good evening, once again, i m stephanie ruhle. today was a very, very busy day on the hill. the fifth january 6th hearing, and we saw even more revelations of just how far former president donald trump was willing to go to stay in office. front and center. how the former president attempted to strong-arm officials and his own justice department to overturn the 2020 election. the riveting testimony came from trump s former acting attorney general, jeff rosen, his deputy, richard donoghue and ha council stephen engel. how often did president trump contact you or the department to push allegations of election fraud. so, between december 23rd and january 3rd, president either called me or met with me virtually every day. on december 13th, an organization called the allied security group issued a report that alleged that the dominion voting machines in that county had a secret 68% error rate. he was adamant that the report must be accurate, that proof that he in fact won
