Watch the video on the politifact page.

It was easy to foresee the intent of Trump's play...to disrupt/prevent certification.

There is some reason to think there was a plot to assassinate Pence, since he wasn't 'coming through.' He could then be replaced with an even more reliable person. One of the offspring, perhaps.

I think that's a real stretch, since the Senate would have to confirm a new VP and might well take Pence's assassination amiss. On the other hand, who knows what logic festers in Trump's head?
