The House Committee investigating the Capitol Riots believes President Trump stood idle for 187 minutes

Former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly waited over three hours before telling his supporters to go home on January 6.

The fresh details are part of the hearings into the U.S. Capitol Riots, where pro-Trump supporters stormed the heart of U.S. democracy last year.

The panel has argued then-President Trump left the rally, watched the attacks unfold from the White House and then called on his supporters to stop.

“He could not be moved to rise from his dining room table, and walk the few steps down to the press room.”
PANEL CHAIRMAN Bennie Thompson

Bennie Thompson is the Chairman of the Panel, who says the committee’s work will not stop and will reconvene in September.

Two former Trump White House insiders testified during the hearing, which was televised as a primetime in the U.S.

Republican Vice-Chair Liz Cheney says there is still a stack of evidence to show. She says there was an “angry armed mob that President Trump sent to the Capitol… that mob was violent and destructive, and many came armed.”

President Trump denies any wrongdoing in the riots, and has called the Democratic-led committee a “kangaroo court”.

It is understood Trump has tried to contact one of the witnesses in the investigation.
