The Commission of Inquiry of the U.S. House of Representatives for Events on Capitol Hill in January last year is preparing to examine whether violent extremists responded to the former president’s call Donald Trump Get to Washington for a big rally.
The panel examining the Capitol siege on January 6, 2021 is scheduled to convene next Tuesday for a public hearing that will examine what he calls the final stage in Trump’s multi-directional effort to halt the president’s victory Joe Biden.
“We will unfold the totality of the evidence we have that speaks to how Trump’s Dec. 19 tweet of ‘Be there, be wild’ was a siren call to these people,” a panel member said.
This is the seventh discussion in the committee. When over the past month, the panel has created a scathing Trump narrative that he is “disconnected from reality,” clinging to his false allegations of voter fraud and working feverishly to change his election defeat. According to the committee, everything drained to its climax with the deadly attack on the Capitol.
The commission plans to investigate this week whether the extremist groups that have mobilized for Trump in the past have coordinated with White House allies by Jan. 6. The panel is also expected to highlight new testimony from Pat Ciplon, the former White House adviser, who “was aware of every big move” Trump made, said Dr. Jamie Raskin, who will lead the meeting.
