The House of Representatives Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on Capitol Hill by former president Donald Trump's supporters, held its third public hearing on Thursday.

The session focused on efforts by Trump and his associates to convince former vice-president Mike Pence not to formally certify Democrat Joe Biden's victory in the November 2020 presidential election.

“Eventually, he latched onto a completely nonsensical and anti-democratic theory that one man, his own vice-president, could determine the outcome of the election,” Bennie Thompson said. “This theory.. runs completely contrary to our constitution, our laws and the entirety of the American experience.”

Thousands of Trump supporters — many chanting "Hang Mike Pence" — marched on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Pence met with lawmakers for what is normally a routine ceremony to certify the election. Some erected gallows they said were intended for Pence.

Thursday's hearing featured testimony from Greg Jacob, who served as counsel to Pence, and retired U.S. Appeals Court Judge J. Michael Luttig, who was an informal adviser to the vice president.
