A lawyer representing Trump appeared to admit on Thursday night that Trump sought to coerce former Vice President Mike Pence to act illegally ahead of Congress’s certification of the Electoral College.

Vice President Mike Pence and President Donald Trump attend a meeting with the White House Coronavirus Task Force and pharmaceutical executives in Cabinet Room of the White House on March 2, 2020, in Washington, D.C.

“What President Trump said is…let’s just halt, let’s just pause the voting and allow the state legislatures to take one last look and make a determination as to whether or not the elections were handled fairly,”Trump had already taken several avenues to dispute the outcome of the 2020 election, losing dozens of court challenges in which judges — including some appointed by him — refused to entertain his false claims of election fraud.
