the lies. if you ask how many republican congressmen believe trump was re-elected i d say maybe a couple but 60% of our base does. conspiracy theories. that could have been mickey mouse. i m watching this is the craziest thing i ve ever seen, and then people just bought it. lawsuits. they tried to not have your votes counted. they did not want your vote to count. potentially illegal pressure campaigns. i just want to find 11,780 votes. what he was asking for wasn t supported by the facts, wasn t supported by the constitution. extraordinary scheming. let s talk about the memo. just breathtaking that you would have laid out such a clear game plan that so clearly violated the constitution. and all too many in the republican party do you believe this was a free and fair election? and maga media who followed along. unverifiable dumps of votes. stop the steal! and it all might have worked if not for a few people in key places. notably among t
department if donald trump replaced rosen with jeffrey clark, that loyalist who was there to help him overturn the election. jeffrey clark, former justice department official, whose home was just searched by federal investigators. the committee says it s going to take us inside a heated oval office meeting on january 3rd when today s witnesses confronted trump over his threat to put clark in charge of the justice department until trump eventually backed down. playing a leading role in today s hearing, congressman adam kinzinger of illinois, one of only two republicans on the panel. all this comes after the select committee deposed filmmaker alex holder behind closed doors this morning about his documentary, which features never-before-seen interviews with trump and me members of his inner circle, both before and after january 6th. cnn has gotten first look at the documentary. we ve been sharing some of these key clips. as the committee is about to focus on jeffrey clark, let
the idea of mike pence, as his staff, gets into cars, pence says we re not leaving here, we are going to stay, and i m going to do my constitutional duty as vice president of the united states. get out of the cars, get back into the capitol. i mean, that s a very moving scene. and good for mike pence. and to see those pictures of him at this loading dock, wherever that was. you mean, this was a moment in american history that could have gone either way. i think that s, you know, so reinforced. i mean, there could have been a lot more deaths. there could have been a constitutional crisis. it was bad enough as it was. but it could have been worse. and mike pence deserves a lot of credit for the resolution was as good, if that s the word, as it turned out to be. i was a little surprised. i think it was the first hearing that the evidence came out from members of the committee that i think it was liz cheney said that when this question of hang mike pence got back to trump
denver riggleman join me tonight. then, myself, i m comfortable with the framework. it s a big endorsement for the bipartisan gun proposal. senator chris murphy is here on that. plus you have the chance to dump these grandstanding losers and replace them with two rock-solid america first champions! it s election night in america, another big test of the trump brand win all in starts right now good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. one of the biggest, most overwhelming themes of the january 6th committee s first two public hearings is that everyone knew the election was not rigged. all of the people around donald trump, other than a select, tiny little few, they all knew there was no big lie. or that the big lie was a big lie, that there was no fraud. they talked about it amongst themselves. some of them even send it directly to trump. but the other big theme is that nobody really did anything about it. none of them stood up and spoke the truth publicly.
stepian s recorded deposition to try to establish key facts about today s theme, the big lie, that donald trump knew he lost election, but continued anyway to rally his supporters around the false claim that he had won. we re also moments away from the supreme court releasing new decisions possibly on the key mississippi abortion case. we ll bring you any of the big cases as we learn about them. let s start with today s hearing because this missing stepian throws a wrench into the committee s plans after laying out how this would play out during the first prime time hearing last week. indeed, it does. because as we ve seen before, in-person testimony is so much more powerful even than the clips they showed of ivanka trump, for instance, on thursday night as we were showing on friday in the hearings. so the appearance in person would have been much more impactful. of course we re excited for them and his wife and their impending new baby, but that is the reality of what ha
