Analysis: According to the indictment — and in concordance with the findings of the House select committee that probed the riot — Trump didn’t do much at first. But he was quickly active in rejecting calls to condemn the violence.
By 1 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, Donald Trump and those focused on helping him retain power had to switch to what might be called Plan B.
Once Pence rejected the plan, though, Trump and his allies — particularly Giuliani — scrambled to go the official route: increasing the number of senators willing to oppose the recognition of the electors. They already had, thanks to the willingness of Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz to object to electors from Arizona and Pennsylvania. Expanding that pool of legislators became the Alamo, the last stand.
Congress reconvened its joint session at about 11:30 p.m., according to the indictment. Fifteen minutes later, Eastman emailed Pence’s attorney, asking that Pence “consider one more relatively minor violation [of the Electoral Count Act] and adjourn for 10 days to allow the legislatures to finish their investigations, as well as to allow a full forensic audit of the massive amount of illegal activity that has occurred here.” That didn’t occur.
