Adam Schiff, D-Calif., spoke on June 21 during a public hearing before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff outlined the many ways former President Donald Trump fought to stay in power despite losing the 2020 election, including efforts by his campaign to install false \u201celectors\u201d in battleground states with \u201cphony certificates\u201d to be transmitted to Congress for the Electoral College vote count on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to federal District Judge David Carter, former President Trump and others likely violated multiple federal laws by engaging in this scheme, including conspiracy to defraud the United States,\u201d Schiff said. \u201cYou will hear evidence of the former president and his top advisers&#8217; direct involvement in key elements of this plot, or what judge Carter called a \u2018coup in search of a legal theory.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schiff also spoke about the \u201cdangerous and escalating campaign of pressure\u201d that Trump mounted against officials who would not stop the counting of votes in their states, leading to harassment and threats at people\u2019s doorsteps that made them fear for their lives.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing was the fourth of several planned by the Jan. 6 committee to present its findings to the public. It focused on Trump\u2019s efforts to pressure state legislators and local election officials to change the results of the 2020 presidential election. In the year since its creation, the committee has conducted more than 1,000 interviews, seeking critical information and documents from people witness to, or involved in, the violence that day.<\/p>\n<p>Stream your PBS favorites with the PBS app: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/to.pbs.org\/2Jb8twG\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/to.pbs.org\/2Jb8twG<\/a><br \/>\nFind more from PBS NewsHour at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour<\/a><br \/>\nSubscribe to our YouTube channel: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2HfsCD6\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2HfsCD6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow us:<br \/>\nTikTok: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@pbsnews\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@pbsnews<\/a><br \/>\nTwitter: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/newshour\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/newshour<\/a><br \/>\nInstagram: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newshour\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newshour<\/a><br \/>\nFacebook: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Subscribe:<br \/>\nPBS NewsHour podcasts: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/podcasts\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/podcasts<\/a><br \/>\nNewsletters: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/subscribe\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/subscribe<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
