the reidout is up next. tonight on the reidout we fight. we fight like hell. and if you don t fight like hell, you re not going to have a country anymore. we re going to walk down pennsylvania avenue, i love pennsylvania avenue. and we re going to the capitol. a ruling about those comments from donald trump would seem to open up the possibility of lawsuits against the former president by victims of the january 6th insurrection. meanwhile, more transcripps were released from the january 6th committee revealing a whole lot of trump insiders with very convenient memory lapses. also tonight, more of george santos lies are uncovered. we ll look closely at his finances which highlight the glaring need for campaign finance reform. and in state after state, midterm voters rejected election deniers. and now democrats have a golden opportunity to safeguard voting rights. one of the governors leading that fight joins me tonight. good evening, everyone. i m maria ter
unilaterally subvert democracy. also this morning, new photos obtained by abc news show vice president pence and his family in hiding on january 6th, after pence was rushed off the senate floor. you ll remember by secret service as rioters broke into the capitol. i think the public probably is not aware of how close a call this was. the rioters came very close to capturing the vice president and i think there is very good evidence that they would have done harm to him, perhaps even killed him. so this was a close call. that was congresswoman zoe lofgren who sits on that select committee, testifying today, very significant testimony, coming from retired federal judge michael luttig, highly respected conservative judge, once one of justice clarence thomas closest advisers, previously clerked for justice scalia, considered by former president george w. bush as a nominee to the high court himself. that s why his words carry such weight, especially on a day like today. in a
my memory, i remember hearing the word wimp, either he called him a wimp, i don t remember if he said wimp is the word i remember. something to the effect this is the wording is wrong. i made the wrong decision for our five years ago. and the word that he repla the word, do you remember what she said her father called anymore the p word. our investigation found that early drafts of the january 6th ellipse speech prepared for the president, include nod d no men of the vice president, but revised it to criticize the vice president and further ad libbed. trump did not stop there, sending a sweet attacking his vice president after aides had told the president that there was violence at the capitol, where mike pence was. the tweet poured gasoline on the fire according to one trump white house aide. the mob surged in the minutes after that tweet and were able to overwhelm the police. two minutes later, pence was evacuated to a secure location underneath the capi
schumer how one of the rioters got a tour of the capital capitol from a republican congressman the day of the insurrection. but no one in that group showed that type of aggression that day. committee member adam schiff is here on that, plus the planned hearing tomorrow focusing on vice president mike pence and the we live consequences of the big lie on a local election in new mexico. i have huge concerns with these voting machines. i really do. when all in starts right now good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. we now have a blueprint for the violent insurrection, from far-right gang the proud boys, and it uncannily matches up in specific detail with what actually transpired on january 6th. today, we got the first look at the document titled, 1776 returns, when the lawyer for the philadelphia president of the proud boys, included it in a federal court filing. we heard mention of this document in previous indictments against members of the proud boys, some
actually transpired on january 6th. today, we got the first look at the document titled, 1776 returns, when the lawyer for the philadelphia president of the proud boys included it in a federal court filing. we heard mention of this document in previous indictments against members of the proud boys, some of whom were charged with seditious conspiracy last week. prosecutors revealed that an individual, whose identity is known to the grand jury, sent this blueprint to proud boys leader enrique tarrio on december 30th, 2020. one way to think about the attempted coup and i think the way that the committee is discussing it, and the way we discuss it on this program is sort of broadly two different efforts that merged on january 6th. there was trump and his circle of people around him, who were pro-coup, attempting to overthrow the rightfully elected president, joe biden, to keep donald trump in power. they were trying to use every government mechanism they had at their disposal
