Craig melvin will also be holding it down tomorrow. Good to see you, hallie jackson. Craig mel bin msnbc headquarters in new york city. Bracing for more, after the historic day on capitol hill, democrats and republicans are taking a break today before diving back into the public phase of the Impeachment Inquiry, as hallie just mentioned there. That will resume tomorrow. Were going to break down all the Key Developments from day one. Well also look at what we can expect from both sides tomorrow. Also ahead, a member of the community conducting these hearings, congressman Eric Swalwell will join me with reaction to everything that we heard and the strategy for tomorrow. You are looking live inside the New Hampshire statehouse where any moment now former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick plans to make it official. He will be adding his name to that already crowded field of democratic contenders. What hes saying about his decision and the new questions
that his candidacy is raising abou
posted his intention to set himself on fire in advance on his substack. and while the investigation is ongoing, it definitely raises concerns, not just about the security and safety of those involved with the trial itself. it raises that other point i mentioned about what the spectacle of the trump trial of the 21st century might attract over the next several weeks and the question of why a young man would self emoilate in the park. we do not believe he is this was targeting any particular person or any particular group. we just right now are labeling it as sort of a conspiracy theorist. joining me is nbc news correspondent yasmin vossoughian who witnessed that in front of the courthouse. jim kavanaugh, retired atf special agent and msnbc contributor, and michael beschloss, nbc news presidential historian and friend of the show. yasmin, i want to start with you. tell us about that moment you
jim, ongoing investigation, getting more facts, learning more when it comes to the timeline and, of course, the numbers of people that have been injured, who was involved in this investigation, because as we look to the lineup at that very brief press conference, the sheriff of the police department there, we saw some special agents in the background. right. so the sheriff likely is the official who has school resource deputies in the schools in the county. so that s why the sheriff is the one speaking. he probably controls the school area, so sheriffs detectives, the iowa division of criminal investigation, which you saw one of the special agents behind him who spoke about a future press conference, that s the iowa division of criminal investigation. they re the state s investigators. iowa state troopers there, of course, in uniform. and, of course, fbi arrived, atf arrived. those agents basically act as

detectives first, so atf and fbi, they re detectives, they interview like detectives investigate, gather facts, plug in there. they also add their own specialties. their own expertise. like atf will trace the gun immediately, they ll put an urgent trace in to the national atf tracing center, it will trace that gun. they ll see the whole history where it went to, provide that to all the investigators to track it down. it may be pretty simple because it may be his gun, but nevertheless that effort will go on. there is no prosecution, but, you know, they can forensically process the scene and they want to do normally on a shooting like this what we call the psychological autopsy, to go back the last three to six months on the killer, shooter, to see, gloi what was going on in their life, what motivated them and that s an effort in an case like this to stop another
