• January 6th Committee – "All we want to do is get to the bottom of this. The American people deserve answers and a democracy to survive and to function." – @RepKinzinger
• January 6th Committee – "America, what would happen if you received subpoena from Congress or a court? Do you think you could away with just saying 'Go fly a kite?' You'd be held accountable. And, so should Mr. Bannon be held to account for defying the law regarding this subpoena." – @RepZoeLofgren
• January 6th Committee – "As the Select Committee's report lays out, we sought out voluntary cooperation from Mr. Clark. He refused. We subpoenaed him for documents and testimony. At his deposition, he wouldn't answer questions…and then he got up and left. This is unacceptable." -Chair @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – "Beyond that foundational flaw in Mr. Navarro's privilege claim, since the election, he has written and spoken widely about the precise subjects that are the focus of our subpoena… Navarro is eager to tell his story… so long as he can do so on his own terms." -@RepStephMurphy
• January 6th Committee – "Dan Scavino's blatant disregard for our subpoena is his effort to ensure that Congress and the American people never get the first-hand story he has to tell. None of us should find that acceptable. It's contempt for the law and for Congress." -@RepKinzinger
• January 6th Committee – "Democrats and Republicans have agreed that the very foundation of our constitutional republic was threatened. We must prevent that from ever happening again… [Scavino] has to fulfill his legal and moral obligation to provide testimony and documents." -@RepZoeLofgren

• January 6th Committee – "I remember he delivered to the President in pretty blunt terms that he was going to lose." – Jason Miller, a senior Trump Campaign spokesperson

• January 6th Committee – "I repeatedly told the President in no uncertain terms that I did not see evidence of fraud, you know, that would have affected the outcome of the election…. a year and a half later, I still haven't seen anything to change my mind on that." -Trump's Attorney General Bill Bar
• January 6th Committee – "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States… A year ago right now, while Mr. Clark was bound by that oath, an all-out attack on the Constitution was underway… It appears Mr. Clark was central to that effort." -Chair @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – "I'm the F'ing President. Take me up to the Capitol now."
• January 6th Committee – "If he [Meadows] can get away of ignoring the law, if witnesses summoned before Congress can merely pick and choose when they comply, our power of oversight will be gone and along with it our cherished system of checks and balances." -@RepAdamSchiff
• January 6th Committee – "If we're going to protect the country going forward, all of this has to be exposed to the light of day." @RepAdamSchiff discusses the January 6th investigation with @maddow.
• January 6th Committee – "I'm interested in what led to January 6th… what did the former president know prior to January 6th, because what's most important… is that we don't have anything like that happen again." -@RepKinzinger
• January 6th Committee – "I've lost my name, and I've lost my reputation. I've lost my sense of security – all because a group of people… scapegoat[ed] me and my daughter, Shaye, to push their own lies about how the Presidential election was stolen." – Ruby Freeman, former Georgia election worker
• January 6th Committee – "Mark had responded something to the effect of, 'You heard him, Pat. He thinks Mike [Pence] deserves it. He doesn't think they're doing anything wrong.'"
