One question going into the Jan. 6 hearings was what then-President Donald Trump and then-Vice President Mike Pence talked about in a phone call the morning of the Capitol attack. White House aides filled in some details. For more key moments.
“January 6th was the culmination of an attempted coup, a brazen attempt, as one rioter put it shortly after January 6th, to overthrow the government,” said Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democratic chairman of the panel. “The violence was no accident. It represents seeing Trump’s last stand, most desperate chance to halt the transfer of power.”Capitol police officer Caroline Edwards testifies about the brutal violence she saw.
At the second hearing, the panel showed a clip of Barr recalling how he told Trump to his face that the Justice Department had found no evidence of the widespread voter fraud that Trump was claiming. Barr said he thought Trump had become “detached from reality” if he really believed his own theories and said there was “never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were.”
Greg Jacob, the president’s lawyer, testified at the third hearing and said he had not known they were that close. Georgia election workers Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, also testified before the panel in the fourth hearing, describing constant threats after Trump and his allies spread false rumors that they introduced suitcases of illegal ballots and committed other acts of election fraud. The Justice Department debunked those claims.The two women said they had their lives upended by Trump’s false claims and his efforts to go after them personally.
“For the department to insert itself into the political process this way, I think would have had grave consequences for the country,” Donoghue testified. “It may very well have spiraled us into a constitutional crisis.”Former White House aid Cassidy Hutchinson recounts how she heard Trump demand that security be eased the morning of Jan. 6 even after learning that people attending his rally at the Ellipse were armed.
For the president to have visited the Capitol during Biden’s certification, and as his supporters descended on the building, would have been unprecedented.Associated Press reporter Mary Clare Jalonick explains the choatic showdown between Trump advisors that led to the former president's December 19, 2020 tweet claiming that January 6 would be a major event.
