officer Pfc. Harry Dunn embraces Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards after her harrowing testimony about what she experienced during the Capitol attack.
In a nearly two-hour hearing in prime time, the House select committee placed Trump at the center of an"attempted coup" and"multistep conspiracy aimed at overturning the presidential election," with the panel's chairs emphasizing how Trump and his allies repeatedly tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said the 11-month-long investigation with more than 1,000 interviews revealed that Trump was"well aware" of the violence at the Capitol and security risk to Vice President Mike Pence and lawmakers but chose to do nothing. "I can just remember my -- my breath catching in my throat, because I -- what I saw was just -- a war scene," she said."It was something like I had seen out of the movies.
"I was catching people as they fell ... It was carnage. It was chaos. I can't even describe what I saw," she added."Never in my wildest dreams did I think as as a police officer, as a law enforcement officer, I would find myself in the middle of a battle."Email this article
