Donald Trump deluged aides with wild voter fraud conspiracy theories after losing the 2020 US election, his top law-enforcement official says in testimony revealed by a congressional probe, which the ex-president says is a 'mockery of justice'
In a 12-page missive, ex-president Donald Trump says instead of focusing on the country's larger problems, Democratic-led panel was"a Kangaroo Court" that seeks to distract Americans.
Former US president Donald Trump has decried the congressional probe into the riot by his supporters last year at the US Capitol as a "mockery of justice." The former US leader also reiterated the same conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election that earlier in the day the congressional probe had argued were a key motivating factor for his supporters to riot.
Trump, fuming that the committee was one-sided in its approach, said the panel "is making a mockery of justice."As part of Monday's televised hearing, the congressional panel –– which is composed of seven Democrats and two Republicans –– showed videos in which former aides to Trump testified that they repeatedly told the president that his assertions of widespread fraud in the election were false.
