the secure location where the leaders were hunkering down. that will be tomorrow night on 360. right now, cnn tonight with right now, cnn tonight with jake tapper. captions by vitac www.vitac.com welcome back to cnn tonight. i m jake tapper. knock, knock, knock, donald trump, you ve been served. that s about to happen at mar-a-lago, presumably, after members of the january 6th house select committee voted unanimously and a touch theatrically to subpoena donald trump for testimony and documents. it s all part of their case that trump not only tried to overturn democracy in 2020 with fraud, lies, threats, and violence, but that trump continues to do so. we are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion. and every american is entitled to those answers so we can act now to protect our republic. today s hearing included never-before-seen video of congressional leaders, democrats and republicans who are had been evacuated from the c
place. this is outnumbered, i m harris faulkner here with my cohost kayleigh mcenany, joining us today carley shimkus, martha maccallum, and bill hemmer. it s can it be great. no word from the fbi or the justice department yet since yesterday s early morning raid at mar-a-lago. however, fox news learned it was part of an investigation into the handling of classified presidential records which begin earlier this year after 15 boxes of documents had already been transferred from his florida estate. yesterday the fbi executed a search warrant looking for more material they claim the warmer president took with them after he left the white house in 2021. the raid drew outrage from trump supporter s who quickly gathered outside mar-a-lago. the former president was in new york at the time and issued the statement. these are dark times for our nation. a beautiful home, mar-a-lago, and palm beach, florida, is currently rated and occupied by a large group of fbi agents. none of that

according to committee vice chair liz cheney, that s just a fraction of the evidence they have related to possible witness intimidation. this morning the new york times reports that trump s political organization and his allies paid for or promised to cover the legal fees of more than a dozen witnesses called to testify in the january 6th investigation. it does raise for some ethical and legal questions about the possibility of witnesses being pressured and the possibility of trump trying to influence testimony that has a direct bearing on him. joining us now is john wood, he was until last week a senior investigator for the january 6th committee, he was a u.s. attorney during the george w. bush administration, he also clerked for justice clarence thomas and he s now running as an independent candidate for the senate in missouri. thank you so much for being with us, counselor. when you were with the committee, what was your knowledge of how the attorneys for some of these
we went to memphis to find out and only the show but first things first we begin with the out-of-control department of justice. it is about the raid but in reality it shi not just relegated to this week but it is common with the trump camp and the group targeting the 45 squad the same agency that the biden clinton obama and policy slide by. target number one was donald trump empty home that mar-a-lago. thirty agents to send helicopters and boats an unprecedented move to boston to continue their investigation into the records he allegedly took with him to his private residence when he left office. but the rate is not the first of its kind. it is just the latest and as the feds try to rip apart to heavy-handed raids against trump associates without any clear necessity so let s review paul manafort home in virginia rated by one dozen agents for ten whole hours to see some documents. they were on fbi agents entering the condo without warning at 6:00 a.m. they tried to break h
