The House January 6 Committee on Monday held its second day of public hearings, focusing on witness testimony contesting President Donald Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.

During their first public hearing last week, the committee singled Trump out as the cause of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach in a hearing that has been blasted by conservative critics as overtly partisan.
