candidate brian kelly. his initial appearance is scheduled for thursday at 1:00 pm, exactly the same time that the january 6th hearing begins.

with members of the white house counsel s office threatened to resign as a group, if donald trump installed an obscure justice department republican environmental lawyer as the new acting attorney general. that lawyer, jeffrey clark, was in the meeting in the oval office, promising the president that if he became acting attorney general, he would send a letter to elected officials in georgia and other states won by joe biden, telling them the lie, that the justice department had found fraud in the presidential election in that state. and urged those states to illegally submit a slate of trump electors to the electoral college. the best line in the meeting was delivered by acting deputy attorney general richard donoghue, who rushed to the meeting dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and crushed jeffrey clark. according to the washington post, donoghue told donald trump, quote, he s never been a criminal attorney. he s never conducted a criminal
allegations of fraud or potential misconduct in new york. this incident is no exception. that refers to multiple elements of fraud that were discussed in yesterday s hearing including perhaps most importantly the possible financial fraud of donald trump raising money on the false pretense that the money would be used to legally contest the outcome of the presidential election. we will also show that the trump campaign used to these false claims of election fraud to raise hundreds of millions of dollars from supporters who were told their donations were for the legals fights in the courts. but the trump campaign didn t use the money for that. the big lie was also a big rip off. my name is amanda wicks, im your investigator with house select committee to investigate the january 6th committee on the united states capitol. between election day and
