He continued, "It is breathtaking that these arguments even were conceived, let alone entertained by the President of the United States at that perilous moment in history" and that January 6 "was the final fateful day for the execution of a well-developed plan by the former president to overturn the 2020 presidential election at any cost." On Sept. 1 the committee revealed a new area of inquiry: It asked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) to testify voluntarily about his role in spreading misinformation about the election in the days leading up to the December 14, 2020, meeting of the Electoral College. According to the committee, evidence shows that Mr. Gingrich pushed messages designed to incite anger among voters even after Georgia election officials had faced intimidation and threats of violence.. "[3] Committee member Jamie Raskin stated, "Donald Trump solicited the mob; he summoned the mob to Washington All of this was targeted on the joint session of Congress.

Reuters analysis of the legal language of the email solicitations days after they began showed that donors were asked to register for recurring donations and that donations under $8,000 would not go into a defense fund, but rather to Trump's Save America PAC and to the Republican National Committee, which would have broad discretion over the funds.

Cheney said Trump's efforts were part of a "sophisticated seven-part plan", which the committee hearings would establish. Hutchinson recalled legal advice given by Eric Herschmann, who said it would be "foolish" to include some of the phrases, such as "We're going to March to the Capitol" and "Fight for Trump Fight for the movement." "[252] Two days after the hearing, Politico reported that Hutchinson was the recipient of the quoted communications, prior to her March 7 deposition, and that the "he is thinking about you" message came from an intermediary for Mark Meadows. The committee also heard from Stephen Ayres, one of the rioters who broke into the Capitol that day and pleaded guilty last month to a misdemeanour count of disorderly conduct. [174], Former White House lawyer Eric Herschmann had told the committee that Rudy Giuliani privately admitted on the morning of January 6 that Pence didn't have authority to overturn the election, even though Giuliani gave a speech at the Ellipse that afternoon telling the opposite to the crowd. The Guardian wrote that "Taken together, the new revelations appear to show that the chief watchdog for the Secret Service and the DHS took deliberate steps to stop the retrieval of texts it knew were missing, and then sought to hide the fact that it had decided not to pursue that evidence. And that even though he knew full well he had lost the election, Trump fought it anyway because he was embarrassed about losing Biden. Give me a breakI think you're going to find that they are shredding ballots because they have to get rid of the ballots because the ballots are unsigned, the ballots are are corrupt and they're brand new and they don't have seals and there's a whole thing with the ballots, but the ballots are corrupt and you're going to find that they are which is totally illegal.

Trump became aware of the breach and at 2:24pm tweeted, "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what was necessary."

The fifth hearing focused on Trump's attempts to meddle with the Department of Justice and install loyalists at the Department who would back up his false election claims, featuring in-person testimony from three former DOJ officials. According to the committee, Trump "lied to the American people, ignored all evidence refuting his false fraud claims, pressured state and federal officials to throw out election results favoring his challenger, encouraged a violent mob to storm the Capitol and even signaled support for the execution of his own vice president."[88][89].
