Jan. 6 Committee Begins U.S. Capitol Insurrection Hearings

Zac Schultz:

Also in Washington a House committee began broadcasting its findings of a yearlong investigation into the January 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol. The 90-minute hearing included bipartisan statements from committee members, a timeline of events, never before seen footage from the violence of that day and testimony from the hundreds of witnesses the committee has interviewed.

William Barr:

You can’t live in a world where the incumbent administration stays in power based on its view, unsupported by specific evidence, that the election — that there was fraud in the election.

Liz Cheney:

There is no room for debate. Those who invaded our Capitol and battled law enforcement for hours were motivated by what President trump had told them. That the election was stolen and that he was the rightful president. President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack.
