6:47Now PlayingRep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., spoke on Oct. 13 as the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack presented its findings to the public.
Murphy said the attempt of installing fake electors in states where former President Donald Trump lost the election and the pressure campaign on the Department of Justice and former Vice President Mike Pence were all a part of Trump’s plan to overturn the election.
“All these people -- Department of Justice officials, state elections officials, his own vice president -- stood strong in the face of President Trump's immense pressure,” she said. “But as we now know, President Trump had already summoned tens of thousands of his supporters to Washington on Jan. 6 to ‘take back’ their country.”
All these facts, Murphy said, demonstrated Trump’s “personal and substantial role in the plot to overturn the election. He was intimately involved. He was the central figure.”
The committee returned to its public-facing work after nearly three months, having rescheduled the current hearing two weeks ago in light of Hurricane Ian.
