Former Trump Spox Testifies Before Riot Committee

Politico reports:

Katrina Pierson, a former Trump campaign spokesperson who helped plan the Jan. 6 rally at the Ellipse, has answered questions from the Capitol riot panel, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

Pierson has detailed knowledge of the rally that preceded the attack. The committee subpoenaed her in late September 2021 for documents and testimony — one in a group of 11 people who helped set up the Ellipse rally.

Pierson in her committee interview did not invoke her right to not self-incriminate, known as pleading the Fifth, according to one of the sources.

Read the full article. Pierson, you may recall, once described slavery as “good history” for the United States during a wild appearance on Fox News. A convicted shoplifter, Pierson has a long history of insane claims and outright lies, including that Obama got us into the Afghanistan war. Last year it was reported that she is considering a run for the US House in Texas.
