House Committee Bares How Trump, Allies Exhausted All Means To Overturn 2020 Elections

The much-awaited final report concerning the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was officially released on Thursday, Dec. 22, by the House Select Committee. The report included the role of former US President Donald Trump in engaging in a multi-part conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results.

The 814-page report (via CNN) took nearly 18 months and included how the former US leader failed to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol building as lawmakers were in the process of certifying the victory of Joe Biden.

“The central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed,” the report read. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him.”

The 76-year-old did not waste time responding to this, saying that the report failed to mention the failure of Pelosi to heed Trump’s recommendation for troops to be used in D.C.

It was added that the findings in the report were based on information collected from over 1,000 interviews conducted by the panel. Aside from this, emails, text messages and phone records obtained by investigators were also used in the course of the probe.

It was also added in the report that Trump and his allies tried to overturn the 2020 elections results, engaging in some 200 acts targeting state legislators or state and local election officials, the New York Times reported.

“The Select Committee estimates that in the two months between the November election and the January 6th insurrection, President Trump or his inner circle engaged in at least 200 apparent acts of public or private outreach, pressure, or condemnation, targeting either State legislators or State or local election administrators, to overturn State election results,” the report notes.

One of the people who Trump allegedly reached out to was Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The 76-year-old reportedly badgered Raffensperger to overturn the Georgia results, contacting him more than a dozen times before the unfortunate Jan. 2, 2021 incident.

The report is divided into eight chapters, with some titled, “The big lie,” “I just want to find 11,780 votes,” “Be there, will be wild!” and “A coup in search of a legal theory.”
