(CNN) Conservative Republican election attorney Ben Ginsberg will be among the witnesses testifying Monday before the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, as the panel seeks to scrutinize how former President Donald Trump's election lies led to the riot. Former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien was to headline the witness list on Monday but unexpectedly backed out due to a "family emergency," leading to a delay in the hearing. Stepien's wife is in labor, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN, which is why the committee has released him from his subpoena for the day. Committee aides said Sunday that the hearing would look at how Trump embraced false claims of fraud in the 2020 election and how he decided to declare victory in the hours after the election, even though he was told that the numbers didn't bear it out. "We will reveal information about how the former President's political apparatus use these lies about fraud about a stolen election to drive fundraising, bringing hundreds of millions of dollars between Election Day 2020 and January 6," aides added.
