You will also hear about plots to commit seditious conspiracy on January 6th, a crime defined in our laws as conspiring to overthrow, put down or destroy by force the government of the United States, or to oppose by force the authority…

Last night, Vice Chair Liz Cheney said it will focus on the idea that the former President knew he had lost the election, but still engaged in what she called a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information.

In our country, we don’t swear an oath to an individual or a political party. We take our oath to defend the United States Constitution.

Donald Trump will be gone and your dishonor will stay.

Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible, there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.

President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack.

President Trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information. President Trump`s efforts to pressure Vice President Mike Pence. President Trump corruptly pressured state legislators and election officials…

Aware of the rioters` chants to hang Mike Pence, the president responded with this sentiment, quote, 'Maybe our supporters have the right idea.' Mike Pence, quote, 'deserves it.'

What President Trump was doing, what a number of people around him were doing that they knew it was unlawful, they did it anyway.

I think that Congressman Jordan may well be a material witness. He is somebody who was involved in a number of meetings in the lead up to what happened on January 6, involved in planning for January 6, certainly for the objections that…

Mark, the President needs to tell people in the capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy.

As Americans, we all have a duty to ensure that what happened on January 6th never happens again.

There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.

We will not blame the violence that day, violence provoked by Donald Trump, on the officers who bravely defended all of us.

The men involved, including Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen and Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, were appointed by President Trump.
