and good evening, i'm erin burnett. out front tonight, the breaking news. the january 6th select committee targeting one of trump's children along with five others in the former president's inner circle. it is the biggest day, yet, for the committee. we are learning that the committee has subpoenaed and obtained the phone records of eric trump and kimberly guilfoyle, who was engaged to trump's other son donald trump jr. also on the subpoena list, thee of trump's former attorneys -- rudy giuliani, jenna ellis, and sidney powell. ro rounding out the list today, trump's former campaign adviser, boris epshteyn. these individuals all fed the big lie for weeks leading up to the january 6th insurrection. >> we cannot allow these crooks -- because that's what they are -- to steal an election from the american people. they elected donald trump. they didn't elect joe biden. >> if the united states caves to corruption or this type of election integrity disaster, then no election will be secure from here on out. >> so, we have mathematical evidence in a number of states of massive quantities of trump votes being trashed. just simply, put in the trash like you would on your computer with any file. and uh, biden votes being injected. >> this campaign has been pointing out voter irregularities, voter fraud that's been perpetrated on the american people by the democrats. >> the democrats know that the only way that they can win this election is to cheat in pennsylvania. and we've seen it from day one. >> we will not allow the liberals and the democrats to steal our dream or steal our elections. >> and when it comes to january 6th, itself, the actual day of the insurrection, these individuals fueled the fire encouraging trump supporters to fight, to take back the country despite their candidate losing t the free and fair election. >> let's have trial by combat. >> you are the sole guardian to combat a corrupted election. >> we are not going to be intimidated. we are not going to back down. we are going to clean this mess up now. we are gonna reclaim the united states of america for the people who vote for freedom. >> i want from all the senators and all the congressmens, have some backbone, show some fight. learn from donald trump. >> do the right thing. fight. >> and the only person you didn't hear there, two days before the deadly insurrection tweeted georgia is all in. fight for donald trump. along with a video of a crowd chanting "fight for trump." so, i just went through the six individuals, and you saw their track record in the days and the weeks and the day of the insurrection. and when you hear and see that, it is clear that these six could provide a lot of information about january 6th. paula reid begins our coverage out front. so, paula, you know, six people. this is a very big day and the first of the president's family now involved. so what else do you know about the phone records that i understand they both subpoenaed and obtained involving eric trump and kimberly guilfoyle, soon-to-be the former president's daughter-in-law. >> that's right, erin, this appears to be-let first time they have subpoenaed records related to a member of the former president's family. now, here lawmakers have subpoenaed and they have obtained records of phone numbers related to eric trump and kimberly guilfoyle who as you just noted is engaged to eric's brother, donald trump jr. now, it's important to note that these records do not show the contents of conversations or the contents of calls. they show incoming and outgoing calls. they show the length of calls. and cnn has previously reported that the committee has subpoenaed similar records from over 100 different people. now, this is significant because both eric trump and kimberly guilfoyle, they had a significant role in pushing the big lie. they both spoke at the rally that preceded the attack at the capitol. and even fund raised off the big lie. so, the decision to subpoena these two -- this is notable. now, in terms of reaction from both of them, an attorney for guilfoyle says that she is not aware of any record of subpoena for her records. but says it quote of no consequence to her because she has absolutely nothing to hide or be concerned about. and a source familiar with eric trump's thinking says he is not losing any sleep over these subpoenas. >> all right. paula, please stay with me. i want to bring in to the conversation now, norm eisen, who was counsel to house democrats during trump's first impeachment trial and el think low anything, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. elie, you hear the reporting paula is laying out. phone records obtained. how big a move is this by the committee? >> well, erin, i was taught from my very early days a as a prosecutor, any conspiracy investigation, is you get those phone records because they provide you the connective tissue they show you exactly who was talking to who, and when. and as an investigator, you can look at those calls -- the thing about these calls and texts is there is always two parties two to these conversations. so you can look at these calls and see for example, okay, eric trump on january 5th at 3:23 p.m. had a 1 minute, 45 second conversation with this phone number. and if you can figure out who that other phone number is, even if eric trump's not talking, you can go talk