"All [Democrats] are doing is trying to paint a new political narrative ... because the Democrat agenda has failed," Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donalds said on Fox News in a video clip that was shared by former President Donald Trump's political action committee. Aispuro, who has been with the department for 19½ years, put out an emergency broadcast that included a description of the Camry, Luna said. That led authorities to a house in La Puente, where several people were detained but not arrested, and ultimately released, Luna said. “Based on statements, security camera video in West Covina, witness statements and the firearm recovered by CHP, detectives strongly believe Raymundo Duran is the suspect in the shooting of our deputy,” Luna said.

Shafik repeatedly said that education was key, and she vowed to include lessons on antisemitism at orientations for new students. Shafik replied that she would "like to confirm that" and she was "not sure" if he had been removed. On my watch, for faculty who make remarks that cross the line in terms of antisemitism, there will be consequences,” Shafik said. Rep. Elise Stefanik said Columbia hired Mohamed Abdou as a professor after the terror attack even though she said he posted support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad on October 11. Columbia University President Minouche Shafik said the school is firing a professor who allegedly expressed support for Hamas on social media following the October 7 terror attack on Israel. Davidai called Shafik a “coward” in a fiery speech last year criticizing the university president for failing to quiet “pro-terror” voices at the school.

Penn president, board of trustees chair resign after antisemitism hearing

In 1876, the result of the election was uncertain almost until Inauguration Day, which was in early March back then. To reach a resolution, a long-simmering debate over the future of Reconstruction was put on the table. When Reconstruction was ended in exchange for the presidency, the election was resolved, and the victor, Rutherford B. Hays, assumed the presidency with a margin of one electoral vote.

Former acting defense secretary seeks to "modify" assessment of former President Trump's role on Jan. 6

The conservative network announced Tuesday that the cable channel will only cover the hearings “as news warrants,” but the proceedings will be livestreamed on the network’s other outlets such as Fox Business and Fox Nation. Lawmakers on the committee, however, have stressed in recent days that the hearings will provide dramatic and “disturbing” new evidence around what took place leading up to Jan. 6. "We are in fact in a situation where he continues to use even more extreme language, frankly, than the language that caused the attack," Cheney said Sunday. "And so, people must pay attention. People must watch, and they must understand how easily our democratic system can unravel if we don't defend it."

The video included a brief interview with one of the men who breached the Capitol. "I had been called names before, but never had my patriotism or duty been called into question," Edwards said. She also used her remarks to praise Rep. Liz Cheney for speaking up against Trump. “Prior to Jan. 6 were you asked or instructed by President Trump to take any action at the department to advance election fraud claims or to seek to overturn any part of the 2020 election results? "There's a difference between marching the Capitol and assaulting the capitol. That's the delineation I'm trying to make, despite the partisan attack that I was just subjected to," Miller said later. "For your written testimony for today – for today, this morning, you stated the following about the President, quote, I personally believe his comments encouraged the protesters that day," Lynch said.

Massad is still listed as chair of the Academic Review Committee on a Columbia site. In a prior line of questioning Shafik said that "he is no longer chair of that committee and does not have a leadership role." She declined to say if any further disciplinary actions were taken but said he has "not repeated anything like that ever since." She confirmed Massad is still on the Columbia faculty but was unsure if he's currently teaching. Columbia's president, Minouche Shafik, said Massad had been "spoken to" by members of his department of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies.

Sandra Garza, the partner of late Officer Brian Sicknick, who died on Jan. 7, 2021, after engaging with rioters, has arrived at the hearing. She  was accompanied by members of the Capitol police, including Capitol police officer Harry Dunn, as well as retired Metropolitan PD officer Michael Fanone. "Not only did President Trump refuse to tell the mob to leave the Capitol, he placed no call to any element of the United States government to instruct that the Capitol be defended," Cheney said. In a statement issued late Thursday night, Trump called the select committee members "political hacks" and accused them of not playing "any of the many positive witnesses and statements" during the hearing. "At no point that day did I ever think about the politics of that crowd, even the things that were being said did not resonate in the midst of that chaos. But what did resonate was the fact that thousands of Americans were attacking police officers who were simply doing their job," Fanone said. Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chair of the Jan. 6 select committee, vowed to the officers who testified that they would get answers about what happened during the insurrection.

