George Conway said Sunday that the House select committee investigating last year's U.S. Capitol riot doesn't need any new bombshells to prove their case.
Congress has spent months investigating the events surrounding the violent January 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol riot, when a group of Trump supporters broke into the federal legislative building in an attempt to block the certification of the electoral college count motivated by unfounded claims that Trump only lost the 2020 presidential election todue to widespread voter fraud. The House select committee investigating the riot plans to televise its hearings this week.
Conway, a Republican who has emerged as a vocal Trump critic, explained how the committee can successfully make their case that Trump incited the violence during a panel on CNN'sHe said the committee does not need"any new bombshells" to successfully make their case in response to a clip showing Representative Jaime Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, saying the goal of the panel is to strengthen democracy, not to see Trump go to jail.
George Conway said former President Donald Trump engaged in a multi-faceted “criminal conspiracy” to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Responding to the clip of Raskin, he pushed back against the claim the committee should not necessarily aim for the criminal prosecution of Trump because he believes Trump engaged in a"criminal conspiracy" to try the thwart the peaceful transition of power. "This was an attempted coup. This was an attempt to overthrow democracy. It was an attempt to stop, dead in its tracks on January 6, the peaceful transition of power. And that is a coup," Conway said."It was a criminal conspiracy—a multi-faceted criminal conspiracy led by the president of the United States to stop by whatever means necessary the proper counting of the electoral votes.
