Capitol riot panel blames Trump for 1/6 ‘attempted coup’

国会大厦骚乱小组指责特朗普1/6的“未遂政变”

英语原文:

The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol laid the blame firmly on Donald Trump Thursday night, saying the assault was hardly spontaneous but an “attempted coup” and a direct result of the defeated president’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. With a never-before-seen 12-minute video of extremist groups leading the deadly siege and startling testimony from Trump’s most inner circle, the 1/6 committee provided gripping detail in contending that Trump’s repeated lies about election fraud and his public effort to stop Joe Biden’s victory led to the attack and imperiled American democracy.

周四(6月9日)晚上，负责调查1月6日美国国会暴乱的美国众议院小组坚决指责唐纳德·特朗普，称国会暴乱不是自发的，而是一次“未遂政变”，是这位被击败的前总统试图推翻2020年美国大选结果的行为直接导致了国会暴乱的发生。

With a never-before-seen 12-minute video of extremist groups leading the deadly siege and startling testimony from Trump’s most inner circle, the 1/6 committee provided gripping detail in contending that Trump’s repeated lies about election fraud and his public effort to stop Joe Biden’s victory led to the attack and imperiled American democracy.
