The House Committee probing the Capitol insurrection has secured cooperation from one of the organizers of the January 6 “Stop the Steal” rally. Organizer Ali Alexander reportedly plans to flip on advisers of former President Donald Trump in his testimony before the committee.
According to the New York Times, Alexander is expected to prove his innocence through his testimony while providing sets of documents to the House Committee that could shed light on the events that occurred before the insurrection. Alexander is also set to point towards Trump advisers along with his fellow organizers in his testimony.
“While I was actively trying to de-escalate events at the Capitol and end the violence and lawlessness, it’s important to note that certain people were nowhere to be found,” Alexander plans to tell the committee through his opening statement obtained by the outlet. “Press reports suggest they may have had their feet up drinking donor-funded champagne in a war room in the Willard. I don’t know where they were. But they weren’t working with police trying to de-escalate the chaos like I was.”
This follows a report by the Washington Post revealing that a group of the former president’s “most loyal lieutenants” gathered in a room at the Willard Hotel, where they spent days leading up to the insurrection plotting to overturn the 2020 elections and keep Trump in power. The group included Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, and John Eastman.
Alexander also plans to point towards Amy Kremer and her daughter Kylie Kremer of Women for America First that also helped in organizing the January 6 rally.
Trump was impeached for the second time for inciting the Capitol insurrection. The former president has since sought to block the National Archives from releasing the documents of his White House related to January 6, citing executive privilege. However, the US Court of Appeals in the DC Circuit unanimously ruled to reject the former president’s request to block the archives from releasing his White House records.
In the ruling, the panel argued that Congress has a direct interest in investigating the attack against it.
“The January 6th Committee has also demonstrated a sound factual predicate for requesting these presidential documents specifically,” said the panel in their ruling. “There is a direct linkage between the former President and the events of the day.”
