On Tuesday, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol held its fourth hearing this month that focused on President Donald Trump’s pressure on top election officials, lawmakers and workers in Arizona and Georgia to overturn the 2020 election results in their states. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Wandrea “Shaye ” Moss, a former Georgia election worker, were among the witnesses who testified before the committee. The committee sought on Tuesday to bring to light the severity of the threat to democracy in the days and weeks after the election, given the enormous and persistent pressure by the president and by Rudy Giuliani on officials and ordinary Americans to promote the “big lie” that Trump had won the election.
