Summary

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his deputy Gabe Sterling are set to testify at the January 6 House Select Committee’s fourth hearing that will focus on how former President Trump and his allies pressured state-level officials to overturn the 2020 election results. Former Georgia election worker Wandrea Moss will join them and is planning to tell the panel how she received death threats after false stories accused her of taking part in voter fraud, according to a written version of her planned testimony provided by her attorney. Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren is a member of the committee and tells Anderson Cooper she thinks the hearing will be “worth watching.” Plus, CNN Senior International Correspondent Sam Kiley joins AC360 to give an update on the volunteer American fighters who have been missing in Ukraine for more than a week.
