The January 6 House Select Committee’s fourth hearing focused on how former President Trump tried to intimidate state officials to change the 2020 election results in Georgia and Arizona. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger testified that he “had to be faithful to the Constitution” and that “there were no votes to find” like Trump wanted. Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan joins AC360 to discuss what stood out to him from today’s testimony.
Plus, The New York Times is reporting that the former President’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, told a documentary film crew in December 2020 that her father should “continue to fight until every legal remedy is exhausted” because people were questioning “the sanctity of our elections.” This contradicts what she told the committee, in the portion of her deposition that has been made public so far, when she said she “accepted” what Attorney General Bill Barr said about there being no voter fraud. New York Times Washington Correspondent Maggie Haberman tells AC360 the committee is expected to interview the filmmaker this week and it’s “unclear” what else is on their tapes that were turned over to the panel.
