NEW YORK (AP) — It ended not with a whimper, but a bang. The last summer session of the House Jan. 6 committee delivered on a promise to provide more eye-opening details about President Trump’s actions during the U.S. Capitol riot. During the session, viewers heard that some Secret Service members feared for their lives during the siege, going so far as to send messages to their families suggesting they might not make it back home. Audiences also got to see some outtakes from an address Trump recorded the day after the riot. As he fumbled for words to denounce the violence he helped launch, a flustered Trump couldn’t bring himself to say that the election “was over.”
