Jan. 6 Hearings: What was Trump doing during the Capitol attack?

The committee investigating the deadly January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol last year has heard in minute-by-minute detail how former President Donald Trump chose not to act as he watched protestors breach the Capitol building.

Lawmakers and witnesses presented the case on Thursday night that the then President showed a “supreme dereliction of duty” throughout the insurrection while the mob stormed the heart of American democracy in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
