Jan. 6 panel says Trump fleeced his base and 5 other takeaways from the 2nd hearing Enlarge this image toggle caption Jabin Botsford/AP Jabin Botsford/AP It wasn't in prime time this time, but the Jan. 6 committee held an eyebrow-raising hearing Monday in its second of seven promised ones. The committee used lots of footage from its taped interviews with professionals from Trump's 2020 campaign – Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stepien, senior adviser Jason Miller and multiple lawyers. Still, this group of campaign professionals say they all had the same message: they tried to tell Trump the truth – that the outlook was bleak, he should not declare victory on election night, he was going to lose and that his election fraud claims were, as former Attorney General Bill Barr called them: "bogus and silly," "idiotic," "stupid," "complete nonsense," "crazy stuff." "The Big Lie was also a big rip off," said committee member Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. She added that Trump "supporters deserve better than what Trump and his allies did."
