The parliamentary commission of inquiry into the assault on the Capitol has reported to the justice department Donald Trump's attempt to call one of the witnesses in the investigation (whose name was not disclosed) to assess any criminal profiles.
This was reported by Vice President Liz Cheney at the end of today's hearing, evoking an attempted bribery of witnesses.
In today's hearing, the commission of inquiry into the assault on the Capitol presented two former far-right militants as witnesses.
The first, Stephen Ayres, already indicted for the attack on Congress, reported that he was directly influenced by Donald Trump's rhetoric on electoral fraud and that he believed him blindly.
The second, Jason Van Tatenhove, testified on the progressive radicalization of the Oath Keepers, one of the extremist groups that attacked the Capitol and of which in the past he was a spokesman.
"I can tell you that they don't like being called militia, but they are. They are a violent militia," he said, reporting walking away after hearing some members deny the Holocaust.
Tatenhove called the assault on the Capitol "an armed revolution"
"Big protest in DC on January 6. Be there, it will be crazy!".
It was this incendiary plea tweeted by Donald Trump on December 18, 2020 that served "as a call to action, and in some cases a call to arms, for many of Trump's most loyal supporters" to storm Congress, as emerged from the testimony of the seventh. public hearing of the parliamentary inquiry commission.
A siren in particular for the right-wing paramilitary groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, whose leaders have already been indicted for seditious conspiracy.
That quiff helped to forge an alliance in the archipelago of extremist groups, cultivated by former political consultant Roger Stone, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former White House strategist Steve Bannon.
The tweet generated other appeals online among the radical fringes to mobilize for January 6.
Some extremists began to talk openly about killing dem exponents, carrying guns and bulletproof vests.
