and exactly how far would they go to keep covering up for donald trump? plus, the big backfire. yet another embarrassment for putin as his invasion into ukraine sparks one of the biggest expansions in nato s history. what this could mean for the future of putin s war. a frenzy for parents across the united states. panic buying and product recalls are not the only thing stifling america s baby formula supply. we will look into how the trade policies are intensifying the crisis. all of this and much more is coming up now. good saturday morning to you. i am katie fang. i want to take you back to january 6th of 2020. these are the images that have been seared into the minds of every american who watched along as democracy came under attack in the united states of america. while rioters descended on our nation s capital, these five members of congress were allegedly receiving firsthand information about what caused the violence and the chaos just outside the office doors. th
along as democracy came under attack in the united states of america. while rioters descended on our nation s capital, these five members of congress were allegedly receiving firsthand information about what caused the violence and the chaos just outside the office doors. that is what s members of the january 6th committee think. we take the unprecedented step of issuing subpoenas to their own republican colleagues. kevin mccarthy and representatives jim jordan, andy biggs, mo brooks, scott perry, and what they decide to do next will be telling. based on the reaction so far, compliance sounds far from certain. i think this is an illegitimate committee. they do not really have the authority to issue subpoenas, in my opinion. we do not want to dignify what they are doing. does this mean that you will not comply with the subpoena? i have not even seen subpoena. i cannot tell you whether i

seems unlikely they will comply. this leaves the committee with a few options. they could refer this to the house ethics committee. this is a committee that is evenly divided between republicans and democrats. it is likely to take a very long time to go through that if going anywhere at all. the second option they have, as you mentioned at the top, is to refer and recommend the criminal referrals to the justice department. this is something that has been done, as you said, for former members of his inner circle like mark meadows, and the justice department has been slow to walk on all of those. it is highly unlikely that the justice department will expedite criminal referrals for sitting elected lawmakers. the potential issue with that is it would be unprecedented, as you mentioned. it has never happened before. they ve never subpoenaed city lawmakers. in recent history, that we can think of, it has not happened from a house committee in
