That important date, of course, was the joint session of Congress, where Georgia's electoral votes would be counted for Joe Biden.

No matter how many times senior Department of Justice officials, including his own Attorney General, told the President that these allegations were not true, President Trump kept promoting these lies and putting pressure on State officials…

In this Committee's hearing last Monday, we heard from senior Federal law enforcement officials--from the senior-most Federal law enforcement official in Atlanta at the time, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District BJay Pak, as well as…

Our job, from our point of view, was to get the facts out, do our job, tell the truth, follow the Constitution, follow the law, and defend the institutions.

Now, I understand that when you reviewed these tapes and did the analysis, it disproved this conspiracy theory.

In fact, the day after Donald Trump released that video--so, now we are talking just 2 days after the emotional warning that you gave that someone is going to get killed--representatives of President Trump appeared in Georgia, including…

President Biden carried the State of Georgia by approximately 12,000 votes.

I will not play with laws I swore allegiance to, with any contrived desire toward deflection of my deep foundational desire to follow God's will as I believe He led my conscience to embrace.

In your view, what he was asking you to do would have violated your oath to the Constitution?

Mr. Secretary, was the President here asking you for exactly what he wanted--one more vote than his opponent?

What did Mr. Biggs ask you to do?

The State pressure campaign and the danger it posed to State officials and to State capitols around the Nation was a dangerous precursor to the violence we saw on January 6th at the U.S. Capitol.

No legitimate State authority in the States Donald Trump lost would agree to appoint fake Trump electors and send them to Congress.

He fought to hold on to power. As we have seen in previous hearings, he did so through a variety of means.

The President's lie was and is a dangerous cancer on the body politic.

He mounted a pressure campaign directed at individual State legislators to try to get them to go back into session.

He tried to stop State legislatures and Governors from certifying the results of the election.

He sought to stop the counting of the vote, knowing that the millions of absentee ballots elections officials would be counting on election day and thereafter would run strongly against him.

On November 3, 2020, Donald Trump ran for reelection to the Office of the Presidency, and he lost.

The idea that a Supreme Court justice would rule, presume to rule in a case in which the issue is whether congress should see documents that might reveal his own spouse`s communications on the subject, it just screams conflict of interest

The overriding objective what`s to tell the public the story of one of the lines of effort to over during the election, one of the multiple ways in which the president sought to prevent the peaceful transfer of power was to pressure his…

The evidence continues to mount that Donald Trump not only lost the election, nearly lost, lied about it, continued lying about it, raise money off those lies. And those lies have continued to put our country at grave risk.

This is a president who would basically fire people when they wouldn`t follow his corrupt instructions.

Well, Lawrence, that`s right. And I remember at the time that the attorney general said that he was going to look into these allegations, having serious questions about whether the party was doing this only because the president wanted the…

The Justice Department, they need to be doing their own investigation. They clearly are investigating many of the people who attacked the Capitol on January 6th, then those who organized or funded them. But as our committee has been…
