A new report has found that organizers of the Jan. 6 rally in support of former President Trump purposely misled authorities about their intentions to march to the Capitol. The report provides evidence that the former president and his supporters planned in advance to direct the crowds to Capitol Hill and worked to hide their intentions. Furthermore, the evidence shows that President Trump undertook actions to prevent Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election and stop the peaceful transfer of power. The report also highlights the Trump White House's attempts to hide its plans for the Capitol riot, which required a huge mass of people to unfold.
