January 6, 2021: Congress meets in joint session for the vice president to formally read the certification of electors from each of the states and announce the winner. Vice President Mike Pence announces that he has refused President Trump’s insistence that he void the official electoral results and recognize substitute electors that will give the election to him. Before Congress assembles, a massive mob of Trump supporters gather for a rally at the Capitol and in front of the White House, arranged by Trump and groups supporting him. Trump, his son Don Jr. and his attorney Rudy Giuliani exhort the crowd to march on Congress and demand that the election results be nullified because votes were stolen from him. As the ceremony in the House begins, Trump supporters in each house question the electoral votes from states, which required a two-hour debate in each house. As those debates were beginning, the mob from the Trump rally overpowers the police, breaks into the Capitol. Members of both houses were herded out of the Capitol or into hiding while the mob raged through the building looking for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Pence and others who had thwarted Trump. A political affiliate of the Republican Attorneys General Association and funded by the Association — the Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF) — was a sponsor of the rally and sent appeals across the country for people to come to Washington to support the president’s efforts to set aside the election and return him to office. The president of the Association insisted that he knew nothing about the subordinate organization’s sponsorship of the Trump rally and that the staff did it all without checking with the officers. Rutledge, a member of the Association’s Executive Committee, was asked about her role in the RLDF’s efforts.
