Panel to Dissect Trump’s 187 Minutes of Inaction

July 15, 2022 · 11:24 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is planning to return to prime time on Thursday for what could be the finale of its summer hearing schedule: a session focused on former President Donald Trump’s 187 minutes of inaction as a mob of his supporters assaulted Congress,” the New York Times reports.

“The hearing, scheduled for 8 p.m. on July 21, is expected to give a detailed account of how Mr. Trump resisted multiple entreaties from staffers, lawyers and even his own family to call off the attack, which raged for hours in the early afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021.”
