Jan. 6 probe threatens fragile Trump-Pence peace
| The investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol poses a serious threat to the tenuous relationship between former President Trump and former Vice President Pence.
The House panel probing the riot is said to be interested in speaking with multiple members of Pence’s circle about how events unfolded as the then-vice president was whisked to safety in the Capitol while Trump supporters stormed the building, calling for him to be hanged. Many ex-Trump officials have refused to cooperate with the committee in any capacity as the former president rails against it, but lawmakers may find more willing witnesses among members of Pence’s team, particularly as Trump continues to dismiss the threats on Jan. 6. |
