  1. Trump attorney Sidney Powell said she had no cybersecurity or election law experience but believed there would be widespread fraud in 2020. Why? After the Steele dossier, “there was nothing I would put past anyone” to oust Trump, she told the select committee in her deposition. And the pandemic response “gave cover” for using “more mail-in ballots than were needed.” By Azi Paybarah @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/politics/20 #january6threport #jan6report #jan6thtranscripts #sidneypowell

  2. "Hey, Siri, show me 'slipshod'!" : Sidney Powell told the subcommittee she became concerned the election was fraudulent when several states stopped counting ballots “just prior to the President being able to hit the 270 votes needed for the electoral college win.” They were “Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, definitely Georgia, maybe Nevada,” she said. Where did she get that info? “I think I was watching Fox News.” #january6threport #jan6report #jan6thtranscripts #sidneypowell #foxnews

  3. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao told investigators she announced her resignation the day after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot because the events that day were so shocking that “it was impossible for me to continue.”

    “I believe in this country. I believe in the peaceful transfer of power. I believe in democracy,” she said, according to a transcript.

  4. wow: Sidney Powell told the subcommittee she saw wild fluctuations in the vote count on TV. That convinced her there was fraud. But Powell also said she could not recall what she did soon after that to analyze the votes, or whom she spoke to. Asked about her early post-election activity, she said that’s “like asking for your first memory of your mother.” @washingtonpost.mstdn.social By Azi Paybarah washingtonpost.com/politics/20 #january6threport #january6thtranscripts #jan6threport #sidneypowell

  5. They are just crazy.. virulent..nuts: Eric Trump and Jared Kushner, the president’s son and son-in-law, instructed lawyer Alex Cannon to find instances of election fraud. But when Cannon reported that many of the allegations were unfounded, people in Trump’s orbit were dismayed, according to a transcript of his interview with the House select committee.

  7. Donald Trump told then-White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy, Pat Philbin, that they were complicit in a “coup” for not backing his false claims of systematic voter fraud, Cipollone told the House committee.

    The president leveled that accusation in a meeting in which Cipollone and Philbin expressed their opposition to naming Jeffrey Clark, an environmental lawyer at the Justice Department, as the acting attorney general. #january6threport #jan6report #jan6thtranscripts #patcipollone

  8. After the 2020 election, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) asked Attorney General William P. Barr, “How far is the President going to take this?’

    “I think he was getting worried about a constitutional crisis, and he wanted to know my views on these fraud claims,” Barr told investigators. “And I told him I think we’re looking into them.” @washingtonpost By Patrick Marley washingtonpost.com/politics/20

  9. Trump added that “people will criticize the DOJ if Hunter’s not investigated for real,” Donoghue said. The president then went back to making false claims about election fraud.

  10. During a lengthy Dec. 27, 2020, meeting in which President Donald Trump tried to convince top Justice Department officials to declare the election “corrupt,” he briefly took time to press them on investigating Hunter Biden.

    Trump told then-acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen and then-acting deputy attorney general Richard Donoghue to “figure out what to do with Hunter Biden,” Donoghue told investigators from the Jan. 6 committee.

  11. “My understanding of our Nevada strategy is to cause as much chaos as possible.” That’s how Trump adviser Jason Miller described plans to challenge the election outcome there in an email chain on Nov. 8, 2020, with other Trump officials, including campaign manager Bill Stepien and deputy campaign manager Justin Clark. Stepien replied that that strategy was fine, but specified, “no more Four Seasoning.” washingtonpost.com/politics/20

  12. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany kept notes on her phone, including a quote she attributed to Trump about the Proud Boys: “they have to stand down.” Committee members noted the quote is inaccurate: Trump said at one of the 2020 presidential debates that they should “stand back and stand by.” McEnany acknowledged she has no documentation about where her version of the quote is from. washingtonpost.com/politics/20 #january6threport #jan6report #jan6thtranscripts #kayleighmcenany

  13. Pat Cipollone told the House committee that, after Jan. 6, 2021, he was concerned that Trump would issue a broad pardon for people involved in the attack on the Capitol, for members of Congress and even for himself. #january6threport #jan6report #january6thtranscripts #jan6thtranscripts #patcipollone

  14. Asked by the committee whether anyone contacted her after she was subpoenaed, McEnany said she believed she received a call from former president Donald Trump, but says she did not answer it.

  15. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) was one of at least three lawmakers who called Ivanka Trump as the attack on the Capitol unfolded, probably to ask for her help

  16. “Trump Campaign Senior Advisor Jason Miller testified to the Committee about this exchange:

    Miller: ‘I was in the Oval Office. And at some point in the conversation Matt Oczkowski, who was the lead data person, was brought on, and I remember he delivered to the President in pretty blunt terms that he was going to lose.’”
