“The violent crimes that took place during the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol were part of a broader criminal conspiracy to overturn the will of the voters. That conspiracy started at the very top, with former President Donald Trump. It included members of his staff and legal team. It included members of Congress. It included far-right-wing activists who were riled up by talk of civil war,” said Jealous. “It is urgently important that Americans learn everything we can about the scheming and planning that led up to the violent attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. And it is important that we remain watchful about the steps they are taking now to give them a better chance at succeeding next time.”
