Lawmakers investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection said Sunday they can provide evidence that Donald Trump tried to overthrow his election loss to Joe Biden even though he knew he had lost – a key legal point if he is prosecuted over actions that led directly to the violence at the U.S. Capitol.
Future hearings, including one on Monday, will demonstrate how a succession of advisers also told Trump that his claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election were bogus, Jan. 6 committee members said during a string of Sunday show appearances.
"I think any reasonable person in America will tell you, he had to have known he was spreading a 'Big Lie,'" said Rep, Jamie Raskin, D-Md., a member of the Jan. 6 select committee, speaking on CNN's "State of the Union."
Raskin added: "He continues to spread it to this very day."
What we learned:What did Americans learn in the Jan. 6 committee's hearing on the Capitol attack?
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told ABC's "This Week" that the Department of Justice should investigate Trump and some of his allies.
Trump's apparent self-knowledge that he was spreading a lie "tells you a lot about the president's responsibility," he said.
Schiff also said that future hearings will show "connections" between people in Trump's orbit and white nationalist groups that participated in the attacks.
Trump's motives and actual knowledge about his claims would be a key legal issue if prosecutors decide to pursue a criminal case against Trump. Raskin and other committee members have said they have not decided whether to make a formal criminal referral of Trump to the Justice Department.

"This was all about keeping power, against the will of the American people," Kinzinger said on CBS News' "Face the Nation."
I doubt it.
But even so, if lying was a crime our whole government would be behind bars.
They stole the election, they know that we know they stole the election.
They’re trying to make sure the majority who barely pay attention don’t think they stole the election.
......Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., one of two [members of congress who unabashedly pretend to be....] Republicans on the committee,....” There! fixed that......
DAVID JACKSON, USA TODAY and the Delusional Left have become experts in accusing other of EXACTLY what they have done.
180 degrees. Exactly. Without blinking an eye. Experts.
Incredible.
DAVID JACKSON, USA TODAY and the Delusional Left launched and ratified a certifiably fraudulent 2020 election and continue to lie through their teeth about it.
What is their defense? Call the victims the liars and perpetrators and do it without hesitation or remorse.
These liars who don’t repent will usher in the soon-coming seven -year tribulation and they will get exactly what is coming to them. But for now, there is still grace to repent and be saved. I hope as many as possible do so.
“They’re trying to make sure the majority who barely pay attention don’t think they stole the election.”
They actually have their finger in the damn, most, even those who barely pay attention believe the election was stolen. They just feel helpless to do anything about it. Several polls have shown that the general public does believe that the election was stolen. A large percentage of Republicans overwhelmingly believe +80%, +35% of Democrats, and 55% of independents believe Biden stole the election (CNN Sept 2021).
And this was before the recent fraud evidence/arrests and the 20 million people who saw 2000 mules. The only thing that reality has confirmed is the courts will never look into voter fraud on a large scale, ever. The people that cheat depend on the feckless media lies and an inept court system.
BIG LIE ... 81 million votes
Despite the short time between Nov 3rd and Jan 20th, Trump had more than enough evidence of rigged election law and voter fraud to demand that the challenged electors be replaced. More evidence has emerged since. What Barr and his advisers told him he lost, it was their opinion, not fact. The “Big Lie” is that the election was not stolen. Now the Jan 6th committee has to prove the election was not stolen to indict Trump.
The big lie is that Biden won while everyone, commies included know he cheated..funny how commies can say the 2000, 2004, and 2016 election were stolen but trump isn’t allowed to say the same
The Democrats stole the election. I didn’t need Trump nor anyone else to tell me that.
It was obvious. Now more proof surfaces every day.
Does Congress have the power to conduct what amounts to a trial?
The rats are playing with fire here. If this goes sideways for them there is a lot of evidence the ejection was stolen that could finally come out.
No moreso than all the democrats who claimed Russia rigged the election in 2016 and ran an investigation all through Trumps term and STILL believe Putin hacked the election.
The film “2000 Mules” makes the latest case that the 2020 election was stolen. There is more evidence emerging. I think President Trump had better evidence, though his access to high tech intelligence, that the election was stolen. So all those hurling doubts about the greatest scandal in U.S. history are those who are reacting to the bombs hitting on target.
Asking for an investigation is not “overthrowing an election” unless you stole the election and know investigating it will result in a reversal.
“Trump knowingly “spread misinformation””
Are they now saying Trump is a democrat?
Kinzinger is the puppet of Ratskin and Schitt.
Prove there was no voter fraud.
What’s the wait? It’s been 2 years. What’s left to come? I ask to have clarity.
Trump has every right to question the election. It has been done many times before. There were MANY questionable circumstances in almost all the battleground states. It was not a lie, but a healthy suspicion. A suspicion that many of us still harbor. If this Kangaroo court was so certain of it’s assertions, why did it purposely keep any potential supporter of Donald Trump off the committee? Afraid that it would not hold up to the scrutiny?
