Former VP Mike Pence Shares That He’d ‘Consider Testifying’ In Jan. 6th Hearings

However, it is difficult to believe this seemingly harmless excuse, in which texts that included incriminating evidence were conveniently erased right before they were sought after by officials. According to Guglielmi, “7,678 team chat messages by Secret Service employees referencing conversations and operational details pertaining to Jan. 6 and preparations leading up to it” were unfortunately deleted.
