pressuring mike pence. she is a first-hand witness to trump trying to get pence to overturn the election. all right. so, jamie, please stay with me. i want to bring in dana bash, our chief political correspondent and co-anchor of state of the state the union along with elie horn ig former district attorney for the southern district of new york. we know that ivanka and her husband jared have always played a coy game. they want credit with being the closest advisers to the president, they want to be the one to benefit in every way that entails but then distance themselves when things are uncomfortable. they are the normal ones. the truth holds nobody knows more than ivanka trump does about donald trump s thoughts, feelings, intentions, his mind that day and after. that is exactly right. and as jamie was just reporting,
dynamic. doesn t say anything about whether ivanka trump will actually come because we have to emphasize she was asked to come voluntarily. but i just want to add one other note. we have reported months ago about the disconnect, intentional disconnect by jared and ivanka kushner in order to distance themselves from him politically. you talked about the normalcy, trying to be normal. i am told that is still the case. they re still family. they still spend time together. but on politics they are trying to stay away still one year later. right. i know trying to, you know, build business relationships with people certainly in the middle east. money involved for them as well. elie, in the letter, i want to hone in this part about the phone call between the president, vice president, that ivanka trump was there for. the committee writes, quote, testimony obtained by the select committee indicates that members of the white house staff requested your assistance on multiple occasions to inter
executives or the company itself. it took five days. house g.o.p. leaders condemning marjorie taylor greene for comparing rules requiring that masks be worn in congress to the holocaust. and tonight growing calls from heavy hitters like dr. fauci to investigate the origins of the coronavirus to determine if it occurred naturally or if it leaked out of a laboratory in china. i want to bring in cnn s legal analysts, carrie cordero and elie horn ig. good so see you. elie, starting with you, the manhattan d.a. is convening this grand jury according to the post. what does this tell you about his investigation into trump and his company? has he found evidence of a crime? i think the short answer is yes, don, some evidence. this is obviously significant. this is important. if donald trump is to be indicted, and that s far from certain at this point, but if he is, these are the everyday women
