Not a nice Christmas present for the ex-President of the USA...

Just before the holidays, the investigative committee decided about the storming of the US Capitol and published its final report. It says: Donald Trump (76) was criminally involved in "multiple conspiracies."

The 845-page report was released Thursday evening after the panel interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses, held 10 hearings, and received vast documents.

At its last public hearing on Monday, the panel recommended criminal prosecution of former US President Donald Trump on four counts.

The witnesses, including the Republican's closest associates, law enforcement officials, and some of the rioters, detailed Trump's actions in the weeks leading up to the Capitol storm - and how he directly influenced those who brutally gained access to the building on January 6, 2021, Washington DC procured.

According to the report, the main reason for the riots was "one man": Trump. However, the uprising seriously threatened democracy and "endangered the lives of American lawmakers," the nine-member panel concluded.

The report also states that in the two months between the election and the riot, "President Trump or his associates took at least 200 apparent acts of public or private outreach, pressure, or condemnation aimed at either state legislatures or targeting state or local election officials to overturn state election results.”

The committee said that Trump's repeated false claims about voter fraud have resonated with his supporters and have been shared on social media.

On January 6, 2021, Trump supporters stormed the seat of the US Congress, where the Republican's election defeat by Joe Biden was to be authenticated. A crowd incited by Trump violently entered the building, killing five people. The committee had been investigating the incident for the past 18 months.
