Interview transcripts released by House investigators in recent days give further insight into the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and the weeks leading up to it, as Trump tried to overturn his defeat in the presidential election.

He did explain why he texted Meadows the afternoon of Jan. 6, as the attack was unfolding, to say that his father needed to "condemn this s---" immediately and that Trump's tweets had not been strong enough. "My father doesn't text," Trump Jr. said.
