Thats actually super adult of you to suggest. I cant wait to squad up. I love it when you talk nerdy to me. Guy, guys, guys, were still in session. And i dont know what the heck youre talking about. [announcer] do you have an Invention Idea but dont know what to do next . Call invent help today. They can help you get started with your idea. Call now 8007100020. The following is a cnn special report. Tonight this is now officially a rye why the whats the bottom line you want the American People to know . There was a very sophisticated, Multi Part Plan overseen by donald trump. You cant ever accept when they steal and rig and rob an attempt to stay in power. Reporter as the longest, largest investigation into Donald Trumps attempt to stay president comes to a close, we put it all together. Ive got three men walking down the street in fatigues carrying ar15s. Reporter the explosive testimony i overheard the president Say Something to theofy people in. Reporter new insight from witnesses. N voters, and just throw them out the window this. Was he asking me to commit a crime . It gets back to the criminal intent issue. I dont know what he believed. Reporter and what might lie ahead. The former president and his allies represent a Clear And Present Danger to American Democracy. Not because of what they did On January 6th you better run, cops its because of what they pledge to do in 2024. Reporter a cnn special report, american coup the january 6th investigation. Im a very textural artist, i love a lot of texture. Reporter in arizona, the republican speaker of the house, rusty bowers, is an artist by trade. Last february, bowers was thrown into a reallife drama. The bill number was 2596. Reporter 2596, one of more than 100 bills submitted in arizona to tighten access to the ballot box. The measure would have scrapped early voting. All voting would be on election day only. 90 of my district votes early. Reporter and it would have mandated paper ballots. But most egregious to resty bowers was this. With no guidance criteria, the legislature, after the election, could dismiss the election. And i said, welcome to fascism. Hb2596, elections i said, i will give this the respect it deserves. I sent it to 12 committees so we would have a long vetting process. Military affairs typical is one or two. If it was a controversial bill, you might send it to three. If it goes to four committees, then youre getting a message. Judiciary. I assigned it to 12 committees. Transportation. It was theatrical, and i admit it. Reporter its no overstatement to say that because bowers stood up for democracy, he will no longer be in the state legislature. Im rusty bowers. Reporter term limited in the statehouse, he ran in the republican primary for a state senate seat. Ive stood up to the radicals and kept my conservative campaign promises. My opponent was David Farnsworth. David farnsworth is going to do the job. Reporter their positions on the major issues nearly identical, except for one. I believe the election was stolen. Reporter farnsworth bought into trumps election lies. Bowers did not. Arizona voters have picked David Farnsworth over Statehouse Speaker i lost big. It is very possible that the bill that i assigned liberally to my committees will be back. Possibility of that getting a governors signature would just be a disaster. I call it the possibility of going back into the dark ages in arizona. Reporter as the u. S. Headed into the 2022 midterm elections, there was perhaps more at stake regarding American Democracy than ever before. From arizona to pennsylvania to georgia, in all the socalled swing states, the former president , donald trump, backed not only those who supported his lies about Election Fraud in 2020, but also often those who expressed a willingness to undo any future results that they dont like under the pretense of trumpedup fraud. Thank you, mr. President. Reporter as this was happening, the House Select Committee investigating january 6th was interviewing witnesses, holding hearings, and gathering evidence to fully expose what the Committee Says was a plot designed to keep donald trump as president in 2020. And to try to make sure it can never happen again. Whats the bottom line you want the American People to know from these hearings . There are several things, but one is that there was a very sophisticated, multipart plan, overseen by donald trump, to attempt to overturn the election. No president in our history has ever done anything even close to that before. Reporter vice chair liz cheney, one of just two republicans on the committee, has spent the last year bucking her party and helping investigate Donald Trumps sophisticated multipart plan. The first piece the committee focused on were the lies. Mailin ballots is a very dangerous thing for this country because theyre cheaters. Reporter donald trump had been talking about the possibility of widespread voter fraud for months. Voting by mail is wrought with fraud. People steal them out of mailboxes. Reporter looking back, its clear he was laying the groundwork for this. This is a fraud on the american public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election, frankly, we did win this election. Reporter trump may have been crying widespread fraud, but he had no proof. What the former president did have proof of, based on his own teams assessment of votes, was that he lost. A fact made clear by the january 6th committee, which exposed to the world that so many trump aides, despite toeing the trump line in public are you expecting the president to concede . That words not even in our vocabulary right now. Reporter knew trump was going to lose legitimately and that he did lose legitimately, missions they were forced to make under oath. I was in the oval office, and at some point in the conversation matt osk. On wski, the lead data person, was brought on. He delivered to the president in operate blunt terms that he was going to lose. Reporter Trump Campaign attorneys followed up on all of the fraud claims, and they quickly concluded that fraud did not take the election from donald trump, voters did. The news was told to trumps Chief Of Staff at the white house, mark meadows, in mid to late november. I remember a call with mr. Meadows. I remember sharing with him that we werent finding anything that would be sufficient to change the results in any of the key states. Reporter during a meeting several weeks later, the president got the same message from his white House Counsel, Pat Cipollone, and another white house lawyer, eric herschmann. Eric and pat told the group, president included that none of those allegations had been substantiated to the point where they could be the basis for any litigation challenge to the election. It is statistically impossible that the person, me, that led the charge lost. Reporter but donald trump continued to refuse to publicly accept defeat. The evidence of the fraud is monumental, and more is coming out. Reporter audacious claims of