The hearing focused on what former President Donald Trump was doing during the 187 minutes between when his speech ended at the rally on January 6 and when he posted a video on Twitter asking the rioters at the Capitol to leave and go home. Congresswoman Liz Cheney, (R-WY) Vice-Chair of the Select Committee, during closing remarks of the hearing, said the committee has shown testimony from dozens of Republican witnesses – those who served Trump loyally for years.
