The House Committee blamed the former president alone for triggering the deadly riots as he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and recommended that Donald Trump be barred from running for president.
The Committee concluded that the former president should not be allowed to hold public office again.
Section 3 of the Constitution's 14th amendment states that anyone who aided enemies of the constitution can be disqualified from holding future office.
Multiple far-right groups were encouraged by Trump to attend the January 6th protest in D.C. in order to inflame the situation. Don't forget to be there. A member of the Trust and Safety team at the time said that they created a "fire hose" of calls to overthrow the U.S. government.
During the attack on the Capitol, Trump blamed Vice President Mike Pence for not having the "courage" to interfere with the democratic process, actions the report said were a "dereliction of duty."
The seeds for the attack were sown by Trump's "premeditated" attempts to declare election "victory" and conspiracy to spread misinformation about voter fraud, which have roundly been debunked.
200 apparent acts of public or private outreach, pressure, or condemnation towards state legislators were included in the efforts to overturn the election.
Much of the report centered on revelations already made public during panel hearings conducted over the past six months, but also included new transcripts and came days after the panel unanimously recommended Trump face criminal charges for inciting the violence.
The Senate passed changes to the way election results are certified on Thursday, which prompted it to make more recommendations to prevent similar attacks in the future.
The deadline for the report to be published was December 31, which is when the Republicans will take control of Congress.
The main cause of January 6th was a man named Donald Trump. The panel said that none of the events of January 6th would have been possible without him.
The highly partisan Unselect Committee Report purposely fails to mention the failure of Pelosi to heed my recommendation for troops to be used in D.C. WITCHHUNT!
It's possible that Trump will be charged for his role in the insurrection. The committee on Monday recommended that the DOJ charge Trump, along with his band of advisors, for inciting or engaging in an insurrection. The committee is giving transcripts to the authorities who are looking into the insurrection.
The Republicans are expected to respond to the report this week.
The report is the result of an 18-month investigation into the historic day and the role of Trump and his supporters in trying to stop the certification of President Joe Biden's election win. More than 1,000 witnesses were interviewed and reviews of evidence were done. White House officials and aides testified in public despite legal efforts from Trump to stop them. One of the most shocking testimonies was from Cassidy Hutchinson, who said that Trump lunged at his driver in an attempt to force him to the Capitol as the insurrection unfolded.
Trump launches a presidential bid.
The committee report said Cassidy Hutchinson was pressured not to testify.
The committee recommended four criminal charges against the president.
