The House January 6 select committee will use its’ next hearing to demonstrate that former president Donald Trump knew his efforts to browbeat elected officials in Georgia and Arizona into helping him reverse his 2020 election losses in those states could lead to violence, according to select committee aides.

The panel’s fourth hearing will take place at 1pm ET on Tuesday, and is set to feature a quartet of officials who were on the receiving end of the pressure campaign mounted by Mr Trump and his allies even after he was advised that his chosen course of action was illegal.
