Congress Comm. Reveals Republican Lawmakers Involvement in Capitol Storming

The head of the committee charged with investigating the events of the storming of US Congress buildings on January 6  this year said that the committee had obtained revealing information about the involvement of Republican representatives in facilitating the demonstration process and then stormed the building.

It is worth noting that the storming of the Capitol left  5 dead and about 140 members of the security forces injured, according to The Independent, a UK newspaper today, Wednesday.

Democratic Representative "Benny Thompson", chair of the committee, said that the information uncovered the role of members of the US House of Representatives in these events.

Thompson added that most of the information had been issued from the limited testimony of the former head of the White House staff, Mark Meadows, who is facing a charge of contempt of court for not responding to the latter's summons to testify in detail about the events.

Thompson pointed out that the messages that Meadows provided before he declined to appear before the committee shed light on the role played by the White House, some Republican representatives, and media thought of pro-conservative trend in the events of the storming of the Capitol at the beginning of this year.

The chairman of the investigating committee unveiled the content of a text message to the son of former President Donald Trump to the White House, demanding that his father should condemn these demonstrations because they were out of control.

Others from Fox News demanded the former President Trump to intervene and demand that these crowds leave the square in front of the Capitol since their actions constituted of a threat to his legacy and his presidency.

The committee referred to other letters of Republican lawmakers with former White House chief of staff Meadows expressing their shock at the results of the elections that brought Democratic President "Joe Biden" and their failure to change the outcome of the elections and to stop the violent events in the Capitol Building.

One of the messages revealed a conversation between Meadows and a leader of one of the gatherings, in which the latter tells Meadows that things are out of control and that he urgently needs “directions.”
