When did Donald Trump find out he lost the election to Joe Biden? And why does he still insist on insisting the opposite? The committee responsible for investigating the attempted Capitol Hill uprising is trying to provide answers to this important question on Monday, despite the absence, at the last minute, of a key witness.
This group of elected officials, who put the former president of America in the middle of a attempted coupshall describe, on the second day of testimony, how on the night of November 3 to 4, 2020 – date of the presidential election -, Donald Trump decided to announce [sa] success, even if the data of the moment does not confirm itsays a source.
We will hear the witnesses […] who will talk about the fact that the former president has no result to win, who has repeatedly told him that he has no result to winhe says.
The seven Democrats and two Republicans sitting on the committee have been investigating for nearly a year whether Donald Trump was responsible for the Capitol Hill attack by his supporters, who tried to cut Joe Biden’s certification of victory, convinced of presidential fraud in 2020.
At its first hearing focused on presenting their conclusions, the committee indicted the United States on Thursday on the violence of the attack on the U.S. Congress, on Jan. 6, 2021, which revealed unpublished videos of the -attack.
Monday’s hearing is focused on Donald Trump’s decision to disobey the will of voters, declare himself the winner of an election he lost, propagate accusations of fraud and ignore court decisions when they are not in favor of his handsspecified by a source.
This selected group also promises new revelations about how the former president’s political apparatus used these lies about voter fraud to raise donations, which raised hundreds of millions of dollars between election day and January 6 2021.
However, a family emergency, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, who will appear on Monday, finally gave up at the last minute. In fact, Bill Stepien could not testify because his wife was giving birth, according to some American media.
However, the committee presented excerpts from an interview it had made with Mr. Stepien prior to his testimony. In this interview, he claims he advised the president to approach journalists on election night to say it was too early to declare a win.
The main interested party, Donald Trump, however, did the opposite, claiming the election was stolen from him.
Donald Trump has repeatedly denounced this investigation as witch huntingthat according to him shame on one.
His party has already vowed to bury his work if he takes control of the House during the mid-term legislative elections in November.
