The hearing begins with focus on an unsigned draft letter Trump & Jeffrey Clark wanted the DOJ to send to Georgia officials citing known lies to urge them to convene a special session to approve a fake set of electors
Trump didn't just lie about existence of fraud/that he lost, he lied about what DoJ/FBI had found (they'd found no evidence of widespread fraud).
Shows strength of the case for prosecutors to prove criminal intent.

Tucker Carlson had Jeffrey Clark on his show Thursday evening, but instead of asking him any questions about the January 6 hearing that placed him at the center of a conspiracy to overturn an election, Tucker gave him an uncritical forum to whine about the FBI raiding his home

New clip shows Trump talking about the rioters in March 2021:
"They were angry from the standpoint of what happened in the election. Because they're smart, and they say and they saw what happened, and I believe that that was a big part of what happened on Jan 6"

Witnesses told the Select Committee that Trump considered offering pardons to a wide range of individuals connected to the President.

They all asked for Trump to pardon them. If they hadn't broken the law, why were they asking for #pardons?

The DOJ must be a neutral enforcer of the law, not an agent of a political campaign. Donald Trump tried to turn the DOJ into an instrument of his political will to overthrow the people’s election of Joe Biden in 2020.
