Elected Republicans as well as poll workers say they were threatened.

A Georgia vote counter said she was forced to temporarily leave her home, while an Arizona official said protesters called him a paedophile.

The House of Representatives panel accuses Mr Trump of an attempted coup.

The select committee has conducted a nearly year-long investigation into how Trump supporters invaded Congress on 6 January 2021 to disrupt lawmakers as they certified Democrat Joe Biden's election victory.

Mr Trump has stood by his disproven claim he only lost the 2020 presidential vote because of fraud, and has dismissed the panel as a political witch hunt.

On Tuesday, in the fourth public hearing so far, the panel heard from election workers in the states of Arizona and Georgia. Mr Biden defeated Mr Trump in both states, which had previously backed Republicans for the White House.

"We received... in excess of 20,000 emails and tens of thousands of voice mails and texts, which saturated our offices and we were unable to work, at least communicate," said Rusty Bowers, speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives.

The witness - who campaigned for Mr Trump in 2020 - said the threats and insults have continued with protesters outside his house attempting to smear him as a paedophile.
