from members of congress and people and then president trump s inner circle. what more are you hearing? reporter: well, this all comes in a court filing, allie alexander challenging a list of things about the select committee, namely their effort to try to get his phone records directly from his telecommunications provider. what this filing shows is that he passed along communications that he says are from representative mo brooks. he also says that he testified in front of house select committee investigators last week for several hours in which he discussed phone communications he had with another member of congress, specifically paul gosar. further, pamly, said he had a conversation with kimberly guilfoyle. this shows that the house select committee members have a wealth of information they re getting directly from the source, directly from the people who they subpoenaed who they think were at the central effort of the rallies that eventually preceded the violence at the
ball. he wrote about a lot of stuff in this book, but they were claiming, his lawyers, that it was the subpoenas for phone communications and for records that really just took it a step too far. how will all of that play out ultimately if he is held in criminal contempt, referred, as we move forward potentially with that process. the fact of what went before, how will that come into play, elie? dana s reporting explains a lot. remember it was about a week ago when meadows reached this tentative cooperation deal with the committee. now something has changed drastically. you can see meadows and his attorney trying to find some explanation for why they ve gotten cold feet. what they said in a letter to the committee is we re really offended because you subpoenaed phone records and how dare you. this gets into intensely personal communications. that s nonsense. that s not what the phone records are. the committee doesn t get the
election. that s what this is all about, his attempted cheating to win the 2020 election by subverting his opponent. but before he finished that phone call with sondland, you can be dang sure that russian intelligence was already sending transcripts up to the office of vladimir putin through their special communications information service, their nsa. we ve seen examples of where russia and ukrainian assets within that country that are subordinate to russia and who are assisting them have intercepted u.s. diplomats like victoria nuland, and have put that out as blackmail information, as kompromat, or to embarrass the united states. vladimir putin knows more about the intentions of donald trump and the national security of the united states through these unsecured phone communications. and trust me, i ve done a lot of intercepts like this, and believe me, you can manipulate people when they don t think you know what they know. now russia knows all about this.
