upstairs. friday, friday. have a good show, alex. the very bad news for donald trump is that rudy giuliani has finally, today, learned to talk like a lawyer again. today, for the first time in years, rudy giuliani did not sound like a hallucinating mad man when he walked into the fulton county courthouse in georgia to testify to a grand jury. he did not sound like someone willing to tell any lie for donald trump. he didn t sound like someone ready to take any legal risks for donald trump. not anymore. not now that he has been formally declared a target of the grand jury s criminal investigation of exactly what rudy giuliani did for donald trump in georgia. the rudy giuliani you are about to see is truly shocking now. but it is the way rudy giuliani often handled press questions when he was a federal prosecutor in manhattan in the 19 80s. today, with rudy giuliani clinging to the wreckage of his legal career with his law license suspended, pending possible permanent disb
two secret service sources have confirmed to cnn that donald trump did angrily demand to be taken to the u.s. capitol as rioters, may i say, armed rioters, approached capitol hill and he berated his protective detail when he did not get his way. this is significant because it corroborates some of the testimony from cassidy hutchinson on tuesday which trump and his allies have been trying to discredit. the president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. mr. engel grabbed his arm, said, sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. we re going back to the west wing. we re not going to the capitol. mr. trump then used his free hand to lunge towards bob by engel and when he recounted this story to me he had motioned towards his clavicles. let s start with the new reporting. cnn congressional correspondent ryan nobles has it. what are you learning? yeah, that s right, victor. this comes from two different sources within the se

infamous insurrection. she drew on the front row seat to provide new damning details of the attempted coup. today, this was the sixth insurrection hearing. we tried to cover them precisely. the first hearing detailed violent crimes by many, though sometimes without clear causal links to trump. another hearing shows the liability of trump appointees and lawyers raising questions about donald trump s own role. other hearings featured republicans from pence s office at the state level and on this program we report how some parts of some of those hearings did fall short. those hearings all had in their own way very important material, but not every hearing has been a blockbuster when it comes to evidence. today s hearing delivered the evidence. firsthand smoking gun evidence on trump s mind and overt acts for violence in the attempted coup. let me repeat that reporting up front. proving crime requires proving the state of mind and overt action. today s hearing features and featur
