Pence’s Jan. 6 Notes Reveal Trump’s Attempt to Overturn Election
According to recently published notes from Mike Pence’s day planner, Donald Trump berated Pence, calling him a “wimp” for refusing to overturn the 2020 election results. The notes, included in Jonathan Karl’s new book, detail the phone call between Trump and Pence on January 6, 2021, where Trump expressed his disapproval of Pence’s decision to certify the election. The notes also reveal Trump’s apparent anger, with an emoji drawn next to a comment. The special counsel Jack Smith planned to use the notes as evidence, but the case was dismissed.
