the investigation of the Parliamentary Commission heavily overwhelms Donald Trump

A “amazing spectacle”. This is how journalist Loïc de La Mornais describes the broadcast, Thursday, June 9, live on American television, of the results of the Parliamentary Commission relating to the attack on the Capitol. America has discovered new videos, most of which have never been released before. On one of them, we see rioters attacking police officers on the ground, with hockey sticks. An injured policewoman also said she saw “many colleagues in blood”. The two-hour broadcast of the House of Representatives Committee of Inquiry was intended to show Americans, with precise timing in support, that the chaos had been organized upstream.

“I have no right to tell you what will happen today, but you will see for yourself”, confided in particular a supporter of Donald Trump before the assault. William Barr, former Minister of Justice, explained that he had tried for weeks to contain the president’s whims. “I told him that I disagreed with the idea that the election had been stolen. I told the president that was bullshit”, he assures. The deputy Liz Cheney, one of the few Republican congresswomen on the commission, warned members of her party. “To my colleagues who have defended the indefensible, I say to you that one day Donald Trump will be gone. But your dishonor will remain”she said.

The conclusions of the commission will remain symbolic, since the Senate refused to open a commission of inquiry, blocked by the Republicans.
