WASHINGTON (AP) – The Jan. 6 committee is plunging into Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to salvage the 2020 election by pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to reject the electoral count. Thursday’s hearing will likely focus on how Trump latched onto a highly unusual strategy from conservative law professor John Eastman in the days before the U.S. Capitol riot. The House panel has said the “illegality” was obvious. Pence was to preside over the Jan. 6 session of Congress to certify Joe Biden’s election victory. Testimony is expected from the vice president’s counsel, Greg Jacob, and a retired federal judge, Michael Luttig, who called the plan “incorrect at every turn.”
