Committee presents witness testimony that put Trump at heart of a premeditated coup attempt and violent assault on US democracy
President Donald Trump plotted in advance to declare victory in the 2020 election whatever the outcome and was the “central cause” of the deadly attack on the US Capitol on January 6, a congressional panel alleged on Thursday.
A House of Representatives select committee investigating last year’s riot reconvened in Washington after a two-and-a-half month hiatus for its ninth and possibly final televised hearing. It presented devastating witness testimony that put Trump at the heart of a premeditated coup attempt and violent assault on American democracy.
