What happened on January 6, 2021? The committee of inquiry into the storming of the American Capitol has questions about the course of the historic day – including to Donald Trump Jr., the ex-president’s son.
According to media reports, a son of former US President Donald Trump has answered questions from the investigative committee about the attack on the US Capitol. This was reported by the broadcasters CNN and ABC, citing unspecified sources.
CNN reported Donald Trump Jr. was questioned over a video link for more than three hours on Tuesday. According to ABC information, the ex-president’s son voluntarily answered the questions, i.e. without a criminal summons.
On January 6, 2021, supporters of the then Republican President Donald Trump stormed the seat of parliament in the capital Washington. At the time, they wanted to prevent Democrat Joe Biden’s November 2020 election victory from being confirmed. Five people were killed in the attack, including a police officer. Trump had to face impeachment over the attack because he had previously incited his supporters in a speech. At the end of the trial he was acquitted.
Donald Trump Jr. was backstage with his father and other confidants immediately before the speech in Washington, according to videos. Before him, other members of the Trump family have appeared before the committee. Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner had been questioned in recent weeks. Donald Trump Jr.’s partner, Kimberly Guilfoyle, has also presented herself to the panel.
The investigative body in the US House of Representatives is to clarify the background of the attack on the Capitol. The first public hearings of the committee are to take place in June.
