There were people who had gallows erected on the lawn of the Capitol ostensibly to hang the vice president. His life was in danger. I would hope that he would do the right thing and come forward and voluntarily. Talk to the committee. We`d like to know what his security detail told him was going on. And what all went on, I think it`s important that the public needs to know. This was the number two person in government.
Thompson emphasizes the danger faced by Vice President Mike Pence during the Capitol insurrection and urges him to cooperate with the January 6 committee.
