Latest January 6 hearings – live: Trump reports to DoJ that Capitol officer refuses to accept rioters’ apology

Jan. 6 panel member Jamie Raskin promised a “profound moment of judgment for America” ​​at his panel hearing next week, a session that will uncover more testimony from Trump’s lawyer at the White House, Pat Cipollone.

Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney also outlined the committee’s upcoming meeting in her closing remarks to viewers on Tuesday, showing video of Mr. Cipollone responding to questions about Mr. Trump’s actions and remarks during the attack itself.

The House Select Committee released video testimony from several former Trump administration officials — including the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Ivanka, the daughter of former President Donald Trump — who urged to concede, but were ignored.

The then-president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, was shown being asked if the Dec. 14, 2020 Electoral College vote made her realize the administration would end.

“I think so. I think that was probably my feeling before too,” she said.

Several other members of the administration echoed that sentiment, including Judd Deere, who was the White House deputy press secretary.

Yesterday’s January 6 committee hearing included examples of online chatter generated by Donald Trump’s tweet calling on his supporters to rally in Washington, DC.

Some of the rhetoric online has become “overtly murderous” and white nationalist, Rep. Jamie Raskin said in his presentation.

As the dust settles from yesterday’s hearing, Eric Garcia delves into the questions the Jan. 6 committee has so far left unanswered — and examines where the answers might come from.

Among the biggest unknowns, he writes, is what the Justice Department does with the evidence the committee presented in public:

Hardcore right-wing agitator Roger Stone, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, has several times publicly associated himself with the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers in one way or another. But during yesterday’s committee hearing, his links to extremist groups were exposed in more detail.

Mr Stone, a former campaign manager for Richard Nixon and a longtime Republican operative, was shown on video taking the so-called “Fraternity Creed” which is required to enter the Proud Boys.

Footage was shown of Stone in a crowded outdoor space reciting the band’s code: “Hi, I’m Roger Stone. I am a Western chauvinist and I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world.

It appears the well-documented impact of the Jan. 6 attack has hit the US Capitol police hard, with a new House report detailing how the force has lost dozens of officers over the past 18 month.

Geraldo Rivera, a regular talking head on Fox News, is a relatively consistent critic of the former president by right-wing media standards – and as yesterday’s hearing laid bare Mr Trump’s role in fomenting the attack on Capitol Hill, he had this to say about his longtime acquaintance’s culpability for what happened between the 2020 election and Jan. 6, 2021.

After testifying before the Jan. 6 select committee yesterday, Jan. 6 rioter Stephen Ayres walked up to a line of police officers who were attacked by Trump supporters during the riot and apologized.

Seen from a distance, it looked like a moment of reconciliation. But at least one officer, Harry Dunn – who described in a previous hearing how he suffered heinous racial abuse during the attack – did not accept Mr Ayres’ gesture.

Talk to The Independent after the hearing, he indicated that he had not yet dealt with Mr. Ayres’ remarks.

“It just seemed like the right thing to do,” he said. “But I don’t know if I accept that. It’s hard to express sympathy to a person like that again, maybe, but that’s all I have.

Former national security adviser John Bolton appeared on CNN on Tuesday afternoon to discuss committee testimony on the Capitol riot and made a startling reference to his expertise in plotting coups.

“As someone who has helped plan coups — not here but, you know, somewhere else — that takes a lot of work,” Mr. Bolton told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

Mr Bolton began his remarks on his past coups by disagreeing with Mr Tapper’s assertion that ‘you don’t have to be brilliant to attempt a coup “. He then criticized President Donald Trump, his former boss, for doing all the work he hinted at in his past plots.
