WATCH: Barr, Ivanka Trump tell Jan. 6 committee there's no evidence of 2020 voter fraud 80 views Jun 10, 2022 The first public hearing of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack included video of testimony from former Attorney General Bill Barr and a former Trump campaign lawyer, both of whom detailed conversations with former President Donald Trump in which they told him there was no evidence of 2020 voter fraud.
Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming included clips of the testimony from Barr and former Trump campaign lawyer Alex Cannon along with first daughter Ivanka Trump in her opening statement June 9.
"I saw absolutely zero basis for the allegations," former Attorney General Bill Barr testified to the committee. "But they were made in such a sensational way, that they obviously were influencing a lot of people, members of the public, that there was a system corruption in the system and that their votes didn't count."
Cheney said Trump ignored court rulings, campaign leadership and his own White House staff in his quest to overturn the results of the presidential election."
"President Trump invented millions of dollars of campaign funds, purposely spreading false information," Cheney said.

WATCH: Rep. Liz Cheney says Trump ignored pleas to stop Jan. 6 violence | Jan. 6 hearings 51,515 views Jun 10, 2022 Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming said in her opening remarks of the first Jan. 6 committee hearing June 9 that former President Donald Trump's intention as the violence unfolded "was to remain president of the United States, despite the lawful outcome of the 2020 election."
The hearing June 9 was the first of several planned by the Jan. 6 committee in the coming weeks. In the year since its creation, the committee has conducted more than 1,000 interviews, seeking critical information and documents from people witness to, or involved in, the violence that day.
Cheney added that the committee learned that Trump "oversaw and coordinated" a seven-part plan to overturn the presidential election despite advisors being aware Trump had lost. Despite that, Cheney said, the president embarked on a campaign to spread the lie that the election had been stolen.
"Over a series of hearings in the coming weeks, you will hear testimony, live on video, from more than half a dozen former white house staff in the trump administration. All of whom were in the west wing of the white house on January 6th. You will hear testimony that 'The president did not really want to put anything out, calling off the riot or asking his supporters to leave.' You will hear President Trump was yelling and 'really angry' at advisers who told him he needed to be doing something more. And aware of the rioters chants to 'hang Mike Pence,' the president responded with this sentiment: 'Maybe our supporters have the right idea, Mike Pence deserves it.'"
