board. mike allen, thank you for that, and enjoy your weekend and thanks to all of you for getting up way too early with us on this friday morning. morning joe starts now. let me say that i not like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function and i will now be gently reentering the atmosphere and splashing down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the pacific. and i am returning to my plan, and i will be offering this government nothing but the most fervent support. like cincinatus. that was boris johnson giving his farewell speech but he s now back in the fold now that liz truss has resigned. hardly knew ye. back in the states it s been more than a week since the january 6th decided to subpoena the former president. we re going to go through why donald trump has not been served yet. and the investigation into the capitol attack is in need of serious funding but there s not a lot of time to make that happen. we ll explain. plus presi
culpability for the first time. in this new legally binding document cites evidence to show why trump must, they say, legally cooperate. setting deadlines for evidence, november 4th. deadlines for testifying, november 14th. and this new material puts trump at the center of the coup plot to overturn the election. the committee writing that he maliciously disseminated false allegations of voter fraud, corrupted the justice department, ran the effort to transmit false electoral certificates, that may yet yield more indictments. it s basically saying he committed crimes, and pressured pence to help the coup even though according to the committee, trump knew at the time in advance that the pence plot was illegal. and then of course summoning supporters who trump knew were armed, according to the committee s investigation to that d.c. rally, and the storming of the capitol. now, what happens if you defy a subpoena like this. trump aide steve bannon found out today. it s a coinciden
80s theme. i like that a lot. thank you, dashing jake. thank you very much. thanks, guys. see you. hello, everyone. this is cnn not to, i m alisyn camerota. i m laura coates. we re 20 days away from the all-important midterm elections. with key races around the nation tightening up, especially those that will decide who controls the senate. now, there s this question. look, while he s not on the ballot, how much of a factor is the former president donald trump in how americans will actually vote? listen, there are significant developments in donald trump s legal troubles today. a lot is percolating right now. here are just some of the headlines in the course of just a few hours. this is from cnn politics exclusive. trump considers allowing federal investigators to search mar-a-lago again, and then also a federal judge says that trump signed legal documents that he knew he included false voter fraud numbers. also, you got trump appearing for a deposition in the
being here, great to have you in studio. robert, you talk about this in your book. can you paint a picture for us? what will it look like? what will happen for the next two years in this country if the republicans win back congress? the first things that will happen is that marjorie taylor greene told me, there s going to be a lot of investigation. so, you can expect the gop to take a kind of punitive form. it will be a party of payback. they will be stripping people of their committee assignments to weigh marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar were. they there will certainly be articles of impeachment advanced against biden, yeah, and perhaps some of his cabinet members. i think what will be more interesting is to see how the republicans deal with the debt ceiling and whether they will try to use social wedge issues attached to the debt ceiling to attract certain concessions from the president. kevin mccarthy did that of course when he was majority within 2011 and i
law in those regions he annexed illegally. my interview with an iranian human rights activist, a star of popular shows, spotlighting the heroic women fighting for freedom in iran. good day, everyone. i m andrea mitchell in washington. president biden is taking steps to try to help democrats in close races, trying to hold on to congressional majorities. today s focus, bringing down gas prices. he will explain his plan to release another 15 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve in december, with more potentially coming later this winter. it s a relatively small release, but what does it mean for the long-term? joining me now, gene spurling. we have seen the polls. voters say their focus is on the economy and inflation. this release will not happen until december. maybe the price comes down because markets are anticipating it. what s being done to anticipate hurting americans right now as we head into the midterms? let s remember that this 15 million
