The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot called Donald Trump's behavior that day a 'dereliction of duty' as it showed during a prime time hearing how the former president failed to halt the mob's attack on the Capitol.
Watch key moments from the hearing in videos:The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2001, U.S. Capitol riot shared witness testimony on Thursday about then-President Donald Trump's failure to call for law enforcement intervention during the riot.
Rep. Elaine Luria, a Democrat from Virginia, said Trump had put a target on his vice president's back by tweeting: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution." Trump's attacks on Pence left the vice president's security detail worried enough about his safety that members made calls to their families to say goodbye, the committee heard.
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri was seen raising his fist to the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6.
