U.S. Home of Representatives Common Counsel Doug Letter mentioned that on Jan. 6, 2021, he was fleeing congressional chambers simply as a Capitol Police officer shot Ashli Babbitt.
And in his arms had been a stack of binders. Letter had labored writing briefs opposing efforts by President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election, and he’d collected 1000’s of pages of notes and statements to offer to Democratic state representatives when Republican-led states would announce their opposition to President-elect Joe Biden’s win.