• January 6th Committee – "Meadows has admitted he played both an official and unofficial role in trying to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election… Now, my colleagues and I on the Select Committee need to speak with him about the full plot leading up to January 6th." -@RepZoeLofgren
• January 6th Committee – "Mr. Bannon stands alone in his defiance, and we will not stand for it. We will not allow anyone to derail our work, because our work is too important: helping ensure that the future of American democracy is strong and secure.” – Chairman @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – "Mr. Bannon's own public statements make clear: he knew what was going to happen before it did…The American people deserve to know what he knew, and what he did.” – Vice Chair @RepLizCheney
• January 6th Committee – "Mr. Scavino and Mr. Navarro have attempted to obstruct the pursuit of justice and to stonewall… despite both publicly acknowledging their roles in promoting election fraud conspiracies & counseling the former president on changing the outcome of the election." -@RepElaineLuria
• January 6th Committee – "Navarro has significant relevant knowledge. He's happy to share it on television and in podcasts, but he won't provide this information in response to a lawful subpoena." -@RepStephMurphy
• January 6th Committee – "On January 6th, four decades after my family fled a place where political power was seized through violence, I was in the United States Capitol-fleeing my fellow Americans." – @RepStephMurphy
• January 6th Committee – "Our democracy… requires every generation after the next to fight for it, and to ensure that the American people still have faith in our democratic systems." -@RepStephMurphy
• January 6th Committee – "Our system of government was stretched to the breaking point… We want to figure out why & share that information with the American people. And either you're on the side of helping us figure out why or you're trying to stop us from getting those answers." Chair @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – "The committee believes that there is… good faith reason to conclude that the evidence we're seeking from Eastman's documents contain evidence showing crime or fraud." -@RepAdamSchiff
• January 6th Committee – "The Committee will do whatever we need to get to the truth." Tonight Chairman @BennieGThompson spoke with @wolfblitzer about the Select Committee's latest action to refer Steve Bannon for criminal contempt.
• January 6th Committee – "The conspiracy to thwart the will of the people is not over. There are those in this country who thirst for power but have no…respect for what makes America great: devotion to The Constitution, allegiance to the rule of law, our shared journey to build a more perfect Union."
• January 6th Committee – "The founders intended that ambition should be made to check ambition. If we fail to uphold Congress' power to compel information, then we cease to be a coequal branch of government, unable to perform our oversight or check any abuses of executive power.” – @RepAdamSchiff
• January 6th Committee – "The oath we swear today-that nearly every person who works for the United States Government swears-has its roots in the Civil War… That oath was put to the test on January 6th, 2021." -Chair @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – "The President latched on to a dangerous theory and would not let go because he was convinced it would keep him in office." -@RepPeteAguilar Take a look at the effect of Donald Trump's words and actions:
• January 6th Committee – "The real disservice to the police comes from those who want to whitewash the violence of January 6th and pretend that the riot of that day was anything short of the violent attack it was – aimed at derailing the peaceful transfer of power." – @RepStephMurphy
• January 6th Committee – "There is a continuing threat of domestic terrorism… and we need to be able to investigate what happened, what led up to [Jan. 6th], and make recommendations about protecting the country going forward. So, hard [for Trump] to have a weaker claim of privilege." -@RepAdamSchiff
• January 6th Committee – "There is almost no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president." – Former Vice President Mike Pence
• January 6th Committee – "There isn't a different set of rules for Mr. Bannon. He knows this. He knows there are consequences for outright defiance. And he's chosen the path toward criminal contempt by taking this position.” Watch Chairman @BennieGThompson's full statement:
• January 6th Committee – "There's still more to be learned and so we're pressing on in every way that we can… we're being comprehensive and aggressive about it. Because this was an attack on our democracy and we're determined that it not happen again." -@RepAdamSchiff
• January 6th Committee – "These investigations have a momentum of their own because people watch and they realize that they are in possession of evidence that may be relevant… people are coming forward." -@RepRaskin
• January 6th Committee – "These people are representing themselves as electors in order to essentially overturn the whole popular vote total in the particular state… [Donald Trump] would seize the presidency under that plan and that was part of that sequence of fraud against the republic." -@RepRaskin
• January 6th Committee – "These texts leave no doubt: the White House knew exactly what was happening at the Capitol. Members of Congress, the press, and others wrote to Mark Meadows as the attack was underway." -Vice Chair @RepLizCheney
• January 6th Committee – "This is a textbook case for contempt." -@RepPeteAguilar on Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino's defiance of duly issued subpoenas.