to that person and figure out what was said. >> all right. so, norm, kimberly guilfoyle, we just -- i showed her briefly there. repeatedly pushed allegations of election fraud from just days after election day to hours before the deadly insurrection. she became a huge fundraiser for the stop the steal. here she is. >> this isn't something that's, you know, made up here. it's not fictitious. the bottom line is we will present compelling evidence that will be persuasive. >> look at all of us out here. god-loving, freedom-loving, liberty-loving patriots that will not let them steal this election. >> norm, how important is she? >> she's important, erin. what we've seen with the committee's investigation is that they are building a pyramid. at the top of that pyramid is the former-president donald trump. but with kimberly guilfoyle, who was a big part of start -- stop the steal, raised money, spoke at the insurrection tailgate on january 6th with eric trump, with the trump lawyers who were brought into it today. uh, all of the roads are pointing towards donald trump, himself. she was in that inner circle. she's very important. >> yeah, she certainly was. so, paula, let's talk about those lawyers. the other allies. the biggest day thus far that we know of in terms of names coming out. the lawyers, rudy giuliani, jenna ellis, sidney powell, the form former campaign leader. paula, what is behind strategy of so many names so close to trump coming out on one day like in? >> it makes a big splash, erin. coming out of the holiday weekend and making big news. a short time ago, i spoke with an attorney for rudy giuliani and he dismissed this as political theater. interestingly, erin, he said the committee did not come to his client to even seek his voluntary cooperation. but he also notes that his client potentially sidney powell and jenna ellis as well have not only attorney-client privilege claims they can make but also potentially executive privilege claims depend ongoing the materials and the situation. so, look, it's unlikely that they are going to get any information out of several of these witnesses. again, some people representing many witnesses have also complained that these letters go to the media before they go to the targeted witnesses but again this makes a big splash, lot of headline, it brings a lot of attention to the committee's important work. >> elie, you know, jenna ellis and sidney powell, obviously, put out a lot of complete falsehoods, right? i mean, you heard sidney powell saying votes were literally plucked. it just didn't occur, right? i it's false in every respect. but no one was a bigger supporter and known to more people of the big lie than rudy giuliani. right? so, he again and again would say trump won states he didn't win. he held that press conference at the four seasons landscaping right after the election. you think that he may be the one with the most to lose. why? and what might that mean given that we know he is not going to voluntarily cooperate here? >> right, erin, it's hard to think of people who have done more damage to this country over the last several years than rudy giuliani. he was one of the main people fanning the flames of the lie of election fraud. he abused his law license. and the accountability is starting to come for rudy giuliani in tangible ways. he has now had his law license suspended. he has been sued for big money by dominion and some of the other voting companies. and most worrisome, he is under criminal investigation by the u.s. department of justice, by the southern district of new york, the same office he used to work at decades later i worked at. this is one more thing for rudy giuliani that he is going to have to contend with. will he ultimately testify? i think it is highly, highly unlikely but the committee is absolutely right to put pressure on him because he was a central player behind this whole lie of election fraud. >> so, norm, when people hear this, they say okay, kimberly guilfoyle -- important and engaged to the former president's son. and the other son is also on this list. but when you see those names -- the first thing many of us noticed, norm, is that names are not ivanka trump, jared kushner, or donald trump jr. is it not going to be them? or is it not, yet, them? >> it's not yet them. erin, the -- the committee very adeptly is building the case. they talked about some of the public record evidence today in the letters to the lawyers. but they have piles of evidence -- approximately 400 interviews, thousands and thousands of documents -- and, um, we're not done with this. they are setting the stage, and it's legitimate for them to be advocating to the american people a terrible thing happened here. they are setting the stage for hearings and for reports. and so, we are in the final quarter now before those hearings start but we still have a ways to go. and i suspect we are gonna be seeing additional trump intimates, and then the ultimate question -- the ex-president himself. >> the ultimate question as you point out. thank you, all, very much. and next, we are following more breaking news. senate democrats just meeting, trying one more last time to salvage president biden's voting rights legislation. the vote is now coming any -- and, well, could be, you know, hours away here. we will see. were any minds changed?

