"The defendant obstructed, influenced or impeded, or attempted to obstruct, influence or impede, an official proceeding of the United States, and… the defendant did so corruptly," the Jan. 6 Committee said. “Did Donald Trump, through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress’ official proceeding to count electoral votes?” Cheney asked.
As if that wide-ranging conspiracy weren’t enough, the committee detailed a third prong in the former president’s plan to thwart the peaceful transfer of power. The former president’s official office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast.
