it was sleazy adam schiff, etc, etc. and my son was then 13. he was at camp and the nice thing about camp is they take away your electronics. and so when even i went to pick him up, we hope that he wouldn't have heard it from anyone else and and we wanted to tell him in a normal world. it'd be kind of a big deal because sleazy by the president united states, you know becoming quite routine, but in a at that time, it was pretty extraordinary. so we went to pick up my son and i said eli something happened while you're at camp. it's not a big deal. but i wanted you to hear it for me. the president united states called your father's sleazy. and he pause for a moment as he process. what did that mean? and then he looked up and he said, can i call you sleazy? to which i replied. well only if you want me to call you sleazy junior and we figured he was going to be okay, but but you know just to add on to what dr. hill was saying. she and other witnesses who came and testified in the ukrainian investigation. they were nonpartisans. they were query diplo

please welcome back to "the late show," congressman adam schiff!u, sir. thank you for being here. i know you and the rest of the january 6 committee are extraordinarily busy right now, preparing for tomorrow's prime-time broadcast of the congressional hearings. we've seen a lot of hearings over the last five years, two impeachment hearings. we've seen the mueller hearings. how are these hearings that are going to kick off tomorrow night different? >> they'll be different in a number of respects. the mueller hearing was essentially one witness speaking in very-- well, abriefated fashion before the committee, very little in terms of audio or visual, other elements to that hearing. even the ukraine hearings incorporated documentary evidence in additional live testimony. but both were characterized by vigorous in-fighting among committee members. this investigation has been utterly nonpartisan. we have been singulary devoted to pursuing the truth, so you're going to see none of the kind of bickering that usually characterizes congressional hearings. we

schiff: thank you.y: to further understand today's hearing i am joined by journalist garrett graff, author of "watergate: a new history." and ned foley, who directs ohio state university's election law program and is the former solicitor general of ohio. we welcome both of you to the program. ned, i am going to start with you. what stood out to you today? we have been discussing fo several minutes what happened at today's hearing. what stood out to you? ned: great to be with you. you played the clip that made the strongest impression on me. that was the moment where rig jacob -- greg jacob said that eastman essentially confessed he would not want a democratic vice president like al gore, kamala harris, to have this power. that is just a confession of how partisan this whole enterprise was. and i think that put the exclamation point of how wrongful this was for our country. judy: and garrett, this in question, and especially as someone who has spent so much time studying watergate. including the watergat

caller: i really feel adam schiff is someone you should not look for. he is someone that has perpetrated a big lie himself it's called russian collusion. ever since mr. trump and became president trump, before he was even inaugurated, you had somebody yelling impeach 45. so this man has done on -- a great job under duress the entire time he was the president. it was constant\by democrats because their lady in charge hillary clinton did not win. that's the unfortunate part because when the president wins everybody should say we are enjoying life and hopefully they will do the best for our country. unfortunately that's not what happened. so therefore you have >> we'll take you live now to capitol hill where nfl commissioner roger goodell is testifying on league's handling of complaints against the washington commanders and team owner dan snyder for its alleged toxic workplace

schiff hasn't taken any responsibility for the russia hoax and he should. he repeated lie after lie after lie that cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. that's why arrests like this need to be public of publicized and people need to be held accountable for these decisions so we start to see there is not two tiers of justice. justice doesn't have a red shirt or blue shirt on. >> jesse: all right. colbert producers breached the capitol, were arrested. and adam schiff was complicit and what's what we have tonight on "jesse watters primetime" at 7:00. it's just ironic this is happening as the january 6th committee is holding hearings and on the 50th anniversary of the watergate break-in. rich with irony. congressman, thank you so much for joining us and hopefully we can get to the bottom of this. again, i want to see the mug shots. talk to the capitol police. don't be hiding the mug shots like they did with our friend paul pelosi out in napa county, okay? >> gotcha, thanks for having me on. >> jesse: thank you very much. big problems at the biden whit

