"Pence and Trump Attorney Disagree on Jan. 6 Conversation"

Former President Donald Trump's attorney, John Lauro, claims that Trump never asked Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 election results but only wanted him to "pause" the certification of votes to allow for investigations into alleged election fraud. However, Pence denies this, stating that Trump seemed "convinced" that Pence had the authority to reject or return votes. Pence's role in certifying Joe Biden's win makes him a central figure in the prosecution against Trump, who is facing charges related to his efforts to overturn the election. Trump's legal team plans to seek a change of venue for the trial and supports televising it, while former allies of Trump have stated that he knew he had lost but spread false claims of fraud anyway.
