team for more information on the grounds they should have been able to call members of the select committee as witnesses. no decision on that. we ve been watching it. if you ve been reading the signs, the tea leaves over the last 24 hours, they ve been pointing to this man, former president trump. nbc news reporting the investigation into january 6th now includes an inquiry into the actions of former president donald trump. i want to bring in keith williams, ali vitt lalty, ms nbc news analyst andrew wiseman. let s talk about the nuance here. yes, the confirmation from an official that they are questioning, the prosecutors are questioning witnesses in front of a grand jury about donald trump. it certainly does not mean, based on your reporting that there is a criminal investigation open. that s important. well, yeah. i think the best way to think about this, and this is based on what several officials have said about the reporting that was first in the washington post,
tour comment over, you know, what some grand jury may be looking at. i don t see anything to prosecute over. reporter: and hallie, senator graham s comments perhaps unsurprising especially given the fact in just the last 24 hours he gave a full-throated endorsement to trump running again in 2024. and, look, there is the complication, perhaps, that the former president could run again and become an active political candidate. but just as the january 6th committee has said that shouldn t be the deciding factor, that no one is above the law. that is the thing that we continue to hear echoed here, even from people on trump s own side of the aisle. ali, thank you for that. peter, you re standing by. andrew, let me go to you as it relates to the reporting. help us understand the subtleties of this. yeah. so, it does seem like a lot of word salad. because you seem to have questioning of trump, and yet, they re pushing back, doj seems
thank you. ali, let me go to you, i want to know about the reaction especially with democrats here. well democrats and republican alike believe this would be a big home hit if they were actually investigating the former president but what all the senators that we spoke to today seem to have in common that they know they re onlookers as well. that this is a decision that rests solely with the attorney general and department of justice. hallie, you have investigators saying they should move forward and that trump should be held accountable if that s what doj says. but then interesting comments from republicans too, listen. i think anybody in the united states would expect the justice department, whether it s the highest person in the country or the lowest person in the country, to do equal justice. i hope that the attorney general will apply the law in a fair and even-handed matter. that s just ridiculous for me
why you re getting this, you know, is it trump or is it trump s actions. andrew, stand by. i want to share a bit of breaking news that overplay it. but i think it s worth noting here. the federal investigators, nbc news has learned, have obtained a search war the cell phone of john eastman, widely considered to be the architect of this plot to steal the election. the phone was apparently seized on july 12th, according to a new court filing and right now the inspector general at the doj has that phone. it was taken initially on the 22nd but investigators were not actually able to get the contents until they got the second search warrant. ali, let me go to you, it speaks to what you and andrew spoke about the very piece investigation and the doj collecting evidence there. reporter: exactly, the fact that they re doing this in realtime, we knew they were
