June 13, 2022: Trumps election lies take center stage on Capitol Hill
Just before 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 4, 2020, then-President Donald Trump went before a group of supporters at the White House and prematurely declared victory over Joe Biden in an election he ultimately lost.\nToday at 10 a.m., that moment \u2014 and the avalanche of lies about the election that followed \u2014 will be front and center as the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack (1) highlights the origins of the \u201cBig Lie\u201d about the 2020 election, (2) shows how it spread and (3) attempts to prove that in the weeks and months following Election Day, even as Trump continued to falsely claim that he\u2019d actually won, he privately knew he\u2019d lost \u2014 and that his public insistence otherwise led to the insurrection.\nSubscribe to the POLITICO Playbook newsletter\nRaghu Manavalan is the Host of POLITICO's Playbook.Jenny Ament is the Executive Producer of POLITICO Audio.