>> well, the key point he made and you just played it is he doesn't want the 60 votes to close debate to go to 50 votes, also vice president to close debate. but the talking filibuster doesn't do that. it leaves in place the 60-vote requirement. it has the same rules of debate that you have at any point. what the talking filibuster changes is it says, okay, we've come to the point we need to focus on the question of final passage of the bill. you still take 60 votes to close debate or unanimous consent motion or break in the debate. and it's that break in the debate that hasn't been enforced previously. but that's what forces those who want to keep debating to debate. if there is a break in debate, the question gets called. and so, what we're proposing is exactly in line with what joe manchin said -- keeping 60 votes if you vote on an issue of closing debate. same rules of debate apply to the question of final passage of the bill. so, given it's the same thing he's arguing for, i hope we can get him to join us. >> so plet me just try to understand. the bottom line is when it comes to passing the voting rights bill, how many voel votes are you going to need to do that with your change? you going to need 60? going to need majority? >> under current debate, you have four options. a vote to close debate with 60 votes, unanimous consent agreement, a break in the debate, or something that's never happened in the history of the senate, exhaustion of two speeches under rule 19. those same four rules apply when you are debating final passage of a bill. same rules, 60 sloets, are still in place as a vote to close debate. >> right. i understand. but the only way you are going to get this bill passed is if you can do it by a simple majority. so you are -- you are fundamentally changing something. you are not going to pass voting rights with any kind of bipartisan scenario here. >> no, that's right. but what joe raised in your quote was thinking that we are changing the rules of debate. we are not changing the rules of debate. it's the same rules that have been there throughout our history, and that apply every day on the floor of the senate. >> so i understand what you are saying and i think you understand sort of what -- what i am trying to say here, which is that it does come down to how the senate should function to pass legislation. whatever the rules may be, whatever the machinations may be, does it need to be bipartisan or not? and i know you recently said -- i quote you, senator ---er the senate is broken. so, for you, a way to solve that is to try to make some of these adjustments. senator sinema agrees with you on the senate being broken. but when it dmcomes to these adjustments, she comes to the exact opposite conclusion despite seeing a dire problem in the senate. here she is on the floor. >> while i continue to support these bills, i will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country. the debate over the senate's 60-vote threshold shines a light on our broader challenges. there is no need for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. >> so she gets to the bottom line here. >> except, she also is under the same confusion. we are not changing the 60-vote rule. it's the same set of four options that exist in general debate. focused on the question of final passage. now, see. here's why. in the past, you had people exhaust amendments and you had a social contract and the social contract said when we have done with the amendments, we debate final passage and those four mechanisms applied. but now, and i hate to get into this messiness -- now, there is always an amendment pending because the senate has changed how it's operated in the last 20 years. so you can never get to the question of debating final passage. all the talking filibuster says keep the same four rules but have a debate on final passage like the senate used to have. >> so let me ask you another question here because i have now discussed the two individuals, right, that have -- that have stood between you and this, right? but -- and they are the face of it. however, congressman james clyburn says they are not alone, they have just taken the heat and that there are others who agree with them who are happy to not be in the spotlight right now but that your problem is much bigger than two. here is mr. clyburn. >> he doesn't have a vote in the senate. and we have got two senates on the democratic side and i am not sure it's only two. there are two everybody's focusing on. but i have been talking to some senators, and i'm not too sure that we don't have some others who will hide behind these two. >> is he right? there are others hiding behind them who agree? >> assurances to congressman clooi b clyburn, that in fact the entire caucus has said yes we should have a period of debate dedicated to final passage with the same rules we currently use. that is a very minor change that allows us to get to where the senate used to get. and -- and by the way, it has these powerful advantages. the secret filibuster we have now. the secret/silent filibuster. there is no public debate. it's invisible. deals are being done in the back room. if you want back-room deals, keep the current version of the silent, secret filibuster. but if you want the public involved, let's return to enforcing the point that you sustain the 60 votes by keeping people talking on the floor. the second thing is it does it increases negotiation. currently, the minority in our tribal-partisan divisions says, hey, if we can keep 41 people from voting to close debate, we can, thus, prevent the majority from ever enacting their agenda and testing it out and that's great for us because then the voters will throw them out. that temptation is so powerful that it's destroying the senate. so, the -- the talking filibuster gives an incentive to the minority to negotiate as well as the majority. takes us. >> i think, to where my colleagues from west virginia and arizona really want to go. >> well, senator merkley, appreciate your time and thank you for making your case and laying it out. thank you, sir. >> you are welcome. and next, a cnn exclusive. more than 120,000 russian troops, including infantry units currently practicing urban warfare -- these are some of the details in a new intelligence assessment on putin's military buildup on the ukrainian border we obtained. plus, verizon and at&t pause -- pause, not a halt -- a pause of 5g rollout near airports because airlines say that service could lead to serious safety concerns. we are taurk talking about airplanes here. droplets... ...swipe on in seconds. better. faster. 100% whiter teeth. shop crestwhitesmile.com. the living room slash yoga shanti slash regional office slash... and this is the basement slash panic room. maybe what your family needs is a vacation home slash vacation home. find yours on the vrbo app. amazing. jerry, you gotta to see this. seen it. trust me, after 15 walks... gets a little old. ugh are you taking a statin drug to reduce cholesterol?

