in a lengthy letter with indiscriminate capitalization committee chair bennie thompson sends it to him and trump doubled down on fraudulent claims that the 2020 election was stolen. a reminder, it was not. facts. once the subpoena is formally issued there will be specific deadlines for when the former president must testify. if he defies it, he could then be held in contempt of congress. yesterday s subpoena vote was the committee s mic drop moment before the november midterms. they also, though, used that final hearing to share new evidence from secret service communications, leading up to the capitol riot. and showed never before seen footage of congressional leaders scrambling to respond to the attacks from a makeshift bunker. cnn justice correspondent jessica schneider joins us live now. tell us more about new evidence that was revealed. well, victor, and erica, the biggest new evidence was all of that new video from congressional leaders behind the scenes, figuring
his lawyers mistakenly sent years, years of his texts to the oppose counsel. oops. we begin tonight with samuel alito. the supreme court justice who played partisan god or at least thought he could when he authored the majority opinion that overruled roe. now we imagine today was a hard day for justice alito, but, no, we don t feel especially badly for him. remember, he s the one who cited in his opinion a 17th century jurist who supported marital rape and witch burning so it shouldn t surprise us at all that alito in the first public appearance gloetd over making women suffer and mocked his foreign critics during a speech he delivered in rome. i had the honor this term of writing i think the only supreme court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders. one of these was former prime minister boris johnson, but he paid the price. what really wounded me was when the duke of sussex addressed the united nations and
to help overturn the election and testified before the house select committee is also facing opposition backed by the former president in his state senate race. some of the very same candidates are also being supported controversially by democrats hoping to run against more extreme opponents in the fall. all of this with inflation and fears of recession as the backdrop, president biden s foreign policy decision on the table in midterm elections now 98 days away. john king is tracking the important races and trends at the wall. john, missouri polls are just closing, as you know the former president caused a lot of confusion in his senate endorsement of two people named eric, both running for the same office. how is that race shaping up? yeah, anderson, the fact that we re talking about missouri is actually the story in the sense that this is a retiring republican incumbent roy blount the wind at the republican s back. this should be a safe seat. the former president decided
ballot. that s true. but he is casting a pretty big shadow as he continues to endorse some, it s not always clear, i might add, who he is endorsing, more on that in just a moment. and the timing will be pretty interesting here. it isn t just post january 6th. it s post the first series of january 6th hearings. we ll see whether it impacted voters and which way it did. it hasn t seemed to impact the platforms, though, of candidates in several swing states. some continue to echo the baseless fraud claims and there is a whole slate of them in arizona who are running for top positions like governor and attorney general, secretary of state and senate, you know, consequential office holders for those who run elections. also closely watched, the senate race in missouri. trump has endorsed an eric. okay, but which eric did you mean to endorse, sir? rivals eric greitens and eric schmitt both claim trump meant them and trump for his part has yet to clarify, now, on election night. it s
