actions during the deadly riot, which the panel says he did nothing to stop but instead “gleefully” watched on television at the White House.
With live testimony from two former White House aides, and excerpts from the committee's more than 1,000 interviews, the Thursday night session will add a closing chapter to the past six weeks of hearings that at times have captivated the nation and provided a record for history. “You will hear that Donald Trump never picked up the phone that day to order his administration to help," Cheney said.
Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has testified that Trump wanted to include language about pardoning the rioters in the speech, but White House lawyers advised against it. Trump reluctantly condemned the riot in a three-minute speech that night. "These are people who believed in the work they were doing, but didn’t believe in the stolen election,” Luria said.
What remains uncertain is whether Trump or the former president's top allies will face serious charges. No former president has ever been federally prosecuted by the Justice Department.
