a little bit more accessible than when you are talking outside of the blades of helicopter of marine one. bill: president is likely to face pointed questions about those files when and where they were found as well as numerous questions about the first set of secret documents found in the closet of an office he used after his time as vice president. karl rove last hour said biden needs the to clear up this mess as quickly as possible. why won t the president look at the documents? he is the ultimate guy in charge of classification and yet he says my lawyers tell me don t look at the documents. maybe you ought to look at the documents so you can help understand what it s all about. dana: david spunt live at the justice department. hi, david. hi. those same attorneys are still looking for more documents at multiple different sites to make sure they have all of them. after we reported yesterday that they did find a second site of documents, classified documents. we ve pr
actually transpired on january 6th. today, we got the first look at the document titled, 1776 returns, when the lawyer for the philadelphia president of the proud boys included it in a federal court filing. we heard mention of this document in previous indictments against members of the proud boys, some of whom were charged with seditious conspiracy last week. prosecutors revealed that an individual, whose identity is known to the grand jury, sent this blueprint to proud boys leader enrique tarrio on december 30th, 2020. one way to think about the attempted coup and i think the way that the committee is discussing it, and the way we discuss it on this program is sort of broadly two different efforts that merged on january 6th. there was trump and his circle of people around him, who were pro-coup, attempting to overthrow the rightfully elected president, joe biden, to keep donald trump in power. they were trying to use every government mechanism they had at their disposal
bring out pence! bring him out! bring out pence! bring mike pence! bring mike pence! [ chanting ] much of today s testimony centered around john eastman, an attorney whose theory that the vice president had the authority to nullify the election outcome so laughable that donald trump s own aides, allies and closest advisers described dismissing it outright. here s that evidence. made clear with mr. meadows about you and the vice president having a different view about the authority on january 6. i believe i did. did he explit sy or tacetly agree with you or say that makes sense or okay? i believe that that mark did agree. what makes you say that? i believe that s what he told me. but as i mentioned i think mark told so many people so many different things that it was not something that i would necessarily accept. that s okay why that s resolved. i see. tell me what he told you on this topic. you know the vice president doesn t have a broader role.

growing cancer on our nation. right wing extremists now targeting the lbgtq community, and not just in idaho where 31 of them were unpacked from a u-haul and arrested, and the first polls are close right now in a south carolina primary as trump seeks revenge against two incumbent republicans. steve kornacki will join us from the big board. and first one of the big misconceptions from the trump presidency, that there were no adults in the room. that s not true. there were plenty of adults and couldn t contain him and didn t want to. the so-called adults are sharing what they really feel about trump s pursuit for power. we re talking about trump s closest allies, his own people narrating the case against him, star witnesses that included none other than attorney general william barr, a man who spent years defending and serving trump, not the american people, but who via video testimony had this to say about the president slize. bogus stuff and based on misinformation, idiot
