The Georgia Republican has already spoken privately with the committee about his experience in addition to testifying before a special grand jury in a criminal probe into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the Peach State.
Raffensperger and Sterling’s plans to testify publicly before the January 6 committee were previously reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In December 2020, Sterling publicly pleaded for Trump to condemn the harassment that officials and election workers had been facing.
“Stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence,” Sterling said at the time, addressing Trump. “Someone’s going to get hurt, someone’s going to get shot, someone’s going to get killed, and it’s not right.”
A month later, rioters stormed the US Capitol.
During the upcoming hearings, the January 6 panel will reveal new evidence that aides say will help “connect the dots” between Trump’s election lies, his attempts to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election win and the violence that unfolded on January 6, 2021.
