Trump’s Long Campaign to Steal the Presidency: A Timeline

The insurrection wasn’t a one-day event. It was the culmination of a multifaceted, yearslong plot — and it isn’t over.

The Jan. 6 committee recently released its transcripts from interviews with election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye Moss, two women who endured smears and death threats spurred by the former president, his attorney Rudy Giuliani, and a mass of Trump’s supporters who failed to discern fact from fiction when it came to the 2020 election.


Freeman and Moss were election workers in Georgia targeted by Trump and Giuliani as the men publicly shared conspiracy theories about election fraud in Georgia.
Pointing to security footage of Moss and Freeman innocently working at a voting center, they publicly accused Moss of giving her mother “USB drives” containing votes for now-President Joe Biden.

Giuliani once said she passed them off to her mother like vials of cocaine.
The “USB” was, in fact, a ginger mint.

After the committee published transcripts from its interviews with Freeman and Moss, on Jan. 3 Trump took to his social media platform TruthSocial and picked up right about where he left off with the women.

“Wow! Has anyone seen the Ruby Freeman ‘contradictions’ of her sworn testimony? Now this is ‘BIG STUFF.’ Look what was captured by Cobb County police body cameras on January 4, 2021….” Trump wrote.

He followed it up with two more posts sputtering similar lies about “suitcases” packed with ballots. Investigators have determined those “suitcases” were standard issue boxes used to transfer ballots.

This conspiracy theory and others like it have been debunked at length. It would all seem merely to be a bit of horrible deja vu, but there is at least one critical difference this time around. Thanks to the select committee’s 18-month investigation of Jan. 6, there is a mountain of evidence featuring corroborated witness testimony from among the highest ranks of the Trump administration affirming that Trump was told, repeatedly and directly, that his accusations of election fraud were patently false.

The former president, speaking from a podium, also insisted that a “lunatic” fatally shot Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 violence in 2021.

“There was no reason” for it, said Trump. “We’re not going to let this go on. These are people are horrible, horrible people,” he added, apparently referring to police protecting lawmakers that day. “What they’ve done to protesters ...”

Babbitt, a Trump supporter, was shot by a police officer during the insurrection as she was climbing through a smashed window in the Capitol as a violent mob tried to reach lawmakers in their bid to overthrow Trump’s defeat. (See the video below).

The Justice Department investigated Babbitt’s shooting and chose not to prosecute the Capitol police officer who shot her.

Trump again insisted the rioters were merely “protesting a dishonest election.” There’s no evidence the vote was dishonest.

Nearly 1,000 rioters have been charged or convicted in the Jan. 6 riot. The Justice Department continues investigating.

Micki Witthoeft, the mother of Ashli Babbitt, was arrested after blocking traffic in a protest on Capitol grounds on Friday, police said. She ignored orders to move and instead “turned around with her hands behind her back and asked to be arrested,” Capitol police said in a statement.


Frequent Mar-a-Lago visitor Kari Lakeappeared at the event with Trump. She has been baselessly calling herself the “duly elected governor” of Arizona, even though she lost the gubernatorial election to Democrat Katie Hobbs in November.

Trump has mostly been hunkered down at Mar-a-Lago, even though he announced in mid-November that he’s running for the presidency again. He’s surrounded by sycophants at his resort, which one Trump confidant recently referred to as a kind of “Barbie Dream House”where Trump can still pretend he’s president.

He also again insisted violent Capitol rioters were simply "protesting a dishonest election," despite a complete lack of evidence of anything but a legitimate vote.

Last week, President Joe Biden awarded Shaye and Freeman Presidential Citizen Medals, honoring them along with other election officials and law enforcement officers for their “contributions to our democracy” prior to and during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“Despite it all, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss found the courage to testify openly and honestly for the whole country and the world about their experience to set the record straight about the lies and defend the integrity of our elections,” Biden said. “Ruby and Shaye, you don’t deserve what happened to you, but you do deserve the nation’s eternal thanks for showing the dignity and grace of We the People. [It’s] presumptuous of me, but I’m so proud of you both.”

Trump’s response to the women’s awards was vicious, arguing that Freeman could lose or have to return her medal.

“Ruby, her daughter, and the others who ran back into the counting room, grabbing the cases from under the ‘skirted’ table, and then back to their counting machines where they came from prior to hearing ‘water main break’ (which never happened) have got a lot of explaining to do. I predict that this medal, at a minimum, will someday be withdrawn,” Trump posted.

If you’re wondering why Trump even cares about the awards and is back on the attack after so many months, well, on Monday the Fulton County, Georgia, special grand jury concluded its report investigating the twice-impeached president for possible election crimes in 2020.

Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney wrote Monday that the 26-member group was convened for an investigation into “‘the facts and circumstances relating directly or indirectly to possible attempts to disrupt the lawful administration of the 2020 elections in the State of Georgia’ and to prepare a report on whether anyone should be prosecuted for such potential crimes.”

The next step is a hearing set for Jan. 24, where the Fulton District Attorney’s office, media, and those named in the investigation will decide whether the report should be made public, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. The decision to press charges on the case resides with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who would have to provide evidence before another regular grand jury.

Shaye and Freeman appeared before the Jan. 6 committee in June 2022 to give testimony about how Trump and Giuliani’s ubiquitous lies impacted their lives.

The two Georgia election workers were driven from their homes, threatened on social media, and were left feeling afraid to go out into public. During their testimony, Freeman revealed that Trevian Kutti, identified as Kanye West’s publicist, came to Freeman’s home, identified herself as a “crisis manager,” and threatened Freeman, urging her to admit to her role in alleged election fraud or face jail time within 48 hours. Even Moss’ grandmother was caught up in the fray, menaced by Trump supporters and the web of lies created by Trump and Giuliani.

“It was just a lot of horrible things there,” Moss told the House select committee, adding that many of the social media comments directed at the women “were racist” and “hateful.”

Trump’s latest bombardment is no doubt related to the Fulton County investigation and trying everything in his power to distance himself from his own election crimes and toward the invented boogeyman of the Big Lie.
