NEWS: Tuberville speaks to reporters just now and stands by account he gave to @burgessev on Wednesday

"I said Mr President, they've taken the vice president out. They want me to get off the phone, I gotta go ... probably the only guy in the world hung up on pres United States"

Trump's lawyers dismissed it as "hearsay" during the trial today. It's a key point that several Republicans considering conviction asked about and got no answer from Trump's team.

More importantly: If Tuberville's account is true, it means Trump attacked Pence on Twitter about 10 minutes after learning Pence had been evacuated to escape the violent mob. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/11/tuberville-pences-evacuation-trump-impeachment-468572

What's incredible here: if @burgessev didn't ask Tuberville about this on Wednesday (or had Tuberville dodged), the trial may have gone to a verdict without anyone ever knowing what Trump knew.

Imagine what other senators might know about the timeline but haven't revealed.
