Former Trump attorney Jason Miller testifies that Giuliani who was advising Trump on election night was ‘definitely intoxicated’
Mississippi Democrat Bennie Thompson, the chair of the House of Representatives panel, had already outlined that the public would hear how Trump “lost an election and knew he lost an election and as a result of this loss decided to wage an attack on our democracy” by inciting the deadly violence on 6 January as rioters broke into the Capitol to try to stop the official certification of Biden’s victory.
A witness at Monday’s hearing, Chris Stirewalt, a former politics editor for Fox News, testified that the conservative cable channel’s “decision desk” on the night was “the best in the business” and, controversially, beat other outlets to be the first to declare that Biden, not Trump, had unexpectedly won in the pivotal state of Arizona.
Jason Miller, an attorney then advising Trump, testified to the committee by video that at that point on the night, “there were suggestions by, I believe it was Mayor Giuliani, to go and declare victory and say that we’d won it outright.” Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and adviser, testified on video that she opined on the night that it was too early to announce that the election was decided, let alone that her father had won.
