Testimony from a former Philadelphia politico and top adviser to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described how Democrats were worried about former President Donald Trump’s effort to challenge the results of the 2020 election months before Americans cast their ballots.
The account, delivered by Jamie Fleet to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, was made public Tuesday evening.
Fleet’s testimony included a dramatic description of the chilling moments for House staffers as insurrectionists attempted to batter their way into the congressional chamber.
