The House Judiciary Committee has issued its report in support of the single article of impeachment against President Trump
The report details the president’s rhetoric leading up to the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, including his repeated claims of widespread voter fraud and his false assertions that Vice President Pence had the power to unilaterally reject election results.
“As President Trump ramped up his rhetoric and false claims, his supporters were led to believe that the democratic process posed a threat to the country and required intervention,” the report states.

It goes on to specifically cite his speech to supporters before the riot in which the president urged them to proceed to the Capitol, stating that “[a]lthough at one point he suggested that those marching to the Capitol should do so ‘peacefully,’ the overall tenor of his speech was menacing—and, as subsequent events showed, was understood by his supporters as such.”
