The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection released its final report on Thursday, concluding that former President Trump intentionally spread false claims about the 2020 election and instigated his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol.
The long-anticipated, 845-page eight-chapter report brings an end to an 18-month investigation during which the committee interviewed over 1,000 witnesses and conducted nearly a dozen public hearings.

John Oliver returned from vacation on Sunday night for a new episode of “Last Week Tonight,” and to start the show, he admitted there was no way he could possibly cover everything he missed this month. That said, the late night host couldn’t resist piling onto the mockery of Senator Josh Hawley for fleeing rioters on January 6.
As part of last Thursday night’s Jan. 6 committee hearing, a video was teed up by Rep. Elaine Luria (D-va) who explained that Hawley also fled the Capitol that day, shortly after he raised a fist to salute the crowd on his way into work that morning. The video quickly went viral, with the hosts of “The View” calling Hawley a “shrimp wimp” and late night host Stephen Colbert even adding various music and sound effects to the footage.
So naturally, Oliver got a few shots in before getting into his main story.

The hosts of “The View” joined in on the outpouring of mockery for Josh Hawley on Friday, after video footage emerged of him running away from the same Jan. 6 rioters he made a point of publicly supporting.
The videos came as part of Thursday night’s Jan. 6 committee hearing, teed up by Rep. Elaine Luria (D-va) who explained that Hawley also fled the Capitol that day, shortly after he raised a fist to salute the crowd on his way into work that morning. “The View” hosts wasted no time in mocking the moment, with guest host Ana Navarro outright begging Joy Behar to let her shift the conversation over to him.
“What an invertebrate that man is,” Navarro said. “We all saw him, remember, when he has his fist up. I think at that point he must’ve thought he was hailing a cab. And then we see him running like the shrimp,...

When the House Jan. 6 committee announced that their next hearing would provide a minute-by-minute account of what Donald Trump was doing during his 187 minutes of inaction as the insurrection unfolded, it sounded like the premise of a bad action movie. What they provided was certainly a thriller, but of an absolutely infuriating kind. The hearing presented such a devastating indictment of the former president’s dereliction of duty to the Constitution and the nation that only those completely drunk on the Maga Kool-Aid could ignore its findings.
This ninth edition of the weeks-long series and final primetime hearing of the summer needed to deliver the goods, and it did so in spades. Like its predecessors, it didn’t just offer new information to devastating effect; it also made us reassess what we already knew. It’s no secret that Trump spent those 187 minutes fiddling while the Capitol burned.

The Jan. 6 committee’s eighth hearing focused on what former President Donald Trump was doing — or, more accurately, what he wasn’t doing — during the 187 minutes that elapsed between his speech at the rally that preceded the Capitol attack and when he finally tweeted, and tweeted affectionately, for his supporters who had ransacked the halls of Congress to “go home.”
The biggest takeaway wasn’t simply that Trump didn’t do anything to stop the attack; it was, as Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) put it at the top of the hearing,...

President Trump ignored a Jan. 6 call from Pentagon officials seeking a coordinated response to the Capitol attack, according to national security officials’ testimony to the Jan. 6 committee.
Trump instead was calling Republican senators to ask them to delay certification of the 2020 election, the committee revealed on Thursday. “He was calling senators to encourage them to delay or object to the certification,” Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.), who was leading the proceedings, said of what Trump was doing during the attack. Luria then played testimony of former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany...

The Jan. 6 committee began its eighth hearing by laying out how former President Trump abdicated his duty by declining to take action as his supporters were attacking the Capitol. The hearing featured clips of several witnesses testifying both to the efforts of those around the former president to get him to do something about the riot, and to Trump’s insistence that nothing should be done. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley was one of those who couldn’t believe Trump failed to respond.

The Jan. 6 committee’s public hearings were expected to wrap up on Thursday, with a final, primetime hearing during which the panel will delve into what former President Trump was doing as the attack on the Capitol unfolded last Jan. 6. But Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) announced at the start of the hearing that the committee will hold additional hearings in September.
The committee has so far held seven public hearings that have jam-packed with damning revelations about Trump and his team’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The day after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, then-President Trump released a video finally, reluctantly agreeing to a transfer of power to the “new” Biden administration. As soon as two days after the release of the White House video, however, Donald Trump wanted a mulligan.
A person with direct knowledge of the matter tells Rolling Stone that Trump told aides who were sticking by him that he wanted to deliver another speech to the nation, one in which he would double-down on the lie that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” via “fraud.

More Jan. 6 hearings might be on the horizon after this week’s, according to Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who shared that the investigation into the Capitol riots “is still ongoing.”

“This investigation is not winding down,” Kinzinger said. “We may be towards the end of this tranche of hearings, we may have more hearings in the future and the investigation is still ongoing.”

House Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and other members of the panel appear to be split on whether they will end up making criminal referrals to the Justice Department, CNN reported late Monday. A spokesperson for the committee itself, however, has said it will indeed make criminal referrals “if warranted.”
When asked on Monday about referring former President Donald Trump or anyone else for charges, Thompson replied, “No, you know, we’re going to tell the facts. If the Department of Justice looks at it, and assume that there...

The report cites two sources with knowledge of who attended, and one White House official said of them, “It’s kind of odd to be voting to say the guy is a clear and present danger to the globe, but I’m going to come and hang out at the White House for a black tie affair.”
