January 6 committee hearing reveals what Donald Trump was doing — and not doing — during the Capitol riot

ABC  

The first round of January 6 hearings may have ended, but the committee investigating the Capitol riot seems to be just getting started. Witnesses told the hearing that Donald Trump became "irate" when his Secret Service officials refused to let him go to the Capitol. Ms Matthews, a White House press aide who had attended several Trump rallies and knew the president's call-and-response relationship with his supporters, said it was akin to "pouring gasoline on the fire". Donald Trump's former deputy press secretary, Sarah Matthews, says she believes he "poured gasoline" on the fire by criticising Mike Pence on Twitter. A White House aide drafted words for Mr Trump including the plea: "I'm asking you to leave the Capitol now and go home in a peaceful way".
