Defend Democracy Project: Jan 6th hearing takeaways – WisPolitics.com

WISCONSIN In the fourth hearing of the January 6th Select Committee, we learned more about the pressure campaign of Trump and his MAGA allies to overturn the results of the election. An all-Republican panel first detailed Trump and his officials harassment, and an election worker and her mother described their experiences after they were falsely accused by Trump of meddling in the election.

Trump pressured state officials to overthrow the will of the people in order to stay in power, and exposed election workers to threats and harassment by publicly and falsely accusing them of crimes, said Defend Democracy Project Communications Director Nicole Haley. There is no depth that Trump will not sink to, including attacking innocent people for just doing their jobs. The threat is ongoing, and those involved must be held accountable no matter if they are former presidents, members of Congress, or other officials.

1. Officials described Trump and his allies campaign to pressure officials to overturn the results of the election they lost.

2. Officials found no evidence of voter fraud in Arizona and Georgia.

3. At least one U.S. congressman and one senator participated in the conspiracy by pressuring state officials and trying to deliver fake elector certificates to Vice President Pence.

4. President Trumps blatantly illegal actions directly resulted in threats of violence against people doing their jobs and carrying out their oaths to the Constitution.
