KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The U.S. House Jan. 6 committee on Tuesday subpoenaed Phill Kline, a former Kansas attorney general who aided efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
According to the subpoena, Kline convened a meeting between President Donald Trump and more than 300 state legislators in an attempt "to disseminate purported evidence of election fraud" and encouraged the legislators to sign a letter urging Vice President Mike Pence to delay the electoral certification on Jan. 6, 2021.
As a last-ditch effort to remain in power, Trump and his supporters urged Pence to intervene to delay or block Congress' formal certification of the election results, a power the vice president doesn't have.
