这众议院1月6日特别委员会周一举行了最后一次公开会议，审议了最后一份报告，该报告指责前总统唐纳德·特朗普深度参与了该小组所说的推翻2020年大选的暴力阴谋。
在会议前夕，特朗普周日在他的真理社交平台上发布了一条消息，“全国各地的共和党人和爱国者必须坚定团结，反对Unselect委员会的暴徒和恶棍。这将是美国历史上的一个黑暗时期，但是黑暗中有光明!!!"
周一，在1月6日的委员会之后对他的行为进行刑事起诉特朗普的竞选团队在一份声明中表示，其行为是“对我们民主的嘲弄”。
特朗普在Truth Social的一份声明中写道，“这些人不明白，当他们追杀我时，热爱自由的人会聚集在我周围。它增强了我的力量。杀不死我的，让我更强大。”
甚至在该委员会于6月份开始一系列高调的公开听证会之前，特朗普就一再指责该小组，称其为党派“政治迫害”，攻击证人并否认有不当行为，同时谎称两年前存在大规模选举欺诈。
与此同时，该委员会采访了数十名证人，听取了他们在电视摄像机前的戏剧性证词，提供了一系列关于特朗普白宫在1月6日之前和当天内部工作的重磅炸弹。
以下是特朗普说过的一些话:
特朗普抨击麦卡锡，要求共和党人为他辩护
在该小组成立后，特朗普表示失望，因为他在委员会中没有辩护人，他将这种情况归咎于众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡
在麦卡锡提议几名共和党人担任该小组成员后，众议院议长南希·佩洛西拒绝了他对共和党众议员吉姆·班克斯的选择。和俄亥俄州的吉姆·乔丹。麦卡锡的回应是拒绝包括他的任何选择。
佩洛西反过来任命怀俄明州的共和党众议员利兹·切尼(Liz Cheney)和伊利诺伊州的亚当·金辛格(Adam Kinzinger)为该委员会成员，以赋予该委员会两党合作的光辉。
特朗普痛斥麦卡锡的政治操纵让委员会完全掌握在他的批评者手中。
“嗯，我认为回想起来，我认为让(共和党人加入委员会)是非常明智的，”特朗普说告诉Punchbowl新闻。
“我认为回过头来看(麦卡锡应该让共和党人上场)只是为了发出自己的声音。共和党人没有发言权。他们甚至没有什么可说的，”他补充道。“当佩洛西错误地不允许他们时，我们应该选择其他人。我们共和党有很多优秀的人。”
麦卡锡后来表示，他对抵制该委员会并不后悔。
特朗普还指责众议院共和党人在调查期间对他和他的记录的辩护不足，称该党的策略“非常愚蠢”，是一个“糟糕的决定”
切尼是特朗普的首要目标
虽然特朗普总体上谴责该委员会，但他经常在切尼身上找到具体的目标，切尼被任命为该委员会的副主席。
切尼利用她的地位对她所说的特朗普对宪法本身构成的威胁进行了特别尖锐的抨击。
特朗普的回应是将切尼赶出国会作为重中之重。在对切尼的初选挑战中，他最终支持了律师哈里特·哈格曼。
与他支持的大多数其他候选人相比，他在哈格曼的竞选活动中投入了更多的政治力量，最终在8月份赢得了胜利，哈格曼击败了切尼，为这位前总统带来了他在中期选举周期中最突出的胜利之一。
特朗普在他的真实社交平台上写道:“祝贺哈里特·哈格曼在怀俄明州取得了巨大而决定性的胜利。”“这对美国来说是一个美妙的结果，也是对由政治流氓和暴徒组成的非选择性委员会的彻底谴责。”
美国广播公司新闻的最新报道
“莉兹·切尼应该为自己的行为方式，以及她对他人怀有恶意、道貌岸然的言行感到羞耻。现在她终于可以消失在政治遗忘的深处了，我敢肯定，她会比现在幸福得多。”
两人之间的不和仍在继续，切尼正在考虑总统竞选，这将使她在共和党初选中与特朗普竞争。
特朗普追捕前司法部长比尔·巴尔
特朗普的最高警察也面临阻力，此前他向委员会作证说，他不认为系统性欺诈导致他的老板连任。
曾在乔治·w·布什政府担任司法部长的比尔·巴尔说，他告诉特朗普，他关于2020年竞选被操纵的说法是“胡说八道”，他“没有看到欺诈的证据”。
特朗普在该委员会播出那段视频采访后回击说，巴尔作为他的司法部长“很糟糕”。
特朗普在Truth Social上说，巴尔“是一个软弱和恐惧的司法部长，他总是被民主党人‘玩弄’和威胁，害怕被弹劾。”
“民主党人在巴尔身上找到了宝藏，他愚蠢可笑地说选举没有问题，&他们离开了他。这对他有效，但对我们的国家无效!”他说。
尽管受到批评，巴尔仍然坚持认为没有特朗普声称的欺诈证据。
特朗普否认了一些来自爆炸性证词的指控
特朗普同样攻击了时任白宫办公厅主任马克·梅多斯的前高级助手卡西迪·哈钦森，他的公开证词也被证明是最具破坏性的。
她在宣誓后发表的言论详细描述了特朗普在叛乱当天的活动，称他试图抓住他乘坐的SUV的方向盘，迫使特勤局在他在白宫附近集会后开车送他去国会大厦。她作证时听到的其他说法包括，他愤怒地向墙壁扔盘子，让番茄酱滴落在白宫的墙上，并意识到在国会大厦袭击前参加他演讲的一些人携带武器，并不在乎。
她作证时无意中听到川普的助手讲述了川普被告知暴徒高呼“绞死迈克·彭斯!”时的反应——他回应说他“活该”——川普在Truth Social上发帖，“我从来没说过，‘迈克·彭斯活该(被绞死)，”称她为“说谎的卡西迪·哈钦森”，并称她为“社会攀登者”
“这些谎言和其他谎言都是在宣誓后说的。司法部会对此做些什么?我们有一个两级司法系统吗?”他写道。
关于特朗普想要改变他的SUV方向的指控迅速成为委员会和观察员的焦点，并可能在最终报告中得到解决。
特朗普没有否认哈钦森的其他说法
特朗普没有否认哈钦森证词的其他部分，包括袭击前表达的对可能出现暴力的担忧。
