Refused to account for it

Subpoenaed by the Select Committee, which said he had taken part in meetings to plan aspects of January 6 and in the effort to bring protesters to Washington. He did not comply, and in December 2022 was referred to the House Ethics Committee for the refusal. The referral lapsed with that Congress on January 3 2023 and was never adjudicated.

Insisted the election was stolen

Said on the morning of the attack that the crowd "look at this as an election that's been stolen from them — and they view it as being stolen from them, not Donald Trump, but from them." He had said the previous month that the president "like so many of us, believes that this election was stolen".
