CNN: 'Comma Placement in Mike Pence Book Draws Attention of Jan. 6 Investigators'

Source:CNN- then Vice President Mike Pence, talking to then President Donald Trump, perhaps in late 2020.

"ABC News reports that in conversations with special counsel Jack Smith's team earlier this year, former Vice President Mike Pence was asked about personal notes he took after meetings with then-President Donald Trump, with one line of questioning dealing with the placement of a comma in a quote from Pence's book. CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig joins "CNN This Morning" to discuss." 

From CNN

Whether then Vice President Mike Pence told then President Donald Trump that either he (meaning Mike Pence) didn't believe that he had the authority as Vice President of the United States to either throw out the 2020 presidential election results and just declare Donald Trump the winner of that election, or that he (meaning Donald Trump) knew that the Vice President of the United States doesn't have that authority, it's clear that the Vice President was simply doing his job and trying to do it the best that he can. And that Donald Trump simply wanted to take an extra legal, as well as an extra constitutional move, to simply rewrite at least part of the U.S. Constitution, to save President Trump from losing the presidency. 

But not only are commas important, but so are trials, as well as witnesses, and testimony. And early next year, Mr. Pence will have the opportunity to clear this up for the American people under oath whether he was saying that he as Vice President, didn't have the authority to just automatically declare Donald Trump the winner of the 2020 presidential election. Or, he was saying that Mr. Trump knew that his Vice President didn't have that authority. Perhaps he was saying that they both knew that the Vice President doesn't have that authority, regardless of what party that they're a member of.
