>> FROM THE LOCAL STATION NEWSFOURJAX. ♪
NEWSFOURJAX. ♪ ALSO WATCHING PLANES IN THE
SPOTLIGHT ON CAPITOL HILL WITH
THE SECOND HEARING BY THE
HOUSE COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING
JANUARY 6.
>> SOME OF FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S TOP OFFICIALS WERE
AMONG THOSE DESCRIBING WHAT
UNFOLDED AFTER ELECTION DAY.
>> THERE WAS AN AVALANCHE OF
ALL THESE ALLEGATIONS OF 4
THAT BUILT UP OVER A NUMBER OF
DAYS. AND IT WAS LIKE PLAYING
WHAC-A-MOLE BECAUSE SOMETHING
WILL COME ONE DAY AND THE NEXT
DAY WOULD BE ANOTHER ISSUE.
>> LOTS OF VIDEO TESTIMONY
FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S
INNER CIRCLE WAS ONE PART OF
THE PRESENTATION BY LAWMAKERS
INVESTIGATING THE ATTACK ON
THE CAPITOL.
>> THE LAWMAKERS ALSO HEARD
FROM WITNESSES WHO HAD TO
INVESTIGATE THOSE FALSE
CLAIMS. TARIK MINOR JOINS US
NOW TO BREAK DOWN MORE. THE
TESTIMONY IS A COMMITTEE DIG
DUG DEEPER. THAT IS INTO WHAT
IT CALLS THE BIG LIGHT ARC AND
THE MOST POWERFUL TESTIMONY
TODAY CAME FROM A VIDEOTAPED
INTERVIEW WITH FORMER ATTORNEY
GENERAL WILLIAM BARR WHO
DIDN’T HOLD HIS TONGUE WHILE
DESCRIBING TRUMP’S CLAIMS OF
ELECTION VOTER FRAUD.
>> HOLDING THAT THE STUFF THAT
HIS PEOPLE WERE SHUTTLING OUT
TO THE PUBLIC OR MEAN THAT THE
CLAIMS OF FRAUD WERE. YOU
KNOW, HE WAS INDIGNANT ABOUT
THAT. I REITERATED THAT THEY
WASTED A WHOLE THESE CLAIMS ON
THE
>> DOMINION VOTING MACHINES
AND THEY WERE IDIOTIC CLAIMS
EVEN BEFORE THE FINAL VOTES
WERE COUNTED IN THE 2020
ELECTION. ATTORNEY GENERAL
WILLIAM BARR SAYS FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ALREADY
ALLEGING FRAUD SAYING TRUMP
WAS INCREASINGLY AT ODDS WITH
REALITY. I WENT INTO THIS AND
WOOD.
>> TELL ME HOW CRAZY SOME OF
THESE ALLEGATIONS WERE. IT WAS
NEVER THERE WAS NEVER AN
INDICATION OF. INTEREST. WHAT
THE ACTUAL FACTS MY OPINION.
AND AND IN MY OPINION NOW
>> IS THE ELECTION WAS NOT
STOLEN BY FRAUD. I HAVEN’T
SEEN ANYTHING SINCE THE
ELECTION. THAT CHANGES MY MIND
ON THAT.
>> INCLUDING THE 2000 AND
YOU’LL AFTER THE ELECTION
HASN’T NOVEMBER 7TH. IN YOUR
JUDGMENT. WHAT WERE THE
CHANCES OF PRESIDENT TRUMP
WINNING THE ELECTION?
>> AFTER THAT POINT, YES, NOT.
>> BARR RESIGNED IN THE
AFTERMATH OF THE TALK OF VOTER
FRAUD. FORMER FOX NEWS
POLITICAL EDITOR CHRIS
STARWATCH DEFENDED HIS
NETWORK’S DECISION TO ANNOUNCE
JOE BIDEN WAS PROJECTED TO WIN
THE STATE OF ARIZONA SAYING
BIDEN’S LEAD WAS TO BEGIN.
TRUMP NEEDED KEY SWING STATES
TO COMPETE ANY FURTHER. HE
NEEDED 3 OF THESE STATES TO
CHANGE.
>> AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, I
MEAN, YOU’RE YOU’RE AND IN
FACT, YOU’RE BETTER OFF TO
PLAY THE THEN HAVE THAT COMING
AT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. LEGAL
TEAM KNEW.
>> THERE WAS NO LEGITIMATE
ARGUMENT, FRAUD,
IRREGULARITIES OR ANYTHING TO
OVERTURN THE ELECTION. AND YET
PRESIDENT TRUMP WENT AHEAD
WITH HIS PLANS FOR JANUARY 6.
ANYWAY, THE HOUSE SELECT
COMMITTEE ALSO REPLAYED VIDEOS
WHICH THEY SAY THEN PRESIDENT
TRUMP LIED TO THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC. WE HAVE A COMPANY.
>> THAT’S VERY SUSPECT.
>> ITS NAME IS DON’T CLAIMS
THAT WERE SHUT DOWN BY HIS OWN
LEGAL COUNSEL. I
>> THE DOMINION STUFF WAS. I
NEVER SAW ANY EVIDENCE
WHATSOEVER TO SUSTAIN THOSE
ALLEGATIONS. REPRESENTATIVE
ZOE LOFGREN CALLS TRUMP’S BIG
LIE. A BIG RIPOFF DETAILING
HIS FUNDRAISING EFFORTS IN THE
WEEKS FOLLOWING THE ELECTION.
>> BASED ON FALSE CLAIMS, THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN KNEW THESE
CLAIMS OF VOTER FRAUD OR
FALSE. YET HE CONTINUED TO
DOLLAR DONORS AND EMAILS
ENCOURAGING THEM TO DONATE TO
SOMETHING CALLED THE OFFICIAL
ELECTION DEFENSE FUND. THE
SELECT COMMITTEE DISCOVERED NO
SUCH FUND EXISTING.
>> I DON’T BELIEVE ACTUALLY A
FUND CALLED THE ELECTION ON.
>> DIFFERENT LEX AND THE
DEFENSE FUND IS ANOTHER AS I
THINK THE PUBLIC PARKING
TACTIC. YES.
>> NOW FORMER TRUMP CAMPAIGN
MANAGER BILL STEPIEN WAS
SCHEDULED TO APPEAR BUT HAD TO
CANCEL AT THE LAST MINUTE
BECAUSE HIS WIFE WENT INTO
LABOR. 3 OTHER REPUBLICANS,
THOUGH, TESTIFIED TODAY,
INCLUDING A FORMER
PHILADELPHIA CITY COMMISSIONER
AND A FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY FOR
THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF
GEORGIA. THEY TALKED ABOUT THE
THREATS THEIR OFFICES RECEIVED
AFTER FINALIZING THE VOTE.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANKS. THE NEXT
HEARING IS SET FOR WEDNESDAY
AT 10:00AM AND WE’LL BE
BRINGING THAT TO YOU LIVE
