Testimony Continues in Capitol Riot Hearings, Today’s Focus: Mike Pence
The House Committee investigating the Capitol Riots is expected on Capitol Hill today for day three of testimony. Today’s hearing will be all about former Vice President Mike Pence who was the center of former President Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election on the day of the riots. Aides say the hearing will make the case that Trump’s pressure campaign against Pence ‘directly contributed’ to the riots. They also said the hearing will include new materials and documents about Pence’s movements on the day of the insurrection and what he was doing when the Senate chamber evacuated. Former Pence Attorney Greg Jacob and retired Republican Judge J. Michael Luttig will testify today and although the testimony will be about Pence, he will not be in attendance.