• January 6th Committee – "This was a coordinated effort, a multi-state effort… The fake documents are similar, and we'd like to know who coordinated this, who asked them to do this… we want to know who was behind this plot to overturn the election." -@RepZoeLofgren
• January 6th Committee – "Those who invaded our Capitol and battled law enforcement for hours were motivated by what President Trump had told them. President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack." -Vice Chair @RepLizCheney
• January 6th Committee – "Trump gave no order to deploy the National Guard that day, and made no effort to work with the Department of Justice to coordinate and deploy law enforcement assets. But Mike Pence did." – @RepLizCheney Testimony from General Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:
• January 6th Committee – "Unfortunately, Mr. Scavino and Mr. Navarro persist in clinging to a flimsy shield [of executive privilege]… But since they won't explain it to us, they will need to be accountable to a federal judge instead." -Chair @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – "Vice President Pence demonstrated his loyalty to Donald Trump consistently over four years, but he knew that he had a higher duty – to the United States Constitution." – Vice Chair @RepLizCheney Testimony from Vice President's Chief of Staff:
• January 6th Committee – "We are aware that on January 6, Mr. Scavino was advising Trump throughout the day… It's also been reported that Mr. Scavino was present during a January 5th strategy session with Trump… This is why Mr. Scavino has an obligation to appear before us." -@RepAdamSchiff
• January 6th Committee – "We are in the midst of following the facts and circumstances that got us to Jan. 6th. The 16 individuals we have subpoenaed this week have knowledge as to what occurred before Jan. 6th as well as what occurred on Jan. 6th." – Chairman @BennieGThompson tonight on @chrislhayes
• January 6th Committee – "We ask our young men and women in uniform to go forth every day and protect us. Protect this Republic. Protect our form of government. I am asking you to do the same. Protect our democracy from those forces seeking to destroy it from within." @RepElaineLuria
• January 6th Committee – "We didn't have thousands of people just randomly show up on the 6th of January. There was a method. There was a planning. There was a purpose. And we are going to uncover all of that." -@RepZoeLofgren
• January 6th Committee – "We have interviewed thousands of witnesses, we have received tens of thousands of documents… we are putting together this picture whether they chose to be a patriot… or not." @RepStephMurphy on witness cooperation and the oath of office:
• January 6th Committee – "We hold these positions of public trust to do what is right and just. Above all, our duty is to preserve our Republic, not to act for political convenience, not to attempt to conceal what happened. I would ask each of you, please, do your duty." -Vice Chair @RepLizCheney
• January 6th Committee – "We owe it to every officer who put their life on the line that day, and every day, to protect us here at the Capitol. We owe them answers. And this Committee intends to get those answers by any legal means necessary." – @RepPeteAguilar
• January 6th Committee – "We're not partisan… This is the way committees ought to work with a unified group of Congress Members and the staff that is unified with one mission to uncover the truth." -@RepZoeLofgren
• January 6th Committee – 1:00-1:13 PM: Congress meets in a joint session to confirm Joe Biden as the next President of the United States, while the first mob charges on the Capitol.
• January 6th Committee – 12:00 PM: Donald Trump gives an hour-long speech where he spreads election misinformation and urges the crowd to “never concede.” He concludes his remarks by telling his supporters to march to the Capitol.
• January 6th Committee – 2:12-2:30 PM: Mob breaks into the Capitol building. Both chambers of Congress adjourn and begin to evacuate.
• January 6th Committee – 4:17 PM: Trump posts video message telling the violent mob to“go home. We love you, you're very special.”
• January 6th Committee – A former White House employee with national security responsibilities explained to the Committee that they were specifically informed of Trump's "irate" behavior in the Presidential SUV when the Secret Service told him it was far too dangerous to go to the Capitol.
• January 6th Committee – A message from Vice Chair @RepLizCheney about Thursday's hearing.
• January 6th Committee – “People need to know how close we came close to losing it all. We need to know who participated in this effort [and] how they manipulated the system,” – Chairman @BennieGThompson on the 16 subpoenas issued by the Select Committee this week with @CuomoPrimeTime.
