The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol will convene the second of a series of hearings on Monday, starting at 10 a.m. Eastern. Follow along for live coverage and analysis.
Among the more intriguing witnesses on Monday’s list is Bill Stepien, the campaign manager for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign.
Stepien is appearing under subpoena, so it’s an open question as to how forthcoming he will be as a witness. But members of the Jan. 6 panel hope to use his testimony to build a case that Trump knew he had lost the election even as he continued to spread “the big lie” that it was stolen., Stepien would have been present for many key conversations, starting with those on election night in 2020 that led Trump to declare victory even though he had been told the numbers showed otherwise.
Stepien emerged largely unscathed from the scandal, which led to a long criminal trial. He was not charged.He is now among the former Trump aides advising Harriet Hageman, the Trump-backed candidate seeking to oust Rep. Liz Cheney in a Republican primary. Cheney serves as vice chairwoman of the Jan. 6 committee.
