WASHINGTON — In a surprise hearing before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, a top aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows testified that former President Donald Trump knew of the possibility for violence when he urged his supporters to “fight like hell” in remarks that morning, and then became irate when his security detail would not let him to go to the Capitol.

WASHINGTON — Even before the beginning of Thursday’s hearing of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, some in former President Donald Trump’s orbit had cause for concern.

WASHINGTON — Over nearly three hours of emotional testimony Tuesday, witnesses before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection detailed the extreme measures that former President Donald Trump and his allies took to pressure them to overturn the 2020 election.

WASHINGTON—In the days leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, when then-Vice President Mike Pence was set to certify President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election, officials supporting former President Donald Trump’s unverified claims of widespread election fraud were warned repeatedly that their plans to deny the outcome of the election had the potential to unleash violence and yet they proceeded with those designs anyway, officials testified Thursday.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection detailed Monday their findings into the origins of what they called the “big lie,” the unsubstantiated allegation by former President Donald Trump and others in his orbit that the 2020 presidential election was plagued by voter fraud and that Trump, not President Joe Biden, was the legitimate winner.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers investigating the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol formally presented their findings to the public for the first time Thursday night, just steps from the site of the failed attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election 17 months ago.
