what they found was evidence of likely chemical activity from the former president. trump s actions more likely than not constitute attempts to obstruct an official proceeding, that is, criminal obstruction of the court of presidential echo votes in congress that is obviously not the standard proof that will be necessary to convict in trial. but it is a remarkable finding in a sitting judge to say it is more likely than not that the president has committed this official pony. i guess my feeling watching is the whole time is, what trump did in congress is unprecedented, but not in the conflicts of the world. people try coups where they try to stay in power. usually it is a shoot the moon situation. you succeed or you don t and face consequences. it is pretty
alabama. we hand over the phone who spoke with the president for several minutes. this new reporting that the call came from not a burner phone but the official white house phone sure seems close to a smoking gun. donald trump was not just avoiding using official lines on generous except partly, maybe using cell phones, so-called burner phones, something trump claims he knows nothing about. although his former national security adviser said he heard trump use the term burner phone several times. the guardian report indicates that trump or someone in the administration appears to have been tempering with the records. there should be a record of the calls from the switchboard, and it is not there, which means that it was removed at some point. but many others likely from the log. that said, the calls that are
have multiple sources of information about what the president was doing, and more importantly as it turns out, what he was not doing while the capital was being attacked. so we are not relying just on the logs we get from the archives, we are talking to witnesses, many of whom were in the room that day with the president. we are knowledgeable about what he was doing, or others who have been privy to phone conversations. so we are going to complete the picture about what he was doing, and if there was any kind of intent to obstruct, conceal, cover-up with respect to those logs. we will get those answers as well. yes. just a follow-up on that, my understanding is if there was any tampering, particularly in the moment, it would involve people, right? i mean, there are other people who are tasked with this, or detailed by monroe to have to do it. so, if they tampered with it, we will find out.
have gone to former officials and former president trump s orbit, who actually assisted in the logistics around the rally, planning the funding an execution. this is aligned with the strategy of the justice department that they were going to take all along, starting for the bottom up, moving their way up to people closer and closer to the former president. again those people that have received subpoenas had very limited information because of the nature of the investigation. prosecutors are trying to keep this as under wraps as possible, but we have heard from sources that the subpoenas of the scope of what has been asked for is very similar to the january six investigation had also asked for the officials also subpoena. all right jacqueline alemany, good reporting for the washington post. thank you for joining us. congressman adam schiff is a democrat from california. he serves on the house
he started trailing in the polls to another republican in the contest, trump withdrew that endorsement, just took it back, because it was not panning out in georgia, trump endorsed former republican senator david perdue against incumbent them republican governor brian kemp. and just for one reason, right? because trump believes kemp and raffensperger, too conservative republicans, did not do enough to help him steal the 2020 election. ahead of trump s disappointing rally in georgia last weekend, purdue was narrowly defeated for reelection in 2020. he said quote, in my election, in the presidents election, they were stolen. he is reported saying if he were elected he would decertify the 2020 georgia election results. i don t even think that is a thing. but again, it is not clear that this rhetoric is enough. a fox news poll earlier this month found purdue trailing kemp by 11 points, despite his embrace of trump, and the big lie, the election was stolen. those two georgia endorsements ar
