daughter Ivanka Trump asked him to intervene as his supporters ransacked the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said Sunday.
"We know, as he was sitting there in the dining room next to the Oval Office, members of his staff were pleading with him to go on television, to tell people to stop. We know Leader McCarthy was pleading with him to do that," she said, referring to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Thompson said on NBC News'"Meet the Press" that the panel believes Trump made"several videos" before he released the short clip and that it has asked the National Archives for videos that were never shared.
As the anniversary of Jan. 6 nears, Thompson appeared on three Sunday programs to discuss the congressional investigation and the pro-Trump rally that preceded the deadly event. Trump spoke at the rally and encouraged those who were there to march to the Capitol, where Congress was formalizing Biden's win.Thompson said the panel has evidence of interactions between House members and rioters on Jan. 6 that may or may not be significant. He did not specify who.
The report found that a key contributor was the failure of the intelligence community to"properly analyze, assess, and disseminate information to law enforcement" about the potential for violence and the known threats to the Capitol.
