Donald Trump has given a lengthy speech criticising the House Investigation into the January 6th riot at the US Capitol and called on Republicans to investigate the committee.
Speaking in Nashville, Tennessee at the Evangelical Christian Road to Majority conference on Friday, the former president used the bulk of his 90-minute speech to ridicule the hearings as an “egregious abuse of power” and also took aim at Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
The hearings so far have not painted a pretty picture for Trump, whose supporters stormed the Capitol building on 6th January 2021, resulting in the deaths of five people.
Revelations so far have included Trump allegedly knowing that trying to overturn the election results would be illegal but proceeded anyway, he was told to push to the conspiracy by an “intoxicated” Rudy Giuliani and that his own daughter Ivanka didn’t believe what he was saying.
