that found Trump does not have the right to block the committee from accessing certain White House records as part of its investigation into the Capitol attack. The ruling granted the committee access to internal memos, communication logs, and calendars to help determine whether the administration was involved in provoking the riot as part of a plot to prevent the peaceful transfer of power to President Joe Biden.
Of the documents, Thompson said, they are “so significant to our investigation.” Because there are so many papers to review, however, Thompson indicated the committee will not hold hearings until the spring. “To be honest with you, as you know, we are reviewing thousands of pages of documents, hundreds of witnesses. It’s taken a good bit of time for the committee to put together. And hearings at this point, we expect to be sometime in the spring,” he said.
that the president’s daughter pleaded with him during the attack “at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence.” In the spring, once the committee has gathered evidence, it will make its case to the American people. “I can assure you, as we develop this information, we will clearly present it to the public,” Thompson said. “We plan at this point to have a series of public hearings showing the use of federal assets, Department of Justice, Department of Defense and other agencies to actually stop the duly election of a president. So, we’ll do it in due time.
