How to watch Tuesday's House Jan. 6 committee hearing focusing on Trump's efforts to pressure state officials
CBSN
Washington — The House select committee examining the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol will convene Tuesday for its fourth public hearing this month. This session will focus on President Trump's efforts to pressure state officials as part of his broader campaign to remain in office for a second term after losing the 2020 election.
Expected to appear before the panel are two officials from Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, and Gabriel Sterling, the state's voting system implementation manager, as well as Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers. Trump lost both Georgia and Arizona to President Biden, but he and officials with his reelection campaign pushed top officials in those states to overturn the election results, in part through a scheme to submit alternate, pro-Trump slates of electors.
In Georgia, Trump urged Raffensberger in a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call to "find" enough votes to make him the winner, though Raffensperger repeatedly rebuffed the president's efforts and refuted claims of widespread voter fraud in Georgia.
