June 19, 2022 January 6th Hearing # 3: Pres. Trump's Alleged Campaign to Influence VP Pence
January 6 Committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said “ Thanks in part to Mike Pence, our democracy withstood Donald Trump’s scheme and the violence of Jan. 6.” The chair’s remarks came as he delivered his opening statement during the January 6 Committee hearing on the investigation of the attack on the U.S. Capitol. This is the third in a series of hearings - after months of closed-door investigations - detailing the committee’s findings on the attack. While testifying on the pressure then-Vice President Pence was subjected to by former President Trump and attorney John Eastman, former counsel to Vice President Pence, Greg Jacobs said that the vice president was urged multiple times by the president and Mr. Eastman to reject the electors prior to the joint session of Congress, even though the vice president consistently said he did not have the authority to do so. Also testifying before the committee was Judge Michael Luttig (ret.), an unofficial adviser to Vice President Pence.

June 19, 2022 January 6th Hearing # 2: Investigation of January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol
The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol held the second of a series of hearings. Committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said that former President Donald Trump “betrayed the trust of the American people” and “ignored the will of the voters,” as he tried to remain in office even after being told he lost the 2020 election. While testifying on allegations of voter fraud in Pennsylvania, specifically those levied by President Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani that thousands of dead people in the state cast their vote in the election, former Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt said, “not only was there not evidence of 8,000 dead voters voting in Pennsylvania, there wasn’t evidence of eight.” During the hearing, the committee showed never-before-seen video testimony of President Trump’s campaign manager, William Stepien, and former Attorney General William Barr refuting the former president’s claims of voter fraud.