• January 6th Committee – “Preserving our Constitution and the Rule of Law is a central purpose of this investigation. The plain fact here is that Mr. Bannon has no legal right to ignore the Committee's lawful subpoena.” Watch Vice Chair @RepLizCheney's full statement:
• January 6th Committee – “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.” The Select Committee investigated how Trump's call to arms inspired extremists to go to Washington on January 6th.
• January 6th Committee – “We are investigating the attack on American democracy because we are Americans. We are investigating the attack on Congress by domestic enemies of our Constitution, because we are sworn to do so by our oaths of office.” – @RepRaskin
• January 6th Committee – Any attempt to stonewall our investigation will lead to consequences. The Select Committee is determined to use the tools at our disposal to get answers about January 6th for the American people. @RepPeteAguilar
• January 6th Committee – As he was gathering his things in the dining room to leave on the night of January 6, President Trump reflected on the day's events with a White House employee. Trump said nothing to the employee about the attack. He said only "Mike Pence let me down."
• January 6th Committee – At times, President Trump acknowledged the reality of his loss after the election. Although he publicly claimed that he had won, privately, he admitted that Joe Biden would take over as President.
• January 6th Committee – Chair @BennieGThompson on Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro: "These two are saying… Even if I was plotting to overturn the government, I was collecting a government salary at the time, so I don't have to talk about it. Can you imagine?'"
• January 6th Committee – Chair @BennieGThompson: The former President wanted Pence to reject the votes & either declare Trump the winner or send the votes back to the states to be counted again.. We're fortunate for Mr. Pence's courage on January 6th. Our democracy came dangerously close to catastrophe.
• January 6th Committee – Chairman @BennieGThompson joined @maddow tonight to discuss the Select Committee's unanimous vote to recommend Stephen K. Bannon for criminal contempt.
• January 6th Committee – Dan Scavino, Jr. and Peter Navarro potentially played a part in an attack on American democracy… They are obligated to comply with our investigation. They have refused to do so. And that's a crime. @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – Despite knowing the Capitol had been breached and the mob was in the building, President Trump called Mike Pence a coward and placed all the blame on him for not stopping the certification. He put a target on his own Vice President's back.
• January 6th Committee – Did former President Trump have any basis to declare victory in the 2020 election? Trump's former campaign manager Bill Stepien and former Fox News Political Editor Chris Stirewalt:
• January 6th Committee – Donald Trump continued to pressure Mike Pence leading up to the Joint Session of Congress. On January 6, Trump called Pence. Here's what the President family members and staff said about that call:
• January 6th Committee – Donald Trump was told by his own advisors that he had no basis for his stolen election claims, yet he continued to pressure state officials to change the election results.
• January 6th Committee – During our hearings, the committee presented evidence that Trump's campaign and its surrogates misled donors about what their money would be used for. Trump used his lies to raise millions of dollars from the American people for himself and his allies.
• January 6th Committee – During today's hearing, "we will really try to take you into the White House as well as into some of the other actors' departments and agencies to help lay out what happened in the 187 minutes [of Trump's inaction during the attack on the Capitol]." -@RepStephMurphy
• January 6th Committee – Each one of the individuals who were subpoenaed yesterday had a role in raising money for or planning events that led up to the violent attack on the Capitol. We plan to follow the facts to help us get answers for the American people. @RepZoeLofgren
• January 6th Committee – Even the White House Counsel's Office felt the 'fake electors' plan was not legally sound, but President Trump and his allies went forward with the scheme anyway.
• January 6th Committee – Even when top law enforcement officials told the President his election-fraud claims were false, Trump still repeated the nonsense to a wide audience, over and over again.
• January 6th Committee – Following the 2020 election, Georgia Secretary of State Chief Operating Officer's Gabriel Sterling became a spokesperson to try to combat disinformation about the election, and the danger Trump and his allies were creating for election officials.
