more testimony from the indicted leader of the oath keepers jason rhodes. we begin tonight with trump summoning the mob, a memorable line from liz cheney laid out exactly what happened. president trump assembled the mob and lit the flame of this abeing at all. today s hearing spelled out exactly how the mob was summoned that day and as with most things donald trump can be traced back to a tweet. in this case on december 19, 2020. as the committee showed it s important to note what happened in the frantic final weeks of the trump administration leading up to that tweet. today s hearing filled in those blanks focusing on everything that happened after december 14th, the critical date when the electors meet and the election is finally over. in fact, here s what mitch mcconnell said the very next morning. yesterday electors met in all 50 states, so as of this morning our country has officially a president-elect and a vice president-elect. many millions of us had hoped the pre

guy, jeff clarke. the january 6th committee turns its spotlight on jeffrey clarke, the critical figure in trump s corrupt plot to put the parameter on his fake elector scheme. also tonight, trump is not happy with kevin mccarthy because the january 6th hearings are completely devoid of clowning, trolling and disruptions that trump was counting on for his attempted coup. i have a special guest, cherelle griner and the wife of basketball star britney griner who has been held in russia for four months. we begin with the january 6th committee hearings which most people can agree have been extremely substantive. so much so that they re going on longer than we thought. chairman bennie thompson said today that the committee received so much new information on the tip line that he s been promoting during each of the previous hearings that after tomorrow additional hearings will be held in july. one of the latest developments, never before seen footage subpoenaed from the committe
