5 key takeaways from second January 6 US Capitol riot hearing

Al Jazeera  

Second public hearing this month focuses on how Donald Trump’s advisers told him that his election fraud claims were false. “We look at the allegations, but they don’t pan out.” ‘Detached from reality’: Barr says Trump had no interest in facts Former Attorney General Bill Barr told the committee in a video featured at Monday’s hearing that Trump appeared to have no interest in the facts when he was making election fraud allegations, including promoting unfounded reports of rigged voting machines. “On the other hand when I went into this and would tell him how crazy some of these allegations were, there was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts are.” Barr described his first post-election meeting with Trump in late November 2020, in which he said the former president raised the prospect of the Justice Department probing election fraud allegations. Barr said Kushner replied: “We’re working on it.” Giuliani was intoxicated while advising Trump on election night: Witness Former New York mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was intoxicated when he was advising the former president on election night, a witness told the committee. They deserve better than what President Trump and his team did.” Trump’s critics refer to his election fraud claims as “the big lie“.
