In a recent post raising questions about the constitutional views that former federal judge J. Michael Luttig has expressed over the last three years, I said that Luttig had “helped to persuade Mike Pence that, as vice president, he could not interfere with the count of electoral votes after the 2020 presidential election.” That’s the way it has been reported, but it appears to be untrue.
Pence’s counsel, Greg Jacob, says in this webinar that Luttig was not part of the process and never spoke to Pence in the run-up to the events of January 6, 2021. (Start at the 28:00 mark.) Noted for the historical record.
