WASHINGTON (AP) — Through eight hearings, 20 live witnesses and dozens of hours of recorded testimony, the House Jan. 6 panel has focused its case squarely on former President Donald Trump. The panel has unveiled stunning evidence about the Capitol insurrection over six weeks of hearings, laying out in vivid detail what the panel calls an “attempted coup” by Trump as he desperately sought to overturn Joe Biden's election. Culling material from more than 1,000 witnesses, lawmakers have shown that officials inside the government fought Trump's schemes at every turn, calling them "nuts" and "unhinged.
"She very much was a New York person," her former lawyer Ira Garr told Insider. "Certain people become part of the New York scene who are always associated with the city."

Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump's 2016 campaign manager, has accused Trump's current advisers and allies of looking to take advantage of the former president.
"I think a lot of people have seen the dollar signs with their relationship with Donald Trump," said Lewandowski on Tuesday during an appearance on the conservative network Real America's Voice.
A hot mic caught Rep. Matt Gaetz reassuring Roger Stone that the 'boss' would grant him clemency and he won't go to jail: report
Stone was found guilty of obstruction, making false statements, and witness tampering in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.In November, Summer Zervos, who had accused Trump of sexual assault following her appearance on "The Apprentice," dropped her lawsuit against him before he was forced to sit for a deposition. At around the same time, a New York state judge dismissed a lawsuit from Michael Cohen seeking to have the Trump Organization reimburse his legal fees for work he did on Trump's behalf.
"They want him to run for office because it's good for them or because they think there's an opportunity down the road to chastise him, to write a book, a tell-all, or something like that," he added.
Lewandowski ran Trump's 2016 presidential campaign but was fired during the Republican primary.
During Tuesday's show, he also said that many of Trump's supporters or staff are merely pretending to back him so they can "leave afterward and then chastise him or become a commentator on the networks."
Lewandowski, too, was hired as a political commentator on Fox News and CNN in 2016 after his sacking. However, he signed a non-disclosure agreement with Trump that forbids him from making negative remarks about the former president.
In 2017 he co-authored a book with David Bossie, who worked with him on Trump's campaign, titled "Let Trump Be Trump: The Inside Story of His Rise to the Presidency."
While Lewandowski didn't mention any specific names on Tuesday, several former Trump aides have since broken off from the former president and published tell-alls detailing their experiences under his administration.
These include high-profile officials such as former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, one-time White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, former Attorney General Bill Barr, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, and former COVID-19 adviser Scott Atlas.
Lewandowski said on Tuesday that a "small group" of Trump aides, including himself, Bossie, and Dave Scavino, have remained loyal to the former president and "have his best interests at heart."
He is currently the chairman of a PAC called Fight Back Now America, which aims to support "Trump-like" candidates in support of the America First movement.
However, it's unclear if Lewandowski still has any ties to Trump. Hired in 2020 to run Trump's super PAC Make America Great Again Action, Lewandowski was fired in September after a Republican donor accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.
That same month, a spokesperson for Trump tweeted that Lewandowski "will no longer be associated with Trump World."
