Eastman state-legislature theory is routed into the White House before the later Pence pressure campaign

Committee-preserved transcripts describe Jenna Ellis emailing Mark Meadows and Molly Michael “for POTUS” with John Eastman’s article on state-legislature authority to choose electors. This is useful documentary evidence of when Eastman’s legal theory was being routed toward senior White House channels. It is not evidence by itself that Trump read the attachment, agreed with it, or had already adopted the later January 6 Pence strategy.

Chesebro sends Giuliani a “President of the Senate” strategy memorandum

The Select Committee final report says Kenneth Chesebro sent Rudy Giuliani a memorandum arguing that the President of the Senate could make judgments when there were purported competing electoral votes, including a proposal not to count Arizona’s certified Biden electors. The document predates the later Eastman pressure campaign and helps show how the Vice President theory developed. The report’s interpretation of the memo is labeled as a committee finding.

Final pre-rally Trump–Pence call becomes heated after Pence again refuses the elector theory

The Select Committee report says Trump called Pence shortly before leaving for the Ellipse and continued pressing him over the electoral count. Chapter 7 places the call at 11:17 AM and says it lasted nearly 20 minutes; Chapter 5 describes it as approximately 11:20 AM. Herschmann and Ivanka Trump described the tone as becoming heated. The hub uses those witness accounts for the existence, timing range and tone of the call while keeping the committee’s broader conclusions about Trump’s purpose and legal responsibility separately labeled as committee findings. A separate committee-preserved Pence staff transcript independently places the call at approximately 11:20 AM, while the witness expressly said he did not know the contents beyond public reporting; that transcript therefore corroborates approximate timing, not disputed dialogue.

Rudolph Giuliani

Track state-legislative presentations, public fraud allegations, the January 6 rally speech, litigation outcomes, and later attorney-discipline records as separate evidence streams. Committee conclusions are labeled as committee findings rather than court judgments. New York’s Appellate Division disbarred Giuliani in July 2024 after sustaining professional-misconduct findings tied to false 2020-election statements; that is a professional-discipline outcome, not a criminal conviction. On November 7, 2025, Trump issued a full federal pardon covering U.S. citizens for conduct relating to 2020 alternate-elector activity and efforts to expose alleged voting fraud; Giuliani is specifically named. That federal pardon is tracked separately from state proceedings and attorney discipline. In Arizona, the 2024 indictment naming Giuliani was dismissed on June 18, 2026 after litigation over the grand-jury presentation; the attorney general announced an intent to seek a new indictment. The dismissal and any future charging decision remain separate from the federal pardon and from the historical professional-discipline record. The June 21, 2022 Select Committee hearing record also preserves late-November voicemails from Giuliani and Jenna Ellis to Pennsylvania House Speaker Bryan Cutler; the committee record says Cutler asked through counsel that the calls stop and that Giuliani continued outreach. This is committee-preserved contact evidence, not a criminal conviction. Committee-preserved Nevada records also document Kenneth Chesebro telling state Republican officials that Giuliani and other Trump-campaign figures had asked him to help organize the December 14 alternate-elector meeting; the hub treats that as documentary coordination evidence, not as a criminal conviction or a finding that every participant shared the same intent. The Senate impeachment-trial record also preserves a roughly 7 PM January 6 voicemail in which Giuliani, calling Senator Mike Lee’s phone while trying to reach Tommy Tuberville, asked Republican senators to slow the electoral-count proceeding. The recorded request is documentary evidence; impeachment managers’ conclusions about coordination or Trump’s state of mind remain their argument rather than a criminal-court finding. The November 25, 2020 Gettysburg Pennsylvania Republican policy hearing is also tracked as a separate state-pressure presentation: the Trump campaign announced Giuliani’s participation, and contemporaneous AP reporting documents Trump calling into the event after Pennsylvania certification. The hearing documents the campaign’s legislative-pressure presentation; allegations voiced there are not treated as adjudicated findings. The Ruby Freeman/Shaye Moss defamation litigation is tracked as a separate civil-court stream. A federal district court entered default judgment against Giuliani in 2023 as a discovery sanction, holding him civilly liable on defamation, intentional-infliction-of-emotional-distress and civil-conspiracy claims; a jury then awarded the plaintiffs approximately $148 million in damages. A later federal bankruptcy-court opinion recites that judgment. This is a civil judgment, not a criminal conviction, and it is kept separate from the Select Committee’s findings and Trump’s own statements. The Select Committee final report also records two connected calls with Rep. Jim Jordan at 7:33 p.m. and 7:49 p.m. on January 6 while Giuliani testified he was trying to reach members of Congress to encourage continued electoral objections; the July 21 hearing separately preserves his 7:02 p.m. voicemail to Sen. Tommy Tuberville asking senators to slow the count. These contacts are tracked as congressional phone-record/testimony evidence and do not by themselves establish that the recipients agreed to Giuliani’s requests. A December 13, 2020 campaign email displayed in Robert Sinners’s Select Committee interview also records Kenneth Chesebro conveying to Sinners and Mike Roman that Giuliani wanted the elector activity kept quiet until voting was completed. Sinners did not recall a specific conversation explaining the request, so the hub treats the email as documentary evidence of the secrecy request without inferring motive, agreement by every recipient, or criminality from that communication alone. The file also cross-references the Select Committee report’s finding that Giuliani participated in a January 2, 2021 private briefing reportedly attended by nearly 300 battleground-state legislators. The committee’s scale estimate is not a court judgment, and attendance does not by itself establish agreement or unlawful conduct by every participant.

