According to video testimony released Monday by the committee investigating the elections, top aides to then-President Donald Trump said they had told him the allegations of widespread voter fraud were unfounded and would not reverse his defeat in the January 6, 2021 invasion of the US Capitol.
The House panel, led by members of the Democratic Party, defends the thesis that Trump has decided to claim that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” from him, despite many members of his team saying that Democrat Joe Biden got more votes. .
“She and her closest aides knew the allegations were false, but they still continued to persist until a gang of Trump supporters attacked Capitol Hill,” Democratic Representative Zoe Lofgren told the panel at her second hearing.
In a video statement, former Trump Attorney General William Barr dismissed the fraud allegations as “nonsense” and “crazy”.
“If he truly believes these things, he has separated himself from reality,” Barr said.
Trump denies any abuse of office and has repeatedly stressed that he hasn’t lost, calling the committee’s investigation a “political witch hunt.”
