TL;DR Summary

Attorneys for former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence are clashing over what Trump asked Pence to do on January 6, 2021. Trump's defense attorney claims that Trump only wanted Pence to "pause" the certification of votes to allow states to investigate his baseless claims of election fraud. However, Pence denies this, stating that Trump wanted him to reject votes outright. Pence's role in certifying Joe Biden's win makes him a central figure in the prosecution against Trump on charges of seeking to overturn the election. Trump's legal team plans to seek a change of venue for the trial and wants a more diverse jury.
