The FBI resisted opening an investigation into former President Donald Trump's role in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot for more than a year, according to The Washington Post.
The report details how Department of Justice officials shut down an early plan for a task force focused on the former president and those closest to him. Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig told MSNBC on Monday that those officials were finally spurred into action once the House Select Committee launched its own probe into the Jan 6 attacks.
