Capitol riots: Did Trump's words at rally incite violence?

Those words have now played a central part in his second impeachment, which happened after a day of debate in Congress.

So what did he say? Here are five key quotes, followed by some legal analysis from Professor Garrett Epps of the University of Baltimore.
