The hearings on the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021 are in full swing at prime time on American television. The hearings are chaired by a special review committee. It will produce a report on when Donald Trump's supporters broke into the Congress building to stop the appointment of Joe Biden as the new president.

Viewers have seen testimonies from police officers who slipped in blood as they defended the congress building from the coup attempt. Trump's then Attorney General William Barr has testified that his boss "lost touch with reality" and rejected the allegation of electoral fraud. And the ex-president's daughter Ivanka Trump, who held a position in the White House, has said that her father is wrong that the election was stolen.

The committee has questioned election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who were subjected to an avalanche of hatred after Trump accused them of election fraud. They are still worried about the death threats and harassment of Trump's supporters.

Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has said he wanted Trump to win but refused to take part in his conspiracy to retain power. Raffensperger said no when the president called in person and tried to pressure him to "find the 11,000 votes that are missing".

The committee is expected to make its recommendations in September. The question that remains to be solved is who knew what, and when they knew it. Then it is up to the Department of Justice to decide whether to proceed with a regular trial to demand responsibility from Trump and his aides.

The United States is seen by many as a model for freedom and democracy. If a totalitarian regime were to gain a foothold in the world's most powerful country, it would be devastating for the entire planet and for all of us who live here.

Therefore, it is especially important that those responsible for the attempted coup in Washington DC are brought to justice and convicted of their crimes.

Donald Trump tried to convince the world that the election was stolen. But the congressional hearings reveal the naked truth. It was Donald Trump who tried to steal the election from the American people.
