Pat Cipollone was the top White House lawyer at the end of the Trump administration as Trump and outside allies pressed for ways to overturn the election results, culminating in the US Capitol riot.
Testimony describes how Trump pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence in private taunts and public entreaties to stop the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the run-up to the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
With a never-before-seen 12-minute video of the deadly violence and testimony from Donald Trump's inner circle, the committee contended that the ex-president's claims about election fraud led to the attack.
