The House select committee investigating the deadly January 6 assault on the US Capitol in 2021 saidwas at the center of a sprawling conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election that culminated in an “attempted coup”.
Their presentation featured never-before-seen video from the attack by extremist supporters of Trump who stormed the US Capitol to try to stop Congress from certifying Biden’s win.the panel weaved footage of the violence together with live testimony and videotaped depositions from some of Trump’s closest allies and family members.
Members of the audience gasped when Cheney said that Trump, after being informed the mob was calling for his vice-president, Mike Pence, to be hanged, told aides that perhaps Pence “deserved” it. In another interview, Ivanka Trump said she “accepted” Barr’s determination that the presidential election had been fair.
The attack, which played out in real-time on national television, left more than 100 police officers injured, as they clashed with a pro-Trump mob. Nine people lost their livesincluding a woman who was fatally shot by a Capitol police officer as she attempted to breach the House chamber.
