Jan. 6 committee plays 'never-before-seen raw footage of the president recording his address to the nation' the day after the Capitol attack.
The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection is hearing testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide in Donald Trump's White House.
Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has testified that Trump wanted to include language about pardoning the rioters in the speech, but White House lawyers advised against it. Trump reluctantly condemned the riot in a three-minute speech that night. "These are people who believed in the work they were doing, but didn't believe in the stolen election," Luria said.
What remains uncertain is whether Trump or the former president's top allies will face serious charges. No former president has ever been federally prosecuted by the Justice Department. In delving into the timeline, the panel aims to show what happened between the time Trump left the stage at his"Stop the Steal" rally shortly after 1:10 p.m., after telling supporters to march to the Capitol, and some three hours later, when he issued a video address from the Rose Garden in which he told the rioters to"go home" but also praised them as"very special.
"The president didn't do very much but gleefully watch television during this time frame," Kinzinger said.
