After a year and a half of work, the House committee investigating the events of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is set to hold its final hearing and issue a report on its findings.
From left, Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, D.C. Metropolitan Police officer Michael Fanone, D.C. Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges, and U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn are sworn-in before testifying.
“As I was swarmed by a violent mob, they ripped off my badge, they grabbed and stripped me of my radio, they seized ammunition that was secured to my body. They began to beat me with their fists and what felt like hard metal objects,” Fanone said.hurled racial epithets At the hearing’s conclusion, the officers called for a thorough investigation, even if it meant implicating the committee members’ fellow legislators.
Barr resigned in December 2020 after stating in an Associated Press interview that there was no widespread voter fraud, despite false claims to the contrary made by the White House. “Disturbing in the sense that I saw absolutely zero basis for the allegations,” Barr continued. “But they were made in such a sensational way that they obviously were influencing a lot of people — members of the public — [to believe] that there was this systemic corruption in the system and that their votes didn't count and that these machines controlled by somebody else were actually determining it, which was complete nonsense.
When discussing Pence’s ability to alter the electoral votes, Jacob said Eastman acknowledged that he did not think vice presidents in the past or future did or should have that power — only Pence at that moment in history. “We have heard by an official high up in the Republican Legislature that there is a legal theory or a legal ability in Arizona that you can remove the electors of President Biden and replace them. And we would like to have the legitimate opportunity for the committee to come to that end and remove that,” Bowers said Trump and Giuliani told him.
“I don’t want anyone knowing my name,” Moss said. “I don’t wanna go anywhere with my mom ’cause she might yell my name out over the grocery aisle or something. I don’t go to the grocery store at all. I haven’t been anywhere.” The committee also played pre-recorded testimony from Freeman, who sat behind her daughter. Freeman said that she lost her reputation and a sense of security because Trump and Giuliani “decided to scapegoat me and my daughter to push their own lies about the election being stolen.”
Hutchinson continued her testimony, saying she then returned to the West Wing and asked Meadows about Giuliani’s comments. Stephen Ayres, an Ohio resident who went to Washington, D.C., for the rally and entered the Capitol, pleaded guilty in federal court in June to disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds. The following month, he testified that Trump’s social media posts were a large driver of the anger that led him there.
Ayres said he left the Capitol grounds after Trump’s tweet calling on rioters to stand down, saying, “to me, if he would have done that earlier in the day … maybe we wouldn't be in this bad of a situation.”, Ayres said that he lost his job and “pretty much sold my house” as a result of his involvement. He said he no longer believed Trump’s election lies and that it made him angry that the former president was still promoting them.
