Reporter the January 6th Committee is zeroing in on President Trumps attempt to seize state Voting Machines in an effort to overturn the president ial election, trying to use the most powerful agencies of the federal government. Trump first went to the Justice Department, but theattorney general barr refused, according to sources familiar with trumps demand. Next her turned to the department of Homeland Security. Abc news has confirmed a New York Times report that trump instructed to Rudy Giuliani to talk to a top dhs official. And as i first reported in my book betrayal, top trump aide Johnny Mcentee personally called the acting secretary of Homeland Security chad wolf. The president is upset, he told wolf. He doesnt understand why you havent gotten control of the Voting Machines. Wolf said he did not have the authority to take machines owned by the states. Trump also considered an Executive Order allowing the pentagon to use military forces to seize Voting Machines, an idea pushed by his former National Security adviser michael flynn, who at the time was publicly calling for martial law. He could take military capabilities and basically rerun an election in each of those states. Reporter as the investigation continues, the committee is literally piecing together documents from the trump white house. Some of them have arrived in pieces. The National Archives explaining in a statement the documents were, quote, torn up by former President Trump. Tearing up papers is a longstanding trump habit. Of course, destroying president ial records is a crime. And the committee is now attempting to put the documents back together. In a bizarre written statement today, trump called on the January 6th Committee to investigate mike pence for refusing to go along with trumps order that he reject biden electoral votes from states biden won, sending them back to those states for reconsideration.

Now, worlds matter, and minetex. I r i said and i stand corrected. I also stand with the jewish people as they know and yall know, because ive always done that. Reporter 6 million yjews wee killed in the holocaust. That might not fit exactly or feel different than the way we think about race in 21st century america, where primarily its about people of color, but throughout the jewish peoples history, they have been marginalized, they have been persecuted, they have been slaughtered, in large part, because many people felt they were not just a different religion, but indeed a different race. Reporter so far, no comment and david, jews are just 2 of the u. S. Population, but according to the fbi, roughly 60 of religiousbased hate crimes targeted jews.
