this is don lemon tonight. a firsthand account from the witness who gave dramatic closed-door testimony to the january 6th committee, today. this is the sitting president of the united states, saying this in the white house, that was actually very scary. you have used the words frightening, and scary. you were frightened? those are strong words. of course they were pickups the. in the capitol, revelations on the plot to overturn the election. what the president told the doj. what i am asking you to do is say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the republican congress meant. a not a conspiracy theory about italian satellites had reached the highest levels of the government. the completely baseless conspiracy theory that an italian defense contractor for flitted software to a satellite which switch to 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 have committed a
which cost nearly £40 billion but mps says hasn t had a clear impact . and the fallout from the royal interview continues. the tv presenter piers morgan says he stands by his criticism of meghan markle after he quit his own tv show due to thousands of complaints. we begin in the us, where the house of representatives, the lower house of congress, is expected to pass a major stimulus package. it is worth $1.9 trillion. the plan was approved in the senate on saturday despite every republican voting against. here are the pictures from the house of representatives. it very much locate will pass on party lines. before the vote, there was a debate for several hours. this is what we heard from one democratic congresswoman. this is a historic day. it is the beginning of the end of the great covid depression. it also marks the end of a decades long successful battle by big corporations and the super rich in this country for trickle down economics. the idea that the rich getting ri
about threats that would happen previously, but they are trying to alarm the country about democracy threats for the future. if we are again going to judge this committee on the merits of how this seeps into the public, i think we can try to find places in which maybe democratic candidates would be talking about these a january 6 hearings. i ve been trying to look to see if congressional candidates are incorporating this into their messaging, different from folks in washington. people were running in races that we are not really seeing that yet. we are still seeing them try to focus more on what we will call kitchen table campaign issues. we know that is not a judgment of how what the committee is laying out but i think that is a telltale sign at least to this point it is not as a democratic candidate yet who think this is a motivating piece for their races. that could change, particularly as more evidence comes out. but, right now, we aren t seeing this be a legal
documentary, and they were interested in her entire, sort of piece on that particular point. inconsistencies, perhaps? she says one thing to her father, she says another thing to the committee, and perhaps something different in your documentary, where they focus on possible inconsistencies from ivanka trump? i think so, yes. how so? they wanted to understand exactly when that took place, and how it came about, and, i think quite a few people think there is some sort of inconsistency between what she said to the committee and what she said to me. are there other inconsistencies with either ivanka trump, or other people, that they were interested in? not during that meeting today, no. not today. just ivanka trump? specifically on that point, yes. let s talk about ivanka trump, one of the clips in the document we, at one point you re interviewing the
is what she seems to be getting at which is, i think there was fraud, but she doesn t quite say that. but, under oath, she said, right, she said i believed what bill barr told me. right. so that is a good starting point but that part is clear. i believe there was no voter fraud, i believed bill barr when he said that but the other part that we just saw is very carefully hedged. it is really a bunch of generalities, and clichcs. we see where she is driving but the prosecutor cannot point to a specific line ivanka trump just said and say, right there, inconsistent. if you are the committee or the doj aren t you pleased with the answers she gave under oath, instead of this one, where she was under no obligation to tell the truth, where they are concerned, right? i think where they will land is that they probably liked the answer about bill barr, but her credibility is zero, they will not bank on her for anything. i think the doj would be most satisfied with the
