though other countries, germany, peru act decisively and quickly to quash attempted coups, arrest the ringleaders who aim to overturn democracies. their own ex president as yet to face any charges. joining me now is a member of the january six committee, congressman adam schiff, democrat from california and the chairman of the intelligence committee. congressman, it s good to have you on. i want to start to see if you can confer some news. cnn reports that the committee has referrals for four individuals besides the ex president. those include white house chief of staff mark meadows, john eastman, justice department official jeffrey clark and former trump lawyer, rudy giuliani. can you confirm that? what i can say chris, is our process, we look at the evidence and one individuals, we believe that there is evidence to support potential referrals. we looked at each of the elements that matched up with the evidence. we re not ready to announce yet, but i think we will without
professional reputation. i also to say as someone who has, harry, skated remarkably close to the line of overall criminal conduct over the years, not that there has not been criminal conduct. there is good evidence there has been. but prosecutable over cases, what he has done with documents here is just a deranged. the constant lying, the constant ignoring lawyers, not giving it over, mine, mine, mine. up to possible contempt of court, possibly getting an indictment over it, this is just illogical extreme at the entire trajectory of this whole story. that s it, it s the ranged but as this sort of exquisite quality about donald trump, because what s happening is that even the small thing has fault lines that all go to what donald trump dishonesty. everywhere you look, that infects things, even through the simple act. i want to stress, this happens
