The U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack began its first of multiple hearings on Thursday during prime-time television viewing.
The committee is made up of seven Democrats and two Republicans.
Congresswoman Liz Cheney accused former President Donald Trump of creating a"sophisticated" plan to overturn the U.S. election and spread"false and fraudulent information" to convince large parts of the U.S. population to believe that he had won the election but was facing a fraudulent election system, when in fact that wasn't true, the panel stated.
Edwards was reportedly one of the first officers injured in the attack and Quested was embedded with the Proud Boys on the day of the attack. “President Trump summoned a violent mob,” said Rep. Cheney. “When a president fails to take the steps necessary to preserve our union, or worse, causes a constitutional crisis, we’re in a moment of maximum danger for our republic.”
