Rusty Bowers, the Republican Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives, said that Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), the former chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, called him on the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, asking him to support the decertification of electors.
“He asked if I would sign on both to a letter that had been sent from my state, and/or that I would support the decertification of the electors,” Bowers said at a Tuesday hearing of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
“I said I would not,” Bowers added.
A representative for Biggs did not immediately return a request for comment.
The Jan. 6 select committee subpoenaed Biggs last month, along with several other GOP members of Congress. They have not complied with the subpoenas.

Congressman Andy Biggs called asking him to break the law. This might be one of the first times the Committee has specifically mentioned a member of Congress by name that I can remember. More pain coming. #January6thHearing https://t.co/iFVGLWayJP
