The televised probe into the mob attack on the Capitol has dropped plenty of bombshells as insider testimonies pull back the curtain on the efforts of former President Donald Trump and his allies to hold onto power after he lost his reelection bid.

After his arrest, he looked at the facts about the 2020 election and realized he was fed and had believed a lie.
