CBSN
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol unveiled testimony from top officials in the Trump administration at its high-profile prime-time hearing on Thursday, with lawmakers making the case that former President Donald Trump was at the center of a "conspiracy" to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The footage offered a preview of the committee's plans to unveil the findings of its monthslong investigation over the course of several upcoming hearings, drawing upon the mountain of evidence that congressional investigators have obtained from interviews with more than 1,000 witnesses, including some of the key figures in Trump's attempt to hold onto power.
In one clip played during Thursday's hearing, former Attorney General William Barr told committee that he told Trump his claims that the election was stolen were "bullsh**" and that he "didn't want to be a part of it."