schiff's questioning. and the issue i'm wondering is: how is this committee avoiding confirmation bias? because i don't know they are. >> i didn't think schiff's question was particularly effective. schiff was essentially testifying and then asking the witness to rubber stamp with a yes or no at the end. >> wouldn't you want it reversed for public relations purposes? i would want to hear bowers say the things schiff asked him. >> that's why we have rules like that in court. when it is direct testimony, when it is your witness, that witness has to tell the story. you have to get the evidence from the witness. you can't state it and get the answer to say uh-huh or yes. >> he was a powerful witness any way. >> don't you want him to get emotional and tell his story? that makes it so real because, make no mistake about it, there have been a lot of witnesses. some have firsthand knowledge. others don't really in the same way. this is somebody that experienced the pressure not j from trump team, but in the threat

and congressman schiff said there remains a possibility that vice president mike pence could still be subpoenaed to testify. joining us is congressman adam schiff of california, chairman of the house intelligence committee, sir, i know this is cramming night, and thank you for making time for being here. i really appreciate it. >> you bet. >> first, let me ask you for an on air fact check. am i correct in telling our audience tonight, that the focus tomorrow will largely be the pressure on individual states to overthrow they're election result, including that bizarre set of forgery, the fake trump electors? >> yes, that's exactly right, and i think you set up the quence in the right order, we heard about the pressure campaign in our last hearing directly, that the vice president put his life in jeopardy, was premised on the completely unconstitutional theory and argument, and now, you will hear about the pressure campaign directed at state legislators, at state elections officials and local elections workers putting their lives very much at risk and this was really unprecedented in u.

he has a different take on this than adam schiff.am schiff and the discussion of gas prices is next. stay with us from london. like the shot they take. the memories they create. or the spin they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, you can achieve clearer skin. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla can cause serious allergic reactions. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. i had been giving koli kibble. it never looked like real food. with the farmer's dog you can see the pieces of tur

it sounded like schiff they're making a strong tie directly to the president for that. >> yeah, poppy, i think what we've seen in the previous hearings is the efforts that donald trump made and his allies made to put pressure on mike pence. now we're seeing how much wider this went and how the efforts extended into the states. you a key part was a plot to put forward these fake electors. the question is, who can you tie this to around the president and ask can you tie it to the former president directly? here's what adam schiff had to say about that in his interview with dana. >> we'll show evidence of the president's involvement in this scheme. we'll also again show evidence about what his own lawyers came to think about this scheme, and we'll show courageous state officials who stood up and said they wouldn't go along with this plan to either call legislators back into session. >> now, we've seen a lot of documents in previous months about the trump lawyers talking about this scheme but it will be interesting to see what the committee can put forward about what donald trump knew dir

today is questioning will be led by down credit committee member adam schiff. he has represented california's 28 district for 11 terms and also says on the house judiciary committee. he participated in both impeachment proceedings against former president donald trump as an impeachment manager. he was most in attorney and a prosecutor for serving in congress. today the committee will hear from four witnesses, russell bowers, speaker of the arizona house of representatives, brad raffensperger, georgia secretary of state, gabriel sterling, ceo of the georgia secretary of state's office, all republicans. and a former georgia elections department employee who served in a nonpartisan position. today's coverage of the january six committee and all of c-span's programming is brought to you as a public service by the cable industry. and, these television companies including verizon, comcast, and charter communications. and a reminder if you need to step away from your tv you can follow all of today's hearing on the go with c-span now. congressional sessions and speeche

they succeeded thanks to adam schiff and another democrat named jake ouchen close. sunni tight, the democrat machine immediately kicked into gear. nothing to see here. no mug shots, no surveillance video. nothing and they got to go home. because, as you know by now, it's democrat when a democrat commits a crime. they think it's funny. watch. >> here is what happened last week i heard from my old colleague triumph the insult comic dog. [laughter] triumph offered to go down to d.c. and interview some congress people to highlight the january 6th hearings. after they finished their interviews, they were doing some last-minute puppet tri and joey make them up in the hallway when triumph and approached and detained by the capitol police. this is first degree puppetry. high jinx. in this case a puppet doing puppet stuff. >> jesse: see, they think it's funny. this isn't the first time they pulled a stunt like this. we learned today that a man who works for congressman timothy highsen. here is johnny. was caught on camera back in different instances from january to march van

