With an enhanced threat landscape, we are now facing more cyber threats from our adversaries than ever before.

Over the past several years, this country has seen a rapid proliferation of new technologies, from artificial intelligence (AI) to internet of things (IoT) to quantum computing.

As a result of these new technologies, our attack surface has grown, and our adversaries have developed new tactics designed to directly harm U.S. democratic institutions, economic interests, and National security.

The President said, 'Suppose I do this. Suppose I replace him,' Jeff Rosen, 'with him,' Jeff Clark.

They represent the backbone of our democracy at its most important moments: When the citizens cast their votes and when those votes are counted.

The American people have not yet heard from Mr. Trump's former White House Counsel, Pat Cipollone.

But, for Donald Trump, these witnesses and others like them were another roadblock to his attempt to cling to power.

We must reject violence. We must embrace our Constitution with the reverence it deserves, take our oath of office and duties as citizens seriously, informed by the knowledge of right and wrong, and armed with no more than the power of our…

If the most powerful person in the world can bring the full weight of the Presidency down on an ordinary citizen, who was merely doing her job, with a lie as big and heavy as a mountain, who among us is safe? None of us is. None of us.

President Trump's pressure campaign against State officials existed in all the key battleground States that he lost, but the former President had a particular obsession with Georgia.

Threats to people's livelihood and lives. Threats of violence that Donald Trump knew about and amplified.

When Donald Trump tried to overturn the election results, he focused on just a few States.

He lost. But he betrayed the trust of American people. The people had voted him out. And the courts upheld the will of the people.

He lied to his supporters and the country.

The select committee to investigate the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol will be in order.

Our democracy came dangerously close to catastrophe.

We are not going to stop what we`re doing to share the information that we`ve gotten so far with the Department of Justice.

He lost. But he betrayed the trust of American people. The people had voted him out. And the courts upheld the will of the people.

He lied to his supporters and the country --

We are not going to stop what we're doing to share the information that we've gotten so far with the Department of Justice, we have to do our work.

Our system nearly failed and our democratic foundation destroyed but for people like you.

Thanks in part to Mike Pence, our democracy withstood Donald Trump's scheme and the violence of January 6th.
