WASHINGTON — Tuesday’s hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol will zero in on Trump’s personal involvement in efforts to pressure state election officials to subvert the will of voters and to persuade lawmakers to submit false slates of electors backing him to Congress.
Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Georgia Secretary of State Chief Operating Officer Gabriel Sterling, all Republicans, are scheduled to testify about the actions of Trump and those in his inner circle before the committee at its fourth hearing this month.
Bowers will testify about the calls he received from Trump and conservative California lawyer John Eastman, and a meeting with Trump attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani in which the former New York City mayor asked him to overturn the state election results after Joe Biden won and instead submit a slate of electors for Trump.