schiff is introducing new legislation which he hopes will become a bipartisan effort. he was to suspend the federal gas tax until the end of 2023, which is currently about $0.18 per gallon. >> this will lower prices at the pump. and bring immediate relief to drivers everywhere. >> schiff explains the federal gas tax pays for highway construction and improvements. mass transit and other important projects. in its absence, he would make big oil pay the costs levying a new 50% tax on their windfall or excess profits. we know that they can certainly foot the bill. >> i'm convinced this will we have toyed with the idea of a windfall profits tax on these oil company profits. we haven't really ever done and i think it's the one thing that will help keep in check this. a gouge by the oil companies. >> well, that was chris wolfe reporting is a look at the most expensive gas prices in the bay area. according to aaa in san francisco, the average price is close to 6.50, followed by marin county is 6.47. and san mateo county a little bit over 6.40. sanctions continue as the war in

we're gonna have adam schiff joining us. he's a member of the committee. and based on what you are saying a few minutes ago. i'm gonna ask him, if their investigation, talking to the pence staff, did anyone explain to the committee why the day before january 6th, when donald trump put out a statement saying mike pence and i completely agree that mike pence has the authority to reject electors, why didn't mike pence immediately put out a statement saying, no this is my position? why did he wait until the next day, that one of the attack on the capital was already underway -- >> yes. i mean, he could've said i want everyone in america including those who are coming to washington tomorrow to support me and the president, i want everybody to be under no illusions. i do not have the power to throughout the election results, nor does any individual american as our forefathers said. and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow, and america forever. but i'm not gonna do that. >> i mean, the chief of staff, calls up the trump guy and complains about it. but why don't

this testimony is basically adam schiff's pk.sip that has been debunked, but is put into the public to damage trump. who cares if it's true or not? 3-2-1, action! think of all the man-hours congress put into this that congress could have spent trying to keep our streets safe. watch. instead of protecting our street, democrats are doing everything they can to protect their own power. they said january 6th makes a great movie, they need something about hunter biden in the big guy. let's just scam them of everything. chinese spies, russian, drugs, strippers, a last lap top, i lost diary. tick box from communists, a federal money-laundering investigation. hello? we don't even need testimony on second-hand, we have the president of the united states leaving a voice mail for his son telling him he's in the player. after the media expose his corrupt business deals with the chinese. listen. >> not going to hurt you. was good. in the clear. >> jesse: million dollars from beijing to represent a chinese spy who was under surveillance. got c

chairman schiff. >> thank you, mr. chairman. just going back to the 2021 report under the category of uap epididymis to advance of technology, those 18 incidents in which some of the uap appear during stationary, maneuver abruptly or at considerable speed without some means of propulsion that goes on to say in his moment of case of military aircraft systems process right a frequency energy associate with uap sightings. i couldn't tell from that whether that small number of cases was a part of the subset of 18, that is, among the 18 which appear to move with unusual pattern or flight characteristics, did some of those also emit radiofrequency energy? >> i would have to check with our uap task force on that. i believe, without getting into specifics that we can do in the closed session, at least some that we've detected our emissions from were not behaving oddly otherwise. >> and in the significance of measuring the radiofrequency energy is what, that we suspect that this was some form of aircraft in which there were radio transmi

caller: i really feel adam schiff is someone you should not look for.e is someone that has perpetrated a big lie himself it's called russian collusion. ever since mr. trump and became president trump, before he was even inaugurated, you had somebody yelling impeach 45. so this man has done on -- a great job under duress the entire time he was the president. it was constant\by democrats because their lady in charge hillary clinton did not win. that's the unfortunate part because when the president wins everybody should say we are enjoying life and hopefully they will do the best for our country. unfortunately that's not what happened. so therefore you have the scenario we have today and it's sad. thank you for your time. host: new haven, connecticut, democrats line. caller: my name is doris. i just want to say that the democrats and liz cheney and the other person in the republican party, they are doing a good job, they are telling the truth and what's happening is this is not about either party. this is about our democracy. that's what this is about. an

schiff. ms.ss, i want to thank you for sharing with us the very troubling story of what you and your mother experienced. the harassment of election workers like you simply for doing your duty as public servants poses a threat to our democratic process. your testimony is an important contribution to the work of our committee and serves as a reminder to all of us that the safety of local election officials is vital to ensuring that our elections are always free and fair. i want to thank our witness for joining us today. the members of the select committee may have additional questions for today's witness and we ask that you respond expeditiously in writing to those questions. without objection, members will be permitted ten business days to submit statements for the record including opening remarks and additional questions for the witness. without objection, the chair recognizes the gentleman from california mr. schiff for a closing statement. >> for more than 200 years our democracy has been disti

