House Republicans Meet with Trump in Bid to Prevent Election Certification

A number of House Republicans held meetings with President Trump on Monday evening to discuss an effort to block congressional certification of the election results, scheduled for January 6.

Representative Mo Brooks (R., Ala.) organized the meetings, which were attended by at least a dozen House Republicans including Trump allies Andy Biggs (R., Ariz.), Jody Hice (R., Ga.), Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), and representative-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.). Vice President Mike Pence, who will preside over the certification, was also present at the meetings.
