Discussion Thread: House Jan 6 Public Hearings, Day 3 - 06/16/2022 at 1 pm ET

Posted: 16 Jun 2022 06:42 AM PDT

The House Jan. 6 Select Committee's public hearings on the Capitol Insurrection continue this afternoon from 1 pm ET. Today's focus is on Trump's pressure campaign on Mike Pence to reject the electoral votes - a power the then-Vice President did not possess. It would've been the culmination of a strategy to overturn the election, formulated by Trump lawyer John Eastman. Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) will lead today's questioning.

Today's Witnesses:

  • Greg Jacob, former general counsel to Mike Pence at the time of the insurrection
  • Michael Luttig, former appeals court judge who advised Mike Pence on Eastman's memo
