very compelling. i think the outtakes of what donald trump refused to say was very powerful information. so their job is different from that of a prosecutor. no doubt they want this to be part of the calculus when the elections come around and they want people to keep talking about this. liz cheney talking about ginny thomas. that i m sure was very strategic to get people talking about that. betsy, pick up on that. we got a couple of things to hit while i have this panel with me. and that is now this information from liz cheney talking about a possible subpoena of the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas. i talked to zoe loftgren.
country. chip roy was the chief of staff to ted cruz. ted cruz became most favorite of his role in a government shutdown in 2013 as part of the implementation of afford kabul care act. mike lee is the member of the senate judiciary, who talks a lot about constitutional issues and defending rule of law and the traditional approach to governance. that school of thought, that basket of rhetoric was essentially tossed totally out the window when the republican party became the party of trump. it s not the way you hear trump talk about politics. it s not the way you hear him talk about lawmaking. there was a huge shift, no longer the party of lee, roy and cruz, but the party of trump now. betsy woodruff swann, thank
the supporters to storm the capitol on january 6th. the select committee is expected to begin closing the question now is, whether to call trump, but how to actually call him to testify. joining me is a nationality correspondent for politico. betsy, thank you so much. i m so excited to have you on to close the show. you ve such an expert on this. i want to talk about something i found curious. we have these two members basically voting to certify the election, we saw that they actually had a hand in pushing the big lie, yet when it was up to them, up close and personal, they decided not to impeach donald trump for the attempted coup that they signaled. can you talk a bit about that? one thing these text messages, which neither dispute, signal they had both of their
these four new subpoena targets. garrett, very quickly, what s the next thing you re watching for from the january 6th committee? whether they decide to escalate this fight and go beyond subpoenas and try to pursue some other method, contempt of congress, perhaps to go after these attorneys who have made it pretty clear they want to use attorney/client privilege not to talk. garrett haake, betsy woodruff swann, thank you very much to the both of you. after the break, we re talking more about the other setback for former president trump today, how his company is responding to a literally 11th hour bombshell from the new york attorney general and where her investigation goes now. and in a few minutes, we re kicking off special coverage of president biden s news conference, with our team covering every angle one year into the biden presidency. covering every angle one year covering every angle one year into the biden presidency. car , so you only pay for what you need. wooo, yea
release of any documents. the court hasn t decided whether to take the case. and overnight, of course, we know the committee issuing subpoenas for more allies of the former president, lawyers who the committee says, quote, publicly promoted unsupported claims about the 2020 election, and participated in attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of election results. aka, they lied and pushed it. i want to bring in garrett haake and politico national correspondent and msnbc contributor, betsy woodruff swann. garrett, to you. it is 3:11 eastern time, based on my clock. there is a deadline less than three hours from now for these documents to be hand over. walk us through the process here. what do we know about the documents that the committee is set to get their hands on, and when will we know they ve actually gotten them. we know almost nothing about these documents. don t feel bad. neither does the committee. this could have been the white house lunch menu from the 6th for all we
