About that December 21st meeting

In today's 7th hearing at the January 6 Committee's investigation, a meeting was brought up that saw Republican Congresspeople getting together to discuss the final push to overturn the 2020 election.
Vice President Mike Pence, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani were all in attendance at the meeting, along with President Donald Trump.

At the meeting, the members discussed election theories pushed by Trump personal lawyer John Eastman, who believed that Pence was able to singlehandedly rejected slates of electors in his role presiding over the joint session.

[White House Counsel Pat] Cipollone tried to attend the meeting himself, but was apparently turned away.
