Pressures, intimidation and threats on behalf of the former US President, Donald Trumpcomplained officials during their testimony before the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry on invasion of the Capitol.
In particular, the leader of the Republican MPs in Arizona referred yesterday, Tuesday, to the methods used by Trump and his lawyers to to persuade him to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in this state, in which won by Joe Biden.
The Republican billionaire justified his request by explaining that he was convinced that his “election” was “stolen”, reiterating his allegations of fraud, for which he never gave evidence and which have been rejected by courts.
Trump’s claims about Arizona victory were ‘false’ Rasti Bowers, Speaker of the House of Representatives, assured the committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
Bowers, according to the APE-MPE, also called “false” the allegations of Rudy Giuliani, the lawyer of the former US president, who had stated that “hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants and thousands of dead voted for Biden.”
Bower stressed that he “never” saw evidence of these allegations.
After refusing to convene the local parliament to cancel the vote and replace the voters received “more than 20,000 emails and tens of thousands of phone calls and messages”. Also, protestersoften menacingσgathered in front of his house to insult him, he pointed out, testifying to the committee with tears in his eyes.
“I just thought it was a tragic parody,” said Bowers, who voted for Trump in 2016 and backed him in the 2020 election.
Trump: “I just need to find 11,780 votes, help me”
For his part, Brad Rafensperger, Minister of the Interior of Georgia, told the inquiry committee that received a phone call from Trump during which the former US president asked him to “find” almost 12,000 votes in his favorenough to defeat Biden in this Republican-controlled southern state.
“I just need to get 11,780 votes. I need 11,000 votes, help me “said the former president to the Minister of Interior of Georgia.
And in this case, Trump talked about fraud. “I think you will find that they are tearing up ballots because they want to get rid of them,” he said in an audio document presented to the commission of inquiry, adding: “The ballots are corrupted.”
Rafensperger did not succumb to pressure. “All I knew was that there were no ballots to find. “Ballots were not torn.”
Except for Rafensperger Sei Moss also became a target of threatsto be a member of the Atlanta Electoral Commission who participated in the vote count along with her mother.
Trump accused them of being “professional anarchists.”
“It changed my life,” Moss commented yesterday, testifying to the inquiry committee, explaining that received racist messages and threats to her life.
