Last night's episode ended at 9:55 p.m. .... Here's what the committee plans to argue at future hearings, reported by Axios' Alayna Treene and Andrew Solender:
- President Trump spread false information about the 2020 election.
- Trump tried to install loyalists at the Justice Department so the department would "support his fake election claims."
- Trump pressured former Vice President Mike Pence to help overturn the election.
- Trump prodded state election officials and legislators to change the election results.
- Trump's legal team "instructed Republicans in multiple states to create false electoral slates and transmit those slates to Congress and the National Archive."
- Trump summoned and assembled a mob in D.C. and directed members to march on the Capitol.
- Trump ignored pleas for assistance from his team, and failed to take action to stop the violence.
The bottom line: Note the first word of each of those sentences.
- In his opening statement, Chairman Thompson gave his Smart Brevity on the hearings to come: "Donald Trump was at the center of this conspiracy."
