boulduan. this hour it was a late night on capitol hill as the january 6th committee laid out in damning detail more evidence of donald trump s repeated refusal to do anything to quiet, calm, or call off the capitol rioters for hours. last night s primetime hearing focused on the more than three hours that trump actively did nothing to stop the deadly violence. two former west wing aides testifying that trump watched the violence unfold on television, confirming that he never called the military or law enforcement. not a single call. and we saw in testimony, we saw testimony of how he refused the pleas for action from essentially all of his advisers and his family. we also saw outtakes of the video trump recorded the day after the attack. in it, he refuses to say even then that the election was over. let s begin with cnn s jessica schneider live in washington with highlights from last night. jessica, there was a lot there. reporter: there was, kate.
