110/ Trump lawyer Patrick Philbin was *also* giving him the same advice—which Trump ignored. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
109/ Now Cassidy Hutchinson, in depo, says Ivanka Trump told her father to "condemn the rioters." She said to others that she was trying to get her dad to say something "more direct" than anything he was willing to say. (Trump did not issue any such new video until 4:17PM). — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
108/ What Trump was told was that he needed to issue a message telling people to leave the Capitol. He was told this at 2PM—a riot was declared at the Capitol at 1:49PM. Cipollone says he told Mark Meadows also that Trump needed to do something. Trump did nothing until after 4PM. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
107/ Pat Cipollone (in depo) is saying he told Trump in no uncertain terms—from the outset of violence at the Capitol from 2PM on January 6 on—that he needed to do something to stop the violence. Cipollone says that everyone else around Trump was telling him the exact same thing. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
106/ At a time Trump knew the Capitol was under armed attack, he first sent out a tweet with a video of his inciting speech, then issued a second tweet attacking VP Pence. Between the first and second tweet, his advisers were *begging* Trump to do something to quell the violence. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
105/ But Trump *did* ask advisers for the numbers of senators so he could call them. And Trump *did* talk to Rudy Giuliani—who thereafter began calling senators. Luria is showing what was being said on Fox News at each moment—as we now *know* that this is what Trump was watching. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
104/ Now evidence of an Eric Hershmann-Pat Cipollone conversation in which the former tells the latter Trump can't take calls from those trying to quell the attack because "he doesn't want anything done." So what *was* Trump doing? He wanted to call senators to get them to delay. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
103/ LURIA: "The president didn't make any efforts to quell the [January 6] attack." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
102/ Now Cipollone is testifying that Trump never called the Pentagon, the AG or DHS on January 6. Now a National Security Council official (name not given) is saying Trump never reached out to the Guard or any law enforcement. Now another Trump aide testifying to the same thing. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
101/ It is clear that the White House wanted no photographs or call logs from this span of time. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
100/ The dining room Trump was in was the one near the Oval—not in the presidential residence—and he was there watching Fox News for *over two and a half hours* on January 6. The presidential diary and call log have *no data* on any calls to/from Trump. And there are *no photos*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
99/ Apparently the USSS took an *hour* after Trump returned from the Ellipse to inform the DCMP that Trump would not be going to the Capitol—before that, it was on the table. Luria says Trump was informed 15 minutes after the Ellipse speech that the Capitol was under full attack. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
98/ Clarification: it is not clear whether the "presidential SUV" Trump used on January 6 was the vehicle known as "the Beast." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
97/ A DCMP sergeant confirms the White House knew people in the crowd were armed and that he had never across 100+ times around Trump and the Beast heard of an argument like this happening. The sergeant says even after he got to the White House, Trump wanted to go to the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
96/ All witnesses agree that Trump wanted to go to the Capitol and things got heated inside the Beast—which led to an argument. Engel apparently hasn't contradicted *any* of the testimony about either this or what Hutchinson says happened inside "the Beast" (the armored vehicle). — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
95/ WITNESS: "The President wanted to lead 10,000 people to the Capitol." The witness confirms the White House knew members of this 10K-person crowd were armed. Luria says there are now multiple witnesses confirming Hutchinson's testimony on Trump attacking Engel in "the Beast." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
94/ Luria says a witness has been found whose depo will be played and whose identity is hidden for security reasons. This person is tied to security at the White House. Per Luria the witness says "The White House was aware of multiple reports of weapons in the crowd [January 6]." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
93/ Matthews says that she was a member of the Trump 2020 presidential campaign for a year, and there befriended White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. In June 2020 Matthews began working under McEnany as her deputy. Matthews was also in the White House on January 6, 2021. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
92/ Pottinger is outlining his duties in the Trump White House. This guy was a *senior* intel official and he is making clear that even now he's proud of what he perceives to be the successful foreign policy of the Trump administration. Pottinger was in the White House January 6. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
91/ Kinzinger says that the Committee will contrast Trump's "dereliction of duty"—a heavy term in the military that both he and Luria served in—with the honorable conduct of others who did their duty on January 6. Cheney is now introducing and swearing in the two live witnesses. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
90/ REP. KINZINGER: "President Trump's *plan* on January 6 was to halt or delay the joint session of Congress....[and] the mob was accomplishing President Trump's purpose, so of *course* he failed to intervene....[then-President Trump] *chose* not to act." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
89/ Now Rep. Kinzinger (R-IL) is speaking. He notes that Rep. McCarthy and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley both knew, and said, on January 6-7 what Trump *should* have done on January 6. Then-Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley says that Trump did "zero" on that day. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
88/ Luria is summarizing the early stages of the attack on the Capitol—what the Capitol attackers wanted and did. But she now says the focus of this hearing is on 187 minutes at the *White House*. She underscores that Trump sat in his dining room, watched TV and ignored advisers. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
87/ During the 187 minutes Trump did nothing, Luria says countless people *pleaded* with him to do something. She is now playing the video Trump released after 187 minutes, which called Democrats "so evil" while telling the rioters to (finally) go home. He said he "loved" them. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
86/ She notes (a) Trump knew the January 6 mob was armed, before (b) he repeatedly told them to march to the Capitol in his speech from the White House Ellipse. The White House was informed in real time of the attack on the Capitol post-Ellipse speech. He knew what was happening. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
85/ Rep. Luria (D-VA) is reviewing Trump's Oath of Office, with a particular focus on his oath to ensure that "the laws be faithfully executed." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
84/ Clearly there will be a focus tonight, along with Trump, on VP Pence and his security detail, on Ivanka's actions at the White House, and on frantic pleas for help from Republican members of Congress calling Trump from the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org
