Trump calls US Capitol riot hearings as ‘mockery of justice’

Former President Donald Trump has decried the congressional inquiry into the riot by his supporters last year at the United States Capitol as a “mockery of justice”.

In a 12-page missive, Trump said on Monday that instead of focusing on the country’s larger problems, the Democratic-led panel was “a kangaroo Court, hoping to distract the American people from the great pain they are experiencing”.

“The truth is that Americans showed up in Washington, DC in massive numbers … on January 6th, 2021, to hold their elected officials accountable for the obvious signs of criminal activity throughout the Election,” Trump added.

Trump’s comments came following a hearing of the US House Select Committee on the January 6 attack where the dominant theme was that the former president had been informed by advisers and officials that his 2020 election fraud claims were false.
