Includes testimony from Michael Luttig, conservative attorney and former judge; Greg Jacob, former Mike Pence general counsel; and Marc Short, former Mike Pence chief of staff.

Report 5: Trump's Plan to Pressure the DOJ to Overturn Election

Report 6: Trump Encouraged Rioters to Storm the Capitol—Then Did Nothing to Stop the Violence
