I would like to show you some of the statements that Rudy Giuliani made in a second hearing...

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

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

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

If the most powerful person in the world can bring the full weight of the presidency down on an ordinary citizen, who among us is safe? None of us is, none of us.

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…

None of that was true, was it?

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.

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

The whole effort to pressure the state legislatures and legislators was premised on a big lie about a massive fraud that didn`t exist.

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.

When Donald Trump used the power of the Presidency to try to stay in office after losing the election to Joe Biden, he broke that sacred and centuries-old covenant.

Ruby Freeman said that the President is supposed to protect every American, not target them. She is right.

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…

No election worker should be subject to such heinous treatment just for doing their job.

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

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

This brought effort to overturn an election. And you`ll see just with the weight of the presidency brought down on these officials.

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

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

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

Finally, the President claims that there was a minimum of 18,000 ballots somehow smuggled in, all for Biden. I take it, gentlemen, that was also categorically false?

What did Mr. Biggs ask you to do?

We have an obligation for Congress, as Barbara McQuade is pointing out, quite independent of the Justice Department rather prosecutors. That is to protect our democracy and our institutions.

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.
