“Former President Trump’s plan to overturn the election relied on a sustained effort to deceive Americans with knowingly false claims of election fraud,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. Lofgren said.

Miller said that Giuliani, who would go on to pursue a variety of unsuccessful legal challenges to the election results, was ​​”definitely intoxicated” during a discussion about what the president should say when he addressed the nation that night.

Though Stepien said he thought it was “far too early to be making any calls like that," Giuliani’s idea clearly resonated with Trump, who began pushing the narrative that Biden and the Democrats were stealing the election from him when he erroneously declared in the early hours of Nov. 4: “Frankly, we did win this election.”

Those who appeared in person were Chris Stirewalt, a former Fox News political editor who made the controversial decision to accurately call Arizona for Biden on election night in 2020, conservative election attorney Benjamin Ginsberg, who explained how Trump’s legal challenges to the 2020 election results differed from the way such challenges are typically litigated in court;, the former U.S.

Some of the most compelling testimony, however, came from the taped depositions of those who watched Trump’s stolen election narrative take shape in real time. In addition to Barr, Donoghue, Stepien and Miller, other notable witnesses who appeared via video Monday include Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner; Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann; and Trump campaign lawyer Alex Cannon.

Former President Trump’s plan to overturn the election relied on a sustained effort to deceive Americans with knowingly true claims of election fraud

STOP LYING. Trump AUTHORIZED the troops. He didn't ORDER them anywhere. That was for PELOSI to do...which SHE DID NOT....hoping for a fiasco, to embarrass Trump, who told his crowd to 'PEACEFULLY make your voices heard'. You are mere Democratic Party propaganda.

And to fundraise off it.

What did the Russian collusion lie effort rely on? Maybe RepAdamSchiff knows?

Oh.

❤️🤍💙

And fund raise off that lie

Mary Trump Says Former President 'Accused' Ivanka Of Perjury After Jan. 6 HearingTheir future relationship will depend on if they still stand to benefit from one another, Trump's niece said. It's 'completely transactional.' That's how families get when loves leaves the home. There is no such thing as unconditional love amongst them. It's all transactional. I know this because I lived through it & couldn't deal with it. It's traumatic on a very personal & emotional level. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Donald's whole life was transactional. He never loved anyone. He only used other people for his own benefit. Probably came from his childhood.
