overturn election

WASHINGTON — House members of the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol detailed Thursday how former President Donald Trump relentlessly pressured his vice president, Mike Pence, to execute a debunked legal theory to reject the results of the 2020 election despite Pence informing him it would be unconstitutional.

Trump's hostility toward Pence, both publicly and privately, endangered the vice president's life and helped fuel the violence on Jan. 6 as members of Congress met to count the electoral votes confirming Joe Biden's victory, the committee alleged.

"When Mike Pence made it clear that he wouldn't give in to Donald Trump's scheme, Donald Trump turned the mob on him," said the committee's chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss.

The baseless legal theory, put forward by attorney John Eastman and embraced by Trump, argued the vice president could reject slates of Biden electors certified by key battleground states in favor of fake Trump electors.

Jan. 6 hearing told Trump knew plan to pressure Pence was illegal, went ahead anyway

The House's Jan. 6 committee held its third public hearing of the month, on Thursday, with the focus on the pressure campaign on then-Vice President Mike Pence.

The committee detailed the efforts of then-President Donald Trump and his allies before and on Jan. 6, 2021, to get Pence to reject electoral votes Congress was certifying -- as part of what it says was a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

There was just '40 feet between the vice president and the mob' on Jan. 6, Aguilar says

The violent mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, came dangerously close to then-Vice President Mike Pence, posing an immediate threat to his life, according to testimony from Thursday's hearing on the insurrection.

“Approximately 40 feet. That’s all there was, 40 feet between the vice president and the mob,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Redlands). “Make no mistake about the fact that the vice president’s life was in danger.”

Video footage from the Jan. 6 insurrection displayed during the hearing showed the mob chanting "Hang Mike Pence," as they stormed the Capitol. Another rioter yelled into a camera, "You f—ing politicians are gonna get dragged through the streets."

Meanwhile, Pence's counsel Greg Jacob, who was with the vice president inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, argued with conservative attorney John Eastman by email during the riot over who was to blame for the violence, according to excerpts presented by the commitee. For many days leading up to the violence, Eastman pressured Pence and his team not to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.