this is their assessment, it's what they want the world to see but they say more than 127,000 russian troops are poised to invade. they have a count of another 35,000 fighters training right now in eastern ukraine, itself, to support russia. what are these troop levels mean when you think about putin's intent? >> erin, there is only -- there is only two options here. one is is that the russians are preparing for an invasion. and by the way, it's not -- it's not really that secret. these are -- certainly, the ukrainians have been able to collect good intelligence on this but it's also observable through other means and the russians are making no real attempt to hide it. so yeah, option a is an invasion of ukraine or some sort of military incursion. and option b is there is a school of thought this is -- this is still a bluff. that the russians are saying all the hard things, and making hard points on the ground by moving troops around and snipers and so forth but really, what they are doing is they are trying to push the west which they have judged to be weak at this particular point. not perhaps weaker than they, but weaker than we've been recently thanks in large part to a lot of things russia's been doing to try to divide our societies but i i this they are asking themselves or putin is asking himself what better time? so it is unclear. i don't know anybody knows exactly whether or not the russians are actually going to take military action and invade ukraine or whether they are doing some very strong saber rattling. >> the intelligence cnn obtained as has evidence putin could be planning to take the ukrainian capital, kyiv, and overthrow the government. obviously, kyiv is not by the border. i mean, i know everyone talks about coming down from belarus but it's not you just go over the border and get the capital, right? you got to come way in. so that's not just is a simple, quick thing to do possibly and certainly not with a lot of u.s. military weapons involved. "the new york times," though, reports russia is evacuating its embassy in kyiv. pulling out dozens of family members of the russian diplomats there. again, it could still be saber rattling. um, and you know the ukrainians have a point they want to make. but when you connect the dots as a former-moscow bureau chief, what do you see there? >> well again, it's -- it's really, really hard and -- and you know the classic intelligence challenge is how do you get into putin's brain? because i can guarantee you, he is the only guy who knows. the people around him don't necessarily know. doing things like drawing down your embassy, which -- which we have in new york types report that says that's happened. the russians of course came back quickly and said no, our operations in our embassy are normal. they didn't say, though, it's possible operations are normal but withdrawn family members. it is one thing that i think though is absolutely sure is frankly the time for sanctions, the time for any of these other mechanisms that we have talked about literally for years to try to stop russian bad behavior, it hasn't done so. and so we need -- we, the west, we nato, we, the united states, need to ask ourselves the question are we prepared to go to war with russia at this point? on the european don't tent. >> i mean, it is a pretty incredible thing and as you point out, you never know what he intends to do but it is hard to think of any other military that would be willing to put 160,000 troops around a border just, you know, just for nothing. all right. thanks. thanks very much, steve, appreciate your time. and next, major wireless companies now delaying the rollout of 5g service near airports by again, i am emphasizing delaying, not stop. it is because airlines have said that, well, it could put planes at risk. and new studies tonight detailing the concerning effects that school closures are having on children. i lost 26 pounds and i feel incredible. with the new personalpoints program, i answer questions about my goals and the foods i love. i like that the ww personalpoints plan is built just for me. download the ww app today for a 14-day free trial.

this became so personal and v vitriolic. >> yeah, thanks, erin, for having me on. um, you know, it is a little bit hard for me to answer the question of why. um, i -- i just know that, you know, i -- you know, it was quite a painful experience because there was, you know, a group of friends that, um, were the parents of some of my son's closest friends and they just stopped talking to me basically. um, you know, which -- which also has had the -- the effect of cutting off his access to some of his closest friends. so, um, you know, it -- it's been a pretty painful experience. personally, it's -- you know, although there is -- there's been a lot of vitriol online, it has had, you know, an -- an -- an effect in my life, as well. and i think that's partly why it felt so painful. >> well, you know, you write as a journalist -- you write very openly, um, about, you know, your politics and how you came into this and how you saw the world and how you felt about the world as someone who was deeply progressive. you know, when you look at in virginia, right, glenn youngkin and -- and his victory, which was, you know, in no small part, driven by how parents felt about schools. you talk about how you are now experiencing a political identity crisis as -- as a progressive democrat. due to your own party's response to school closures. um, you know, does this -- does this change how you see yourself? does this change how you possibly vote? >> um well, i -- i think i -- i'm not sure if i would say that it changes how i would vote, particularly, you know, in the national election. >> yeah. >> i still don't feel that i could, you know, ever support, you know, some of the enabling the -- that the republicans did with the last president and the whole host of other things that have taken place. more recently. um, but i think that -- i -- i think that the larger point is that a lot of democratic parents' trust have been eroded. um, and, you know, our -- our -- we felt that we were not able to rely on public schools anymore, which, you know, are very essential public good. and so, i -- i think one of the things that we would like is for democrats, you know, to acknowledge the harm that this has caused and not only to kids but to women and, you know, in the ways that gender equality has really been set back decades because of working moms having to stop working to help their kids with remote learning. um, so i think really, um, in order to, you know, get people like me really back onboard, you know, excited about supporting democrats. we want, you know, them to really commit to never doing this again where schools -- you know, schools need to be the last to close and the first to open. >> well, yeah, and it's -- it's really powerful. i hope that anyone who hasn't read your entire article does. you know, i found it really powerful and everyone i know did, as well. and people had different perspectives coming into it. so i really appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you so much, erin. >> all right. and next, the before and after images as we are seeing new pictures of the aftermath of that deadly and massive volcanic eruption. with endless views of snow-covered peaks.
