Then-President Trump and his inner circle made at least 200 attempts to pressure lawmakers or other officials to overturn state electors, the Jan. 6 committee report says.

Trump created a PAC, called Save America, that allowed him to keep millions and spend it with fewer restrictions, the committee wrote. "Kushner stated that he needed this new daily tracker because the Trump Campaign was going to continue fundraising post-election," the report said. “Things are going to be happening here. Trump is going to be speaking to everyone Wed [January 6] before everyone marches to the capital [sic]. Rumour [sic] has it that he may march with us,” Denney wrote in a Jan. 4 Facebook post, according to the report.
Trump and his campaign raised $250 million after the November 2020 presidential election with incendiary language about trying to “steal” the election, the report says. The committee says Ivanka Trump told them that she eventually retreated to the office of her husband, Jared Kushner,"because she needed to 'regroup' and collect herself."
In addition, the Jan. 6 committee recommended that federal agencies undertake a “whole of government strategy” to root out and combat violent extremism, including white nationalists. And it urged law enforcement to designate future certifications of presidential elections as a “national special security event.” That would require greater planning, coordination and security for future Jan. 6 certification events at the Capitol.
