The Parliamentary Committee, which was looking into Donald Trump’s role in the Capitol building attack, unanimously decided to call the former president to testify before it on Thursday.
“Any American person must fully answer for the events of January 6 in front of this committee. We must pay attention to the previous president’s testimony because of this.
The penultimate public hearing before the midterm elections was held by the Parliamentary Committee, which Donald Trump played in the attack on the Capitol building. One of its members said that “sudden” information is expected to be released at this session.
This time, the committee will not hear directly from the witnesses; instead, it will watch video recordings, some of which contain footage shot by a Danish team for a documentary film on Roger Stone, a longtime ally of the former Republican president.
According to a parliamentary source, “We will underline the former president’s mental health and his involvement in these events throughout its growth.”
The committee is attempting to shed light on the former president’s actions prior to, during, and following the shocking Capitol attack.
Among other matters, the committee is studying the relations between Roger Stone, former adviser to Trump and extremist religious groups, “Braud Boys” and “Onti Kipers”, which members of them followed to participate in storming the Capitol building.
In the video recordings filmed by the Danish team immediately before the 2020 presidential elections, Roger Stone’s voice heard that he says he is not interested in voting. He said, “The curse on the vote, let’s move straight to violence.”
