Al Jazeera, 13 Jul 2022
The wide-ranging hearing gave a timeline of events leading up to the January 6 riot, showing how former United States President Donald Trump “summoned a mob” to Washington, DC, despite knowing that his claims of election fraud were false, the January 6 committee.
Trump had a responsibility to tell his supporters the truth that he had lost the election but “he went the opposite way,” Chair Bennie Thompson said.
