The committee takes a brief recess after testimony from Russell Bowers.
Some key points to emerge from previously recorded depositions including one with the former aide to Mark Meadows, Cassidy Hutchinson.
Hutchinson told the committee that Meadows, Giuliani and “a few of Giuliani’s associates” were present when the White House Office of Legal Counsel informed them that campaign that the alternate elector scheme was likely illegal.
Partial deposition was played from some of the Trump electors and members of state Republican parties.
Andrew Hitt, the former chair of the Wisconsin GOP , for example, testified that he was told by the reelection campaign that the alternate electors would only count if Trump could make the case in court and judges ruled in their favor.
That never happened.
Laura Cox, a former member of the Michigan GOP told the committee that electors in that state planned to meet in the state Capitol building and hide overnight. They understood, she said, that per state law, electors could only legally fulfill their duties and cast their votes if doing so in the statehouse.
Investigative counsel for the committee on Tuesday also showed email correspondence from the Trump campaign to their allied electors saying that they would pay for legal fees if they were caught up after the fact.
Text messages obtained by the committee also show how two days before Jan. 6, the Trump campaign asked for someone in Wisconsin to fly their fake elector documents to DC.
This could be the “intent” the committee needs to show that Trump was aware of the scheme.
An aide for Sen. Ron Johnson’s office asked to pass off slates of alternate electors to Trump directly to Pence on Jan. 6 around 12:30 P.M. and was quickly rebuffed.
