Read our privacy policy The GOP vice chair of the January 6 committee unloaded on Donald Trump and his remaining defenders at the outset of Tuesday’s hearing, excoriating the ex-president’s allies for explaining away the president’s responsibility. And she dismantled the idea that Mr Trump was hoodwinked by his closest advisers like Rudy Giuliani, the ex-New York City mayor who led his legal efforts after the 2020 election. Her remarks echoed the committee’s previous findings: That most of Donald Trump’s advisers, including the attorney general and other federal officials, were warning him against pursuing such a course of action as he attempted to overturn the election, but the president persisted anyway. Her depiction of Mr Trump as serially incapable of honesty and uncaring about the safety or wellbeing of his supporters who showed up believing his election lies on Jan 6 comes as the committee on Tuesday plans to hear testimony from a Trump supporter who has plead guilty to criminal charges as a result of his actions on the president’s behalf that day.
