Jan. 6 Hearing Shows Trump Was Told He Lost — and Kept Lying Anyway
The House Jan. 6 committee used its June 13 hearing to present testimony and documents showing that Trump’s own advisers and appointees told him he had lost the 2020 election and that the fraud claims were baseless. Instead of backing off, he kept pushing the stolen-election narrative and treating it like a political strategy. That made the hearing less a revelation than a confirmation of what critics have been arguing for a year and a half: Trump was not misled, he was the one doing the misleading.