• January 6th Committee – Former President Donald Trump laid the groundwork for these false claims of mass election fraud well in advance of the election:
• January 6th Committee – Former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann on Jeff Clark's plan to overturn the election: "Congratulations, you just admitted your first step or act you would take as Attorney General would be committing a felony…"
• January 6th Committee – Here are some examples of the intense pressure the Vice President Pence faced from all sides, and what his Chief of Staff thought of it:
• January 6th Committee – Here is what various advisors to President Trump thought about the scheme to overturn the election:
• January 6th Committee – Here's what a federal court said about the Select Committee's evidence on Trump's effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him by overwhelming fraud:
• January 6th Committee – How did President Trump latch on to the ridiculous theory that the Vice President can select the President of the United States?
• January 6th Committee – https://t.co/Po7qA3xecf
• January 6th Committee – If Trump wasn't calling law enforcement or military leaders, what did the President spend his time doing when he first settled into the dining room? He was calling Senators to encourage them to delay or object to the certification. Here's Kayleigh McEnany, his Press Secretary:
• January 6th Committee – It took Trump 187 minutes to make a statement calling off the mob that attacked our Capitol. The former President's dereliction of duty is cause for serious concern. @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – It's reported that Dan Scavino was with Trump during the attack on the Capitol. "We need to hear from people like Dan Scavino, who we referred contempt charges on, because he decided that he's above the law & he doesn't want to talk to Congress under subpoena." -@RepElaineLuria
• January 6th Committee – John Eastman has claimed attorney-client privilege to attempt to conceal records from the Select Committee's investigation. "The problem is that there was no evidence that he was acting as the president's attorney or that they formed an attorney client relationship." -@RepRaskin
• January 6th Committee – Law enforcement fought bravely to protect our Constitution on #January6th. We will not stop until we deliver justice and accountability and ensure that our democracy is secure and our heroes are honored.
• January 6th Committee – Many of President Trump's White House staff, including his daughter Ivanka, also recognized that the evidence did not support the claims President Trump was making.
• January 6th Committee – Mark Meadows does NOT have any special privilege above any other citizen to get out of his civic responsibility. @RepRaskin
• January 6th Committee – Mark Meadows has turned over approximately 9,000 pages of records with no claim of privilege. His production of these documents but failure to appear for the deposition is unacceptable. He can't have it both ways. @RepAdamSchiff
• January 6th Committee – Members of the press, Congress, and a member of the former president's own family urged Trump to call off the mob. Meadows's testimony will help answer whether Donald Trump, through action or inaction, corruptly sought to obstruct the counting of electoral votes. @RepLizCheney
• January 6th Committee – Never-before-seen raw footage of Trump recording his message in the Rose Garden.
• January 6th Committee – No matter how many times Trump's own administration officials told him that his voter fraud allegations were not true, President Trump kept promoting the lies and putting pressure on state officials to accept them.
• January 6th Committee – No one is above the law. Meadows's defiance of the law forces the Select Committee to consider pursuing contempt. We will not stop until we deliver the full truth and accountability for the American people.
• January 6th Committee – On Dec 18, 2020, Sidney Powell, Lt. Gen. Flynn, and others entered the White House for a meeting. The meeting lasted multiple hours and included two groups of Trump advisers trading insults, accusations of disloyalty to the president, and even challenges to physically fight.
• January 6th Committee – On Election Night, Trump's advisors told him that he didn't have a factual basis to declare victory. Yet not only did Trump decide to declare victory, he also called for vote counting to stop. Stopping would have violated federal & state laws & disenfranchised millions of voters.
• January 6th Committee – On January 2, 2021, Rudy Giuliani met with White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Hutchison was told that things on January 6 might get "real bad."
• January 6th Committee – On January 2nd, Trump campaign lawyer Matthew Morgan summarized what the campaign had concluded weeks earlier – that none of the arguments about fraud or anything else could actually change the outcome of the election:
• January 6th Committee – On Thursday, the American people will hear about another part of Trump's scheme: his attempt to corrupt the country's top law enforcement body-the Justice Department-to support his attempt to overturn the election.
