january six committee has obtained new, private evidence leading to believe that the capitol attack included a coordinated assault perpetrated by the oath keepers on the proud boys. and they came to that conclusion this week, after obtaining evidence of the coordination and testimony, and non public video. you see, like so many of the insurrectionists on january 6th, the militia groups like to record their crimes on video. the committee spent seven hours interviewing a documentary filmmaker who captured many of the proud boys actions on january 6th and sixth and they examine some of the footage in quote, excruciating detail. sources said the new information could play a large role in establishing whether trump oversaw a criminal conspiracy as part of his efforts to overturn the election, and most crucially from the panel, it could form part of the evidence to connect the militia groups to the organizers of the rally that immediately proceeded the attack who in turn are slowly being lin
hugo reported this to the guardian, and he joins me now. hugo, let me start on the text messages we have. i will go to your reporting with the guarding, next. to me what jumps out about the trump messages is that it gets rid of any possible account that this was based on things they actually empirically suspected about the nature of the vote count. and was instead, what it looked like, pure will power, a time to stay in power no matter what. right. and that is exactly how the judge phrased it in the eastman rooting recently. it was that it was a coup. and i think that this kind of goes to the heart of everything around trump s effort to overturn the election, right? the one thing that stood out to me about the text message that don junior sent to meadows was that it was coming even before the election had been finalized. we had joe biden as the winner, and it shows that this plan, this scheme to have pence
stationed outside d.c. as a nuclear option in case the attempt to remove the president illegally, we will step in and stop it. so we have good men on the ground already. we have them there last week. and we are sorting, out we will be staging, and we will be there. we will be inside d.c., we will also be on the outside of d.c. prepared to go and if the president calls it. that is him saying it himself. we know there is another group known as proud boys, they also potted an organized, but in a less public matter. their leader allegedly ordered his members to remain incognito when they arrive to washington. again, allegedly he held a secret meeting with the head of the oath keepers on january 5th, the day before the insurrection, in an underground parking garage. so here you see two different of these groups coming together to plan. but now, a fuller picture is coming into focus of how these militias, gangs, however you want to call, them played a key role of executing the will of dona
there for queer people, which makes it even worse for us. yes, indeed. well, we ll, thank you so much for being here. i wish that i would have been together as a 17 year old as you are thank you for your advocacy. we would love to have you back on the show. i will be back anytime. thank you so much for having me. i appreciate you guys. peace and love. peace and love, cheers, okay. that is tonight s read out. what a wonderful kid. all in with chris hayes starts now. all in with chri tonight on a. donald trump junior enters the coup plotting storyline tonight. you re reporting on don junior s list to stop joe biden certification. including his text to mark meadows that quote, we have operational control to do it. and why the january six committee now believes the capitol attack included a coordinated assault by the oath keepers and proud boys. and stunning evidence of what looks like a delivered attack
for example, one of the members of the mob confirmed that in his interview with the fbi. qanon follower, douglas, seen here on january 6th, told the fbi that he was influenced by the ex president s lawyers. i quote him here, linwood got me fired up. sydney powell got me fired up. rudy giuliani got me fired up. yeah. they were firing people up. trump s lawyers following the ideas laid out by don junior on november 5th, incited him to go to the capitol on january 6th where he broke into the building and infamously chased officer eugene goodman up the stairs in this now infamous footage from that day. johnson is now trying to suppress that interview that he voluntarily gave the fbi, perhaps regretting that he opened his mouth. the way that i have come to see it is that there were basically three buckets. three categories of people involved in that insurrection. they are all part of one story. there is of course the ex president, his inner circle of enablers, then there is the mob
