Kelli Ward and her husband Michael Ward were presidential electors who would have voted for Trump in the Electoral College had he won Arizona. Both signed a document falsely claiming they were Arizona's true electors, despite Democrat Joe Biden's victory in the state.
"Dr. Ward was deposed by the select committee and she declined to answer on every substantive question under her rights under the Fifth Amendment," he said. “There are other aspects of her involvement that are not at this point fully understood.” The committee has talked to more than 1,000 other witnesses, including many White House aides and several of Trump’s lawyers and confidants.
“All I can say is if we do this wrong, we will set a precedent that is worse than the Capitol riot,” Mills said.
