The January 6 committee focused its hearing this morning on “Stop the Steal,” President Trump’s scheme to retain his office by discrediting the election as having been stolen by fraud.
Unforeseen circumstances threw the hearing for a loop before it had even begun: The major witness the committee had lined up, Trump 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien — who was evidently expected to testify that in the immediate aftermath of the election, Trump was advised, by knowledgeable people and in no uncertain terms, that he had lost — had to cancel at the last minute, because his wife went into labor.
