Trump’s actions and record of statements that cast doubt on the 2020 election results “provides an abundant basis to seek the nonpublic records of the person whom the attackers sought to maintain in the White House, and whom many have claimed sent them to attack Congress,” the House wrote in the brief.
To the extent the House select committee is singling out Trump, well, that’s because of his actions, the attorneys wrote.
“Mr. Trump is — as of now — a case of one. He is — as of now — the only failed Presidential candidate not to concede, to spend months spreading lies about the election, to encourage a self-coup that would illegally keep him in office, or to inspire a mob to attack the Capitol,” the House brief states. “There is no one more important to study to develop legislation that will prevent the repetition of such acts.”
The House included examples that select committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., described in a floor statement, with which Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss, associated himself.
Congress might want to revise the mechanics of the electoral counting, or enhance the legal consequences for a president who reportedly knew an attack was occurring yet took no action to stop it, the House wrote.
