The House committee’s final report on January 6 accuses Donald Trump of a criminal “multi-party conspiracy” to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, and he did nothing to prevent his supporters from looting the Capitol. from USA
Panel members released their 845-page report Thursday night after interviewing more than 1,000 witnesses.
“The central cause on January 6 was one man, former President Donald Trump, who was followed by many others,” the report read. ‘None of the events of January 6 would have happened without him.’
Earlier this week they referred four criminal charges to the Justice Department, charging the former president with insurrection, conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of an act of Congress.
The attack on the Capitol came after President Donald Trump made repeated false accusations that the 2020 election was stolen from him and after he delivered a fiery speech on January 6, 2021, at the Ellipse behind the White House.
The January 6 committee interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses, held 10 hearings and obtained millions of pages of documents while investigating the deadly riots.
In a foreword, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi thanked the committee for its efforts.
“When the select committee concludes its work, its words should be a clarion call to all Americans: carefully protect our democracy and give our vote only to those who uphold our Constitution,” he said.
The committee kept up a trickle, trickle of tantalizing details throughout the week.
After laying out his charges on Monday, he issued more than 40 witness statements on Wednesday and Thursday. They showed that more than 20 witnesses had invoked their Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate themselves.
One of the explosive revelations was that the key witness, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, told investigators that she felt pressure from the Trump circle to remain silent.
According to his testimony, a former Trump White House ethics lawyer told him that “the less you remember, the better.”
Stefan Passantino apparently told her that there was no crime in having memory problems.
“I don’t want you to commit perjury, but ‘I don’t remember’ is not perjury,” he allegedly said. They don’t know what you can and can’t remember.
Cassidy Hutchinson was a top aide to former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows at the time of the January 6 Capitol riot, and turned out to be a key witness in the investigation.
