On Thursday, Donald Trump went after McConnell.
McConnell blamed the former president for inciting the insurrection in a video played by the committee.
McConnell addressed the Senate floor as Trump faced his second trial.
McConnell said that the mob was fed false information. The president and others provoked them.
During the second impeachment trial, seven Republican senators voted to convict Trump. McConnell was not a part of the group.
Is this the sameMitch McConnell who came to the White House in order to get me an endorsement and help? He would have been defeated in a big way without me. There is a disloyal sleaze bag. The clip of McConnell was shown on the Senate floor.
One police officer was killed in the Capitol riot. The Proud Boys are a hate group and were also present.
Despite Joe Biden's election victory, organizers were encouraged by Donald Trump's calls to protest the results of the election. While members of Congress were meeting in the Capitol to certify the results and verify Biden's electoral win, Trump supporters staged an attempted coup.
The insurrectionists deleted photos and social-media posts that proved they participated in the Capitol riot. Some broke their phones, scrubbed their social media accounts, and tried to wipe their hard drives of evidence of their involvement.
It was easier for the FBI to identify and charge those who boasted of their involvement. More than 800 people have been charged in connection with the insurrection.
