During a court hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene repeatedly deflected questions about her involvement in the Capitol riot and efforts by former President Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Greene was asked numerous questions about if she had any connection to the events that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021, and in the days leading up to the riot. The congresswoman said she was aware people had planned to come to Washington, D.C., to"support our objection" to the election results in Congress.Asked when she first became aware that there would be a large demonstration on that day, Greene said,"I don't recall.
Asked if she had ever said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is a traitor to the country, Greene said she hadn't made such a comment. The attorney then presented evidence that she did make that statement. Andrew Celli, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said in his closing arguments that the congresswoman “was one of several leader who gathered the kindling, who created the conditions made it possible for there to be an explosion of violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6.""We come into a hearing with all these cameras and all these live-streaming — why are they interested in this? Because Representative Greene’s on the ballot? No. This is a political agenda.
