stolen, and a live stream captured the crime going down. welcome to the lead. i m kasie hunt in for jake tapper. we start with our politics lead and the january 6th committee releasing new evidence in its case against donald trump as it narrows its focus for the coming weeks. on the agenda, trying to compel testimony from ginni thomas, a conservative activist and wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas, over her role in advocating to overturn the 2020 election. committee vice chair congresswoman liz cheney telling cnn they will consider a subpoena if thomas doesn t cooperate. we certainly hope that she will agree to come in voluntarily, but the committee is fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena if she does not. committee is also pushing to get more documents from the u.s. secret service and answers about the agency s potentially missing text messages from on and around january 6th. one of the committee members, congresswoman elaine luria, released previously
we are back with our tech lead. and a cnn exclusive. the fbi is increasingly alarmed about a chinese company s ability to intercept sensitive military information here in the united states, including nuclear arsenal communications. cnn s katie beau broke the story. one fbi official said the concern level over the chinese made equipment on top of u.s. cell towers is in the bfd category, we ll let our viewers translate what it means. lay it out for us. this all started with this big fbi counterintelligence investigation that dates back to at least the obama administration. it was ultimately briefed after the trump white house in 2018. the fbi knew the small rural telecommunications carriers in the midwest were using huawei equipment on top of their towers in places like colorado and nebraska where there s a lot of sensitive u.s. military installations, including nuclear missile silos. wow. companies say they were using this equipment because it s
