father doesn t actually use the phone to text message. he may have tried to reach him other ways. but certainly, this is the new narrative now. and even as seemingly every day has more revelations about just how much the white house knew what was happening that day and just how bad things were in the capitol, most reasons don t want to hear it. they want to move on, put their head down, look at next year s midterms. paying no mind to the investigation at capitol hill. some of us haven t seen the season finale, so please no spoiler alerts. jackie, take us inside the committee here for a moment and the thinking on meadows contempt resolution. do you get a sense this committee needs this testimony for their investigation or is this about sending a signal to anyone who might want to try and obstruct their investigation going forward? i, too, have not seen the succession season finale yet, so
extraordinary power, and the courts are loath to second guess congressional motives or duly enacted statutes so he says, case dismissed. obviously, mr. trump s lawyers will appeal this. they have tried everything in their power to try to restrict the publication or the turning over of his tax returns. the only failure they have had so far, before this case, was the tax returns were given to a grand jury in new york, a statewide grand jury that was investigating his the company s finances. so, this is another loss for mr. trump, undoubtedly going to lead to an appeal. all right, pete williams live in d.c. with that breaking news. pete, thank you as always. and we continue to keep an eye on the house floor where members are still debating the contempt resolution against mark meadows. later, they will take up a bill condemning islamaphobic hate. that bill, cosponsored by representative ilhan omar, will be voted on after the mark
