Trump’s former deputy testifies against him – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

Former Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to testify in the House of Representatives Committee on Thursday, January 6, 2021, to investigate the attack on the Congress building on January 6, 2021.

Greg Jacob, Pence’s lawyer, is scheduled to testify at the third of six hearings.

The meeting is scheduled to focus on Pence’s role on the day of the congressional attack.

The committee is examining Trump’s contacts with Pence. At the time of the attack on Trump, Trump had asked Pence to refuse to approve the election, but Pence rejected Trump’s requests to block the certification of the election. Trump was angry that Pence had rejected his order in the House of Representatives to reject Biden’s victory. “I had no right to cancel the election,” Pence later said in a speech in Florida.

Coinciding with the 2020 presidential election and the outbreak of the American people in the US Congress, the plan to impeach Trump was presented to the Congress for the second time during his presidency, but he survived. Republican Congresswoman and Vice President Liz Cheney said Trump was calling for the rebels to be called to Congress.

Former United States President Donald Trump has been accused of plotting a coup in a US congressional investigation into the January 6, 2020 riots.
