decision, news of that broke and the u.s. and all around the world. we ve seen thousands of demonstrators pass through this area outside the supreme court today. you know, when we were here first earlier this morning, there were groups from both sides of this debate and anti abortion activists were here celebrating as we reached into the evening, it was pretty much exclusively hundreds, possibly thousands of proabortion choice activists. the crowd really has dwindled out now. speakers just finished talking but say come back tomorrow. they want people back here tomorrow. what we did see here today, don, is a huge security presence across washington d.c. i will say that it was very, very different to the security presence we saw in washington d.c. on the morning of january 6th. there was police all over the city. some demonstrators also this evening marched from s.c.o.t.u.s. through washington and came back. so we are likely to see more demonstrations in the coming days. people
everyone. i am ayman mohyeldin in for stephanie ruhle. there was an unexpected twist today, the january six committee switching up its playbook, suddenly adding a new surprise hearing for tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm eastern. so, the public can hear from a secret witness. just last week, the panel said remaining public hearings would actually be pushed into july. but late this afternoon, the committee said this new hearing will focus on quote, recently obtained evidence and received witness testimony. who and what we ll hear tomorrow, remains a mystery at this hour. but the short notice of this unexpected hearing has speculation running wild. we also learned today the justice department has been focusing on john eastman. he is, of course, the trump allied lawyer who has become a central figure in the january six committee s investigation. in a court filing, eastman says that a federal agent executed a search warrant, and seized his iphone in new mexico last week. witness testim
outfront tonight, new evidence, january 6th committee abruptly scheduling a hearing for tomorrow. last week, said no additional hearings until next month and then suddenly a hearing scheduled for tomorrow as the committee released only a brief statement, including quote, recently obtained evidence and witness testimony. this is a very sudden reversal for the committee and it comes at an important context. we just learned federal agents seized the phone of trump s election attorney, john eastman, man who presented trump a road map for overturning the election. someone who was right there, front and center, in trump s ear in the days and weeks ahead of the deadly insurrection. and someone who was working the phones for trump. so his phone is now seized. here s just some of the testimony we ve heard so far about the importance of john eastman. and what it, dr. eastman want you to do? that we would in fact vote, take a vote, to overthrow, or i shouldn t say overthrow that w
oh, my god. bipartisan action on the issues of guns. congress passing that bill exactly one month to the day of that horrific massacre that occurred in uvalde, texas. this bill doesn t do everything i want. it does include action that is will save lives. the pride parade in oslo canceled after a shooting near a gay bar killed at least two people and hurt eight others. i m pamela brown in washington. you are in the cnn newsroom. angst and euphoria as a divided nation reacts to the supreme court s most life-changing ruling in decades. today protests have spilled across the country including outside the supreme court. one day after five justices overturned the landmark roe v. wade decision after nearly 50 years. american women no longer have a constitutional right to an abortion and 26 states are expected to enact laws banning abortion. for opponents of abortion rights and many conservatives it is a breathtaking victory decades in the making and seemed completely out
roe v. wade according to our res shannon bream is that roe v. wade has been overturned and the question of abortion has been returned to the states. tucker: pandemonium ensued immediately in the headline of the babylon become democrats paused january 6th hearing to pause for insurrection and that is basically true but from a legal perspective, which is what matters, there is nothing surprising about today s decision. it s only a matter of time before roe v. wade was overturned. that s been obvious for decades. even democrats once acknowledged. roe was one of those decisions you never heard anyone defend on its own terms. lots of people want legal abortion but no one has ever explained how exactly the constitution guarantees that. roe was a political document, not a legal opinion and that its existence undermined the legitimacy of the supreme court. it was poison. the purpose of the supreme court a simple, it is to determine whether the laws the politicians pass are consiste
