The third public hearing of the House select committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol on January 6 2021 will focus on the pressure campaign mounted against then-vice president Mike Pence by former president Donald Trump and his allies in the lead-up to the Capitol riot.
“We're going to focus on the pressure campaign on former Vice President Pence driven by the former president, even as advice was swirling around the White House saying that the scheme was illegal, it was totally baseless,” said a select committee aide who briefed reporters on plans for the hearing late on Wednesday.
