The storm was seen by many as a crossroads in American politics. Behind the sensational scenes were largely furious supporters of Donald Trump, who wanted to prevent the election defeat of the former president from being approved. Five people died in the chaos. Several politicians called it a coup attempt. Dramatic images: Here they break the window and storm the Congress. Now the storm has been thoroughly investigated. Thus begins a new, televised consultation round in Washington. – I think the American people already know a lot. There have been many startling revelations. But there is a lot they have not seen, says Democrat Adam Schiff according to NTB. The committee of inquiry in the House of Representatives has, among other things, interviewed more than 1,000 people, including several of Donald Trump’s family members. The committee has also reviewed over 125,000 documents to find answers to what led to the storming of Congress. – By putting all the pieces together and looking at this together, I think the American people will better understand what happened on January 6 last year, and what threats we may face in the future, says one of the committee members, Elaine Luria. More charges and offenses The recent arrest of Ryan Kelley is not the first in connection with the storming in January last year. In addition to several political advisers, for example, the leader of the right-wing radical group Proud Boys was arrested earlier this year. This on suspicion that he had a role in the incident. Several of the group’s members have also been charged in connection with the storm. Video from inside: Here the protesters break past the security guards. According to the AP, more than 800 people across the United States have been charged in connection with the uprising. The committee has previously said that they have evidence that Trump and his staff were also involved in a conspiracy to prevent approval of the election results in the autumn of 2020. They believe that the former president was involved in spreading false information about the election, and that he pressured state officials to change the election result, according to NTB.
