WASHINGTON — The highest-profile congressional investigation since Watergate concluded Thursday that former President Trump intentionally spread false claims about the 2020 election and provoked a mob of his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol.
The long-anticipated, 845-page eight-chapter report from the House select committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection provides a road map for potential criminal charges against Trump and others.
Written in a narrative style, rather than the dry bureaucratic tone that characterizes most investigative reports of this magnitude, the document elaborates on the story the committee laid out in its televised hearings earlier this year.
