1:39Now PlayingTrump didn’t know that Mike Pence was in danger from the mob at the Capitol when he sent a disparaging tweet saying that the vice president “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution” by refusing to certify Joe Biden as the presidential election winner, his lawyer said in response to a question.
“At no point was the president informed the vice president was in danger,” Michael van der Veen said. “The answer is ‘no.”’
Representative Joaquin Castro, one of the House impeachment managers, said Trump knew that Pence was in danger because he had been told by freshman Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville that the vice president had been evacuated.
“Our commander in chief did nothing,” Castro said.
Tuberville told Politico in a statement that on a call from Trump during the Capitol invasion he said, “Mr. President, they just took the Vice President out, I’ve got to go.”