• January 6th Committee – On Thursday, the Select Committee previewed our initial findings that the American people will see this month during our hearings. Missed the hearing? 3-minute recap ⤵️
• January 6th Committee – President Trump has never publicly acknowledged his responsibility for the attack. The only time he apparently did so was in a private call with Kevin McCarthy.
• January 6th Committee – President Trump was told repeatedly that Mike Pence lacked the Constitutional and legal authority to do what Trump demanded he do. Testimony from Marc Short, the Vice President's Chief of Staff, who served in the Trump administration in multiple positions over four years:
• January 6th Committee – Recently, the Select Committee obtained footage of Roger Stone before and after the election.
• January 6th Committee – Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy managed to get Trump on the phone and told him to call off his supporters. The President refused.
• January 6th Committee – Stephen Ayres is a former supporter of Trump. He answered the President's call to come to D.C. on January 6th and marched to the Capitol on the President's orders. Mr. Ayres, who no longer supports Trump, came forward voluntarily to share his story as a warning.
• January 6th Committee – Surveillance footage shows a tour led by Loudermilk to areas in the House Office Buildings, as well as the entrances to Capitol tunnels. Individuals on the tour photographed/recorded areas not typically of interest to tourists: hallways, staircases and security checkpoints.
• January 6th Committee – Take a look at what Attorneys General – Democrats and Republicans alike – have said about sticking to their oaths to the Constitution:
• January 6th Committee – The 25th Amendment has never been used to remove a President. But we've learned that after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, it was being discussed by members of President Trump's cabinet as a way of stripping the full power of the presidency from Donald Trump.
• January 6th Committee – The altercation Cassidy Hutchinson described in the presidential vehicle wasn't the first time that Trump was angered about issues relating to the presidential election.
• January 6th Committee – The attack escalated quickly right after Trump's 2:24 tweet. At 2:26, the Vice President had to be evacuated to safety a second time and came within 40 feet of the rioters. *Warning that this video contains strong language.*
• January 6th Committee – The bipartisan #January6th Committee will find the truth of the insurrection despite un-American, partisan efforts to obscure the facts.
• January 6th Committee – The committee has learned that, on January 5th, there were serious concerns at Twitter about anticipated violence the next day. "I had been begging… and attempting to raise the reality that… if we made no intervention into what I saw occurring, people were going to die."
• January 6th Committee – The insurrection on #January6th is not a partisan issue. It was a blatant attack on our democracy and Constitution. Our bipartisan committee will find the facts and reject those who spread the lies that fueled this attack.
• January 6th Committee – The Justice Department indicated that it has evidence of the Oath Keepers bringing firearms and explosives to the D.C. area ahead of Jan 6. Jason Van Tatenhove, former spokesman of the Oath Keepers, details his experience with Stewart Rhodes & violence against political leaders.
• January 6th Committee – The Secret Service had advance information-more than 10 days beforehand-regarding the Proud Boys planning for January 6th. We know now that the Proud Boys and others did lead the assault on our Capitol building.
• January 6th Committee – The Select Committee has a lot of questions about what the President said and did on January 6th. Mark Meadows says he can't discuss those details with us. But apparently, he can put them in his book. @RepPeteAguilar
• January 6th Committee – The Select Committee has gotten information from more than 275 witnesses with more interviews scheduled. For the outliers trying to stonewall our investigation: you will face consequences. We will not allow anyone to stand in the way of our mission. @RepPeteAguilar
• January 6th Committee – The Select Committee has obtained a recording of communications over a walkie-talkie app among Oath Keepers who were inside the Capitol and others who were sharing intelligence from elsewhere. Listen to how they reacted to President Trump's 2:38 tweet in real-time.
• January 6th Committee – The Select Committee has uncovered evidence that at "Stop the Steal" protests at state Capitols across the country, there were individuals with ties to the groups or parties involved in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
• January 6th Committee – The Select Committee obtained never-before-seen footage of the President recording an address to the nation on January 7th. One day after he incited an insurrection based on a lie, Trump still couldn't say the election was over.
