However, Jacob said that Eastman acknowledged in front of the president two days before the riots of parliament that this was illegal.
Nevertheless, when the police later treated riots and recaptured Congress's control, Estman still sent an email to Jacob, "the last time begging" Pence rejected the voting result.
