American attorney, businessman and politician, former mayor of New York CityArizona and Georgia state officials testified to the Jan. 6 select committee Tuesday about former President Donald Trump’s pressure campaign to convince them to try to overturn his 2020 election loss in those key battlegrounds.
After opening remarks from Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., committee member Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., took the lead in questioning witnesses, some of whom recounted threats of violence and death against election officials who refused to be taken in by the president’s false claims of voter fraud.
Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel testifies in a pre-recorded tape shown during the House Select Committee hearing on June 21. Election officials targeted by Trump were subject to angry calls, texts and protests at their homes, as well as threats of violence. The theory centered on a spliced video clip of surveillance footage of the vote-counting station in Atlanta where Moss and Freeman processed votes for the Fulton County elections board on election night in 2020. In the aftermath of the election, an attorney for Trump presented the clip to a Georgia Senate committee and falsely claimed that it showed them, allegedly processing them multiple times.
