good evening, any fair minded person who has followed the lafayette and presidency of donald j. trump knows he lies and lies a lot. what we learned today from the sworn testimony of those who worked closely with then president trump is they knew he lied just as much as we thought he did. the former president of the united states lied about nonexistent election fraud before, during and after the 2020 election. he lied despite being told again and again and again that it was not existent, that there was no widespread election fraud by the people around him, his supporters in the white house. they were telling him using many different kinds of words that what he was saying was a lie. he lied in an effort to stop the counting of ballots on election night and to later cast doubt on their validity. and allegedly he lied in pursuit of a quarter billion dollars in campaign donations to a fund he lied about the very existence of, an election defense fund that did not exist. as you ll
hearing takes new turns. the january 6 committee accusing donald trump of scamming his supporters out of $250 million. laying 0 out the case that trump solicited money from backers by using lies as a fundraising tool. adding that he sent up to 25 emails a day, soliciting donations for illegal funds that simply didn t exist. but is it potentially criminal and will attorney general merrick garland pursue or prosecute it as such? those are the key questions emerging from the hearings overall. and there seems to be a new rift emerging from the january 6 committee itself on the very subject. whether they will make a specific criminal referral to the justice department. as for witnesses, some of the most stark testimony is coming from trump s former attorney general william barr who offered a line-by-line debunking of some of trump s ongoing lies about fraud. and he calls trump detached from reality after the election. cnn is live with the new reporting, trump s supporters, kai

everything he can to bring prices down. white house correspondent peter doocy joins us from the north lawn. good evening, peter. good evening, bret. when the president gave the rousing speech about the economy today he never mentioned the federal reserve is expected to raise interest rates tomorrow. instead, he was looking backwards and talking about all the times that there were long lines of cars waiting to get boxes of food during covid lockdowns as he tried to make the point it could be worse. under my plan for the economy we made extraordinary progress. so dismal economic trends aren t the problem. the president thinks messaging is the problem. i don t want to hear anymore of these lies about reckless spending. three members of biden s inner circle head to the hill tomorrow. kate bedingfield, john o malley dillon and will talk messaging on the economy. inflation. it s sapping the strength of a lot of families. inflation is not isolated to the u.s. worldwide
i m stephanie ruhle. it is a critical question, as important today as it was 50 years ago. what did the president know, and when did he know it? today, and its second public hearing, the january six committee tried to answer that very question. the panel laid out how donald trump embraced election lies, and ignored his own top aides, as they repeatedly debunked his false claims in the days, weeks and even months leading up to the attack. after the election, as of november 7th, in your judgment, what were the chances of president trump winning the election? after that point? yes. none. what they were proposing, that was not. the theory was also completely nuts. if he really believes this stuff, he has lost contact with he s become detached by the hour. when i went into this, and would, you know, tell him how crazy some of these allegations were. there was never an indication of interesting interest with the actual facts. my opinion then in my opinion now is that
