In her opening statement, vice chair Liz Cheney said, “You will also hear testimony that president trump rejected the advice of his campaign experts on election night. And instead followed the course recommended by an apparently inebriated Rudy Giuliani to just claim he won and insist that the vote counting stop, to falsely claim everything was fraudulent. He falsely told the American people that the election was not legitimate, in his words, quote a major fraud. Millions of Americans believed him.