California’s Supreme Court disbarred Eastman on April 15, 2026 after the State Bar process found him culpable on 10 of 11 disciplinary charges. On June 26, Justice Kagan extended his deadline to seek U.S. Supreme Court review to September 12, 2026. The disbarment is a professional-discipline outcome, not a criminal conviction, and the extension is not a merits ruling. On November 7, 2025, Trump also issued a full federal pardon covering specified 2020-election conduct and specifically named Eastman. The site treats that federal clemency as a separate legal event: it does not rewrite the committee evidence trail, the California disciplinary findings, or any state-law proceeding. The June 16 hearing record also preserves Greg Jacob’s sworn testimony about the January 4 Oval Office meeting with Trump and Pence: Jacob said Eastman presented both an outright-rejection theory and a roughly 10-day adjournment theory, and acknowledged in Trump’s presence that the proposal would violate the Electoral Count Act. That testimony is maintained as a witness record, distinct from the committee’s broader conclusions and from Eastman’s later professional-discipline outcome. The June 16 hearing also preserves the January 6 2:14–2:25 PM email exchange in which Greg Jacob rejected Eastman’s theory as Pence’s team was being evacuated and Eastman replied by blaming Pence and Jacob for the siege. This is tracked as authenticated documentary evidence and sworn testimony, separate from the committee’s broader conclusions and Eastman’s later professional-discipline record. The evidence file now also includes the December 23, 2020 “January 6 scenario” memo preserved as Chapman053476, which the Select Committee identifies as an Eastman email attachment sent to Boris Epshteyn and Kenneth Chesebro. The document is tracked as primary documentary evidence; the committee’s conclusions about its legal significance remain separately labeled as committee findings. The evidence file now also separates Eastman’s January 3, 2021 six-page memorandum from the shorter December 23 memo. The Select Committee report describes the later document as “war gaming” multiple January 6 alternatives, including rejection/deferral scenarios and a possible return to state legislatures. The document trail is presented separately from the committee’s conclusions about legality or intent and from Eastman’s later professional-discipline outcome. Eastman’s December 9, 2021 Select Committee deposition also records him invoking the Fifth Amendment when asked whether he stayed at or participated in the Willard Hotel “war room,” whom he met there, and whether he communicated with Trump from the hotel. The hub records the invocation as a constitutional-rights fact and does not treat it as an admission or evidence of guilt. The file now also includes the November 28, 2020 committee-preserved email exhibit in which Jenna Ellis sent Mark Meadows and presidential executive assistant Molly Michael an Eastman article on state-legislature authority, marked “for POTUS.” That record establishes routing of Eastman’s theory into senior White House channels but does not by itself establish that Trump personally read or adopted the attachment. The file also now cross-references the Select Committee report’s finding that Eastman participated in a January 2, 2021 private briefing reportedly attended by nearly 300 battleground-state legislators. The committee’s attendance estimate and characterization are investigative findings; participation alone does not establish that each attendee agreed with Eastman’s legal theory or acted on it.

