Five people were killed in the chaos that erupted in the nation’s capital on 6 January 2021 after Mr Trump had spent two months baselessly telling his supporters that the comprehensive defeat he had suffered at the hands of Mr Biden the previous November was, in fact, illegitimate, falsely claiming the contest had been “rigged” in a vast nationwide conspiracy dreamed up by his opponents, a fallacy he has kept up ever since. 16 February 2021 Democratic congressman Bennie Thompson, chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, sues Mr Trump, along with Mr Giuliani and the far-right groups the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers under the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act, alleging that they had engaged in “force, intimidation and threat” to impede Congress in its duties. 13 June 2022 The second House committee hearing takes place, dedicated to exploring the dissemination of Mr Trump’s “Big Lie” that the election had been stolen by the outgoing president and his allies. 21 July 2022 The eighth House committee hearing looks at Mr Trump’s inaction in response to the riot, effectively accusing him of a dereliction of his duties as president by refusing pleas to intervene.
