The January 6th Report
by Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol
View on GoodreadsThe House select committee's final report is an answer to one question, what caused January 6, and its answer is one man, Donald Trump. Its nine members investigated for more than a year, and you get at least eight distinct plans to overturn his 2020 loss, from fake electors to pressure on state officials and Vice President Pence.
Core ideas
- He knew: The committee finds Trump kept making claims of election fraud after he knew they lacked evidence.
- 187 minutes: While the violence went on, Trump waited 187 minutes to intervene, despite appeals from his advisers and his own family.
- This edition: Celadon published it with The New Yorker, adding a preface by David Remnick and an epilogue by Jamie Raskin to a volume heavy with endnotes.
