President Joe Biden said on Saturday the video and other testimonies presented during the January 6 hearing last week was “devastating,” adding the committee has made an “overwhelming” case.
Last week Thursday
the committee unanimously voted to subpoena former President Donald Trump to
speak at the panel after making a case that the former president mobilized his
supporters to overturn his defeat in the 2020 elections.
Responding
to a question about his thoughts about the hearing which had its final hearing
as the Midterms approaches, Mr. Biden said during an unannounced stop at a Baskin-Robbins
in Portland, Oregon: “I think the testimony, the video are absolutely
devastating. And I’ve been going out of my way not to comment, see what
happens, but it’s just – I think it’s been devastating,” CNN reported
The House
Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 violent attack on Congress
revealed new evidence and testimony from former Trump White House aide Cassidy
Hutchinson. Hutchinson said Mr. knew he had lost the 2020 presidential election
but in spite of that continued his efforts to overturn his defeat using his
baseless widespread voter fraud narrative.
The January
panel also showed footage of congressional leaders chaotically moving to take
refuge at a safe room where they made frantic efforts to stop the ongoing
violence by coordinating with other federal and local government officials to
provide security. The committee also revealed new evidence of a Trump plan to
declare victory irrespective of the outcome of the election results.
“I mean, the
case has been made, it seems to me fairly overwhelming,” Biden said on Saturday,
according to the CNN.
Responding
to the subpoena in a letter released last Friday, Mr. Trump described the
committee a group of “political hacks and thugs” who are involved in a
politically motivated “Witch Hunt.”
