On top of everything, one of Trump's most-loyal confidantes, who had been convicted of a crime to protect Trump before, showed how willing he was to turn on him.
On Thursday, Donald Trump released his latest statement condemning the House Select Committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Trump ranted that the “Unselect Committee’s sole goal is to try to prevent President Trump, who is leading by large margins in every poll, from running again for president, if I so choose.”
If the vote count had been postponed, Pence and Congress would have been delayed in certifying that Joe Biden had won the election. It would have also given then-President Trump time to do who knows what to thwart the inauguration . Critically, though, Eastman acknowledged in this email to Pence that he knew what he was asking for was a violation of the law.
