The five most damaging allegations against Trump from the Jan. 6 hearings
1. Ivanka Trump accepted there was no widespread election fraud The president's elder daughter said that she accepted the view of then-Attorney General William Barr that there was no evidence that fraud altered the outcome of the 2020 election. It affected my perspective," Ivanka Trump said on the video, referring to Barr's assessment. "I respect Attorney General Barr so I accepted what he was saying." 2. Trump knew the Jan. 6 crowd had weapons - and wanted to join them at the Capitol anyways Cassidy Hutchinson, who was backstage at the Ellipse rally, said she heard Trump "say something to the effect of, 'I don't effing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me ... They can march to the Capitol from here.' " 3. Trump's own campaign manager balked at fraud claims and was proud to be on 'Team Normal' A memorable phrase from Trump 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien best summed up the schisms that were developing in the then-president's orbit. "I didn't mind being characterized as being part of 'Team Normal', as reporters kinda started to do around that point in time," Stepien said in a video deposition. 4. The 'Election Defense Fund' that didn't exist The nonexistent fund was, at best, a marketing ruse. It was also an effective one. Between the election and early December 2020, the joint fundraising efforts of Trump and the Republican National Committee raised about $207 million. Much of the money seemed to go to Trump's main post-election political action committee, Save America PAC. 5. Trump reportedly thought Mike Pence deserved to hang Under oath, Cassidy Hutchinson said that Pat Cipollone urged more direct action to quell the violence because "they are literally calling for the vice president to be effing hung." Meadows, according to Hutchinson, said "something to the effect of, 'You heard him, Pat. He thinks Mike deserves it. He doesn't think they're doing anything wrong.'
