can t be made enough. chief aide to mark meadows. exactly, to mark meadows, is that she overheard trump in the tent at the site of the rally, the quote/unquote stop the steal rally january 6th, saying that he didn t specific quote, i don t f ing care they have weapons. they re not here to hurt me. talking about all of the individuals in the crowd who had weapons and we heard testimony today that cassidy hutchinson had been told by secret service and others that those weapons included ar-15s and knives, et cetera. does that establish criminal intent? is that a smoking gun? you have identified a central moment because it s at that moment that we realized and we were able to show that donald trump knew that there were members of the crowd who were violent. armed, certainly. and who were refusing to lay down their arms to come in, which is why they weren t going through the metal detectors. he was saying he wanted the crowd all together. he said forget the mags. get rid o
that would pick the secretary of state who oversees elections. there s a very real threat if elected that he would use the power of his office to ensure that the next republican candidate for president receives the state s 19 electoral college votes in 2024 no matter how pennsylvania voters actually vote. mastriano is far from he alone in threatening our democracy. in georgia voters will decide if another election denier gets on the election ballot, former senator david perdue. he has said that the election was rigged. the man he s running against, brian kemp, earned trump s wrath by refusing to overturn the 2020 election in the state. georgia was the center of trump s attempt to steal the election in 2020. he s still under investigation over whether he broke state law with his mafioso style bullying who demanded the exact number of votes he would need to win the state s 16 electoral votes. so, look, all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one m
do you see, in the evidence that the committee built, enough evidence it least preliminary evidence, and maybe fani willis has more, to connect those dots and prove the conspiracy? absolutely, look, we were already there at the end of the select committee investigation, sufficient to make those criminal referrals. i think as you said john, the dea and special counsel have gone a bit beyond where the committee was able to go, they have gotten information from some additional people and gotten some of the same people that we interviewed to provide to some additional interview because they have over come privilege objections that were merit loose. so absolutely the jobs connected. i remember vice chair cheney s opening statement in our very first summer hearing, where she laid out exactly, very similar to what fani willis has laid out and jack smith has laid out, a multi part, intentional plan to disrupt the joint session and prevent transfer of power. it is the same story that she told
described here is conduct of donald trump while he is president at the united states. you see in this indictment things that this investigation was able to achieve what the january six committee could not. for example, mike pence s testimony. what else do you see, tim heaphy, knowing that you ve been in command at this evidence longer than any of us? yeah, lawrence, thank you for the invitation. as i read the indictment, it sounded really familiar. it sounded pretty much like the aged 45-page that we issued. it sounded very similar to vice chair cheney s opening statement in our first hearing in the spring of 2022, where she laid out a multi part intentional plan to prevent the certification at the election and to thwart democracy. there is not a lot of new information, this is a compelling story, and i will leave it to neal and others to
truncated version of our report. it actually reads very similar to vice chair cheney s opening statement in the first of our summer hearings. it was during that period of the first proceeding where she laid out that there is a multi part, intentional plan to disrupt the joint session and prevent the transfer of power and put pressure on state officials, at the department of justice, on the vice president, and ultimately at the capitol. that is exactly what his alleged in this indictment. there is not a lot of new information, other than some details about direct communications between the president and the vice president. the president and pat cipollone, is so the counsel has gotten additional corroborates information that provides some important context, about the president stage of mine. but the core conduct that is described is what we set forth in our report. i know you refer to pence, i know you didn t have a chance to interview him, so there is
