Tuesday’s televised hearing is expected to focus on Trump’s attempts to have officials in Georgia and other states overturn the results of the presidential election.
Jan. 6 panel chairman: No idea more 'un-American' than rejecting election
The committee’s hearing last week focused on Trump’s pressure on Pence after all 50 states certified President Joe Biden’s win and courts across the country had rejected his campaign’s attempts to legally challenge the results. As the president ran out of options, he and a small group of allies turned toward the final congressional certification on Jan. 6.
There was a gasp in the hearing room last week when committee member Liz Cheney read an account from inside the White House. When Trump was told the Capitol mob was chanting for Pence to be hanged for refusing to block the election results. Trump responded that maybe the mob was right, that he "deserves it," Cheney said.
