US Capitol riot probe puts Trump at heart of 'attempted coup'

14 Sept 08:09 Key points summarised by AI

A congressional panel investigating the US Capitol riot asserts Donald Trump's claims of a stolen election were at the core of an "attempted coup" to remain in power.
The committee presented evidence accusing Trump of summoning, assembling, and inciting the mob to march on Congress and obstruct the peaceful transfer of power.
Testimony from former Trump advisors and eyewitnesses, including a documentary filmmaker and a Capitol Police officer, detailed the planning and violent execution of the attack.
The probe aims to demonstrate Trump's involvement in a multi-pronged effort, including spreading election fraud lies and schemes to overturn the 2020 election results.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
