A committee investigating the attack on the US Congress crossed the wall of Trump’s obstacles
The committee was able to cross the wall of Trump’s barriers and address the events inside the White House and the Trump family as they attacked the US Congress on January 6, 2021, while he refused to stop the mob, CNN reported on Monday. The assailant did not reach the congressional building.
New revelations by the two senior lawmakers of the Jan. 6 Incident Investigation Committee provide the clearest evidence of the violence that Trump instigated to advance his coup.
The role of Ivanka Trump
This was described as the worst attack on American democracy in modern history, CNN reported. One of the key witnesses to the investigation said that one of the key witnesses in the case, who testified, was Kate Klug, a national security adviser to former Trump aide Mike Pence, who was with Trump at the White House at the time of the riot.
Benny Thompson, chairman of the Jan. 6 committee and a Democrat from Mississippi, told CNN that the committee had significant evidence that the White House had been advised to do something at the same time as the Trump supporters’ revolt in front of the congressional building. .
Wyoming’s vice-president, Liz Cheney, told ABC News about the first-hand testimony that Ivanka Trump, Trump’s then-West Wing adviser, twice asked her to confront former US presidential supporters with officers. US Congressional police intervene.
Thousands of documents and interviews with more than 300 people
The Associated Press reports that members of the Congressional Investigation Committee will release their findings in the coming months amid efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to downplay the insurgency and dismiss accusations of inciting the insurgency.
The committee also faces the challenge of convincing the American people that their findings are fact-based and credible.
Their goal is to show the intensity of the uprising to Congress, as well as to make a clear connection between Trump’s attack and pressure on the states and Congress to overturn the 2020 election results and elect Joe Biden as President of the United States.
According to the report, the Committee to Investigate the Attack on Congress, known as the Jan. 6 Committee, is preparing to release evidence of the attack after six months of gathering thousands of documents and interviewing more than 300 people.
“Despite Trump’s continued efforts to hide the truth, the images are coming to light,” said Liz Cheney, a Wyoming MP and vice chair of the Jan. 6 committee and one of its two Republican members.
The committee is made up of nine members, including seven Democrats and two Republicans.
35,000 emails, messages and phone records of Trump’s relatives
The committee said Jan. 6 that it had collected more than 35,000 pages of evidence, including messages, emails and phone records from people close to Trump, that provide important evidence of an attack on Congress.
The committee hopes to reveal how the attack on Congress began, as well as the White House administration’s extensive efforts to cancel the 2020 election.
Investigating Trump’s activities at the same time as attacking Congress / trying to publish the investigation before November
The committee is also investigating Trump’s activities at the time of the attack. Congressional investigations are not criminal, and legislators cannot determine punishment. As the committee continues to work, Trump and his allies continue to spread allegations of electoral fraud, while seeking to establish like-minded officials at all levels of state and local government. .
Republicans could dissolve the inquiry if they win a majority in the November 2022 House of Representatives. The final report of the committee is expected to be published before this date.
On January 6, 2021, the US Congress was counting the votes of the Electoral College to approve the results of the November 3 presidential election. However, Trump supporters attacked Congress in large numbers and, after clashing with security forces, were able to enter the building and its various rooms.
