Arizona Republican House Speaker Rusty Bowers was among those who testified in front of the 1/6 Committee today.
WASHINGTON — The House 1/6 committee heard chilling, tearful testimony Tuesday that Donald Trump's relentless pressure to overturn the 2020 presidential election provoked widespread threats to the “backbone of our democracy"— election workers and local officials who fended off the defeated president’s demands despite personal risks.
The hearing was punctuated throughout with accounts of the personal attacks faced by state and local officials. “There were a lot of threats wishing death upon me,” said Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss, a former state election worker. While the committee cannot charge Trump with any crimes, the Justice Department is watching the panel’s work closely.
“The numbers don't lie,” said Raffensperger, who said that some 28,000 Georgia voters simply bypassed the presidential race but voted down-ballot for others. “At the end of the day, President Trump came up short.”
