seated a suspicion of government that is even more widespread today. remember, a few years later kim watergate a scandal that forced the president to resign and raised even more distrust in government. and now along with republican assault on voting rights we re learning more about efforts to dig up dirt on congressional democrats and others at donald trump s department of justice. the current chief doj s inspector general is now in the ordeal. but today this breaking news in the new york times revealing that in february 2018 trump s doj subpoenaed apple for information about an account that belong to former white house counsel don mcgahn. according to two of the new york times sources apple was barred from telling mcgahn about. it the doj declined to comment. the senate majority leader wants answers. what has happened here are fingerprints of a dictatorship, not as democracy. no one likes the idea that if the president s mad, he can just go forth with setting personal phon
thank you so much for joining us. at this hour, we are standing by and keeping our eye on capitol hill. we re going to soon be hearing from house speaker nancy pelosi. pelosi will be taking questions from reporters. she s kind of doing her intro right now. we re going to get into it in a second, because this is the first time since the house passed the bill creating an independent commission to investigation the capitol insurrection that she s going to be taking questions from reporters. 35 house republicans, defied gop leadership voting in favor of the commission. now, obviously, that is nowhere near a majority. but in house republican politics, it is a significant number of defections. now, it s up to the senate, where until you can show me evidence to the contrary, we should expect this bill, this commission, to fail. cnn s manu raju is joining us from capitol hill. for more on this, we re keeping an ear to speaker pelosi, manu. but it s the same math we talk about all the

here we are in the united states of america experiencing something that s not experienced anywhere else in the world. there is a sameness and numbness is something we re all feeling but begs the damn question what the hell is going on in the united states of america? is wrong with us? dan simon joins us from the scene. dan, what do we know? reporter: anderson, as usual, the main question is why? what would cause the shooter to go across the street, target his own co-workers, shoot and kill them? authorities have not established a clear cut motive. authorities did recover multiple weapons at the scene. they haven t said the make and model of the weapons but seems clear he wanted to inflict as much carnage as possible before taking his own life. at 6:34 a.m. the calls started. deputies responded and received information there are multiple shots fired calls. reporter: just as workers at the maintenance yard were beginning their shift. deputies and running officers re
