A draft executive order by then-President Donald Trump and his allies that would have directed the Pentagon to confiscate voting machines after the 2020 election was discussed in Congress on Tuesday afternoon.

The meeting was the seventh public hearing held by the House select committee formed mostly by Democrat lawmakers to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
