Donald Trump orechestrated last year’s riot at the Capitol in an ‘attempted coup’. A congressional inquiry heard the former president played a crucial role in trying to violently stop a democratic election from being authorised.
The fatal riot came close to completely overrunning the heart of the American government
The Republican said the election had been ‘stolen’ and ‘rigged’ by supporters of Joe Biden, claims which have been categorically proven false. The inquiry heard an account that claimed Mr Trump said his former number two ‘deserves it’ as crowds chanted they would hang Mr Pence. The House committee said the former president’s repeated lies about election fraud and his public effort to stop Joe Biden’s victory led to the attack and imperilled American democracy.
