The House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol issued a more than 800-page final report on Thursday, delivering a detailed case that former US President Donald Trump incited the violence in a failed attempt to hold onto power.
The committee also said Congress should consider whether to bar Trump and others tied to the January 6 attack from public office, aimed at preventing future attempts to overturn a US election. The committee called for assessing whether anyone — possibly including Trump — who took an oath of public office and later stoked the insurrection should be disqualified from future government service under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. It also recommended closing loopholes in the congressional count of presidential electors, while also strengthening oversight and training of the Capitol Police.
The report culminates an investigation that spanned a year and a half and captured public attention with disclosures of Trump’s behind-the-scenes fury and his efforts to pressure state officials and the Justice Department to overturn the election.
