Perhaps the most damning revelations Thursday were accounts of Mr. Trump’s behavior during the Capitol invasion. The then-president made not a single call to any federal agency to quell the violence, according to the committee’s vice chairwoman, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.). Vice President Mike Pence, one of the mob’s targets, tried in Mr. Trump’s stead. As he watched the riot on television, Mr. Trump apparently approved of chants to hang Mr. Pence — “maybe our supporters have the right idea,” Ms. Cheney quoted him as saying — and reportedly yelled at advisers begging him to call for an end to the carnage.
Meantime, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified that White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was worried about optics, asking the military to help “establish the narrative” that the president was still in charge.
