the only way we’re going to lose this election is

sentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the

ment to the USA. Delay the Election until peo-
ple can properly, securely and safely vote???’’

the election fraud claims were ‘‘just not meri-
torious’’. 
(D) In the same hearing, recorded testi-
mony by Mr. Barr further revealed that he

minion voting machines perpetuating fraud to

tions.’’.

which he believed showed election workers pull-
ing out a suitcase of ballots in Atlanta, Georgia. 
An investigation revealed that the suitcase was 
in fact an official lockbox, and Mr. Pak con-
firmed his investigations found no evidence of 
widespread voter fraud sufficient to undermine 
confidence in the election results in Georgia. 
Mr. Pak reportedly resigned in January 2021 
in response to pressure from Mr. Trump to 
overturn the results in Georgia. 
(H) In the same hearing, recorded testi-
mony by Richard Donoghue, former acting 
Deputy Attorney General, revealed that Mr. 
Trump was repeatedly informed that allegations

to another allegation.’’.

acknowledged that President-Elect Biden would

(J) In the same hearing, recorded testi-
mony by Alyssa Farah, former White House 
Communications Director, revealed that, a week

tion loss in private, saying, ‘‘Can you believe I

dent-Elect Biden. 
(K) In the same hearing, recorded testi-
mony by Cassidy Hutchinson, former Aide to

Trump was visited in the White House by Sid-
ney Powell (attorney for Mr. Trump), Michael 
Flynn (former National Security Adviser for 
Mr. Trump), and Patrick Byrne (founder of 
Overstock.com) for a private, unplanned meet-
ing. The Committee showed a draft Executive 
order which ordered the Secretary of Defense to 
seize States’ voting machines and appoint a 
Special Counsel (Ms. Powell) to prosecute per-
petrators of election fraud. 
(B) In the same hearing, recorded testi-
mony by Pat Cipollone, former White House 
counsel, revealed that he was of the opinion 
that Ms. Powell, Mr. Flynn, and Mr. Byrne 
were not giving Mr. Trump good legal advice. 
Mr. Cipollone testified that when he expressed 
his concerns to Mr. Trump, the aforementioned 
three began ‘‘attacking [him] verbally’’. 
(C) Hon. Jeffrey A. Rosen, former Acting 
Attorney General, testified in a June 23, 2022,
