The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection plans to present evidence during its latest hearing Tuesday of a campaign by President Donald Trump and his allies to pressure state officials to reverse 2020 presidential election results and of a scheme to offer fake slates of electors in seven battleground states won by Joe Biden.

The hearing in Washington, scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Eastern time, is also designed to highlight state and local officials who resisted pressure from Trump and those around him. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), whom Trump asked to “find” enough votes to flip the election in that state, is among the key witnesses. Others include Gabe Sterling, Raffensperger’s deputy; Shaye Moss, a Georgia election worker; and Arizona state House Speaker Russell “Rusty” Bowers (R).
