Around 20 House GOP members are asking the leaders of Congress, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), to provide hearings on election fraud ahead of the Joint Session of Congress in January when members read the Electoral College votes.

“Under the Constitution and federal statutes, Congress is responsible for resolving all federal election contests for President, the Senate, and the House,” wrote Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), who has previously said he will attempt to challenge certain states’ Electoral College votes on Jan. 6 when the Joint Session meets.
