The third in a series of public hearings investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol will focus in on the pressure campaign to convince former Vice President Mike Pence to reject electors from six disputed states. Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) will lead the hearing, with Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) continuing to preside.
Much of the day’s evidence and testimony is expected to focus on a dual-track effort to convince Pence, who presided over the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, to reject certified electors from a number of states former President Donald Trump and his allies claimed had been tainted by voter fraud. The committee was expected to show more evidence that the president’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, was a key player in advancing one of those tracks – a scheme to convince multiple states, including Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania, to send slates of “alternate electors.”
