As former Vice President Mike Pence toured the border, the Jan. 6 investigation also came up as a topic.
HEREFORD, Ariz. — As former Vice President Mike Pence toured the border, the Jan. 6t investigation also came up as a topic.
Despite the invasion of the Capitol, Pence ignored pressure to set aside the certified Electoral College votes and help Donald Trump hold onto the Presidency. In his role as presiding officer of the U.S. Senate, he formally accepted the votes that made Joe Biden President. That earned Pence the anger of Trump and members of his own party.
Pence: “ Well, Jan. 6 was a tragic day. But thanks to the courage of law enforcement, we secured the capital. We restored order. We were able to complete our duty under the Constitution of the United States of America. I'll always believe that I did my duty that day. And I know in my heart of hearts I did. And I believe that when all the information and the facts come forward, the American people will better understand what occurred.
