The night's interrogation was supposed to be the last, but due to the majority of new testimonies received, there is a possibility that the investigation will continue this autumn. 

The testimonies come from, among other things, Trump's former employees, advisers and security personnel.  

Knew about weapons 

Donald Trump's former aide Cassidy Hutchinson has previously said that Trump knew that several of his supporters who stormed the Capitol were armed and that he urged them to get to the congressional building.

During the night's hearing, Congresswoman Elaine Luria claimed that Trump, despite knowing about the storming, made no attempt to notify law enforcement.

According to Luria, associates, police, military and government personnel have said in questioning that they did not hear anything from Trump during the storming, reports CNN.

Be furious

During the interrogation, a video taken the day after the storming was shown where Trump, in the preparation of a speech, does not want to say that "the election is over".  

Witnesses from Trump's staff said that he was furious after then-Attorney General Bill Barr said that the lost election to Joe Biden was not due to election fraud.

According to employees, he allegedly threw a plate at the wall and also tried to overturn the election results by referring to theories of election fraud.

At one point, aide Hutchinson said Trump tried to attack a guard who tried to stop him from entering the Capitol. 

"Poured gasoline on the fire" 

Trump's Vice President Mike Pence refused to annul the election results during the vote count.

Trump supporters during the storming of the Capitol were heard shouting "hang Mike Pence" and looking for the vice president.  

At the same time, Trump wrote a post on Twitter that Pence "didn't have the courage to do what was necessary."

He is also said to have said "Our supporters may be right.

Mike Pence deserves it”.

Something that "poured fuel on the fire" and put Pence in a major security risk, according to former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews.

According to TT, the mob must have come as close as ten meters from the vice president, according to new information during the hearings.

At the end of the 187 minutes, Trump finally told his supporters that "the election was stolen from us, but you have to go home now."
