The day after the insurrection, a White House lawyer confronted a right-wing lawyer.
Eric Herschmann testified that he asked the man if he was thinking.
Trump was involved in trying to change the outcome of the election.
On the day after the Capitol riot, Eric Herschmann confronted John Eastman, a conservative lawyer who pushed Trump's election lies.
Herschmann told the committee that he asked the man if he was out of his mind. I only want you to say two words: orderly transition.
The first meeting of the House committee looking into the Capitol attack took place on Thursday. The testimonies of William Barr, the former attorney general, and the former president's daughter were included in the hearing.
Liz Cheney, the top Republican on the panel investigating the insurrection, said in her closing statement that more of Herschmann's testimony will be revealed during a future hearing focused on how Trump and his allies tried to pressure the Justice Department to find evidence of widespread voter fraud.
He told the committee that he found false claims made by Giuliani and Powell to be crazy.
Herschmann told the panel that he thought the proposal was crazy. The theory was crazy. He has an affidavit from someone who says they wrote a software in something with the Philippines and it was all over the radar.
The Vice President had the power to delay the formal certification of the election or reject the Electoral College results from specific states, according to a report. On January 6th, he declared that he had no power.
The January 6 committee's investigations have focused on Eastman's actions. During Trump's first impeachment trial, Herschmann was part of the legal team that focused on Trump's efforts to pressure Ukraine.
