The committee will try to make the case Thursday that President Trump’s words put Pence’s life in danger.
The House Jan. 6 Commission will hold its third of eight hearings Thursday after a one-day postponement. Thursday’s hearing will focus on the pressure Vice President Mike Pence faced from President Donald Trump to reject electors during the counting of Electoral College votes.
Pence became a target for rioters during the Jan. 6 insurrection. Video from the insurrection showed rioters chanting “hang Mike Pence” after Trump decried Pence for not rejecting electors.“I think the public probably is not aware of how close a call this was,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat on the Jan. 6 Commission, told CNN. “The rioters came very close to capturing the vice president, and I think there's very good evidence that they would've done harm to him, perhaps even killed him.