Thompson says "Trump was at the center of this conspiracy"

Edwards still hasn't been able to return to her regular duties prior to Jan. 6, 2021, after she was injured by rioters. "I was called a lot of things on January 6, 2021, and the days thereafter," she said, including "Nancy Pelosi's dog," a "traitor," a "hero," and a "villain." U.S. Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards recalled how her patriotism was called into question on Jan. 6, 2021, and in the days after. Filmmaker and documentarian Nick Quested told the committee he was "confused" that a couple hundred Proud Boys members were marching in the direction of the Capitol before Trump even began speaking.

It also played video of her being violently slammed to the ground by protesters breaking through a barrier outside of the Capitol, knocking her unconscious — the first of several injuries she sustained that day. Several GOP figures turned turned to Fox News and other sympathetic media to make their case — as Fox's main cable news channel opted not to air the hearing in full, as other networks did. In most cases they didn't offer rebuttals to the specific claims or evidence offered during the nighttime hearing.

The committees’ votes Wednesday on contempt of Congress come a day before Hunter Biden is scheduled to make his first court appearance on tax charges filed by a special counsel in Los Angeles. He is facing three felony and six misdemeanor counts, including filing a false return, tax evasion, failure to file and failure to pay. One Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, insisted that Hunter Biden be quickly arrested.

Four officers who responded on Jan. 6 died by suicide within seven months of the attack. Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the House select committee, asked the four officers testifying at the hearing today what they want the committee to uncover in their investigation. Fanone also described his experience on Jan. 6 and walked lawmakers through the violent footage captured on his body camera that shows rioters attacking him. "But yet they tortured me. They beat me. I was struck with a taser device at the base of my skull numerous times. And they continued to do so, until I yelled out that I have kids," the officer said.

Our country has had angry public fights over contested presidential elections before. "The Liebengood family wants Howie's death to not have been in vain," she wrote, according to the letter obtained by CBS News. Capitol Police to designate her husband's death as "in the line of duty," and wrote "the UCSP must be held accountable for its actions and structural reforms instituted" to address the mental health of its officers.

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin asked DC police officer Daniel Hodges about why he is repeatedly referring to the Jan. 6 rioters as "terrorists" during his hearing testimony today. In his opening remarks, Rep. Bennie Thompson, chair of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, called the attack that day a "culmination of an attempted coup." House Republicans have repeatedly said the select committee is "ignoring" relevant questions about security decisions that were not made before Jan. 6 and the lack of communication and coordination across federal agencies to anticipate possible trouble and violence. The widows of Capitol police officers Howard Liebengood and Jeff Smith, who both died by suicide following the Capitol attack, will be in attendance at Thursday night's hearing.

"Donald Trump was at the center of that conspiracy. And ultimately, Donald Trump, the president of the United States, spurred a mob of domestic enemies of the Constitution to march down to the Capitol and subvert American democracy,” Thompson said. Thompson also pointed to the former president as the center of the conspiracy that the 2020 election was stolen from him. The clip was the first time the committee presented any testimony from Ivanka Trump, though more is expected. In fact, she cited testimony from administration staff who were in the West Wing on Jan. 6 saying that Trump was yelling and angry at advisers who told him he needed to take action to quell the violence. Towards the end of her opening remarks, Rep. Liz Cheney offered a stark message to members of her party who continue to support former President Donald Trump and downplay the events of Jan. 6.

Gore conceded and George W. Bush assumed the presidency, though the traumas of that recount have infected much of the "rigged" election rhetoric – from both the left and the right – ever since. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln wasn't even on distributed ballots in ten southern states. Lincoln assumed the presidency amid the creation of a breakaway country, the Confederate States of America.

If Trump has his way, staging coups and ordering murders could be immune from prosecution. Democratic-appointed justices pressed his lawyer, John Sauer, on those hypotheticals at Thursday’s hearing. Incredibly, Sauer said they might qualify as “official acts” that are off-limits for prosecutors.
