What’s happening: The committee, which holds a prime-time hearing Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, has painstakingly traced how these groups — including the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers — interacted with Trump’s tweets on Reddit and other message boards.
- Trump sent a variety of tweets after the election that riled up supporters. “BE STRONG!” he implored on Jan. 6, 2021.
Here are two other committee areas of interest:
1. Efforts by Trump and aides to destroy documents.
- Trump often tore up White House documents that should have been preserved as presidential records.
2. Trump’s consideration of invoking the Insurrection Act, a federal law that allows the president to deploy the military domestically.
- Committee members have studied how close Trump came to invoking the act immediately after the election and leading up to Jan. 6.
