How the Jan. 6 committee proved Trump's intent

TK [View in browser]( [Image]( October 15, 2022 THE LATEST [Alternate text] How the Jan. 6 committee proved Trump's intent by Zeeshan Aleem One thing that the Jan. 6 committee did particularly well was not only prove that Trump was told by people in his circle that he'd lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, [Zeeshan Aleem says](, but also prove that Trump knew he'd lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. Aleem [says]( that "focusing on what Trump was told still permitted the theoretical possibility that he didn't believe it, and that he was irrational and blinded by emotion," but the committee wisely did more than that. "It pooled together and framed critical pieces of information to establish something important: Trump's malicious intent in the run-up to and on the day of the 2021 insurrection."
