Jan. 6 Hearing Describes Heated Argument in White House Over Election Fraud Claims

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol played testimony describing a heated argument in which former President Donald Trump’s White House lawyers rejected claims of election fraud by Trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and other outside advisers.

The testimony came in the committee’s seventh hearing of the year, focusing on potential connections between Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and far-right groups allegedly at the center of the day’s violence.
