Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, who chaired the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, addressed the audience at the Democratic National Convention. The committee's 800-page final report recommended four criminal charges against former President Donald Trump to the Justice Department and suggested that he be disqualified from holding office in the future.
Before Thompson's speech, a video was shown depicting the events of January 6, providing a visual reminder of the chaos and violence that unfolded at the Capitol that day.
