AgenciesRoger Stone, architect of the "Stop the Steal" movement, claimed falsely that former US President Donald Trump won the 2020 election but that US President Joe Biden's supporters had stolen it from him.
Stone also conversed with crucial Trump campaign and White House officials and members of two right-wing militia groups the committee says helped foment the January 6 attack, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.
To prevent Congress from confirming Biden's electoral victory before the election, the committee will review documents and other information that raise new questions about Stone's involvement in the Trump administration.
The January 6 committee did not respond to requests for comment on its next public hearing. The hearing was not formally scheduled after Hurricane Ian cancelled the September 28 hearing.
In a video obtained by the committee, Stone explains how the Trump team counts votes well in advance of the November 3, 2020, election and then uses force, if necessary, to challenge anyone who challenges them.
Films taken by Danish filmmakers, who followed Stone on and off for several years, have been shown on CNN, and the committee plans to air them as well. Trump and his supporters would claim victory, challenge election officials with force if necessary, and then take the matter to court so he could get a victory from Trump-appointed judges.
There has been no release date for the film "A Storm Foretold."
