Thousands of Donald Trump's supporters stormed Congress during the Capitol riots last year, smashing windows, forcing open doors and scaring politicians. The insurrection left five people dead, including a police officer, and more than 100 injured.
The committee was told that his daughter Ivanka Trump and former chief of staff Mark Meadows were among those urging him to issue a strong condemnation of the events.
