The Honorable Jamie Raskin, a Representative in Congress From the State of Maryland

Well, President Trump is still promoting the Big Lie about the election. How does it make you feel?

Never before in American history had a President called for a crowd to come contest the counting of electoral votes by Congress.

Despite these grave concerns, Trump remained on the platform completely unchecked.

President Trump's tweet drew tens of thousands of Americans to Washington to form the angry crowd that would be transformed on January the 6th into a violent mob.

The Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers are two key groups that responded immediately to President Trump's call.

When Donald Trump sent out his tweet, he became the first President ever to call for a crowd to descend on the Capital City to block the constitutional transfer of power.

Last month, on June 28th, Sergeant Gonell's team of doctors told him that permanent injuries, he has suffered, to his left shoulder, and right foot, now make it impossible, for him, to continue, as a police officer. He must leave policing…

I fear for the world that they will inherit if we do not start holding these people to account.

If a President that is willing to try to instill and encourage to whip up a civil war amongst his followers using lies and deceit... what else is he going to do if he gets elected again?

Even an agreed-upon complete lack of evidence could not stop President Trump, Mark Meadows, and their allies from trying to overturn the results of a free and fair election.

I do fear for this next election cycle because who knows what that might bring.

What it was going to be was an armed revolution. I mean, people died that day.

You might imagine that our Founders would have been shocked to learn that an American President would one day come to embrace and excuse political violence against our own institutions.

On January 6th, Trump knew the crowd was angry. He knew the crowd was armed. He sent them to the Capitol anyway.

This hearing will be the moment when one sees both a convergence of efforts of a political coup with the insurrectionary mob violence.

our investigation shows that there was a tremendous convergence of interests between the domestic violent extremist groups and the broader MAGA movement.

The Supreme Court is on an absolute reactionary rampage striking down reasonable modest gun safety laws like New York`s concealed carry law which we have an analogue to hear in Maryland, toppling more than a half-century of right to…

We`re in the fight of our lives here. And we`ve got to play hardball to defend our institutions. But we`re not going to go outside of the law to play their games.

Donald Trump knew that he had heavily armed followers in the crowd and in fact wanted to waive them in and take down the metal detector so they could blend in with the rest of the crowd.

Pat Cipollone is a material witness. He has a huge volume of relevant evidence. And he was there at every level of each of these assaults on democracy and the rule of law.

If there is substantial factual predicate for obstruction of justice or witness tampering, we will take appropriate legal measures at that point.

The committee is well aware that witness tampering is a federal offense.

Witness tampering is a federal offense. It is an offense in the District of Columbia. It`s an offense in all of the states.

Harm reduction policies, as me, as a provider and a local health physician, I can tell you is all about building community trust.
