The Jan. 6 panel on Thursday voted to issue a subpoena for Donald Trump to appear before the committee.
Zoe Lefgren, D-Calif., presented an email sent from Tom Fitton prior to the election that showed plans for Donald Trump to deny he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
Thursday's hearing opened at a mostly empty Capitol complex, with most lawmakers at home campaigning for reelection. Several people who were among the thousands around the Capitol on Jan. 6 are now running for congressional office, some with Trump’s backing. Police officers who fought the mob filled the hearing room's front row.
“Just fyi. POTUS is pissed,” the Secret Service wrote, according to documents obtained by the committee. The session was serving as a closing argument for the panel’s two Republican lawmakers, Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who have essentially been shunned by Trump and their party and will not be returning in the new Congress. Cheney lost her primary election, and Kinzinger decided not to run.
“He has used this big lie to destabilize our democracy,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-N.Y., who was a young House staff member during the Richard Nixon impeachment inquiry in 1974. “When did that idea occur to him and what did he know while he was doing that?”
