it cannot come at a more critical time. with more legal exposure for the twice impeached former president after cassidy hutchinson provided a smoking gun, starting with as she exposed in the clearest detail yet that the former president was aware of the threat of violence from his supporters on january 6. i was in the vicinity of a conversation where i overheard the president say something to the effect of, i don t fin care that they have weapons. they re not here to hurt me. take the fin mags away. let my people in. they can march to the capitol here. that s damning in light of the former president s speech to his armed followers. fight like hell. if you don t fight like hell, you are not going to have a country anymore. that kind of fight like hell, fight, fight, fight language was what the former president s lawyers said would be foolish to include. they were urging the speech writers to not include that language for legal concerns and also for the optics of wh

for impeachment moving in the other direction. moving more towards the president. so i think the white house wants to find out a little bit more about what chairman nadler envisions. but right now, it seems as though they re disinclined to do a full participation. ali. hans, thank you. hans nichols for us at the white house. and the new york times piece wasn t the only damning revelation. new testimony transcripts from an office of management and budget official, mark sandy, reveals how intense the withholding of that ukrainian aid was for the office of management and budget. this was part of his testimony, his close-door testimony. according to mark sandy, the withholding of that of that money was part of the reason why two omb officials resigned. including one official from the omb s legal department. sandy also provided even more revealing context to the timeline of the aid and then there s this. he testified that the white house chief of staff, mick mulvaney, notified him tha
