The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol presented its findings with testimony on Monday from former Fox News political director Chris Stirewalt and other witnesses. The committee used the second of several public hearings to show how former President Donald Trump pushed baseless claims that the election was stolen. The committee showed video testimony from top officials in the Trump administration who said former Vice President Mike Pence and White House were aware there was no evidence to support Trump's claims of voter fraud. Trump urged his supporters to march on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 after repeating false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and that then-Vice President Pence had the authority to change the outcome. "I hope Mike is going to do the right thing, I hope so. I hope so. Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election," Mr. Trump falsely said at the time.
