Advisers to former President Donald Trump drafted two versions of executive orders to seize voting machines in the aftermath of the 2020 election, multiple sources tell CNN. 

The orders tasked the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security to seize machines in states that Trump lost as part of a broader effort to undermine the presidential election results. 

It is unclear who drafted the executive orders, and neither was issued. 

At least one of the orders has been handed over by the National Archives to the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection. 

The committee is also reviewing some Trump White House documents that had to be taped back together because they had been ripped up, the agency said. 

Separately, former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff quietly testified before the committee last week in response to a subpoena, a significant sign that Pence's team is cooperating with the probe.
