Donald Trump's campaign manager and other top aides said they believed the 2020 presidential race was too close to call on Election Night.
The U.S. Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, has been described as the worst attack on American democracy since the Civil War.
"My belief, my recommendation was to say that votes were still being counted, it's too early to tell, too early to call the race," Stepien said in the recorded testimony.Kushner testified that he told Trump the approach Giuliani was taking was not one he would take. But the president pushed back and said he had confidence in the attorney.
For the past year, the committee has been investigating the most violent attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812 to ensure such an assault never happens again. Lawmakers hope to show that Trump's effort to overturn Joe Biden's election victory posed a grave threat to democracy. As he mulls another White House run, Trump insists the committee's investigation is a"witch hunt." Last week he said Jan. 6"represented the greatest movement in the history of our country."
Monday's hearing was also turning to the millions of fundraising dollars Trump's team brought in in the run-up to Jan. 6, according to a committee aide who insisted on anonymity to discuss the details.
