reporter: it will all focus on the pressure on mike pence to take that unconstitutional action on january 6, 2021 to overturn the electoral certified votes of the states here on january 6, something of course that he rejected doing. but going to the genesis of how this theory first came about. looking at the trump attorney john eastman who is a prominent supporter of this and directly tie donald trump s words to the violence that occurred on january 6 as words about mike pence into exactly what happened here in the capitol. now, two people will be testifying who are very close to mike pence, we expect to hear from greg jake sob who is a former counsel for mike pence and as well as judge mike luttig, former judge and adviser of sorts to pence to understand what the vice president was thinking at the time. we do also expect to see video deposition from his former chief of staff marc short, who will be featured prominently in today s hearing. we ve gotten a copy of judge lutti

that same judge issued a landmark ruling earlier this year finding it was more likely than not that trump and a conservative lawyer committed a crime and strikeategizing to overturn the election. trump is not charged with a crime and denied any wrongdoing. he continues to down play his involvement and bashing the committee s work as another quote witch hunt. january 6th. what a lot of crap, it s another con job like russia. reporter: committee members say trump was decar on his duty and republicans pleaded for trump to intervene and text messages to his white house chief of staff. i think mark meadows is the ms mvp for the committee. reporter: denver helped decode meadow s text among the 2300 messages obtained by cnn. donald trump junior texting he s got to condemn this shit asap. meadows responding, i am pushing it hard. i agree. it took trump over three hours to release this recorded video. so go home, we love you. you re very special. look at the totality of th
