recourse afforded to address the harm suffered. now, when you look at the legislation, there are pieces of the legislation that pay lip service to due process while legislation, you might say draws near unto due process with its lips, its heart is far from it. whep you read the fine print, the due process to which it refers is not due process at all. it s poacht deprivation post deprivation due process. the procedures we associate with due process, the opportunity to be heard before a fair and partial tribunal, the opportunity to offer up evidence, the opportunity to cross-examine adverse witnesses, things we think of as inextricably intertwined as due process because they are, those things are articulated at the back of this due process paragraph of the bill. it makes revenues to the fact that that s the type of due process that in the view of the bill can, according to state law, be made either before or after the constitutional deprivation in question, depending on the d
legislation into law today. mr. cornyn: mr. president, tomorrow will mark one month since the tragic shooting in uvalde, texas, a high school dropout with a history of violence and mental health struggles, purchased two ar-15 s within days turning 18, and he passed a background check. he then shot his own grandmother because she wanted him to go back into the classroom rather than drop out of school and then went to the robb elementary school through an unlocked door. he then opened fire on two fourth grade classrooms, killing 19 students and two teachers. the american people were shocked, outraged, and devastated by this attack and collectively asked, how can we prevent this from happening again? while the discussions surrounding this topic causes emotions to run high, and i understand why, for too long some politicians have tried to pit the right to live in a safe community against the iewnl right to keep constitutional right to keep and bare arms, they make it seem lik
we ll have more in a moment. the revelation comes the same day that the january 6th committee said it may delay further hearings after the one scheduled tomorrow. the reason, according to one of its members, a deluge of new evidence, in his words. he didn t elaborate, saying that only the new information goes beyond what we learned about yesterday, the existence of a documentary crew s interview with the former president and his family recorded before and after january 6th. those recordings have been turned over to the committee. the report of federal subpoenas comes a day after we learned two vital pieces of evidence. first was testimony that directly linked the former president to the plot. what did the president say when he called you? essentially, he turned the call over to mr. eastman, who then proceeded to talk about the importance of the rnc helping the campaign gather these contingent electors in case any of the legal challenges that were ongoing changed the resul
onboard. we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i m wolf blitzer. you re in the situation room. we begin with a new evidence that then-president trump was repeatedly told by some top officials and closest advisers that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen. the january 6th investigators say he didn t care. our ryan nobles has all the top lines from today s hearing. it was a lie that began on election night. we were getting ready to win this election. frankly, we did win this election. donald trump s false claim that he won the 2020 election before all the votes were counted. a lie he continues to peddle. one that some of his closest advisers told the january 6th committee they didn t believe. like his attorney general. he s become detached from reality if he really believes this stuff. his campaign manager. i didn t think what was happening was necessarily honest or professional at that point in time. so yeah,
