Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, offers a preview of the upcoming hearings before the Jan. 6 committee.

"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted November 7, 1954, on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.

Former Federal Prosecutor Glenn Kirschner tells us the Jan 6 committee has enlisted Tim Heaphy from the DC US Attorney’s Office, a skilled prosecutor who specializes in RICO cases, to expose Trump's crimes.

We have long known that Donald Trump, together with one of his corrupt attorneys John Eastman, were pressuring former Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify Joe Biden's election win on January 6, ruching him to put the wheels in motion for Trump to be installed for a second presidential term contrary to the will of the American voters.

Based on some new reporting by Politico, we now know that Mike Pence's top lawyer, Greg Jacob, had authored a memo setting out how Pence would violate the law, specifically the Electoral Count Act, if he gave in to Trump's pressure and threats, and refused to perform his constitutional duty on Jan. 6 while presiding over the count of the electoral votes.

Jacob is scheduled to appear and testify in the January 6 select committee public hearings in the coming days.

This video discusses why Mike Pence may have abided by the law on Jan. 6, but he is far from a hero.
