good evening to you ryan. once again. what do you learning about these top-end states testifying before the grand jury? don, i was good to be with you, this is a significant development. in terms of the department of justice s investigation into donald trump s election interference and how that led to what happened here on january 6th. both jacobs and marc short were really kind of the first big win this is that the january 6th flight committee were able to cooperate that right inside that war room of the white house, the west wing, the oval office, on the days leading up to january 6th. but their testimony revealed to the committee at that time with the intense pressure campaign that was put on by president mike pence is period of time. and the steps that pence did to resist that. it also really shed a light on things like the fake elector plot that was going on around the country. these are all things we didn t previously know until the committee was able to really crack
