As the Jan. 6 committee prepares to release its final report, a look back at what we learned from the hearings about former President Donald Trump’s actions before and during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said each element had something in common.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told the committee that Trump’s claims about thousands of ineligible voters were unsubstantiated. "They said that there were over 66,000 underage voters, we found that there were actually zero," Raffensperger said. A pivotal moment came Dec. 19, when Trump tweeted at 1:42 a.m. that there would be a big protest in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, and that it "will be wild." It was one of more than a dozen tweets the president sent promoting the event.
Hutchinson said that just days before Jan. 6, the national security adviser and the Secret Service received reports about violence and weapons expected on Jan. 6.
