Trump’s campaign of pressure on government officials took place in many key states where he had lost to Joe Biden. The committee plans to focus on Trump’s efforts to overthrow the election, as well as the roles played by Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer and then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Aides said the commission intended to show that the then President had been warned of his actions, falsely alleging electoral fraud and pressure on state and local officials, but that he had done so anyway. Aides to the witnesses, who testified in person from Arizona and Georgia on Tuesday, will be able to speak on the White House campaign of pressure, as well as on the reaction received from Trump supporters. Witnesses from Georgia include Raffensperger and his chief operating officer, Gabe Sterling, who both faced relentless attacks by Trump after the state-certified election. Fulton county candidate Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss, who was falsely accused by Trump of ballot fraud, will also testify about her reactions. Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican, will testify about the pressure he received from Trump and Giuliani, according to committee aides. The commission plans to present video testimonies with testimonies from officials in other states where Trump and his allies pressured government officials to try to block Biden’s election victory.
The Meadows connection
Adam Schiff, a member of the committee that will lead Tuesday’s hearing, told the Los Angeles Times on Monday that the hearing would show how Meadows had played a “familiar role” in trying to pressure lawmakers and state officials. Georgia. The California Democrat said the commission would issue new text messages indicating that Meadows wanted to send “Make America Great Again” autograph hats to those running for office in Georgia. The committee’s aides said the hearing would “prove his involvement” in Georgia ahead of January 6th. Meadows contacted Raffensperger several times after the 2020 election, according to text messages received by CNN, and participated in Trump’s call in January 2021, where the former president asked Raffensperger to “find” the votes he needed the then President to win. As the call continued, Meadows was texting the deputy secretary of state, urging him to end the call, which is now at the heart of Fulton County’s inquiry into whether any of the actions taken by Trump or his allies are related to the election of Georgia. criminal.
Testimony of those who reacted to Trump’s attacks
Witnesses will be able to testify first hand on Tuesday about the impact of Trump’s campaign and the false allegations about the election – as everyone has been attacked and threatened. Aides said Bowers, Arizona’s foreign minister, would be able to testify about his “harassment campaign” before Jan. 6 and in the months that followed. Rafensperger and Sterling were attacked by Trump and his allies for certifying Georgia’s election. Sterling warned at a press conference in December 2020 that “everything has gone too far” after local election officials were threatened and harassed. Moss, who was running for office in Fulton County in 2020, will testify that her mother’s life was turned upside down and they were forced into hiding after Moss was accused by Trump of carrying out a fake ballot paper, according to committee aides. She and another election official sued Giuliani last year. In a written statement Monday, Moss said false stories accusing her of participating in voter fraud had led to her death threats.
Raffensperger’s victory round
Raffensperger testifies after easily defeating GOP spokesman Jody Hice in a qualifying challenge backed by Trump last month. Trump had made the ouster of Rafensperger and Gov. Brian Kemp one of his top priorities after Georgia GOP officials denied his allegations of fraud in the 2020 state election and validated the U.S. election. But Kemp and Raffensperger easily won their races, marking a rare occasion where Trump was defeated in his efforts to oust the Republicans who crucified him after the election. Interestingly, Georgia is holding a by-election on Tuesday, an election for which Rafensperger and Sterling are ostensibly responsible for running at the same time as they are voting before the House selection committee.
Fake voters are plotting
In addition to campaigning for government officials, the select committee plans to focus on Tuesday’s hearing in a bid to cast a ballot in favor of Trump voters, which has emerged as a cornerstone of the broader plan to overthrow the 2020 election. CNN previously reported that Trump campaign officials had overseen efforts to field illegal voters in seven states that Trump lost. The idea was that when Congress convened to certify the Jan. 6 election, states would have electoral duels so that they would not be automatically awarded to Biden. Federal prosecutors are examining the fake Electoral College certifications created by Trump allies who falsely declared him the winner of seven states he lost in 2020. The fake certificates were sent to the National Archives in the weeks following the election and had no effect on the election. The Fulton County Attorney’s Office in Georgia, which is conducting a separate criminal investigation into Trump’s attempt to overthrow the 2020 election, is examining the attempt to expose fake voter lists as part of its investigation.
The hearings will not be chronological
Last week, the commission focused on the campaign of pressure faced by then-Vice President Mike Pence by Trump and his allies in the days leading up to Jan. 6. Tuesday’s hearing will turn the clock back to look at what happened in the states – before Trump’s attention was focused on Pence. Out-of-committee hearings are more likely to be due to scheduling issues than anything else. Last week, for example, the committee originally scheduled to hold a hearing for the Department of Justice the day before Pence’s hearing. Now this hearing is expected this Thursday. The change means the committee is focusing its hearings on the various issues of the campaign to overthrow the election, rather than telling a natural chronological story of the plan that led to what happened on January 6th. However, the last two hearings will focus on the day of the Capitol Uprising: first on the extremists who attacked the Capitol and then on Trump’s response – or lack thereof – inside the White House.
