valuable forest land. sunday s scene fiery and dangerous riders doused construction equipment in alcohol and set it on fire and also threw bricks, molotov cocktails and fireworks at cops. police say those arrested used a peaceful demonstration during a music festty call at the site as cover for the violence that followed. in america we re you a loaded to peacefully demonstrate. this was not a peaceful demonstration. this was a coordinated attack. this was an insurrection. i hope that the courts will deal harshly with these domestic terrorists. julie: here are the 20 people, most of them young and most not even from georgia. all but two of them, in fact, from out of state. tennessee, new york, massachusetts, even as far as canada and france. charles watson has more from atlanta for us. hey, charles. good morning, julie. we expect most if not all of the protestors charged with domestic terrorism for their alleged roles in that attack on police to make first appearances in

conspiracy theory that an italian defense contractor uploaded software to a satellite that switched votes from trump to biden. members of congress angling for pardons. the only reason i know to ask for a pardon is because you think you ve committed a crime. and brand-new tonight, my interview with alex holder, the documentary filmmaker who testified to the committee behind closed doors this morning and turned over hours of his footage. you re going to hear him tell me that the committee was especially interested in inconsistencies between what ivanka trump told them and what she told him. but minutes before air time, we received this raw footage, an outtake from the documentary now seen for the first time on cnn. i want you to listen closely because this is the footage and the content that alex holder tells me the committee questioned him about. i think that as the president has said, every single vote needs to be counted and needs to be heard, and he campaigned for t
