The committee has adjourned its fourth public hearing that focused on tying former President Donald Trump and his campaign to efforts by Republican electors to cast fake ballots across key battleground states in the 2020 election.

Thursday’s hearing is scheduled for 3 p.m. EST.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) denied involvement in delivering a slate of fake electors to then-Vice President Mike Pence.

“The senator had no involvement in the creation of an alternate slate of electors and had no foreknowledge that it was going to be delivered to our office. This was a staff-to-staff exchange. His new Chief of Staff contacted the Vice President’s office,” a spokesperson for Johnson said, per CNN’s Manu Raju.

During the hearing Tuesday, the House select Jan. 6 committee displayed a video in that showed communications from a Johnson staffer offering to deliver fake electors to Pence.

“This staffer stated that Sen. Johnson wished to hand-deliver to the vice president the fake electors’ votes from Michigan and Wisconsin,” a narrator in the video explained. “The vice president’s aide unambiguously instructed them not to deliver the fake votes to the vice president. Even though the fake electoral slates were transmitted to Congress and the executive branch, the vice president held firm and his position that his role was to count lawfully submitted electoral votes.”

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) wrapped up Tuesday’s hearing calling former President Donald Trump’s efforts to use the power of the presidency to stay in office “without a doubt, unconstitutional.”

“It was unpatriotic and it was fundamentally un-american and when he used the power of his presidency to put enormous pressure on state, local and local election officials and his own vice president it became downright dangerous,” Schiff said. “On January 6, that pressure became deadly.”

Moss discussed how because of “lies” perpetuated about her and her mother, also an election worker, has led to threats and harassment directed at them and their family.

“I haven’t been anywhere at all. I’ve gained about 60 pounds. I just don’t do nothing anymore. I don’t want to go anywhere, I second guess everything that I do,” Moss commented. “It’s affecting my life in a major way, in every way, all because of lies. Me doing my job, same thing I’ve been doing forever.

In a prior taped interview, Moss’s mother, Ruby Freeman, testified that she had to leave her home due to threats ahead of the inauguration.

“Do you know how it feels to have the President of the United States to target you? The President of the United States is supposed to represent every American,” Ruby said. “But he targeted me. Lady Ruby, a small business owner, a mother, a proud American citizen, who stand up to help Fulton County running election in the middle of the pandemic.”

Moss and her mother were singled out by the Trump campaign, who alleged that they produced batches of illegal ballots and ran them through voting machines to help President Joe Biden win in Georgia.

Shaye Moss, a former Georgia election worker, started her testimony out by outlining what she “loves the most” about being an election official, which she commented was “the older voters.”

Moss went on to say that she “found pleasure” in helping people cast their ballots.

“And like even college students, a lot of parents trusted me to make sure that a child does not have to drive home. They’ll get an absentee ballot, they can vote and I really found pleasure in that, I like being the one that, you know, someone can’t navigate my voter page, or you know, they want a new precinct card, they don’t have a copy machine or computer or all of that. I can put it in the mail for them,” Moss said. “That’s what I love most.”

Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) testified before the Jan. 6 committee that former President Donald Trump asked him to send new electors from the state, which he refused to do.

Bowers began his testimony by affirming that Trump had lost the state of Arizona in the 2020 election and rejected Trump’s statement from earlier Tuesday that castigated him as a “RINO,” or Republican in name only. He rejected Trump’s claims that he told the president “that the election was rigged and that [he] won Arizona.”

“I certainly did have a conversation with the president — that certainly isn’t it,” Bowers said. “There are parts of it that are true, and there are parts that are not.”

The first panel in Tuesday’s hearing has been dismissed, including Rusty Bowers, Arizona House speaker, Brad Raffensperger, Georgia secretary of state, and Gabriel Sterling, the Georgia secretary of state’s chief operating officer.

Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, acknowledged former President Donald Trump was involved in lawyer John Eastman’s fake electors scheme.

During a brief excerpt from her deposition played during the hearing Tuesday, she indicated that Trump called her and put her in touch with Eastman, and detailed that the RNC participated in coordinating the scheme.

“He turned the call over to Mr. Eastman proceeded to talk as we progressed through December, at the President’s direct request, the RNC assisted the campaign in coordinating this effort,” she said.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has long teased that the committee had evidence of Trump’s involvement in a plot to supplant official electoral with a slew of ones who favored the former president to tip the election to him.

“Eastman, who then proceeded to talk about the importance of the RNC helping the campaign gather these contingent electors in case any of the legal challenges that were ongoing change the result of any dates. I think more just helping them reach out and assemble them,” she continued. “My understanding is the campaign did take the lead, and we just were helping them in that in that role.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) says that his office has knowledge of four “dead people” who voted in the 2020 election in the state, not the 15,000 which Trump initially alleged in a phone call with the secretary of state.