adam schiff. miss moss, thank you for sharing with us the very troubling story of what you and your mother experienced. the harassment of election workers like you, who are simply doing their duty as a public service, poses a threat to our democratic process. your testimony as an important contribution to the work of our committee and serves as a reminder to all of us about the safety of local election officials is vital to ensuring that our elections are always free and fair. i want to thank our witness for joining us today. the members of the select committee may have additional questions for today's witness and we ask that you respond expeditiously in writing to those questions. without objection, members will be permitted ten business days to submit statements for the record. including opening remarks and additional questions for the witnesses. without objection, the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, adam schiff for a closing statement. >> for more than 200 years, our democracy h

adam schiff, will present much of the findings on this matter., our vice chair, miss cheney, from wyoming, with statements she would like to offer. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. we will examine president trump's effort to overturn the election. donald trump had a direct and personal role in this effort, as did rudy giuliani, as did john eastman. in other words, the same people who were attempting to pressure vice president mike pence to reject electoral votes illegally were also simultaneously working to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election at the state level. each of these efforts to overturn the election independently serious, each deserves attention both by congress and by our department of justice. but, as a federal court has already indicated, these efforts were also part of a broader plan and all of this was done in preparation for january 6th. i would note two points for particular focus today. first, today you will hear about calls made by president trump to officials of georgia and other states. as you listen to these tapes,

during pricing by cal forney commerce member adam schiff.joined by her mother. >> how did you first become aware that rudy giuliani, the president's lawyer, was accusing you and your mother of a crime? >> i was at work, like always, and the former chief mr. jones asked me to come to his office. and when i went to his office, the former director was in there and they showed me a video on their computer. it was just like a very short clip of us working at state farm, and it had someone on the video, like, talking over the video, just saying that we were doing things that we weren't supposed to do, just lying throughout the video. and that's when i first found out about it. >> and were there social media posts that they showed you responding to those false claims? >> well, when -- when i saw the video, of course the first thing th i saw it was, like, why? why are they doing this? what's going on? and they, you know, just told me that trump and his allies were not satisfied with the outcome of the election, and they -- they were getting a lot of

i watched adam schiff to the other day -- shifty schiff -- we call him medlin had -- watermelon heah.laughter] i watched them for 2.5 years stand in front of a podium or stand in front of a press just like this -- "it is terrible what president trump has done, with his relationship with russia" -- i'm saying, russia, what did i have to do with russia? this went on for 2.5 years. and it turned out to be a hoax. it's been no revealed. some of the papers -- some of the media has already a -- already admitted it. i will never forget when this guy, he knew it was a fig story -- fake story, i will never forget when he stood up at the microphone and said, "donald trump, jr. will go to prison -- go to prison for what he has done to our country, and for his relationship with russia." and i said, what the hell is going on? [laughter] it's true. think of how about a person you have to be. you know it is a fig story. it was made up by him and hillary clinton and all these -- [no audio] announcer: we seem to have lost our signal from this live event. we will work to resolve the issue. we hope to r

schiff will present much of the select committee's finding on this matter. first, i am pleased to recognize our vice chair, miss cheney of wyoming for any opening statements she would care to offer. >> thank you very much, mister chairman. today we will begin examining president trump's effort to overturn the election by pressure of state officials and legislatures. president trump had intellect and personal role in this effort as did rudy giuliani. other words, the same people who were attempting to pressure vice president mike pence to reject electoral vote illegally were also simultaneously working to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election at the state level. each of these efforts to overturn the election is independently serious, each deserves attention both by congress and by our department of justice. as the federal court has already indicated, these efforts were already part of a better plan. preparation from january 6th. i would note 2.4 particular focus today, first, today you will hear about calls made by president trump to officials of georgia a

