The motion also included new details on how Trump’s relationship with Pence deteriorated, with the former vice-president telling Trump to stop repeating false election fraud theories and move on.

The documents released on Friday include transcripts of interviews with the 6 January House committee that investigated the US Capitol riot, parts of Pence’s autobiography and fundraising emails sent to voters.

It is unclear if the 6 January case will ever go to trial. Trump is expected to end the prosecution if he returns to the White House.

He is facing several other criminal cases. He already has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York in relation to a hush-money payment.

    Using your office to kill an investigation into yourself has got to be an impeachable offence.

      No way with this supreme court. They already gave blanket immunity for anything done as president, which is absolutely insane and should have people rioting

      While I wholeheartedly agree, if it’s up to 3 impeachments and still no consequences, then impeachment becomes nothing more than a mark on a dude covered in spots.

      Something needs to actually happen for it to be of any sort of threat 🫤

      Gerrymandering makes a Democratic house majority increasingly less likely every election season.
