out for a little while. i didn t see anything but i kind of could feel what was going on. someone pulled me over a fence and i was sat in a chair and then i passed out again and when i woke up, i was in a different area in a chair with a water bottle in my lap. the individuals that i talked to were counting their blessings today after they learned that eight people had died and now we ve learned that the ages of those individuals between the ages of 14 and 27. pamela. rosa flores, thank you so much. for bringing us the latest there. and coming up, tonight, a major test of the biden presidency in a much needed victory. democrats finally agree on a massive infrastructure spending deal. also ahead tonight, cnn exclusive report, confusion, frustration, and terrible timing. we re going to tell you what was going on behind the scenes right
allies. i suspect you re right. you know, david, this damning senate judiciary report, meanwhile, is shedding new light on the trump pressure campaign on the justice department. back on january 3rd, then president trump said to the acting attorney general, jeffrey rosen and i m quoting from this new report just released one thing we know is you, rosen, aren t going to do anything to overturn the election. how disturbing, david, is it to see that in black and white? i mean, i can t think of things that are more disturbing than seeing a sitting president of the united states trying to convince a justice department official to do something illegal, overturn an election that was legitimately held and for his own personal benefit. i mean, things don t get more disturbing in american democracy than a scene like that. and listening to chuck grassley in sara s piece where he has this logic or illogic of saying,

that we put out today are about, which is the rally at the capitol on january 6th itself, and so we want to get to the truth and ultimately that s our focus is to produce a report that does just that. yeah, these new subpoenas that were just issued for organizers of the january 6th rally include one who says he coordinated with republican members of congress. how critical is this area of your investigation? actually trying to figure out the planning behind that day. well, i think people can see the evolution of this investigation, so 11 subpoenas for the ellipse, for the rally at the ellipse. that was done last week, now these three subpoenas for the rally that was closer to the capitol complex. clearly these are tied together, and that individual that you mentioned, ali alexander, public reporting indicated he was working with three of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. it s deeply, deeply disturbing but we have a responsibility to
