committee predominantly of democrats, we know the january 6th select committee has more democrats than republicans, she argues, ward argues, is going after the personal records of a republican chair woman, and she says that that is inappropriate, that it is trying to criminalize political speech or political thought, and the lower courts view that differently, and said these records could provide important investigative material for the committee. and she has already asserted her fifth amendment rights, in questioning, and they want to get those records. so what will the high court do? we don t yet know. justice kagan can refer this to her fellow justices for them all to consider or she can review it herself. it tells you what is at stake here, that this issue, the battle over democracy, and the committee s efforts to try to get to the facts, are now going all the way to the supreme court. lally? kelly o donnell, live for us in washington. thank you. nbc news learning this afternoo

much as that picture does. i can tell you that the iranian news organization says about 10,000 are out on the street. i think you can assume that the number might well be more than that. but again, frankly, whenever washington says and whatever washington says and does and clearly there is an attempt by the biden administration to demonstrate support for these protesters, by sanctioning more than a dozen iranian officials, no matter that, the facts on the ground, what is happening on the ground, that is what is making history right now. keir simmons, you were right, it is a powerful and compelling photo. i appreciate you walking through the latest developments from here. vladimir putin today overseeing annual drills by russian nuclear forces, and war gate, meant to simulate a massive nuclear strike according to officials there and repeating a claim from senior russian officials, and without evidence, ukraine plans to use a so-called
