The House committee probing the assault on the U.S. Capitol laid out a searing, prime-time indictment on Thursday of Donald Trump's refusal to halt or condemn the violence and insisted he should be held accountable for a gross dereliction of presidential duty.
Committee chairman Bennie Thompson, speaking at the televised finale of a series of public hearings, said Mr. Trump "recklessly blazed a path of lawlessness and corruption" as he sought to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. election.
The Mississippi congressman, addressing the committee virtually because he has Covid-19, said there must be "accountability" for what he called an attack on democracy.
