The President was told, according to testimony, that many members of the crowd gathered at the Ellipse were unwilling to pass through the magnetometers because they were armed.

Clark said that if Trump would change the leadership at the DOJ, he might be able to do more to support the President’s claims about the election.

Chapter 4.1 - The DOJ Found No Significant Evidence of Fraud (The January 6th Report)
Note: This is the first section of Chapter 4. Unlike the previous three chapters, Chapter 4 does not have an introduction.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr knew there would be trouble before all the votes had been counted. As was expected, the early vote tally favored Republicans on election night because the mail-in ballots were not yet fully counted. This occurred in 2020 and in previous elections. The President knew of this phenomenon but exploited it on election night, as he and his allies had planned to do. According to Barr, President Trump exploited this timing gap and used it as “the basis for this broad claim that there was major fraud.”

The podcast closes out with thanks to our Executive Producers and Associate Producers who initially helped to support this effort as well as others who helped provide value to this effort in some way.
