The former prosecutor highlighted a trio providing key evidence in the DOJ's January 6 indictment of the ex-president.
On the day before the Capitol attack and the election certification, Trump met alone with Pence to again pressure him to obstruct the proceedings, and"grew frustrated" when the former vice president again refused. Trump then reportedly told Pence that he"would have to publicly criticize" him for not agreeing.
Kirschner said that Trump's warning to Pence is evidence of the former president launching the violence at the Capitol on the day of January 6, along with Trump's tweets during the attack that blamed Pence for not having the"courage" to halt the election proceedings. "Trump didn't just criticize Pence publicly. He called him a coward," Kirschner added."He told the angry mob, which was mid-assault at the Capitol, 'Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what was necessary to protect our country' ... The signal was sent. 'Get him.'"Kirschner lastly pointed at evidence in the indictment of Trump attempting to use the Justice Department to pave the way for his fake-elector scheme.
After Rosen told Trump on the phone that the DOJ"could not and would not change the outcome of the election," the former president reportedly responded,"Just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen."