White House contactsFederal 2020-election conduct pardoned Nov. 7, 2025 · Arizona 2024 indictment dismissed June 18, 2026; announced re-presentation not yet a charge

Mark Meadows

Track Meadows's role as a conduit among Trump, state officials and outside lawyers, including Georgia-related contacts and archived White House communications. Participation in a communication is not itself presented as proof of a crime. The Arizona 2024 indictment naming Meadows was dismissed on June 18, 2026 after litigation over the grand-jury presentation. The attorney general said she intends to return the matter to a new grand jury; that announced plan is not itself a new indictment or conviction. Trump’s November 7, 2025 proclamation specifically names Meadows in a full federal pardon for covered 2020-election conduct. That federal clemency is reported separately from state criminal proceedings and from the underlying communications record; it does not convert allegations into findings or erase independent state-court dispositions. DOJ’s own FOIA production adds a direct contact ledger: Rosen’s calendar records a Dec. 21 five-minute phone call with Meadows and a Dec. 29 West Wing meeting attended by Meadows, Rosen and Richard Donoghue; the same production includes later Jan. 3 logistics messages connected to a 6:15 p.m. White House meeting. Those records establish that the contacts occurred, but the calendar entries and logistics messages do not by themselves establish the substance, purpose or legality of every discussion. The January 6 documentary record also preserves a sequence of contemporaneous messages sent to Meadows while the Capitol attack was underway: Laura Ingraham at 2:32 PM, Donald Trump Jr. at 2:53 PM, Sean Hannity at 3:31 PM, and Brian Kilmeade at 3:58 PM each urged a stronger public presidential response or asked that people be told to leave. Those messages establish that multiple Trump allies were pressing the White House chief of staff for action during the attack; they do not by themselves establish what Trump personally saw at each minute, prove the full substance of Meadows’s communications with Trump, or constitute a judicial finding about criminal responsibility. The Meadows file now also records a November 28, 2020 committee-preserved email from Jenna Ellis to Meadows and presidential executive assistant Molly Michael, marked “for POTUS,” attaching John Eastman’s article on state-legislature authority to choose electors. The exhibit establishes that Meadows was a recipient in the White House routing chain; it does not by itself establish Trump’s receipt, Meadows’s agreement with the article, or criminal intent. The file also includes Meadows’s January 5 email to John Aycoth saying the D.C. Guard would be on hand to “protect pro Trump people.” The committee record establishes Meadows’s written wording and expectation, but the email is not a Defense Department deployment order and is not treated as proof that the Guard received a partisan command or that Trump issued a 10,000-troop order.

Justice DepartmentFederal 2020-election conduct pardoned Nov. 7, 2025 · D.C. Board recommended disbarment; discipline remains pending

Jeffrey Clark

Track the proposed Justice Department intervention involving Georgia, resistance from senior DOJ leadership, the January 3 White House leadership confrontation, and later committee findings separately from professional-discipline litigation. The June 23, 2022 hearing record preserves Richard Donoghue and Jeffrey Rosen testimony about a December 28 draft letter that would have urged Georgia officials to convene the legislature over claimed election irregularities; Rosen and Donoghue refused to sign it. The same hearing record describes the January 3 Oval Office meeting over whether Clark should replace Rosen, including Donoghue’s testimony that no participant supported Clark and the committee’s use of White House call logs showing Clark being referred to as Acting Attorney General before the meeting. These are committee-preserved testimony and records, not a criminal conviction. On July 31, 2025, a majority of the D.C. Board on Professional Responsibility recommended disbarment for attempted dishonesty connected to the proposed Georgia letter; the D.C. Bar still lists the matter as pending. On May 13, 2026, the Justice Department filed a federal lawsuit seeking to nullify the D.C. disciplinary prosecution. That complaint states DOJ’s legal position; it does not itself reverse the Board recommendation or constitute a merits ruling in Clark’s favor. Trump’s November 7, 2025 proclamation specifically names Clark in a full federal pardon for covered 2020-election conduct. That pardon is kept separate from the D.C. professional-discipline case and DOJ’s 2026 civil challenge to that disciplinary process; federal clemency does not itself decide those professional-regulatory issues. Donoghue’s authenticated December 27 notes also record Trump mentioning that people told him Clark was “great” and that he should put Clark in, adding an earlier documentary waypoint before the January 3 leadership confrontation. That note is evidence of what was said on the call; it is not by itself a finding that Clark committed a crime. The committee’s published report materials also cite a late-December message trail in which Rep. Scott Perry repeatedly urged Mark Meadows to contact Clark, including Dec. 26 and Dec. 28 follow-ups and a Jan. 2 request to be called immediately after Meadows spoke with Clark. The messages are preserved as congressional investigative evidence and are cross-linked to Perry’s congressional profile; they do not themselves constitute a criminal conviction of Perry or Clark.
