The first hearing of the House select committee on January 6 ended after two hours of testimony on Thursday following bomb revelations made by Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney. Former President Donald Trump has expressed outrage after the commission released excerpts from interviews with former Attorney General Bill Barr, Ivanka Trump’s daughter and his son-in-law Jared Kouchner. Trump called Barr “weak” and “cowardly” after he told the House panel that Mr. Trump’s false allegations of stolen elections were “bulls ***.” Ms Trump, one of her father’s most trusted advisers, also said she did not believe the 2020 election had been stolen and respected Bar. Her father countered that he had “left” before the 2020 elections and that it was respect for Bar. In her inaugural address, Republican MP Cheney noted that many members of her party had asked Mr. Trump for pardon for their efforts to overthrow the election: “Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the defenseless: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonesty will remain. ” About 20 million Americans tuned in to watch, the scores show – equivalent to the Sunday Night Football audience.
