DONALD TRUMP was criminally engaged in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the results of the 2020 United States presidential election, according to a damning official report.

The US House of Representatives January 6 committee’s final report, published on Thursday, also said that the former president failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the US Capitol in Washington DC. 

The 814-page report concludes an extraordinary 18-month investigation into the role of Mr Trump in the violent attempted coup two years ago.
