Bennie Thompson, Democrat)) “He betrayed the trust of the American people. He ignored the will of the voters. He lied to his supporters and the country. And he tried to remain in office after the people had voted him out and the courts upheld the will of the people.” ((Cutaways of hearing, shots of Sapien, Ivanka Trump, Giuliani in 11;03;10;03 MRT HOUSE JAN 6 ivanka jared kushner interview BROLL)) ((MANDATORY COURTESY: January 6 Committee Video)) ((NARRATOR)) Investigators said that on election night 2020, the president insisted on declaring victory … ((11;10;24;29 MRT HOUSE JAN 6 trump frankly we did win this election)) ((Donald Trump, Former US President)) “This is a fraud on the American people.

Ballots. Ballots were still being counted. Ballots were still going to be counted for days. And it was far too early to be making any proclamation like that." ((Broll of Giuliani testifying in AP Election Night)) ((MANDATORY COURTESY: January 6 Committee Video)) ((NARRATOR)) … with the exception of a campaign lawyer, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, ((END COURTESY)) who witnesses said was drunk that night. ((AP Election Night-SOT 22)) ((Jason Miller, Former Trump Campaign Senior Adviser)) “Mayor Giuliani was saying, ‘We won it. They're stealing it from us. Where did all the votes come from? We need to go say that we won.’ And essentially that anyone who didn't agree with that position was being weak." ((Broll of Barr and Trump)) ((NARRATOR)) Former Attorney General Bill Barr, the nation's top law enforcement official at the time of the 2020 election, ((MANDATORY COURTESY: January 6 Committee Video)) testified the president had continued with false claims of fraud in the weeks after election night, ((END COURTESY)) even after it was clear he had lost. ((11;49;13;11 MRT HOUSE JAN 6 ginsberg the trump campaign did not make its case)) ((MANDATORY COURTESY: January 6 Committee Video)) ((Bill Barr, Former US Attorney General)) “I was somewhat demoralized because I thought, 'Boy, if he really believes this stuff, he has lost contact with — he's become detached from reality [[COVER CUT With white flash]] When I went into this and would tell him how crazy some of these allegations were, there was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were." ((END COURTESY)) ((Broll of officials being sworn in from AP Election Officials)) ((NARRATOR)) Election officials from three key states and an election lawyer from the Republican Party also said the Trump campaign’s subsequent attempts to prove fraud in court were unfounded. ((12;34;44;14 MRT HOUSE JAN 6 ginsberg the trump campaign did not make its case)) ((Ben Ginsberg, Republican Party Lawyer)) "The simple fact is that the Trump campaign did not make its case.” ((NARRATOR)) Committee lawmakers said the Trump campaign benefited from stretching out those fraudulent claims, raising millions of dollars that went to pro-Trump organizations. ((12;45;17;28 MRT HOUSE JAN 6 lofgren donors deserve to know where their funds are really going)) ((Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Democrat)) “We found evidence that the Trump campaign and its surrogates misled donors as to where their funds would go and what they would be used for. So not only was there ‘the big lie,’ there was ‘the big rip off.’ Donors deserve to know where their funds are really going.” ((Broll of Kevin McCarthy, other Republicans in GYPSON Day 1 TV pkg then over to broll of Trump and hearings)) ((NARRATOR)) Almost all congressional Republicans have called the January 6 committee’s work illegitimate and have continued to support the former president.
