During the congressional hearing on the January 6 case, Jason Miller, one of Donald Trump’s lawyers, explains that his colleague and most prominent Trump lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was “drunk” on election night.
The hearing will clarify whether Trump was to blame for the storming of Congress, among other things by claiming that the election was “stolen” from him during a meeting just before the storming.
Several close associates of Trump have explained themselves today. The tone of the review is that they did not see evidence of the widespread electoral fraud the president has later insisted on, and which was the background for the January 6 attack.
Video
During the hearing, a number of witness videos will be played, including Miller and former campaign manager Bill Stepien.

Also Stepien – as not meet physically due to a family emergency – describes Giuliani as drunk, and upset that Fox News’ political editor announced Joe Biden as the winner of Arizona.
‘We won it. They steal it from us, we have to say we won “, said Giuliani according to the two witnesses, reports NBC Chicago.
Miller further claims that the lawyer threatened that “everyone who does not believe in this is weak”.
Stepien says in the video that he thinks Trump should not have declared victory on election night, but should rather wait for the count.
Can overturn election plans
Giuliani first became world-famous as mayor of New York, before joining Trump’s legal team.

If the committee finds that the ex-president is guilty of the charges, it could potentially confuse his plans to run for president again.
– The conspiracy to put the will of the people aside is not over, the committee’s leader, Democrat Bennie Thompson has said.
«Red air mirror»
Trump’s Attorney General William Barr explains via video that Trump’s election night “claimed that there was a large-scale election fraud going on”.
The Congressional Committee discusses “red air mirroring” – a phenomenon that often occurs on election night, because Republicans (red) who have voted on election day get their votes counted first; Democrats (blue) who often vote early or by email get their votes counted later.
This can create the impression that the Republicans are leading early in the evening, and then have the lead reduced as the democratic votes are counted.

Barr explains that Trump was well aware of the “red air mirror” – but that he exploited the phenomenon for what it was worth to substantiate the allegation of cheating.
– It seemed that it was the basis for this broad allegation of extensive cheating, says the former Minister of Justice in the video.
Do not believe in election fraud movies
Barr also denies the allegations in the popular film “2000 Mules” – which is about how “mules” should have been paid for illegally collecting and delivering ballot papers in several states for the benefit of Democrats.
The film has been repeatedly “debunked” by fact-checkers, including in Reuterswho believes that Trump-friendly director Dinesh D’Souza, among other things, makes wrong conclusions about mobile data.
– I think the photographic evidence was missing. There is a bit of that, but it is deficient, and does not prove extensive ballot collection, says Barr.
