The inquiry into the 6 January riot is underway with over 250 interviews conducted and 45 subpoenas issued.
Trump told his supporters to march on the Capitol at a 'Stop the Steal' rally on 6 January
As its investigatory work — and legal battles — continue, there are a number of gaps and key questions that the committee is seeking to address. Here are a few of the most pressing ones.Bennie Thompson, the chair of the congressional investigation, recently set out some of what his committee is trying to learn about the Washington DC rallies that served as a precursor to the attack on the Capitol.
The committee indicated in its contempt of Congress resolution that it believes Bannon had direct contact with Trump about the 6 January rally on at least one occasion. And Jones said that the White House asked him to lead the march to the Capitol.
That same evening, Trump — after reportedly hearing the growing crowds of supporters gathered outside the White House — tweeted: "Washington is being inundated with people who don't want to see an election victory stolen by emboldened Radical Left Democrats.
Republican Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler has recounted how Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy phoned the president and urged him to call off the attackers. When the president demurred, the conversation devolved into an obscenity-laden shouting match. The Capitol attack represented a stunning lapse of security in a seat of US governmental power, and there's still no clear idea who bears the most responsibility.
