WATCH: Jan. 6 rioters came within feet of Pence, new evidence shows | Jan. 6 hearings

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection on June 16 laid out a timeline on how former Vice President Mike Pence was evacuated to a secure location within the U.S. Capitol as rioters were overtaking the building.

The committee laid out evidence that there was not much distance between rioters who had breached the Capitol and the security personnel getting the vice president to a more secure location. This happened minutes after Trump sent out a tweet criticizing Pence for not taking action to overturn the election results that were in the middle of being tallied to certify Joe Biden's presidential victory.

Pence and his staff made it to the secure location as the insurrection was underway, "Barely missing the rioters a few feet away," the committee laid out. The rioters were heard chanting "hang Mike Pence" will breaching the Capitol.

The hearing was the third of several planned by the Jan. 6 committee that focused on Trump’s efforts to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to reject Congress' official count of Electoral College votes on the day of the attack. In the year since its creation, the committee has conducted more than 1,000 interviews, seeking critical information and documents from people witness to, or involved in, the violence that day.

The committee postponed a hearing scheduled for June 15 that was meant to focus on Trump's efforts to replace Attorney General Bill Barr, who did not support his claims of voter fraud after the election.

DC fed judge slamming the door on Jan 6 defendant "change of venue" request:

"Of course there will be jurors in DC who are familiar with the events of Jan. 6 and some of the more high-profile prosecutions that have followed. But prominence does not necessarily produce prejudice".

Judge has rejected yet another request by a Capitol riot defendant to delay trial due to "ongoing publicity" of House Jan 6 Select Committee hearings.

Judge says Doug Jensen's defense argument about potential prejudice is a "dubious proposition".

Jan. 6 hearing examines Trump's 187 minutes at White House as riot unfolded | July 21

The House Jan. 6 committee conducted a public hearing Thursday to examine what former President Donald Trump was doing for 187 minutes — from when rioters descended on the Capitol to his videotaped statement urging them to go home. "The mob was accomplishing President Trump's purpose, and he did not intervene," said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of the committee members leading the hearing. The committee has continued to lay out evidence this summer, showing Trump encouraged his supporters to descend on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after peddling false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

New Jan. 6 panel evidence shows Trump altered his post-Capitol riot speech

Several former Trump aides said in interviews that they pushed the president to put out a stronger statement on Jan. 7 condemning the riot.

Former President Donald Trump removed key lines from a draft document of his Jan. 7, 2021, speech that would have condemned rioters at the Capitol insurrection the day prior as not representing “our movement.”

A screengrab of Trump’s draft speech, which he made handwritten edits to, is shown in a video of Jan. 6 committee evidence and testimony shared by panel member Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.) on Twitter. The video shows edits and various lines crossed out of the prepared remarks in black Sharpie, which Trump’s daughter Ivanka identified as her father’s handwriting in an interview with the committee.

POLITICO originally obtained and reported on Trump’s draft speech, titled “Remarks on National Healing,” in January.

The former president specifically crossed out a line directed at Jan. 6 rioters that said: “I want to be very clear. You do not represent me. You do not represent our movement.” He also changed a line that originally said those who broke the law “belong in jail” to instead say that they “will pay.”

Another portion crossed out by Trump reads: “I am directing the Department of Justice to ensure all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We must send a clear message — not with mercy but with JUSTICE. Legal consequences must be swift and firm.”

In an interview with the Jan. 6 panel, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner said he didn’t know why Trump crossed those lines out.

Several former Trump aides also said in interviews with the panel that they pushed the president to put out a stronger statement on Jan. 7 condemning the riot, especially following an influx of criticism and talk of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Trump’s former director of the presidential personnel office, John McEntee, said in an interview with the committee that he believed the former president was reluctant to give the speech and that Kushner urged him to “nudge this along” with Trump.

Both former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Kushner said in interviews that they felt it was important for Trump to give the speech to de-escalate the criticism and detach himself from the rioters who stormed the Capitol.

“In my view, he needed to express very clearly that the people who committed violent acts, went into the Capitol, did what they did, should be prosecuted and should be arrested,” Cipollone said.

Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said in an interview with the committee that she believed there was concern among people around Trump that the 25th Amendment would be invoked if he didn’t make a statement condemning the violence. She also said there were concerns about Trump’s legacy.

“The secondary reason for that was think about what might happen in the final 15 days of your presidency if we don’t do this. There’s already talks about invoking the 25th Amendment. You need this as cover,” she said.
