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.

Trump complains that the committee didn’t address vote fraud from the election. They did, and termed it the ‘big lie’ and used it as an attack on Trump.
Someone here called Jamie Raskin “Shemp”.
Very strong resemblance. Its like Raskin is the fifth Stooge.
Being at the capital on 1/6 was certainly not as dangerous as riding in a car with Paul Pelosi.
For example?
The big lie is the election was not stolen.. the thing is wouldn’t matter what Trump said we say it real time election time.. the big count stop and the magic vote dump in all thus states all at once.. yea nothing happened
See they want to make it out it about Trump.. it about 70 million voters being disenfranchised
You mean like Hillary who still insists Trump was never elected?
The “legal” reasoning here is nonsense.
Biden had 600 lawyers on stand by to challenge the election.
You mean it would be “illegal” if he challenged the result and didn’t really “believe” he was right?
For example efforts to intimidate the electors to switch from Trump to Hillary.
Al Gore, obviously.
There are others.
Raskin, besides being a putz, is now a mind reader?
5.56mm
So now Mr Raskin can read minds.
Show me the statute where “spreading misinformation” is a crime.
If America is still a free country, then people can make all the claims about election fraud that they want to, in accordance with the First Amendment.
- 80 million -
the problem isn’t the mindreader as much as the gullible sheeple ...
LOL! Ya, they got nothing.
Actually, it was Adam Schiff who demonstrably spread “The Big Lie”....the “Russian Collusion” lie that was proved at the Sussman trial to be BS and promulgated by Hillary Clinton...but nice try, Jamie......
Joe Biden did not get 81 million votes. It just did not happen and everyone knows it.
Every person who refuses to see what is and what isnt.. every person who just hates Trump and does not want truth if it favors Trump
They are just too low skilled to understand.. .and I’d bet they wear a mask.
And below from the back of the room, note Biden is already on stage.
This guy beat Trump...Sure he did.
And yet the basis for that “big lie” is being revealed day by
day these days.
Surely Jamie Raskin knows he’s spreading a big lie.
Trump was undeniably spreading a big truth.
