The Jan. 6 panel received 'significant testimony' suggesting the White House was told to take action during the Capitol riot, the committee's chairman said. 'It's highly unusual for anyone in charge of anything to watch what's going on and do nothing.”

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection has received "significant testimony" to suggest the White House was told to take action during the deadly Capitol riot, the chairperson said on SundayIt's highly unusual for anyone in charge of anything to watch what's going on and do nothing," Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chairs the panel, told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

"We want to verify all of it, so when we produce our report and have the hearings, the public will have an opportunity to see for themselves," he added. Asked by host Dana Bash whether this would contribute to a possible criminal referral for then-President Donald Trump's actions on that day, the Mississippi Democrat said: "We don't know ... If there's anything we come upon as a committee that we think would warrant a referral to the Department of Justice, we'll do that."

CNN is the propaganda arm of the Democrat party. When will there be a congressional investigation of the BLM riots? They caused billions in damages and cost more lives than the 1/6 demonstrations.

Sustitute 'highly unusual' to watch and do nothing with 'criminally seditious.'

No wonder Putin was such a huge trump lover. Get those records ... SC come on. What's the secret

Weird how Trump wasn't evacuated when it happened. 🤔 Like it was his plan. 🤔

'It's highly unusual for anyone in charge of anything to watch what's going on and do nothing.” What a very meta way to talk about the 1/6 committee.

Perhaps we can see the evidence of the WH being in charge of the riot.

We saw it during the summer of 2020. Nobody did anything as Washington was set on fire
