Former US president Donald Trump incited the January 6 Capitol attack and was central to a sweeping and methodical conspiracy to overturn the 2020 US election despite the advice of his top aides and family members, a year-long investigation has found.
Republican Liz Cheney gives her opening remarks as Democrat Bennie Thompson, left, and Republican Adam Kinzinger look on, at the first public hearing of the House select committee investigating the US Capitol.After 11 months of investigative work, on Thursday evening Washington time, the committee opened its landmark series of public hearings with fresh revelations, harrowing new video footage and damning testimony to make their case that the attack was not a “spontaneous riot.
Barr’s views were backed up by Trump’s favourite child Ivanka, who served as the president’s special adviser. The committee also played a video montage of the riot itself, highlighting some of its most dramatic moments - including the key role of right-wing militia group the Proud Boys, whose leader Enrique Tarrio has since been charged for his role in the attack.
