Ultimately, what President Trump said is, lets go with option d. Lets just halt, lets pause the voting and allow the State Legislatures to take one last look and make a determination as to the as to whether or not the elections were handled fairly. Thats constitutional law. Thats not an issue of criminal activity. I will be joined by nancy pelosi on the charges against the former president. The republican support for him, which is increasing, plus the challenges for congressional democrats. Reaction from the officers who defended capitol hill on january 6th. They were in the courthouse yesterday to watch it unfold. It was refreshing, if you will, so to speak, to see the president the former president treated like any other criminal who violates the law sitting in that courtroom going through the judicial process. It isnt closure. I wish it would have happened. I said he should have been arrest order chared or charged 7. Its not closure, but its not a necessary step to get that closure.
these weren t fraudulent claims. he felt these things were true. the problem is, there s a lot of evidence in this indictment and elsewhere to the contrary. no less than bill barr, his attorney general, says he is convinced donald trump knew he lost. harry, i want to talk to you about, first of all, mike pence s response to trump s legal team. let s watch that. let s be clear on this point. it wasn t just that he asked for a pause. the president specifically asked me and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me to literally reject votes, which would have resulted in the issue being turned over to the house of representatives and literally chaos would have ensued. harry, this gets to the heart of something that s on page 34 in the indictment. i want to play something that the defense lawyer seemed to be acknowledging last night.
