along with others they claim helped orchestrate an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Raskin said that others were also involved, but the committee was unable to fully discern their role as they declined to testify. “We trust that the Department of Justice will be able to make a more complete picture,” Raskin said. That included excerpts of testimony from Hope Hicks, the longtime adviser to Donald Trump, who said that as the then-president pursued his claims of election fraud, she was “becoming increasingly concerned that we were damaging his legacy.”
“Hey. I know you’re seeing this. But he really should tweet something about Being NON-violent,” Gidley said.The committee also presented a claim that one witness was offered a job by Trump’s team in an effort to impact their testimony.The January 6th Committee met for its final official public proceeding on Monday, one expected to include a vote on a criminal referral to the Justice Department of charges against former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Liz Cheney , the committee’s vice chair, said that among the “most shameful” of findings was that Trump declined and even refused to act for hours as the Capitol was being invaded, and instead sat in the Oval Office dining room and watched the events unfold. She called it a clear dereliction of duty.” She called Trump, now running for president again, “unfit for any office.”
NBC News reported earlier on Monday that the committee planned to ask the Justice Department to pursue at least three criminal charges against Trump, including obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the government and inciting or assisting an insurrection. In the weeks after the attack on the Capitol, Trump was impeached for a second time by the House, but he was ultimately acquitted after a Senate trial.