“No, it’s not accurate, actually in their lawsuits they allege 10,315 dead people. We found two dead people. When I wrote my letter to Congress that’s dated January 6, and subsequent to that we found two more, that’s 1,2, 3, 4 people,” Raffensperger commented.

The allegations of dead people voting refers to a form of voter fraud, where people cast ballots under the names of deceased people.

Gabriel Sterling, a top deputy to the Georgia secretary of state, recalled how he met with one attorney and shot down claims of rampant election fraud.

“I remember there’s one specific an attorney that we know that we showed him walk him through. This wasn’t true. ‘Okay, I get that this wasn’t true. Okay, I get that this was five or six things. But at the end he goes I just know in my heart that cheated,'” Sterling recalled the attorney saying.

The Georgia election official said it is frustrating and that it is difficult to cut through claims of voter fraud with logic, because people have it embedded in their hearts.

“I even have family members, who I had to argue with about some of these things, and I would show them things and the problem you have is you’re getting to people’s hearts,” he said.

“That system so once you get past the heart, the facts don’t matter as much. And our job from our point of view is to get the facts out your job, tell the truth. Follow the Constitution follow the law. And defend the institutions and the institutions held,” he added.

Gabriel Sterling, the chief operating office for the Georgia secretary of state, addressed claims perpetuated by the Trump campaign that election workers at State Farm Arena were filling “suitcases” full of ballots while tallying results for the 2020 election.

Sterling said that this “conspiracy theory took on a life of its own,” while arguing that it was proved false after reviewing over 48 hours of surveillance footage at the arena.

“One of the specific things, one was very frustrating, was the so called suitcases of ballots from under the table. If you watch the entirety of the video, you saw that these were election workers who were under the impression they were gonna get to get home around 10-10:30,” Sterling said. “People are putting on their coats, they’re putting ballots that are prepared to be scanned into valid carriers that are sealed with tamper proof seals so that they can you know, they’re not messed with.”

During the hearing, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) displayed a clip of Gabriel Sterling, a top aide to the Georgia secretary of state during the 2020 election, blasting former President Donald Trump.

“Mr. President, it looks like you’re likely lost. We’re investigating there’s always a possibility. I get it. You have the right to go to the courts. What you don’t have the ability to do and need to step up and stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence. Someone’s gonna get hurt. Someone’s gonna get shot. Someone’s gonna get killed,” Sterling declared during a fiery December 2020 press conference.

Schiff pressed Sterling on what prompted those blistering remarks against the former president. He replied that after the election, “we had been sort of steeping in this kind of stuff.” At one point, he opened Twitter and found a number of alarming tweets.

“It was a particular tweet that, for lack of a better word was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Had a young man’s name, very unique name, I believe, as a first-generation American and said his name you committed treason. May God have mercy on your soul with a slowly twisting GIF of a noose and for lack of a better word, I lost it. I just got irate.”

Sterling was deeply frustrated with the former president’s remarks about the election at the time. He said it was necessary to call him out, because he was afraid Trump’s words would ultimately lead to violence.

“It seemed necessary at the time because it was just getting worse. And I don’t I could not tell you why that particular one was the one that put me over the edge,” he emphasized. “But after you move this plead of the President did Donald Trump urge his supporters to avoid the use of violence, not to my knowledge.”

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) played a clip of Sterling’s December 2020 rebuke of Trump during her opening in the hearing Tuesday.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) testified that the 2020 election in Georgia went “remarkably smooth.”

“Our average wait time was three minutes , statewide, that we were recording,” Raffensperger said. “At the end of the day, we felt that we had a successful election from the standpoint of the administration on the operation of the election.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) noted that his officer reviewed the election in the Peach State on multiple occassions and all instances showed that then-candidate Joe Biden won.

“The steps included a machine recount, a forensic audit, and a full hand recount of every one of the 5 million ballots cast that these efforts, including a recount of literally every valid cast in the state of Georgia, we counted the ballots with the first tabulation would be scanned,” he explained.

“Then when we did our 100% Hand audit of the entire all 5 million ballots in the state of Georgia are cast in place. All absentee ballots are all hand recounted, and they will be remarkably close to the first count,” he explained. “So we got remarkably the same count three counts all remarkably close, which showed that President Trump did come up short.

The Jan. 6 committee returned from a brief recess and resumed its hearing, now focusing on its witnesses from Georgia. Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) noted that former President Donald Trump had a “particular obsession” with the Peach State.

