the best charge available here is not so much inciting the insurrection. which i think he has some challenges under the first amendment. but instead, the charge of conspiracy to defraud the united states. that, is i knew i lost this election, and i try to steal it back anyway. mike pence is a critical component of that. it was trying to persuade mike pence, publicly, privately, on twitter and at the rally to thwart the counting of the votes. to abuse his power, i think all of those questions that carole just said go to donald trump s knowledge of fraud, and intent to persuade mike pence to abuse his power. if that could be proven, you need not even prove that donald trump incited the insurrection. i think that s gonna stand or fall based on some of the facts that are already known. i think the committee did something really interesting with regard to that theory. which is not so much the speed of the ellipse. but the failure to do anything for three hours. and making the tweet that s
more control? even changing our culture? on twitter the official house oversight committee democrats account accused republicans of holding the hearing to amplify, quote: white nationalist conspiracy theories. that isn t about oversight. it s about stoking the fears of immigrants. republicans intensified attacks on homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. i think he is an embarrassment, should step down. it s unclear if the g.o.p. haas the votes to impeach mayorkas. the house has not impeached a cabinet member in 147 years. bret? bret: chad pergram on capitol hill, thanks. stocks were up today following federal reserve chairman jerome powell s statement that inflation is starting to ease but the process will take significant time. the dow gained 256, the s&p 500 finished ahead 53, the nasdaq jumped 226. joining us tonight west virginia democratic senator joe manchin. welcome back. good to be with you, bret. you have an op-ed out in the
plot. donald trump told us what he was going to do he told us on twitter and had steve bannon tell us on his podcast and the people around him, michael flynn, john eastman tell us again at a rally. i think one of adam goldman s colleagues was live tweeting it on the 5th. i remember thinking this is sounding terrifying. everybody knew what donald trump had planned. i thought he was a terrible president but he was the president of the united states. why didn t anybody do anything? yeah, i mean, one possible reason is i do think that the fbi suffers from, particularly the leadership, suffered from kind of fighting the last war mentality, so they really focused on, for example, islamic terrorism to the exclusion of domestic threats. we know this attack was planned and we know it wasn t like some
from me and the team here on bbc news, thank you very much for watching. get in touch via social media, on twitter. bye bye. hello there. it s been cold again today across england and wales, even if you did have the sunshine. some areas, though, it s been a real struggle with this mist and fog across parts of northern england, east wales, the west midlands and the west country. towards the north west of the uk, things are looking very different. we re getting atlantic air and a lot of cloud coming in, bringing in some milder conditions. still going to be quite windy for scotland and northern ireland into the night. some more rain coming in from the atlantic as well. some of that cloud just could edge into western most parts of england and wales. but on the whole, we ve got clearer skies. that s going to lead to some more fog, particularly across some eastern parts of england. it ll be dense, it ll be freezing as well. there ll be a widespread frost for england and wales. could be as
