• The United States Treasury did not audit Trump during the first two years of his presidency

  • Capitol Trump, key in the assault: "The central cause of January 6 was a man, the former US president"

The root cause of the

January 6, 2021

storming of the Capitol was "one man",

Donald Trump

.

This is indicated by the final report of the committee of the

House of Representatives

that investigates the serious incidents in Washington that resulted in five deaths and 140 injuries.

Behind the angry mob that forced their way into the headquarters of

the United States Congress

was "a plan with several parts to reverse the presidential elections" that he lost to

Joe Biden

in 2020, a framework that had the explicit support of several collaborators.

Among the recommendations of the commission, made up of seven Democratic congressmen and two Republicans, is to request Congress to prevent both Trump and the rest of his collaborators in the plot from ever holding public office again, which would ruin the re-election dreams of the New Yorker.

The fourteenth amendment to the

Constitution

allows for the disqualification of persons involved in an act of insurrection or who assisted enemies of the country.

"The evidence has led to an absolute and direct conclusion: the central cause of January 6 was one man, former President Donald Trump, who was followed by many others," a summary of the report states.

"None of the events of January 6 would have happened without him," endangering "the lives of US lawmakers."

The ball is now in the court of the Justice Department, which the commission recommended bringing four criminal charges against Trump: insurrection, obstruction of an official congressional process, conspiracy to commit fraud against the

United States

and conspiracy to spread electoral falsehoods.

The full 845-page report includes parts of more than 1,000 interviews conducted over the course of the 18-month investigation, an eight-part report that reveals, among other things, that several Republican lawmakers sent messages to the chief of staff. of the White House,

Mark Meadows,

urgently calling for Trump's intervention to stop the assault.

"Please tell the president to calm people down," said Marjorie

Taylor Greene

, R-Ge.

What the committee could not corroborate with second testimony was Trump's attempt to grab the steering wheel of the presidential car to try to get to the Capitol and join his supporters.

The report specifies that the Secret Service agents in the car could not confirm the story of

Cassidy Hutchison

, Meadows' assistant, who assured the commission that Tony Ornato, assistant director of the Secret Service, told him so.

The investigation also accounts for the pressure exerted on Hutchinson to keep silent and not compromise Trump.

However, his testimony to the committee in June against the president was explosive, implicating the Republican in the plot to reverse the electoral result and supporting the January 6 marches.