GRAEME JENNINGS

Following his resistance to pressure from Trump allies to decertify the 2020 election, Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) also faced harassment from Trump supporters, he recalled.

“We have various groups come by they have had video paneled trucks with videos of me proclaiming me to be a pedophile and a pervert and a corrupt politician and blaring loudspeakers in my neighborhood and even literature both on my property and arguing and threatening with neighbors and with myself,” he explained.

Some of the individuals argued with him and his neighbors. He said his “gravely ill daughter and wife were deeply disturbed by what was happening.

“I don’t know if I should name groups but there was one gentleman that had the three bars on his chest and he had a pistol and was threatening my neighbor not with the pistol but just vocally.”

“When I saw the gun I knew I had to get close, and at the same time on some of these, we had a daughter who was gravely ill who is upset by what was happening outside and my wife is a valiant person. Very very strong, quiet, strong woman so it was disturbing.”

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) thanked Bowers for his testimony and requested a brief recess in response.

Rusty Bowers, speaker of Arizona’s House of Representatives, categorized efforts from Republican electors to cast fake ballots in Arizona a “tragic parody.”

When asked what he thought of Arizona Republican electors meeting to cast fake ballots for Donald Trump, Bowers responded: “I thought of the book, ‘The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight.’ I just thought, this is a tragic parody.”

After an emotional closer from Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R), the Jan. 6 committee will take a five-minute recess, Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) swore in the next slate of witnesses. The Georgia election officials are on deck to speak next.

Allies of former President Donald Trump sought to fly fake elector documents down to Washington, D.C., following the election, according to the House select Jan. 6 committee.

“The Trump campaign took steps to ensure that the physical copies of the fake electoral votes from two states were delivered to Washington for Jan. 6. Text messages exchanged between Republican Party officials in Wisconsin show that on Jan. 4, the Trump campaign asked for someone to fly their fake elect. Ultimately, fake electors did meet on Dec. 14,” a narrator in a video played by the committee explained.

The committee highlighted an email from Trump-linked lawyer John Eastman in which he emphasized that the fake electors could inject uncertainty into the process.

In addition to efforts to fly fake electors to Washington, D.C., the committee also noted a staffer of Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) sought to deliver fake electors to then-Vice President Mike Pence.

“This staffer stated that Sen. Johnson wished to hand-deliver to the vice president the fake electors’ votes from Michigan and Wisconsin,” the narrator explained. “The vice president’s aide unambiguously instructed them not to deliver the fake votes to the vice president. Even though the fake electoral slates were transmitted to Congress and the executive branch, the vice president held firm and his position that his role was to count lawfully submitted electoral votes.”

Former Michigan GOP Chairwoman Laura Cox testified Tuesday that a representative for the Trump campaign informed her that fake electors were planning to meet at the Capitol and “hide overnight” to cast their fake ballots.

“He told me that the Michigan Republican electors were planning to meet in the Capitol and hide overnight so that they could fulfill the role of casting their vote, per law in the Michigan chambers. And I told him in no uncertain terms that that was insane and inappropriate,” Cox said.

Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) included a snippet from former President Ronald Reagan’s 1981 inaugural address in his statement.

“The orderly transfer of authority as called for in the Constitution routinely takes place as is as it has for almost two centuries, and few of us stopped to think how unique we really are in the eyes of many in the world. This every four-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle,” the excerpt said.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) took note of the except and asked Bowers why he included it in his statement. Bowers voiced deep admiration for the conservative, explained that he once toured his house, and felt that Reagan’s words suited the moment.

“I have a lot of admiration for him. When he pointed out which is I have lived in another country for a period of time and I have visited a few countries and during election times,” he explained. “The fact that we allow an election to support an election and stand behind the election, even in the past when there have been serious questions about the election and then move on without disturbance.”

“And with that acceptance that we choose. We choose to follow the outcome of the will of the people. That will means a lot to me, and I know it meant a lot to him, and so I included that,” he continued.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) phoned Rusty Bowers, speaker of Arizona’s House of Representatives, asking if he would sign on to a letter to support the decertification of electors on the morning of Jan. 6, 2021.

“He asked if I would sign on both to a letter that had been sent from my state and/or that I would support the decertification of the electors, and I said I would not,” Bowers told the panel.

While trying to persuade Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) to overturn the 2020 election, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani lacked evidence, Bowers recalled.

“We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence,” Giuliani said at one point when pressed by Bowers and his confidants for evidence of election malfeasance.

“I don’t know if that was a gaffe, or maybe he didn’t think through what he said, but both myself and others in my group, the three in my group, and my counsel, both remember that specifically, and afterwards, we kind of laughed about,” Bowers recounted.