congressman schiff, thank you very much. >> thank.out how trump failed, the spirit of his lies live on, in some senses. to truly understand the big lie's grip, you want to hear our next story, don't go away. story, don't go away. with parodontax active gum health. it kills 99% of plaque bacteria and forms an antibacterial shield. try parodontax active gum health mouthwash. hi! need new glasses?! get 2 pairs for $99 at visionworks! how can you see me squinting?! i can't! i'm just telling everyone! hey! now, get two complete pairs starting at $99. visionworks. see the difference. for people living with h-i-v, keep being you. and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer trans

tomorrow it'll be adam schiff that will lead the next hearing, we are told it will focus on the pressureout their election results, as well as the plot to sense forged sense of fake trump electors to the electoral college. on the eve of that hearing tomorrow congress and made that shift a little show evidence of trump's personal involvement in the fake elector plot. he's also saying tomorrow's hearing will reveal new details about the white house chief of staff, mark meadows, and his role in the plot in georgia. congressman schiff also says it remains a possibility that vice president pence could still be subpoenaed to testify. joining us now is congressman adam schiff of california, -- chairman of the house intelligence committee, sir, i know that this is cramming night thank you for making time to be here, i really appreciate it. >> you bet. >> first, let me ask you for a on-air fact-check, am i correct in telling our audience tonight that the focus tomorrow will largely be the pressure on individual states to overthrow their election results, including that bizarre set of forgeries, t

chairman schiff. >> thank you, mister chairman. mr. bray, can you really run that first image that was outside of a plague window? if you wouldn't mind going up to the screen and telling us what we are seeing. not that you can necessarily tell us what we are seeing, but explain what we should be looking at in that first image. >> absolutely. alexei, what i'll ask is if you can stop it at a certain point. [noise] >> a real looking outside of a civilian aircraft window? is that what we're looking at? >> that is a u.s. navy -- >> okay. >> it shows how difficult the analysis is. go a bit for their forward, alexei? as you can see, -- well you'll find eventually on this, literally on one frame here, a spherical object that passes right through here. [inaudible] >> is that it right there? >> [inaudible] >> can you point to the screen again, what we're supposed to be looking at? okay, if you could stop that frame. >> [inaudible] [inaudible] you'll see coming up right here, -- a spherical object right here, by the window, right in this area. th

what did schiff know and when did he know it? the capitol hill police covering up this crime? when too we get to see the surveillance footage? did schiff commit any unseemly acts on triumph the dog? without the video, our minds are just left to speculate. when will we see stephen colbert testify? he incited a mob of producers who breached the capitol and interfered with the democratic process. will anybody be shackled like peter navarro? we don't know. we are going to find out. we aren't going to let this go. can you help. the head of the capitol police is chief jay thomas manger called him 202-224-1677. for some reason he doesn't like "primetime," i don't know everybody likes "primetime." i don't know what's wrong with the chief. congressman jim jordan is the republican judiciary committee ranking member and he joins us now. so, do you expect to see surveillance footage and mug shots? are we going to get any cooperation from capitol hill police? they certainly cooperated with the january 6th committee. >> yeah. we'll see. that's

schiff. >> thank you, mr. chairman. secretary raffensperger, did joe biden win the 2020 election in georgia and by what margin? >> president biden carried the state of georgia by approximately 12,000 votes. >> and as i understand your office took several steps to ensure the accuracy of the vote countim in georgia. reviewing the vote count in at least three different ways. the steps include a machine recount, a forensic audit, and a full hand recount of every one of the 5 million ballots cast. did these efforts including a recount literally of every ballot cast in a state of georgia confirmed the result? >> yes, they did. we counted the ballots the first tablet would be scanned. then when we get our 100% hand audit of the entire all 5 million ballots in the state of georgia, all casting plays, all absentee ballots they were all hand recount and they came the first close to count. and thenmiot upon the election g certified, president trump because he was within i have person that could ask for recount and we recount the m

testimony at the we have adam schiff second public here with us tonight, hearing of we're going to ask him some follow-up the house committee questions. -- that is about the testimony from donald georgia investigation, trump's own we have attorney general, william raphael moran, barr, as well as we will get his former top reactions of what he heard today officials of trump's about his state of georgia in the january 6th committee. >> go lawrence. >> thank you rachel. >> -- >> on the second day of this historic hearing the most important words spoken in washington today were not in the hearing but at the podium in the justice department when attorney general answered the question that i asked adam schiff after the first hearing last week. >> i want to ask you whether you had a chance to look at the hearings, we're watching hearings on capitol hill on january 6th. have you learned anything, perhaps, that could be useful for the justice department? >> i am watching and i will be watching all the hearings. although, i might not be of the watch all of them live. i will be sure to watch them