哈钦森作证说，前纽约市长、特朗普的私人律师鲁迪·朱利安尼在1月6日告诉她“我们要去国会大厦”。
“会很棒的。总统会去那里。他会看起来很强大。他会和成员们在一起。他将和参议员们在一起，”她说他告诉她。
哈钦森还告诉委员会，特朗普不愿意发表任何言论来平息暴力，一旦他的支持者冲进国会。
她作证说，白宫法律顾问Pat Cipollone去找Meadows并告诉他，“我们现在需要下去见总统。”
“马克抬头看着他说，‘他什么也不想做，帕特，’”哈钦森说。
How Trump has responded to the Jan. 6 committee
The House Jan. 6 select committee held its last public meeting Monday where it considered its final report, which accused former President Donald Trump of deep involvement in what the panel says was a violent plot to overturn the 2020 election.
On the eve of the meeting, Trump posted Sunday on his Truth Social platform, "Republicans and Patriots all over the land must stand strong and united against the Thugs and Scoundrels of the Unselect Committee. It will be a dark period in American history, but with darkness comes light!!!"
On Monday, after the Jan. 6 committee made criminal referrals about his conduct, Trump's campaign said in a statement that its actions make "a mockery of our democracy."
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump wrote that "these folks don't get it that when they come after me, the people who love freedom rally around me. It strengthens me. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
Even before the committee began a series of high-profile public hearings in June, Trump has repeatedly railed against the panel, casting it as a partisan "witch hunt," attacking witnesses and denying wrongdoing, all while making false claims of widespread election fraud two years ago.
The committee, meanwhile, has interviewed scores of witnesses and heard their dramatic testimony in front of TV cameras, delivering a slate of bombshells about the inner workings of the Trump White House leading up to Jan. 6 and on the day itself.
Here's some of what Trump has said:
Trump blasts McCarthy, demands Republicans defend him
After the panel's creation, Trump expressed frustration he had no defenders on the committee, a dynamic he blamed on House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
After McCarthy proposed several Republicans to serve on the panel, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected his selections of Reps. Jim Banks, R-Ind., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. McCarthy responded by refusing to have any of his picks included.
