The committee alleges that Jared Kushner began closely monitoring the Trump campaign's effort to raise money off lies about the election on Nov. 8 — a day after NBC News and other networks called the 2020 race for Joe Biden.
The panel said it received documents confirming Kushner's involvement.
Trump “floated” the idea after advisers tried to talk him out of being “on the ground” with supporters during the events of Jan. 6, citing concern for his safety, the report says. Trump wanted the National Guard to protect them from"any supposed threats by leftwing counter-protesters," according to the report.
The report also cites a text message from Stop the Steal organizer Ali Alexander about plans to march to the Capitol after Trump's speech that was planned to take place at the Ellipse. RNC lawyers instructed that messages shouldn’t say “steal the election” but were to use “try to steal the election" instead, the report says. Similar moves were made to rely on insinuation, it says, with phrases changed to such language as “Only LEGAL ballots must be counted and verified,” according to the report.
As it was tasked to do, the committee issued a number of recommendations in its report to both Congress and federal agencies. It called for reforms to the Electoral Count Act of 1887 to make it clear that the vice president does not have the authority to unilaterally reject electoral votes, an update that is already in the works. Congress will pass such a recommendation this week as part of its omnibus spending package.
