trump had significant policy successes, but mr. pence has received too little credit for his policy and personal advice. his conservative network and instincts helped to avoid more than one trumpian self-implosion. he was loyal to trump, and the president repaid him by pressuring him publicly and privately to commit an unconstitutional act. we will end it there. so it is very interesting, if you look, jonathan lemire, at the arc of mike pence's service. here is a guy who actually before he was selected as donald trump's vice president was very critical of him in private conversations. then he became a loyalist, even moving water in the same direction where mr. trump would move water at meetings. but last week actually, to me at least, that was quite a break, quite a difference from how he and the rest of the party have been acting, and it wasn't lost on me or i'm sure you that he did it at the federalist society. >> no, it was not. the federalist society, of course, one of the groups responsible for some of what republicans would say don

mr. kellogg, mike pence's very senior counselor who said ivanka went to him a few times and he wouldn't listenbe a narrow basis. >> sure, yeah. so we've had a couple of updates with two key witnesses. both ivanka trump and rudy giuliani. first, with miss trump, the main reason the committee wants to talk to her is the offense of january 6th. she was sent in once if not two times to speak with her father as the mob is rampaging through the capitol and to try to get him to call off the attack, to issue a statement to call off the mob of his supporters who are beating police. she is unsuccessful, at least the first time. eventually after time goes on, there is a statement from donald trump, not a very helpful statement, even makes another one after that. they want to hear exactly what ivanka and donald trump talked about. so right now, the latest we've heard from people close to her is that she is in talks to voluntarily cooperate. there's not an agreement on when she'll come in, on the term of that testimony, but it is a matter of discussing her. >> and you mentioned developments on the rudy giu
