Evidence (2023-09-28): More than two years have passed since the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the central event in the sprawling plot of former President Donald Trump and his allies to subvert the U.S. Constitution and overturn the valid 2020 presidential election. Four months have elapsed since the bipartisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol completed its investigation into the conspiracy that led to one of the darkest days in U.S. history. Trump’s unprecedented attempt to hold onto presidential power by any means necessary was deeply un-American, corrosive to democracy, and an affront to the rule of law. Yet the scheme to destabilize the democratic system for political purposes continues in various ways, representing a clear and present danger to the republic. It is high time that Trump and his allies are held fully accountable. [...] The January 6th Committee’s investigation and report make a central point abundantly clear: Donald Trump, the twice-impeached and one-term 45th president, is principally responsible for the multipart conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and the related January 6 attack on the Capitol.24 Trump was personally and substantially involved in every major facet of the plot. The committee’s report details the premeditation of Trump and his allies that seeded the "big lie" well before Election Day and drove the decision to falsely claim victory on election night and unlawfully call for vote-counting to stop.25

"The public has every right to know what transpired on Jan. 6… but what’s happened since then has been the continued politicization of this — promoting far-right conspiracy theories, election disinformation and extremism. I’m really angry about this."

Evidence (2024-09-12): "Anything we can do to prevent a violent insurrection or an inside political coup, we should be doing," said Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the House select committee that investigated the attack. "But if you have a faction in society that fundamentally does not accept the outcome of democratic elections and the rule of law, there is not any kind of legal panacea to the problem. We have to be prepared at every level for what’s coming at us." [...] "Whenever the former president is involved and democracy is in question, I’m always very, very concerned," said Rep. Joseph D. Morelle of New York, ranking member on the House Administration Committee. He’s among those both on and off the Hill who are gaming out the scenarios in an effort to prepare for Jan. 6, as reported by The Washington Post. [...] The House select committee tasked with investigating Jan. 6 recommended such a move in its final report, noting that presidential inaugurations and State of the Union speeches already earn that distinction.

Evidence (2021-12-13): Prior to a unanimous vote to refer Mark Meadows for contempt of Congress charges, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the ranking Republican on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, read a series of text messages she said Meadows received during the Capitol attack. [...] First, President Trump's failure to stop the violence. On January 6th, our Capitol building was attacked and invaded. The mob was summoned to Washington by President Trump. And, as many of those involved have admitted – on videotape, in social media, and in Federal District Court – they were provoked to violence by President Trump's false claims that the election was stolen. [...] The Select Committee's report referring Mr. Meadows for criminal contempt charges is clear and compelling. As White House chief of staff, Mr. Meadows played a role in or was witness to key events leading up to and including the January 6th assault on the United States Capitol. Don't let lawsuits or op-eds about executive privilege by Mr. Meadows or his representatives confuse you.

Evidence (2022-06-15): House Democrats are doubling down on claims that lawmakers may have led reconnaissance tours before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, citing newly released footage of Rep.

Evidence (2021-06-14): Examining the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol [...] Good afternoon, Chairwoman Maloney, Ranking Member Comer, and members of the committee. Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the FBI’s role and efforts leading up to, and in response to, the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol building. I am pleased to be here representing the dedicated men and women of the FBI. [...] It is not possible to examine the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol without an understanding of the overall terrorism threat picture leading up to that day. In 2020, the FBI assessed the greatest terrorism threat to the homeland was from lone actors or small cells who typically become radicalized online and look to attack soft targets with easily accessible weapons; we remain confident in that assessment today. The FBI sees these threats manifested within both domestic violent extremists (DVEs) and homegrown violent extremists (HVEs), two distinct threats, both of which are located primarily in the United States and typically become radicalized and mobilized to violence on their own. Individuals who commit violent criminal acts in furtherance of social or political goals stemming from domestic influences—some of which include racial or ethnic bias, or anti-government or anti-authority sentiments—are described as DVEs, whereas HVEs are individuals who are inspired primarily by global jihad, but not receiving individualized direction from foreign terrorist organizations.

Claim: Kamala Harris “has not formally taken questions from the press a single time” since she was announced as Joe Biden’s vice presidential pick. (Dinesh D'Souza, 2020-09-23)
Evidence (2020-09-23): Sen. Kamala Harris has interviewed with several local and national news outlets since Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden named her his vice presidential pick. Harris has sat down with national news organizations such as ABC News and CNN and local outlets in key swing states such as Florida, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The claim that Harris "has not formally taken questions from the press a single time" appears to have originated with an NBC News reporter’s tweet. The reporter later clarified that she was talking specifically about press conferences and gaggles.

Claim: Kamala Harris “has not formally taken questions from the press a single time” since she was announced as Joe Biden’s vice presidential pick. (Dinesh D'Souza, 2020-09-23)
Evidence (2024-09-12): Fresh off a debate they thought went well for her, Vice President Kamala Harris’ aides are slowly opening up more engagement for her with the media amid growing concern among allies that she needs to be more accessible, but they have no plans to fundamentally alter their strategy. The campaign said Harris plans to do more interviews with local media in battleground states and speak more with her traveling media corps in the coming days. She will also take questions from members of the National Association of Black Journalists, with whom former President Donald Trump sat for a contentious interview this summer. So far, Harris has done only one national television interview since she took President Joe Biden’s place at the top of the Democratic ticket — a joint appearance on CNN with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. She has also recently done two national radio interviews — with Univision and syndicated morning show host Rickey Smiley — and she has done some "gaggles" with traveling reporters.
