it is so important to control the senate is so important. we re gonna have senator maggie hassan on. she is running against a very strange republican repugnant in new hampshire. katie hobbs will join us. the candidate for governor in arizona, where it s possible, if she doesn t win, arizona might never again have a fair election. the republican candidate for governor, for secretary of state, for attorney general, all say donald trump won the last presidential election. i think it s important to underscore that these in many cases women are the last frontier between the country and a precipice of election denialism. these are not just republican candidates. don bold, i carry lake, these people are a new strain of conservative, and it gives conservativism a bad name, but this is really, they are the gatekeepers between democracy and chaos in a lot of respects, so paying attention to these candidates and listening to what the democrats have to say about the races is critical,
candidates. don bolduc, kari lake, these people are a new strain of conservative, and it gives conservativism a bad name, but this is really, they are the gatekeepers between democracy and chaos in a lot of respects, so paying attention to these candidates and listening to what the democrats have to say about the races is critical, with just 27 days to go. we really have to have as many candidates on as we can. can t wait to see it. thanks alex. i want to begin tonight with a pledge to you, the audience of this program, this is a serious pledge, that i will fully present and analyze any evidence that emerges to indicate that donald j trump might not be guilty of obstruction of justice and violating the espionage act. but so far, no such evidence has emerged in any way. donald trump s lawyers have offered no hint of a defense to the potential criminal charges of violating the espionage act. and in the breaking news of the night, the evidence has taken a turn that could b
evidence that he was even asked, the trump was even asked, to give his documents back. he was cooperating with him on this issue for months now. so i take it to the extreme extent? i think that s why you re seeing so much backlash from republicans, and seeing everyone coalesce. it doesn t matter what side of the issue they are on with trump. i have seen a lot coalesce around this. because it does seem unjust. this all comes as the new nbc eufaula today says a 57% of americans believe the investigations into trump should continue. at this breaking news this hour, republican senator lindsey graham s granulators to money on election interference. that is now in question. a federal appeals court, today, in fact just a short while ago, temporarily blocked testifying in georgia. setting the case now back to the district court ought to determine if that subpoena should be partially quashed or modified. no reaction today from the january six committee, days after mike pence says th
donald trump made during the violence of january 6th ever be trusted with any position of authority in our great nation again? that was congresswoman liz cheney with a question, an extraordinary question, closing this round of hearings from the january 6th committee. it was a question, but it also seems to be the main argument from the committee as they presented new evidence of what they called donald trump s dereliction of duty during the insurrection. i m john berman, brianna is off, chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is here. and what a remarkable night that was. i mean, going through that hearing, all of these have had a little bit of new information, but last night i think they really tried to get behind the scenes, which is what we have been trying to do as reporters since that day of what was going on. the confirmations of things that had been reported by terrific reporters like you, but also new elements, new audio, new video that in some cases i d
people were genuinely freaked out inside the west wing. people who are now downplaying the hearings, they were freaked out that day because of what the committee laid out last night. nothing that he saw changed trump s perspective of what happened. they were shocked when they heard that, shocked it exists, that the recordings of it existed, and it was just some of the compelling testimony we heard last night. and in some cases laid out some new details. also words from the former president himself, including he said, mike pence let me down. those were the last five words that an aide heard trump say that day, before he left the west wing to go to the residence for the night. nothing about the attack, according to the committee, just his grievances with mike pence. here is a review of some of the hearing s most notable moments. the president wanted to lead 10,000 people to the capitol. i think that was enough grounds for us to are you aware of any phone call by the p
