The January 6th commission has provided new evidence about Trump's actions during the capitol insurrection, helping form a timeline of the day's events.
the House committee investigating the attack
On Jan. 6, after a fiery speech by Trump at the nearby ellipse, columns of Oath Keepers – wearing helmets, paramilitary vests and military-style insignia – marched through the mob of protesters and up the Capitol steps in two consecutive military-style “stack formations.” Some reportedly later went looking for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Pence.
The 1 p.m. ET hearing will also focus on whether anyone in the Trump White House engaged in a seditious conspiracy with leaders of the two groups to overturn the election results by storming the Capitol. Two Democratic committee members, Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Stephanie Murphy of Florida, are expected to lead the questioning of witnesses. Whether the committee has actual evidence of such cooperation remains to be seen.
“In our hearings to come,” Cheney added, “we will identify elements of those plans and we will show specifically how a group of Proud Boys led a mob into the Capitol building on Jan. 6.”During Trump’s rally held on Jan. 6, Cassidy Hutchinson says she overheard Trump tell staff that he didn’t care whether people had weapons.
