The House Jan. 6 committee’s final report asserts that Donald Trump criminally engaged in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 presidential election and failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol .

The 814 -page report released late Thursday comes after the panel interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses, held 10 hearings and obtained more than a million pages of documents.

The report details a multitude of failings by law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

Many of the rioters came with weapons and had openly planned for violence online before they overwhelmed underprepared law enforcement.

The report also details the hours when Trump watched the violence on television but did nothing to stop it.

The panel has also begun to release hundreds of transcripts of its interviews with White House aides.
