WASHINGTON - The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks at the U.S. Capitol is expected to hear from local officials who held off Donald Trump's attempt to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory.
The series of hearings began June 9. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is set to testify during the fourth hearing Tuesday, and is expected to discuss the pressure he faced from Trump to "find 11,780" votes that could flip the state.
Raffensperger, his deputy Gabe Sterling, and Arizona's state House Speaker Rusty Bowers, are scheduled to be key witnesses.

Future hearings are expected to review Trump's pressure on Justice Department officials and will also provide a look what was happening in the White House as the violence unfolded at the Capitol.
The committee said the investigation will continue after the hearings are over. Panel members will then decide whether they have found criminal activity –and if so – if it should be referred to the Justice Department. The department, which is conducting its own investigation, could take or leave the recommendation.
