epstein. a second day talking to investigators. abc reporting after several hours of questions, he s back for more prosecutors looking at his conversations and interactions with trump attorneys like giuliani and john eastman, and trump himself the washington post has reported that epstein s speak to trump in the current era as many as five times a day. which means there is a lot linking him and the former president in ways that these investigators are interested in. as for the names, they re familiar, because they are part of the controversial set of advisers who were helping try to normalize, see the ground for, or execute on a coup plot. all of them, the three i just mentioned have been recommended for criminal prosecution by the january 6th committee, which was serving in the last congress abc also reports that smith personally sat in on part of epstein s interview thursday he, as the leader of this investigation, did not lob any questions, which would be typical, but he
protest? a riot? the makings of some scattered illegal violence? or do you see something worse. one of the most severe felonies against the u.s. which is now on trial tonight. do you see sedition? that is what federal prosecutors see and what some juries saw and have now convicted, and it s our special report for you right now. we are living through a test of accountability, the doj s effort to convict in these separate sedition trials two years out from an attack that might fade out of view for some people. today the doj demanding juries continue to face what it felt like, what happened, the facts of that day. seemed like they just took mike pence out really quickly. yes, they did. a moment i never saw in my life, these individuals just rushed through security. they are inside statuary hall. obviously this is a huge victory for these protesters. they have disrupted the system in an enormous way. i completely condemn the violence in the capital. i ve spoken to the