Bowers said he was stunned by the remark and felt that former President Donald Trump’s allies wanted him to thwart the election without possessing sufficient proof of fraud. While a supporter of the former president, he stressed he was not going to undertake illegal action on his behalf.

He felt carrying out the requests would amount to violating his oath of office and told the Trump team to battle out its legal challenges to the election in court. Bowers was not going to support decertifying the election.

Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) stressed that he did not “want to be used as a pawn” by Trump allies in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

Deriding Trump’s allies for engaging in a “circus,” Bowers recalled how they reached out to him asking him to review the election and consider removing electors from then-candidate Joe Biden and replacing them.

“I refused,” he recalled. “I called it the circus had been brewing with lots of demonstrations both at the counting center at the Capitol and other places. And I didn’t want to have that in the House. I did not feel that the evidence, and in its absence, merited a hearing, and I didn’t want to be used as a pawn.”

Trump appealed to Bowers as a fellow Republican, asking him, “Aren’t we all Republicans here?” Bowers recounted. The speaker pressed for evidence that the Trump team’s request was legal and was unsatisfied with the evidence presented in response.

“It is a tenet of my faith that the Constitution is divinely inspired by the most basic foundational beliefs, and so for me to do that because somebody just asked me to forgo my very being, I will not do it,” he said.

Rusty Bowers, speaker of Arizona’s House of Representatives, denied a claim from President Trump that he acknowledged that the 2020 election was “rigged” during a phone conversation last November.

In response to a line of questioning from Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) whether Trump’s recollection of the phone call was accurate, Bowser said some parts are true and others are not.

“I didn’t have a conversation with the President. That certainly isn’t it. There were parts of it that are true. There are parts that are not sir,” Bowers said.

“Anywhere, anyone, anytime has said that I said the election was rigged that would not be true,” Bowers added.

Trump released a statement ahead of Tuesday’s hearing, alleging that Bowers told him that the election was “rigged,” adding that Bowers “should hope there’s not a tape of the conversation. ”

Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R), a witness who served as speaker since 2019, said he wanted former President Donald Trump to win the 2020 election.

Despite his hopes for a Trump victory, Bowers, who describes himself as a conservative Republican, ultimately concluded that then-candidate Joe Biden won. Trump decried Bowers as a ‘RINO’ before the hearing.

Bowers had a call from the White House in late November, after the election, Arizona Central reported. Trump and his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, were on the line and stressed that under Arizona law, the legislature could select the state’s electors for the presidential election, effectively overruling the voters, according to the outlet.

During an exhibit video, displayed by the panel, Mike Shirkey Majority Leader of the Michigan Senate, recalled how allies of former President Donald Trump disclosed his personal number to the public.

Trump prodded his followers to urge Shirkey to decerfity the election results in the state. The state Senate leader was bombarded with phone calls and text messages from angry Trump supporters.

“I remember receiving over just shy of 4000 texts at a short period of time calling to catch that we had was a loud noise. Loud consistently,” he recalled. Well, you know, they were believing these things.”

The video was played as part of the panel’s efforts to highlight a pressure campaign on state and local election officials over the 2020 election.

During the opening remarks for the hearing, the House select Jan. 6 committee displayed a clip of Gabriel Sterling, a top aide to the Georgia secretary of state during the 2020 election, warning that claims about rampant election fraud would lead to violence.

“Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language.. .This has to stop. We need you to step up. And if you’re gonna take a position of leadership — show up,” he said. “They have people doing caravans one of their house they’ve had people come on to their property to stop this elections, this is the backbone of democracy and all of you who have not said a d*** word — are complicit in at this.”

Sterling is set to testify later during the hearing.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) sought to personally connect former President Donald Trump and his campaign to efforts on overturn the 2020 election during opening remarks on Tuesday.

When efforts to stop state legislatures and governors from certifying election results failed, Trump “mounted a pressure campaign directed at individual state legislators.”

This pressure campaign against state and local officials spanned numerous contested states,” Schiff said.

Citing U.S. District Court Judge David Carter, Schiff said that President Trump and others “likely” violated multiple federal laws, including conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Schiff is expected to lead questioning during Tuesday’s hearing.

Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) warned that former President Donald Trump’s false claims about the election and coinciding efforts to overturn it pose a threat to democratic institutions.

“Everything we described today, the relentless destructive pressure campaign on state and local officials, was all based on a lie. Donald Trump knew it. He did it anyway,” he said. “It’s corrupting our democratic institutions. People who believe that lie are now seeking positions of public trust.”

Thompson took note of recent election developments in New Mexico to underscore the threat.

