State Sen. William Ligon holds a televised hearing at the Georgia Capitol. Ligon turns his committee over to Trump’s attorneys, who make hours of unchallenged fraud allegations. Among other things, the lawyers unveil election night video from State Farm Arena, which they say shows Fulton County election workers counting illegal ballots in secret - a claim later shown to be false. Rudy Giuliani tells Georgia lawmakers the video is a “powerful smoking gun.”
