good morning, everyone. i m bianna golodryga. our top story this hour, former president trump unleashing a angry response this morning after the january 6 committee voted to subpoena him for documents and testimony under oath in connection with the capitol riot. we are on bligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion. and every american is entitled to those answers. so we could act now to protect our republic. in his response, posted on truth social, trump reiterated many of the very same lies we ve heard for years now. once again falsely claiming that the election was stolen. but it is still unclear if he will comply. also we re now seeing new footage obtained by cnn never before seen video of congressional leaders responding in the moment of chaos. why don t you get the president to tell them to leave the capitol, mr. attorney general in your law enforcement responsibility. a public statement they should all leave. so, you might get we re
or call off the mob. the committee really driving home the point that he not only failed to act but chose not to. did you ever hear the president ask for the national guard? no. did you ask him ask for law enforcement response? no. so as somebody who works in the national security space, if there were going to be troops present or called up for a rally in washington, d.c. for example, is that something that you would have been aware of? yeah, i would. we also learned during the committee s eighth hearing that there will be a season two so to speak. ryan nobles has more on last night s revelations from the capitol. reporter: there is no doubt that the january 6 select committee had been building toward that hearing on thursday night. they viewed it as their most important hearing to indicate. en en date. and one of the reasons that they moved it to primetime and completely focused on that 187 minutes where donald trump in their mind did not do enough to stop
law enforcement or the pentagon to put an end to the violence and while video evidence showed rioters hanging on every word from the president, we learned that trump initially refused to use the word peace when he finally sent a tweet to that mob. and still to this day, former president trump will not say the election is over. witnesses say it took him nearly an hour to record this three-minute video the day after the insurrection due to his complete objections to the truth. watch. and to those who broke the law, you will pay. you do not represent our movement, you do not represent our country, and if you broke the law can t say that. i m not i already said you will pay. but this election is now over. congress has certified the results. i don t want to say the election is over. thursday s testimony also painted a picture of vice president pence really stepping in, taking charge, calling in the national guard, to disperse the rioters, something the president would no
spur the justice department to launch a criminal case. nobody wants an organized crime prosecution where the d.o.j. lawyers or prosecutors go after foot soldiers and lieutenants but don t go after the people that are ordering the crimes and putting all of the criminal events into motion. so, i agree with that. you know, i think that as a matter of justice it is just wrong to punish the people that are seduced by a criminal mastermind but not the mastermind himself or herself. the hearing provided this jaw-dropping account of just how much danger vice president s secret service detail thought that they were in. members of the v.p. detail were starting to fear for their own lives. there was a lot of yelling. there was a lot of very personal calls over the radio. it was disturbing. i don t like to talk about it. there were calls to say good-bye to family members, so on and so forth. for whatever the reason was on the ground, the v.p. detail thought it was about to get very
