Congresswoman Elaine Luria said Trump watched the attack on the US Capitol on television as his staff and family “begged him” to intervene.
“President Trump refused to act because of his selfish desire to stay in power,” Luria declared during the House committee‘s eighth hearing on the January 6, 2021 riot.
