statements or about holding a press conference. the justice department declined all of those requests that i was just referencing because we did not think that they were appropriate based on the facts and the law. repeated attempts to over turn the election. much of yesterday hearing focused on jeffrey clark who played a central role in pushing trump s false election frauds and who trump wanted to install as the acting attorney general. just hours before yesterday s hearing, federal agents raided clark s home. we ll have much more on what led them to do that. our panel of experts join us as we cover the angles. the sarah, the select committee bringing into focus doj official jeffrey clark s role. significant role in the former president s scheme. yes, absolutely. rolling out how former president trump wanted to just set aside jeff rosen and steal jeffrey clark as the acting attorney general. look, the witnesses are in person and in their video testimony were not holding
