	Description:		The January 6 Committee hears testimony that multiple advisers told Trump his plan aided by lawyer John Eastman to overturn the election was illegal, but he relentlessly pressured his Vice President Mike Pence to follow his orders anyway. Trump denouncing Pence for ‘lacking courage’ in a tweet causing a surge as the mob was storming the Capitol, was like “pouring gasoline on the fire”, White House aide Sarah Matthews said. The panel says rioters came within 40-feet of Pence while they called for his head. There's also testimony on the alarming levels of violence Trump’s lawyer was willing to tolerate causing as a consequence of his actions, and the DOJ says an informant told them Proud Boys would have killed Pence and Pelosi if they had the chance on January 6. Plus, the Dow closes at its lowest level in a year amid recession fears, mortgage rates hit 5.78% and Yellowstone National Park is staggered by rain and floods.
