Adam Schiff’s Testimony
Rep. Adam Schiff, Jan 6 committee member, is presenting additional findings during the panel’s fourth hearing this month.
Schiff was expected to play a major role in Tuesday’s session, according to CNN.
Schiff serves as chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and is a Democrat from California.
During former President Trump’s first impeachment trial, he was the lead impeachment manager for Democrats.
According to Schiff, Trump’s pressure campaign resulted in threats, which he predicted on January 6.
Schiff said at the start of the hearing that Trump put on election commissioners and state legislators the layers of the pressure in key states.
Trump began by lobbying states to halt election day vote counting. He then increased his pressure on officials who refused to declare him as the winner of states he had previously lost. When state legislators declined to reconvene to nominate Trump electors, Trump “intensified the pressure yet again,” Schiff revealed.
Anyone who stood in the way of Donald Trump’s continued authority after he lost the election was subjected to a hazardous and increasing pressure campaign, Schiff added.
