Donald Trump joined the committee on Jan. 6 at the third public hearing, protesting to Truth Social that he did not order former Vice President Mike Pence to overthrow the 2020 election – directly disproving evidence from many witnesses without disputing the main issue. The bombing revealed a campaign of pressure from Trump and law professor John Eastman to persuade Pence to end the certification process in Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, and throw the decision in the Republican-led states. The former president was the keynote speaker at a conference on Friday, where he backed up baseless conspiracy theories about electoral fraud and attacked Democrats. He continued this Saturday morning with further posts calling the committee “political thugs”. The jury, meanwhile, asked Genie Thomas, the wife of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, to testify about texts and emails she sent to Mark Meadows and Mr. Eastman before the Capitol Uprising. The longtime right-wing activist said she would force it. Trump’s advisers say he is angry and unhappy watching the Jan. 6 hearings and is frustrated to see videos of his family members, such as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kouchner, being used against him, according to NYT reporter Hang Maan. .
