Lawmakers probing the 2021 attack on the US Capitol vote to subpoena former President Donald Trump to testify on his involvement in the violence. IMAGES
Donald Trump's extraordinary effort to overturn his 2020 election defeat came into ever-clearer focus Thursday, with testimony describing his pressuring Vice President Mike Pence in vulgar private taunts and public entreaties to stop the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the run-up to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.
The US Congress's probe of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol by Donald Trump supporters trying to overturn his election defeat enters a new phase this week with hearings meant to refocus attention on the violence and those who planned it.
Washington, Feb 8 (EFE).- Holed up in his boss's office in the US Capitol, Remmington Belford heard shouting and banging but had to turn on the television to find out what was happening: a mob had invaded one of the world's most secure places and the instigator of the violence was none other than President Donald Trump, who is now facing impeachment because of his actions before and during the Jan. 6 assault on Capitol Hill.
The supporters of Donald Trump who attacked the US Capitol were "provoked" by the president and "fed lies," says Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. "The mob was fed lies," says the senator from Kentucky in a speech on the Senate floor. SOUNDBITE
