The organizer of the Stop The Steal Rallye cooperates with the 1/6 committee and will provide testimony and documents.
The New York Times reported:
Ali Alexander, a prominent organizer of Stop the Steal rallies with ties to far-right Congressmen seeking to invalidate the 2020 election results, is partnering with the House of Representatives committee investigating the January 6 uprising in the Capitol and making promises to provide a wealth of documents that could shed light on the activities that preceded the attack.
The attendance of Mr. Alexander, who is due to be removed from the panel on Thursday, could shed some light on the nature and extent of President Donald J. Trump’s and his Republican allies’ plans to overturn the election Jan. 6. It could also help clarify whether and to what extent the prospect of violence was discussed or considered before or during the rampage.
The committee is tracking the coup plan directly to Trump
The collaboration of the Stop The Steal organizer will help the 1/6 committee fill in some of the blanks. The committee is examining the role of the White House in planning the rally that led to the attack on the Capitol.
Presidents are not allowed to use official government resources for campaign activities. The Stop-The-Steal rally was not an official presidential event. Metadata is already linking the White House to efforts to pressure states to overturn election results. Should Alexander testify that the White House is coordinating the stop-the-steal rally, it will provide further scathing evidence that Donald Trump tried to overthrow the US administration.
If the 1/6 committee finds evidence of Trump’s sedition, it may have no choice but to recommend prosecuting Trump for his crimes.
