It had previously been known that Tuberville and Trump spoke, though the details of the conversation are new. The fact that the Alabama senator told the president that Pence was in danger is a potentially useful nugget for the Democrats’ impeachment managers, who are trying to convince Senate Republicans that Trump egged on the mob and then did nothing to quell the violence once it erupted. Trump, who has never addressed the danger to Pence, sent out a tweet around the time of his call with Tuberville saying the then-vice president did not have the “courage” to halt the certification of the Electoral College results. Rioters were heard on Capitol Hill chanting “hang Mike Pence” over his refusal to unilaterally subvert the election results. ]
