Mike Pence comes to Cincinnati as he becomes focus of Jan. 6 committee – The Cincinnati Enquirer

Former Vice President Mike Pence will travel to Cincinnati on Thursday alongside Gov. Mike DeWine for a roundtable with members ofOhio's natural gas and oil industry.

While the topic will be domestic energy,Pence's visit comes amid a much bigger drama.

On the same day, the U.S. House Jan. 6 commission is expected to examine how former President Donald Trump pressured Pence to overturn the election.

Pence has not testified before the committee. But he's played a central role in the testimony about the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection. Pence's refusal to support Trump's plan to stay in power drew Trump's wrath, according to testimony from the Jan. 6 committee.

U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican who serves as vice chair of the committee, said this past Thursday testimony will show Trump responded to the rioter's calls to "hang Mike Pence" by sayingthat maybe our supporters have the right idea" and that Mike Pence "deserves it.

Individual tickets cost $500 and a "VIP roundtable" with Pence costs $2,900.
