AFP – General Conspiracy behind Capitol invasion ‘not over’, says CPI chief 09/06/2022 19:41

The chairman of the House of Representatives committee investigating the 2021 occupation of the Capitol on Thursday warned that the January 6 conspiracy that fueled the violence was an ongoing threat to democracy.

Democrat Bennie Thompson said “democracy is at stake” in statements released before the first of a series of summer hearings on the raid on the US legislature.

“The plot to thwart the will of the people is not over. There are people in this country who are power-hungry but don’t love or respect what makes America great,” he said.