• January 6th Committee – The Select Committee's next hearing will continue the story of Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election. @RepRaskin previews Tuesday's hearing:
• January 6th Committee – The Vice President also worked the phones from his own secure evacuation location. Look at never-before-seen photographs of the Vice President during the Capitol attack and hear about the Pence's conversations with military leaders to secure the building.
• January 6th Committee – Then-President Trump asserted that he generally did his own tweets – but he acknowledged that "on occasion" Dan Scavino helped shape them. With that in mind, let's take a closer look at Trump's tweets leading up to the violent attack on the Capitol:
• January 6th Committee – There were also serious concerns on Jan 5th among Members of Congress. Rep. Debbie Lesko, who led objections to the election: "[We have] Trump supporters, who actually believe that we are going to overturn the election. And when that doesn't happen… they are going to go nuts"
• January 6th Committee – These brave men and women risked *everything* to defend our Constitution. To deny their courage, to deny this attack on our democracy, is a vile betrayal of our great country. This bipartisan committee will respect the patriotic sacrifice of these officers by finding the truth.
• January 6th Committee – This morning we'll tell the story of how Donald Trump lost an election-and knew he lost an election-and as a result of his loss, decided to wage an attack on our democracy. And in doing so, lit the fuse that led to the horrific violence of January 6th.
• January 6th Committee – This previously unseen footage shows Congressional leaders-both Republicans and Democrats-as they were taken to a secure location during the January riot. Everyone involved was actively working to address the violence. All of them did what President Trump refused to do.
• January 6th Committee – To remove any doubt: Not only did Donald Trump fail to contact his Secretary of Defense on January 6th (as shown in our hearing), Trump also failed to give any order prior to January 6 to deploy the military to protect the Capitol. Here is Secretary Miller's testimony-
• January 6th Committee – Today, Chairman @BennieGThompson joined @FaceTheNation to talk about the bipartisan House vote to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress and the swift progress of the Select Committee to get answers to the American people about the violent attack on our democracy. Watch⬇️⬇️⬇️
• January 6th Committee – Today's testimony makes clear that Trump wanted to go to the Capitol with the armed mob, despite warnings not to do so from his advisors. When the Secret Service ruled out the possibility, the former President erupted in anger in the Suburban he was riding in.
• January 6th Committee – Trump "wanted officials at the local and state level to say the vote was tainted by widespread fraud and throw out the results, even though, as we showed last week, there wasn't any voter fraud that could have overturned the election results." – Chair @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – Trump "was still adamant to go to the Capitol when he got off the stage… We have evidence from multiple sources regarding a heated argument in the presidential SUV, including testimony… from two witnesses who confirmed that this heated argument occurred." – @RepElaineLuria
• January 6th Committee – Trump could have gone to the Press Briefing Room to issue a statement at any moment during the 187 minutes. Take a look at how easy it would have been for the President to deliver a statement to the nation and call off the attack:
• January 6th Committee – Trump lost the election, knew he lost, yet continued to claim the election was ‘stolen' and spread the Big Lie. Watch the Select Committee's hearing 2 recap ⤵️
• January 6th Committee – Trump plotted with lawyer John Eastman to pressure Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election. What the President wanted the Vice President to do was not only unconstitutional but led to the violent attack on The Capitol. Watch the 3-minute recap of yesterday's hearing ⤵️
• January 6th Committee – Trump pressured local and state level officials to throw out the 2020 presidential election results. When these public servants wouldn't go along with Donald Trump's scheme, he worked to ensure they'd face the consequences. Yesterday's hearing recap:
• January 6th Committee – Trump was furious the Secret Service was screening people at his rally for weapons. "They're not here to hurt me. Take the F'ing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here."
• January 6th Committee – Trump's “Be there, will be wild!” call reverberated online across almost every social media platform. Trump's key supporters, including far-right media personalities, saw it as a call to action.
