as a law enforcement officer, i would find myself in the middle of a battle. that s capitol police officer sharing her harrowing experiences with the insurrectionists on january 6th, as she testified in the first hearing into the attack on the united states capitol. good morning. and welcome to way too early. on this friday, june 10th. i m jonathan lemire. thanks for being with us. the committee investigating the january 6th attack began laying out its case in vivid detail last night. it was searing, powerful, at times hard to watch. but very necessary to do so. offering never before seen video and new evidence that investigators say shows donald trump and his advisers new that he lost the election fair and square, and yet still sought to overturn the will of the american people. committee vice chair liz cheney also presented evidence of how trump s actions led to the planning of what happened that day, that the white house knew in the days leading up to the attack that t
