Jan. 6 hearings enter third day with focus on vice president's role

The select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot is entering its third day of testimony, with the questioning largely set to center on former President Donald Trump's efforts to convince former Vice President Mike Pence to back his bid to overturn the election results. Video testimony is also expected from Pence Chief of Staff Marc Short.

Thursday's hearing comes a day after the committee decided to postpone Wednesday's hearing.

After drawing millions of views in its first prime-time hearing, interest in the committee's investigation appeared to wane Monday when roughly 10 million people tuned in.

Early reports about what the committee has learned about how Pence navigated Jan. 6 suggest that his boss was aware of the danger the vice president was in when he sent out a tweet blasting him for lacking "courage" to overturn the election results. Trump was reportedly supportive of rioters who were walking through the Capitol chanting "hang Mike Pence," a charge the committee is expected to explore more today.
