for the first time the january 6th committees moved beyond washington tomorrow. until now, the committee has been delving into the actions of those surrounding then-president trump, what he knew, and when he knew it. now it s what did trump himself do and what is a criminal act. and you can be sure, this moment will be part of the focus. all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. that is just a really short clip of the one-hour call between then-president trump and georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger four days before the capitol insurrection. it is key to the question of how far donald trump went and how much of a role he personally played in the efforts to overturn the election results in georgia and six other states. raffensperger is set to testify before the committee tomorrow. so too is his deputy gabe sterling and a third republican, arizona house speaker rusty bowers. he also resiste
have because we won the state. that is just a really short clip of the one-hour call between then-president trump and georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger four days before the capitol insurrection. it is key to the question of how far donald trump went and how much of a role he personally played in the efforts to overturn the election results in georgia and six other states. raffensperger is set to testify before the committee tomorrow. so too is his deputy gabe sterling and a third republican, arizona house speaker rusty bowers. he also resisted donald trump s efforts to ignore the will of the voters. we will also see what the committee is learning about whether trump was involved in this scheme by his allies to submit phony slates of electors, fake certificates were sent to the national archives as part of the failed attempt to undo joe biden s victory. we ll show during a hearing what the president s role was in trying to get states to name alternate states of

help answer whether the 45th president could be held criminally responsible. yet even with more than 800 people prosecuted since january 6, none of those charges to date carry the name trump. i m joined by olivia, and elie honig. thanks so much for being here. this is serious stuff. the country is watching in part. but the doj is definitely watching how this plays out. can i just ask you first of all, what do you expect to hear? i m going to start with you, ellie. how important is this legally to donald trump and to the committee? well, sara, so i think what we re going to hear tomorrow is different than what we ve been hearing throughout the committee hearings in two respects. the sheer audacity of what donald trump and rudy giuliani and john eastman were trying to do they were contacting state and local officials and telling them even though your state voted for joe biden, i want you to throw it to me with zero
