Four highlights from testimony released by the Jan. 6 committee

FIRING ELECTION NONBELIEVERS

Trump considered firing any member of his staff who did not believe the 2020 election was stolen, in a memo mentioned by Cipollone and former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

"Anybody that thinks there wasn't massive fraud in the 2020 election should be fired," the memo read, according to Cipollone.
 
MEADOWS BURNED DOCUMENTS

Mark Meadows, who served as Trump's chief of staff from late March 2020 until the end of the administration, was seen burning documents roughly a dozen times in the period between President Joe Biden's election and his inauguration, Hutchinson testified.
 
HUTCHINSON FACED INTENSE PRESSURE

"I was scared," she said, recounting her emotions after her depositions with the committee in May and June. She suspected her former lawyer of leaking her testimony to the press, and telling other Trump-adjacent figures about what she told the committee.

"I remember turning to the staffer (with the committee), and I had said, 'I'm about to be fucking nuked,'" she said in September.
