A documentary film crew captured former Vice President Mike Pence's somewhat opaque reaction to seeing a draft Congressional resolution calling for him to invoke the 25th amendment to remove Trump from office.
The University of Virginia will host freedom on April 12, 2022.
In the clip obtained by CNN, an aide to the vice president gives him a cell phone and shows a draft of a resolution that would have him invoke the 25th Amendment.
The aide was asked to print out a copy of the draft.
Video of crews building security fencing around the Capitol is shown in the next clip.
It is not clear if he is celebrating the news or just upbeat during the last days of the Trump administration.
Pelosi said at a press conference six days after the attack on the Capitol that Congress would move forward with impeachment proceedings if Trump and his cabinet didn't remove him from office. The power to remove a president from office is given to the vice president by the 25th Amendment. In a letter to Pelosi on January 12 he said he was shocked and sad by the events of January 6, but he didn't think using the 25th amendment would be in the best interest of the nation. On January 13th, the House impeached Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, making him the first president to ever be impeached twice. The Senate voted 57-43 to convict Trump, but that fell well short of the two-thirds vote needed to convict him.
The fifth hearing of the January 6 Committee on their investigation into the attack on the Capitol is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m., and will focus on Trump's efforts to use the Department of Justice to investigate baseless claims of voter fraud. The final hearings were delayed due to the need to review new evidence. He said in a statement that he would give a deposition before the committee on Thursday.
I had no agenda in mind when I made this. The purpose of the statement was to better understand who the Trumps were and what motivated them to hold onto power. We have complied with the Committee's requests and handed over everything they asked for.
