Did Donald Trump through action or inaction corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress` official proceedings to count electoral votes?

We have not made a decision about referrals on the committee. I think that it is absolutely the case, it`s absolutely clear that what President Trump was doing, what a number of people around him were doing, that they knew it was unlawful…

I would also note that in Trump v. Thompson, the D.C. Circuit held, and then we were upheld in the Supreme Court, that the committee's need for this information outweighs the former President's rights to any kind of confidentiality. I…

The election claims made by Donald Trump were so frivolous, and so unfounded that the President`s lead lawyer did not just lose these cases, he lost his license to practice law.

In America, no one is above the law. Neither Mr. Trump, nor Mr. Scavino, nor Mr. Navarro is some form of royalty. There is no such thing in America as the privileges of the crown.

We have learned that President Trump and his team were warned in advance and repeatedly that the efforts they undertook to overturn the 2020 election would violate the law and our Constitution. Despite all of these specific warnings…

Liz Cheney today said in the Rules Committee hearing that we have learned that Donald Trump and his team were warned in advance and repeatedly that the efforts that to undertake the 2020 election would violate the law and the Constitution…

We have learned that President Trump and his team were warned in advance and repeatedly that the efforts they undertook to overturn the 2020 election would violate the law and our Constitution.

Mr. Navarro insists that he is above the law.

Mr. Chairman, I move that the committee favorably report to the House the committee`s report on a resolution recommending that the House of Representatives find Peter K. Navarro and Daniel Scavino Jr. in contempt of Congress for refusal to…

Democracy only survives if citizens are willing to defend it.

If President Trump`s plan had worked, it would have permanently ended the peaceful transition of power, undermining American democracy and the Constitution.

The illegality of President Trump`s plan for January 6 was -- quote -- 'obvious.'

President Trump and his team were warned in advance and repeatedly that the efforts they undertook to overturn the 2020 election would violate the law and our Constitution.

If we don`t stand for our freedom and our republic, we will lose them.

Mr. Chairman, pursuant to clause 2(l) of rule XI, I request that Members have 2 calendar days in which to file with the clerk of the Committee supplemental or additional views on the measure ordered reported by the Committee tonight.

Mr. Chairman, I request a recorded vote.

Too many in my own party are embracing that former president, are looking the other way, are minimizing the danger. That’s how democracies die. We simply cannot let that happen.

I cannot recognize those in my party who have abandoned the constitution to embrace Donald Trump. History will be their judge.

This was January 6th. This is not legitimate political discourse.

I will never stop fighting for our Constitutional Republic. No matter what.

The leaders of the Republican Party have made themselves willing hostages to a man who admits he tried to overturn a presidential election and suggest he would pardon January 6th defendants. I cannot recognize those in party -- I do not…

I`m a constitutional conservative and I do not recognize those in my party who have abandoned the constitution to embrace Donald Trump. History will be their judge. I will never stop fighting for our constitutional republic, no matter what.

We cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president.
