An attorney working with Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudolph Giuliani drafted a plan for Vice President Mike Pence to step aside from presiding over the counting of electoral votes on 6 January 2021 so the Senate’s most senior Republican could refuse to count votes from swing states won by Joe Biden.
The plan, laid out in an email to Mr Giuliani which was forwarded to ex-law professor John Eastman, was drafted by attorney John Cheseboro and made public by the House January 6 select committee in a court filing last week.
