'..Trump .. plans to overturn his defeat.'

'..Perry was the first person to connect the then-President with Justice Department attorney Jeffrey Clark, who Trump considered putting in charge of the top law enforcement agency to help implement plans to overturn his defeat.'

'During his appearance in Chicago on Monday, Pence repeatedly implored Republicans to keep the focus on the future -- a stark contrast with Trump's almost singular focus on the 2020 election in his own public appearances.

"In the days between now and Election Day, we need you to say yes -- yes to the future, yes to a future of freedom and our cherished values. And the Republican Party must be the party of the future," Pence said.

But Pence isn't the only White House veteran caught in Trump's line of fire.

The former President has also complained to allies about the content of text messages that Meadows provided to the committee before halting his cooperation. Messages to Trump's then-chief of staff from his own adult children, on-air allies at Fox News, and some of his staunchest supporters on Capitol Hill have revealed just how desperate some were for Trump to condemn the violence at the US Capitol in a timely manner -- and their absolute exasperation with his initial response.

Testimony from at least two former Meadows aides, Cassidy Hutchison and Alyssa Farah, has also proved critical in the ongoing January 6 probe, with Hutchison reportedly revealing in her closed-door deposition that Meadows burned papers in his office following a meeting with Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania where the two men discussed efforts to reject the 2020 election results. Perry was the first person to connect the then-President with Justice Department attorney Jeffrey Clark, who Trump considered putting in charge of the top law enforcement agency to help implement plans to overturn his defeat.'