widespread fraud became a daily occurrence. Numerous times we found glitches, and every single time the glitch went 100 to biden and no percent to trump. The only thing left is to vote. That could have been mickey mouse. That could have been a dead person. Reporter standing near giuliani is an attorney named sydney powell, who became the face of one of the most notorious and, frankly, most deranged lies. That dominion Voting Machines were flipping votes for trump to biden. The Dominion Voting Systems were created in venezuela at the direction of hugo chavez to make sure he never lost an election. Reporter after she was sued by dominion, powells attorney eventually conceded that powell lied, saying that no reasonable person would conclude that her statements were truly statements of fact. Long before that happened, the president s Attorney General, bill barr, was investigating all of trumps fraud claims. It was a little getting awkward, because obviously he had lost the election. Reporter barr said he made it clear to donald trump in a November 23rd meeting that he had lost. Our role is to investigate fraud. And its just not meritorious. Theyre not panning out. He was going to win in spite of all the fraud reporter but spurred on by the most ardent election liars, including many in maga media clearly the president won this election. Reporter donald trump would not listen to reason or fact. Where is the doj and the fbi in all of this, mr. President . Missing in action. This got under my skin, but i also felt it was time for me to Say Something. So i set up a lunch with the ap reporter, mike bolsamo. And i told him to date we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election. Reporter a heated trump barr meeting followed and barr got another opportunity to debunk the lies. Among the claims he focused on were the ones about dominion Voting Machines. With the turn of a dial, with the change of a chip, you can press a button for trump and the vote goes to biden. I told him the stuff his people were shoveling out to the people was bullshit. I specifically raised the dominion Voting Machines. I saw zero basis for the allegations, but they were made in such a sensational way that they obviously were influencing a lot of people. Reporter before the end of december, barr had quit. His replacement, Acting Attorney General jeffrey rosen, who came with a blunt yet lowkey acting Deputy Attorney general named Richard Donahue. Like barr, rosen and donahue took seriously and thoroughly investigated each of the fraud claims coming from thenPresident Trump. In late december, donahue spoke with the president and told him the truth about numerous false claims, including one involving dominion machines in northern michigan. There you had supposedly a Cyber Expert Group issue a report that said there was a 68 error rate. It was not a 68 error rate, in fact, it was i think a. 006 error rate. Reporter donahue also debunked fraud claims trump made about the Vote Counting done at the State Farm Arena in atlanta, georgia. I dont run to see if people are walking in with suitcases and putting them under a table with a black robe around it. There were allegations were suitcases of fraudulent ballots being smuggled into the facility. Now theyre going to start pulling the ballots out from under this table. Ballots being run through multiple times. The u. S. Attorney looked at it, found none of those allegations were true. Reporter donahues boss jeff rosen forwarded an email from white house Chief Of Staff mark meadows asking the department of justice to look into the possibility that italian satellites were changing votes from trump to biden. They sent these new numbers back up through this military satellite, Italian Military satellite py was skeptical to say the least. We very quickly determined that that was not a wellfounded allegation, and we told the Chief Of Staff and others as well. Whiskey tango foxtrot, whats going on over there . Reporter the nations top Law Enforcement officials were investigating and finding nothing substantive. And in the courts, the usual venue for claims about voting misconduct, the president s team lost over and over again. Courts again shutting down more desperate attempts to overturn an election. You were on george w. Bushs short list for the supreme court. Youre not some raging liberal. Is that fair . Totally fair. Reporter Michael Ludig is a highly respected Retired Federal Court judge. Ludig did not hear any of the Trump Frauds Cases but he and colleagues analyzed more than 60 of them. We reviewed each individual claim and decided that there was nothing that would have changed the result in a single precinct, let alone a single state, let alone nationally.

But thats what happened to arizona speaker republican rusty bowers after the 2020 election. Came home from church. My wife and i were sitting in the driveway. Reporter the white house popped up on his screen. So i take the call. I sat there in my little prius, had a chat with the president with bad phone reception. Back down in front of the house where i get better reception. Reporter Rudy Giuliani was on the line too. Bowers says it was giuliani who began making crazy claims about voter fraud in arizona. I cant give you the exact numbers, but ill throw out numbers but theyre kind of of the audacious numbers. Like 200,000 Illegal Aliens voted. 6,000 Military Ballots were stolen and used. Reporter bowers says giuliani wanted him to hold an official Arizona House hearing to air these claims publicly. Then i said, but whats the whole purpose of this . What are you trying to achieve . And he said, well, weve heard that theres an arcane law in arizona that if you have sufficient cause, that you can throw out the Biden Electors and put in trump electors. And i said, thats a new one to me. Ive never, ever heard of that. And so now youre asking me to do something thats against my oath . And im not going to do that. Reporter but bowers says he told giuliani he had good lawyers and would be happy to put the former mayor in touch with them. I dont do anything of this magnitude without having strong Legal Counsel and proof. And the president says, rudy, you got the proof . Yeah, i got the proof. I said, i want the proof. I didnt get when it he said hed do it. He never called my attorneys. Reporter but the asks did not stop with giuliani. Bowers would later get a call from another trump attorney, john eastman. We know there was fraud. Reporter whom the january 6th Committee Sees as a key player in this grand plan to undo the legitimate results of the 2020 president ial election. The ask was kind of that we would throw out the electors. And i said, has it ever been done . He said, uh, no. I said, you want me to take my state, 3. 2 million voters, and just throw them out the window because i want to . And thats responsible on my part . I said, okay, thank you, were not doing that. Reporter bowers kept his caucus on the sidelines. But in the arizona senate, republicans
