The committee investigating the Capitol riot called Donald Trump's behavior a 'dereliction of duty' as it showed during a prime time hearing how the former president failed to halt the mob's attack — see all the key moments here
Watch key moments from the hearing in videos:The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2001, U.S. Capitol riot shared witness testimony on Thursday about then-President Donald Trump's failure to call for law enforcement intervention during the riot.
Rep. Elaine Luria, a Democrat from Virginia, said Trump had put a target on his vice president's back by tweeting: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution." Trump's attacks on Pence left the vice president's security detail worried enough about his safety that members made calls to their families to say goodbye, the committee heard.
But later that day, he appeared in another image: running through the hallways as the rioters invaded the building."It bothered her greatly," Luria said."Because he was doing it in a safe space protected by the officers and the barriers."The Jan. 6 committee on Thursday showed outtakes from then-President Donald Trump's Jan. 7, 2021, speech, during which he repeatedly refused to say the election was over.
