  • The select panel probing the Capitol riot detailed the intense pressure then-President Donald Trump and his allies heaped on then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject key electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021.

...

Pence came within about 40 feet of some of the pro-Trump rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building, said Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., who led much of Thursday’s hearing.

 

“Make no mistake about the fact that the vice president’s life was in danger,” Aguilar said.

 

He noted that a confidential informant from the Proud Boys told the FBI that members of the far-right group “would have killed Mike Pence if given a chance,” according to a recent court filing by the Department of Justice.
