She said Pence told her he would not support the use of the 25th Amendment and that his support would be necessary for such an effort to be successful. “I spoke to the vice president and just informed him that I was there to do what he wanted and needed to do or help, and it made it very clear to me that he was not going to go this way or that way.” DeVos told USA Today. “I spoke with colleagues. I wanted to better understand the law itself and see if it was applicable in this case. There were more than a few people who had these conversations internally.” DeVos said it had finally decided that using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office was almost certain it would not be a viable option and resigned later that day. DeVos did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNN. The remarkable admission comes as the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 is set to hold its first public hearing on Thursday, when it will try to argue that Trump was at the center of a conspiracy to overthrow the 2020 election and prevent a transfer. of power to President Joe Biden. Trump’s campaign of pressure on Pence to help overturn the election result and the testimony of his apparent lack of concern for the safety of his then vice president as the violence unfolded on January 6, 2021, emerged as key areas of focus for the detective. In an interview with USA Today, DeVos stopped directly blaming Trump for the violence, but said it could have done more to stop it. “When I saw what was happening on January 6 and I did not see the president intervening and doing what he could do to turn it around or slow it down or really deal with the situation, it was obvious to me that I could go on.” he said in the interview.