“As seen in New Mexico, their oath to be to the people they serve will take a backseat to their commitment to the big lie. If that happens, who will make sure institutions don’t break under the pressure?” he warned.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said former President Donald Trump had a “direct and personal role” in overturning the 2020 election results.

“Today, we will begin examining President Trump’s effort to overturn the election by exerting pressure on state officials and state legislatures,” Cheney said. “Donald Trump had a direct and personal role in this effort, as did Rudy Giuliani, as did John Eastman.”

Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) opened Tuesday’s hearing previewing Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in several states.

“Pressuring public servants into betraying their oaths was a fundamental part of the playbook,” he said. “And a handful of election officials in several key states stood between Donald Trump and the upending of American democracy,” Thompson said.

“So, when Donald Trump tried to overturn the election results, he focused on just a few states,” Thompson said. “He wanted officials at the local and state level to say the vote was tainted by widespread fraud and throw out the results, even though, as we showed last week, there wasn’t any voter fraud that could have overturned the election results.”

The House select Jan. 6 committee has additional information about Republicans who sought pardons from Trump, according to Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS).

However, the committee will not divulge that information during the hearing Tuesday. Instead, it will disclose that information “over the next few weeks.” The committee has accused some Republicans, such as Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), of pursuing a pardon from Trump.

The first panel for Tuesday’s hearing has been seated.

Rusty Bowers, Arizona House speaker, Brad Raffensperger, Georgia secretary of state, and Gabriel Sterling, the Georgia secretary of state’s chief operating officer are all present.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, is expected to take a prominent role during the hearing Tuesday, leading the questioning.

Schiff has been an unabashed critic of former President Donald Trump and previously served as a top investigator during his first impeachment. The former president has frequently singled Schiff out for criticism and mockery.

Over the weekend, the congressman teased that the panel has evidence the former president was involved with efforts to send fake electors to Congress.

“We’ll show evidence of the president’s involvement in this scheme,” Schiff said. “We’ll also, again, show evidence about what his own lawyers came to think about this scheme.”

A key theme the panel is poised to explore Tuesday is the purported pressure campaign Trump and his allies engaged in with state and local officials to challenge the 2020 election.

When Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and other election officials appear before the Jan. 6 committee on Tuesday, it won’t be the first time they’ve testified about pressure they received from then-President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election results.

Raffensperger, Gabriel Sterling, and other top election officials slated to appear at Tuesday’s hearing testified in front of a special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, earlier this month.

The Fulton County Superior Court granted the special purpose grand jury in January for a criminal investigation led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is looking into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.

The House select committee investigating Jan. 6 has reportedly snagged a trove of previously unseen footage of former President Donald Trump and his allies before and after the Capitol riot.

Alex Holder, a documentary filmmaker who gained sweeping access to the former president and his inner circle in the days surrounding the riot, turned over “all the footage” the Jan. 6 committee demanded after the panel slapped him with a subpoena last Wednesday, a spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.

Former President Donald Trump denounced Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) as a “RINO” for agreeing to appear before the House select Jan. 6 committee’s fourth public hearing Tuesday.

Trump recalled an alleged conversation with Bowers in which the speaker told the president that the election was “rigged” and needled that Bowers “should hope there’s not a tape of the conversation.”

“In November 2020, Bowers thanked me for getting him elected,” Trump said in a statement released by the Save America PAC. “He said he would have lost, and in fact expected to lose, if I hadn’t come along. During the conversation, he told me that the election was rigged and that I won Arizona. He said he got more votes than I did which could never have happened.”

“In fact, he said without me, he would have been out of office, and he expected to be prior to my coming along, and big Arizona rallies. The night before the election he walked outside with his wife and saw the tremendous Trump enthusiasm and told her, ‘You know what? Maybe I will win after all’ — and he did,” Trump continued.

Bowers is one of the witnesses on the first panel slated to testify.

Susan Walsh/AP

A top Democrat on the Jan. 6 committee said there is evidence tying the former president directly to a plan to send fake electors to Congress.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday that the plan to send secondary groups of electors from battleground states was orchestrated not just by the president’s campaign officials but then-President Donald Trump himself.

“We’ll show evidence of the president’s involvement in this scheme,” Schiff said. “We’ll also, again, show evidence about what his own lawyers came to think about this scheme.”

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) shared concerns about “carryovers” from the Trump administration in the Justice Department.

The congressman talked about what he is hearing from voters in several states during a CNN interview Monday that turned to whether former President Donald Trump will be prosecuted.

“I’m not going to zero in on the prosecution of Donald Trump. I do have some concerns about what seems to be some reticence coming from the department as to how to ratchet up these investigations,” Clyburn told anchor John Berman.
