Jan. 6 Committee Day 3 Rundown: How to Watch Mike Pence’s Lawyer, Chief of Staff and More Take the Stand

Conservative actor Jon Voight called for President Biden to be impeached this week, accusing him of having "wronged this nation's glory." Voight, an avid supporter of Donald Trump, called for the president to be removed from office in a video he posted to his Twitter account Tuesday.  The actor did not specifically cite his grievances or why he believed Biden should be booted from the commander-in-chief role but claimed, "we’re all feeling very unsafe."

Hot off explosive testimony yesterday from Cassidy Hutchinson, the top aide to President Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, the Congressional Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack has subpoenaed former White House Counsel Pasquale “Pat” Cipollone for deposition testimony as a part of the committee’s investigation into the assault on the U.S. Capitol.

“Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough had a warning for his old “buddy,” former congressman and Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows: “You’re in deep s—.” On Tuesday, Meadows’ former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson took the stand to testify at the Jan. 6 hearings, and perhaps the only figure it was as damning to as Donald Trump was her boss. Providing testimony that Trump was not only aware of the threat of violence, but that he encouraged it and even at one point tried to join the crowd at the Capitol, Hutchinson’s fly-on-the-wall recollection also got Meadows in its crosshairs, as she testified that he knew of such developments the whole time.

Donald Trump threw a verbal punch at Fox News Saturday, calling the network that helped get him elected president “stupid” for booking liberal comedian Bill Maher, who said the network backed out of talks for him to appear on one of their shows when he balked at “only talking about the things we agree on.”Why Trump’s swipe at Maher? Well, apparently Maher’s remark that Ron DeSantis would make a better president than Donald Trump has gotten under the skin of the former POTUS… and the “Real Time” host is loving it.On Friday’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the host-comedian said that the Florida governor who has modeled his every move on Trump would be a better president than The Donald  because “he’s not certifiably insane.”“That’s a great one to start off with,” Maher told his audience. “You know what Ron DeSantis won’t be doing? He won’t be poop tweeting every day.

Bill Maher didn’t sidestep his thoughts about Donald Trump and his hope that another Republican would come to the forefront before the 2024 presidential election, going as far as saying that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be better than Trump because “he’s not an insane person.”On Friday night’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the comedian-host jumped right in on what everyone interested in politics is talking about these days, and that’s the House January 6 committee hearings, which seem to be focusing on Trump’s involvement in the insurrection.“First of all, I actually have no issue with Trump being prosecuted, and I have a lot of issue with elites being left unaccountable for the crimes that they commit, number one. Number two, that’s not going to solve our problem,” guest panelist and podcast host Krystal Ball said.

Donald Trump called Mike Pence “the P-word” and “a wimp” during a phone call in which the President was trying to convince the Vice President to take the unprecedented – and almost certainly illegal – step of singlehandedly refusing to certify the 2020 election, according to testimony Thursday on Capitol Hill.In a brief clip of video testimony at the Jan. 6 committee hearings, Julie Radford, Ivanka Trump’s Chief of Staff at the White House, said her boss told her “that her dad had just had an upsetting conversation with the VP.”She was asked by the questioning attorney whether she remembered what name Trump called Pence.“The P-word,” she said.Nicholas Luna, a former Trump assistant, added in his own testimony that “I remember the word ‘wimp.’ I remember he said, ‘You are a wimp.

UPDATE: J. Michael Luttig, a retired judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals, said that if Mike Pence went with Donald Trump’s orders to reject the electoral vote count for Joe Biden it “would have plunged America into what I believe would have been tantamount to a revolution within a constitutional crisis in America.” Luttig, a conservative judge and informal adviser to Pence, said that it “would have been the first constitutional crisis since the founding of the republic.”

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) previewed the next January 6th Committee hearing, saying in a Twitter post that it would focus on Donald Trump’s “relentless effort” to pressure Mike Pence to reject the electoral vote count that showed Joe Biden as the victor.