• January 6th Committee – Trump's call to arms on Twitter was interpreted as exactly that. Many posted online that they were ready to die for Trump's lie and wondered whether the police were willing to die defending Congress and the Vice President against Trump's mob.
• January 6th Committee – Trump's Deputy National Security Advisor Matthew Pottinger: The January 6th attack “emboldened our enemies… [and our allies] were concerned about the health of our democracy. So, I think it's incumbent upon us to put their minds at ease… by investigating what happened…"
• January 6th Committee – Trump's own campaign advisors, his Department of Justice, and his cybersecurity experts all told him the same thing… the Dominion voting conspiracy was "complete nonsense." Here, for example, is White House lawyer Eric Herschmann:
• January 6th Committee – Trump's legal team: We've got lots of theories, we just don't have the evidence.
• January 6th Committee – Trump's pressure campaign against state and local officials spanned numerous contested states. The danger this campaign posed to state officials and at state capitols around the nation, was an ominous precursor to the violence we saw on January 6th at the U.S. Capitol.
• January 6th Committee – Trump's pressure campaign spread to every level of government. During our last hearing, we showed the American people about the pressure he applied to the Department of Justice. Watch the recap of last Thursday's hearing, then tune in at 1pm ET for the committee's next hearing.
• January 6th Committee – Tuesday's hearing revealed that Trump and his allies knowingly pushed a false scheme to overturn the election, and failed to prevent and stop violence at the Capitol. 4️⃣-minute recap of Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony ⤵️
• January 6th Committee – Under our Constitution, when we cast our votes for President, we're actually voting to send electors pledged to our preferred candidate to the Electoral College. As an attempt to stay in power, Trump's campaign coordinated a plot to send fake electors not chosen by the voters.
• January 6th Committee – Virtually everyone told President Trump to condemn the violence in clear and unmistakable terms… But the former President chose not to do what all of these people begged. He refused to tell the mob to leave until 4:17.
• January 6th Committee – WATCH: Attorney General Barr declares that Donald Trump lost the Presidential election in 2020. There is no doubt that the American people voted Trump out of office and the Select Committee has found no evidence of election fraud.
• January 6th Committee – We are investigating an attempt, as one rioter put it, to 'overthrow the government.' "Our Republic, which I served in uniform for 20 years, has never faced a threat as acute and as imminent as what we face today." -@RepElaineLuria
• January 6th Committee – We asked a security professional who had been working in the White House complex on January 6th what was meant by the comment that the Secret Service agents did not "sound good right now." The professional discusses what they heard from listening to the incoming radio traffic:
• January 6th Committee – We believe the "alternate electors" subpoenaed have critical information about who was behind that scheme. We encourage them to cooperate with the Select Committee's investigation to help ensure nothing like January 6th ever happens again. @RepPeteAguilar
• January 6th Committee – We have made clear that there was a stream of communication between members of Congress and Meadows about matters central to our investigation. We have questions about those communications. And we won't let the facts be buried by a coverup. @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – We owe it to the American people to investigate what led up to and happened on January 6th, and to help ensure that nothing like this dark day happens again. History is watching.
• January 6th Committee – What occurred on January 6th was a dark day for our country. It is the Select Committee's responsibility to investigate what led to the violent attack on our Capitol. We'll do just that. @BennieGThompson
• January 6th Committee – While Trump refused to help, other leaders acted to clear the Capitol. Here are never-before-seen photos and video of Congressional leaders during the attack. The video is a portion of a call they had at approximately 4:45 with the Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller.
• January 6th Committee – Within 15 minutes of leaving the stage, President Trump knew the Capitol was besieged and under attack. But from 1:25 until after 4:00, the President stayed in his dining room off the Oval Office. Witnesses confirmed that Trump was in the dining room watching TV.
• January 6th Committee – Witnesses told the Select Committee that Trump considered offering pardons to a wide range of individuals connected to the President.
