Weren't there some attorney generals involved also?

Republican AGs group sent robocalls urging protesters to the Capitol. GOP officials now insist they didn’t know about it.

The trial is about DJT on one issue and one issue only: did he incite an insurrection at the Capitol to overturn the results of an election?

The answer is yes.

and hopefully barring him from ever holding office again.

Everyone else including the Senators like Hawley, Cruz, et al cannot be the focus of this proceeding.

“Ginni Thomas apologized to the staff of her husband, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, after supporting the rally before the Capitol riot.”

https://www.businessinsider.com/ginni-thomas-apologizes-clarence-thomas-supreme-court-staff-capitol-rally-2021-2

“Virginia Thomas, a conservative legal activist and the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, has expressed regret over her role in discord among Justice Thomas’s former law clerks because of her support for President Donald J. Trump and the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the storming of the Capitol.

She made her apology after the mob attack on the Capitol on a private email list called Thomas Clerk World. Her comments were first reported by The Washington Post and confirmed by a former clerk to the justice.”