we still have adam schiff joining us in just a moment.of the investigation who led today's hearing. one of the people we heard from and one of the witnesses from the information today was the michigan secretary of state. we'll hear from her as well. but the final point we're going to recap now was sort of mind blowing to me, mind blowing amount of new information on the issue of fake electors. the hearing today revealed a lot of new information on the part of the plot where trump tried to make republican officials in states he lost nevertheless send in electors to the electoral college for him as if he had won. ill just nut up what i saw at least as the new information we learned today from the hearing. first, we saw that from the hearing today that the white house counsel's office said explicitly hold people including mark meadows and rudy giuliani, explicitly told them that their fake elector scheme was not legal. also, we learned the trump campaign lawyers bailed on the scheme. made sure they themselves had nothing to do with it they t

good morning, congressman schiff. i want to ask you -- >> good morning. >> -- did we hear your strongest evidence in the first hearing, or are there new revelations in the upcoming hearings that could offer hard proof that donald trump was responsible for what happened on january 6th? >> i think you heard a good sampling of what you're going to see in the hearings to come. the evidence is very powerful that donald trump began telling this big lie even before the election that he was saying that any ballots counted after election day were going to be inherently suspect. that lie continued after the election and ultimately led to this mob assembling and attacking the capitol, and i think you heard just a few examples of what those witnesses have said behind closed doors. there's a lot more testimony where that came from, and i think most important is that we're weaving together how each line of effort to overturn the election led to another led to another and then ultimately culminated in that violent attack on january

representative schiff, we're so happy you're here. thank you.ppreciate it. >> great to be with you. >> so john eastman is the conservative lawyer who tried to pressure pence to overturn the election, as you know. will you be able to prove that trump was behind this campaign? >> well, you know, i think we certainly are presenting evidence that the president was the architect of this whole lot plott to overturn the election with its different elements, elements that included all the litigation, the big lie that drove it all, a pressure campaign on state and local officials, and, as you'll see later this week, the pressure campaign on the vice president. he was obviously part and parcel of that issue in his own tweets going out to the mall to pressure the vice president. so the evidence, much of it in the public eye is powerful and there's more the public will see this week. >> thursday's hearing -- it was going to be wednesday. thursday's hearing will focus on mike pence. why didn't the committee ask pence himself to testify or is his chief of sta

that segment with peter schiff was terrifying.hings are going to get a lot worse and they don't seem to care. >> well, first of all, on a personal level, the more i've watched the last five or six weeks, the more i worried about my own investment strategies, what i'm doing in terms of trying to save money, where to put it, what's happening. i think it's really an enormous, enormous problem. and the average american knows it because they go out and they buy gasoline. or they go to the store to buy food. or they try to find infant formula. you just go down the whole list. and i think for the white house to think that this is not a substantive real-life problem is a sign of how totally out of touch with everyday normal americans they are. and i think it's an enormous problem. >> laura: now, john kerry, probably freshly off a private jet, admits kind of that this was all intentional. watch. >> energy security worry is driving a lot of the thoughts now about, oh, we need more drilling, we need more drilling of this, we need to go back.

they write that congressman adam schiff, former federal prosecutor led the questioning. he called trump's lies about the election results a dangerous cancer on the body politic. again, we'll hear more the testimony this hour from some of the people who testified yesterday. first, though, the comments of adam schiff as the hearing got underway. >> the presidents lie was and is a dangerous cancer on the body politic. if you can convince americans that they cannot trust their own elections, that anytime they lose it is somehow a legitimate, then what is left but violence to determine who should govern? this brings us to the focus of today's hearing. when a state election officials refused to stop the count, donald trump's campaign tried to put pressure on them. when state is active officials refused to certify the winner of states he lost, he applied more pressure. when state legislators refused to go back into session and appoint trump electors, he amped of the pressure it again. anyone who got in the way of donald trump's continued to hold on power after he lost the elect
