this is raising serious allegations of abuse of power. did lightning strike twice? or is there something more nefarious going on here? alas former fbi counterintelligence agent, peter shout. later, is donald trump s greatest criminal vulnerability george s investigation into 2020 election interference? after a slew of subpoenas targeting some of trump s closest allies, that the da is not ruling out the trump could be next. i ll talk to a georgia state senator who testified before the fulton county grand jury. all of that and more is coming up. good morning and, happy sunday to you all. i am katie fang. let s start our show with the latest headlines. the next january six hearing is a little more than 48 hours away. tuesday s hearing is set to focus on potential white house links to far-right extremist groups like the proud boys and the oath keepers. msnbc s political reporter julie adjuster is live on capitol hill. good morning, julia. what can we expect from tuesday? that s
agent, peter strzok. peter, good morning. always a pleasure to have you here. andrew mccabe said that he only learned that jim comey was also be not adaptive being contacted by the time. so let s take a quick listen. i had no idea until the reporter from the times for judge to me. it was a bit of a shock i, have to tell you. it was discouraging, really. for me, this is the latest in what has been a long saga of being targeted by the former administration. peter, this audit story, may have become another chapter in this saga of how the trump administration worked to destroy america s faith and its institutions and to cripple our trust in the government? well katie, it s really sad that we have to be asking that question with a great deal of curiosity about whether or not a fact that happens. these are, as you pointed out, extraordinarily rare.
audit is finished, i ll release my returns. i ll be very proud to. as i told you then, i never believed it. i never believed there was an audit. i immediately started asking donald trump and the trump campaign to produce the audit letter that begins every audit. a letter from the irs saying they are auditing donald trump s tax returns. that letter wouldn t tell us anything that s in his tax returns. it s a simple one-page letter everyone under audit gets. it s one of the many reasons donald trump would never be interviewed on this show, the audit letter that probably didn t exist, and where he was interviewed, the interviewers didn t know about audit letters, so the news media let it slide and slide and slide. but congressman jimmy gomez never forgot about the audit story. mr. cohen, do you know whether president trump s tax returns were really under audit by the irs in 2016? i don t know the answer. i asked for a copy of the audit so that i could use it in terms
tax returns. that audit wouldn t tell us anything that s in hi tax returns, it s a simple one-page letter that everyone under audit gets. it s one of the many reasons donald trump would never be interviewed on this show, the audit letter that probably didn t exist, and where he was interviewed, the interviewers didn t know about audit letters, so the news media let it slide and slide and slide. but congressman jimmy gomez never forgot about the audit story. mr. cohen, do you know whether president trump s tax returns were really under audit by the irs in 2016? i don t know the answer. i asked for a copy of the audit so that i could use it in terms of my statements to the press and i was never able to obtain one. he obviously means he asked for a copy of the audit letter since there is no copy of an actual audit.
