Sen. Dianne Feinstein's husband, investment banker Richard Blum, invested up to $50,000 in polling firm The Generation Lab. But the Democratic lawmaker didn't disclose the purchase until this month, weeks after a federal deadline. Feinstein has not yet been contacted by the Senate Ethics Committee on whether she will face a fine, Mentzer added. Members of Congress are generally allowed to buy and sell individual stocks — to the chagrin of some government reform advocates — so long as they publicly disclose the transactions. Not until May did Feinstein publicly disclose her husband's Facebook stock purchase, investigative journalism outfit Sludge revealed later in 2018.
The protests turned into riots, leading to the Capitol building being evacuated as insurrectionists stormed the building in an attempted coup. Rioters left a trail of destruction inside of the Capitol as they entered congressional offices. Journalists returning to the Capitol building the next day documented the destruction remaining. In the hours following, the Capitol building was attacked by thousands of insurrectionists, ultimately breaching the building at 1:30 p.m. Many documented their findings, sharing them on social media:—Leigh Ann Caldwell (@LACaldwellDC) January 7, 2021—Leigh Ann Caldwell (@LACaldwellDC) January 7, 2021—Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) January 7, 2021—Leigh Ann Caldwell (@LACaldwellDC) January 7, 2021—Leigh Ann Caldwell (@LACaldwellDC) January 7, 2021
The legislation establishing it directed the committee to report on the entire set of "facts, circumstances, and causes" surrounding the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. The January 6 committee report contains extensive documentation of forewarnings of violence that were percolating up from confidential sources, open-source analysts, and senior officials. On January 4, Senator Mark Warner, chair of the Senate intelligence committee, called the FBI's deputy director with his concerns. As the committee notes, a threat analyst noted a "tenfold uptick in violent online rhetoric targeting Congress and law enforcement." Looming over the January 6 committee's report is the report by the 9/11 Commission, which was far from perfect, but much more comprehensive and unsparing.