Pelosi, in turn, appointed GOP Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, both Trump critics, to the committee to give it a sheen of bipartisanship.
Trump lambasted McCarthy over his political maneuvering it left the committee solely in the hands of his detractors.
"Well, I think in retrospect, I think it would have been very smart to put [Republicans on the committee]," Trump told Punchbowl News.
"I think in retrospect [McCarthy should've put Republicans on] to just have a voice. The Republicans don't have a voice. They don't even have anything to say," he added. "[W]hen Pelosi wrongfully didn't allow them, we should've picked other people. We have a lot of good people in the Republican Party."
McCarthy later said he had no regrets about boycotting the committee.
Trump also knocked House Republicans at large over what he suggested was an inadequate defense of him and his record during the investigation, calling the party strategy "very foolish" and a "bad decision."
Cheney is Trump's top target
While Trump upbraided the committee in general, he often found a specific target in Cheney, who was tapped as the committee's vice chair.
Cheney used her perch to deliver particularly sharp barbs over what she said was the threat Trump posed to the Constitution itself.
Trump responded by making Cheney's ouster from Congress a top priority. He ultimately endorsed attorney Harriet Hageman in a primary challenge to Cheney.
He put more political muscle behind Hageman's campaign than for that of most other candidates he endorsed, ultimately scoring a win in August when Hageman unseated Cheney, delivering the former president one of his most prominent scalps of the midterm cycle.
"Congratulations to Harriet Hageman on her great and very decisive WIN in Wyoming," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "This is a wonderful result for America, and a complete rebuke of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs."
"Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others. Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now."
The feud between the two is ongoing, with Cheney mulling a presidential bid that would pit her against Trump in a GOP primary.
Trump goes after former Attorney General Bill Barr
Trump's top cop also faced pushback after testimony to the committee saying he did not believe systemic fraud cost his boss reelection.
Bill Barr, who had also served as attorney general in the George W. Bush administration, said that he told Trump his claims the 2020 race was rigged were "bull****" and that he "did not see evidence of fraud."
Trump fired back after the committee aired that videotaped interview, saying that Barr "sucked" as his attorney general.
Barr, Trump said on Truth Social, "was a weak and frightened Attorney General who was always being 'played' and threatened by the Democrats and was scared stiff of being Impeached."
"The Democrats hit pay dirt with Barr, he was stupid, ridiculously said there was no problem with the Election, & they left him alone. It worked for him, but not for our Country!" he said.
Despite the criticism, Barr has continued to insist there is no evidence of the fraud Trump alleges.
Trump denies some allegations from bombshell testimony
Trump similarly attacked Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, whose public testimony also proved to be among the most damaging.
Her remarks, made under oath, detailed Trump's activities the day of the insurrection, alleging that he attempted to grab the steering wheel of the SUV he was in to force the Secret Service to drive him to the Capitol after his rally near the White House. Other claims she testified having heard included that he threw a plate at the wall in anger, sending ketchup dripping down the White House walls, and was aware that some of those attending his speech just before the Capitol attack were armed and did not care.
After she testified overhearing that Trump aides recounting his reaction when told rioters were chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" -- that he responded he "deserves" it -- Trump posted on Truth Social, "I NEVER SAID, 'MIKE PENCE DESERVES IT (to be hung)," dubbing her "Lyin' Cassidy Hutchinson" and calling her a "Social Climber."
"These lies, among others, were made UNDER OATH. What is the Justice Department going to do about this? Do we have a two tiered system of Justice?" he wrote.
The allegations over Trump's desire to redirect his SUV swiftly became a focus of the committee and observers and could be addressed in its final report.
Trump doesn't deny other Hutchinson claims
Trump did not deny other parts of Hutchinson's testimony, including over concerns voiced prior to the attack that there could be violence.
Hutchinson testified that Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and Trump personal attorney, told her that "we're going to the Capitol" on Jan. 6.
"It's going to be great. The president is going to be there. He's going to look powerful. He's going to be with the members. He's going to be with the senators," she said he told her.
Hutchinson also told the committee that Trump was reluctant to make any remarks to quell the violence once his supporters stormed Congress.
She testified that White House counsel Pat Cipollone went to Meadows and told him, "We need to go down and see the president now."
"And Mark looked up at him and said, 'He doesn't want to do anything, Pat,'" Hutchinson said.
