"Trump's Threat to Pence: A Career-Killing Warning and Shredded Documents"

TL;DR Summary
A witness testified that former President Donald Trump warned then-Vice President Mike Pence that certifying the election results on January 6 would be a "career killer," in a last-ditch effort to overturn the election. The witness, a White House valet, recounted Trump's direct threat to Pence, which was part of Trump's attempt to convince Pence to overturn the results. Pence and his advisers had repeatedly told Trump there was no legal basis to interfere with the electoral vote tally, and Pence ultimately disavowed Trump's theories, leading to strained relations between the two.
