The committee investigating the storm has questioned more than 1,000 witnesses who have told of what happened behind the scenes when thousands of Trump supporters stormed the National Assembly to prevent Joe Biden from being named the next president of the United States.

Scott Applewhite / AP – Pence deserved what Cheney promised the committee would present video evidence and written testimonies to prove what Trump knew. She said a number of White House staffers in the White House have said that when Trump learned that congressional attackers were looking for Vice President Mike Pence, he said “perhaps Pence deserved it.” She also said that Trump’s advisers have said that the president was aware that he had lost the election, but that he still continued to spread allegations of electoral fraud. The then Minister of Justice William Barr Barr and several of Trump’s employees have said in a video interview that Trump was repeatedly warned that his allegations were untrue and unfounded. – I said it was pure fabrication, but he still continued, Barr said in a video clip that was shown. Cheney also said the hearing would show that Trump was trying to pressure employees and elected officials to change the election result. “Trump’s lawyers and legal advisers knew it was wrong, but they continued to spread the allegations through a series of lawsuits, and led many to believe them,” Cheney said.

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.

He calls the storming of the congress building “the biggest movement” in the country’s history. “January 6 was not just a protest, it represented the largest movement in our country to make America great again,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform. – It was about an election that was arranged and stolen, and a country that was about to go to hell, he continued.
