trial recorded short and his attorney leaving the federal courthouse last friday. just showing up. and short and jacob are the highest ranking trump administration officials known to have cooperated with the doj probe. both gave testimony to the january 6 committee and jacob, you will recall, was a live witness during a key hearing last month. meanwhile, member of the january 6 select committee congresswoman elaine luria revealed new testimony showing how former president trump edited a speech that was meant to condemn the insurrection. she tweeted this. it took more than 24 hours for president trump to address the nation again after his rose garden video on january 6 in which he affectionately told his followers to go home in peace. there were more things he was unwilling to say. here is some of the video testimony. i m not sure when those conversations began because they could have started early the next morning but i believe they started that evening, on the evening of t
move on with the transition. instead you re seeing trump saying that crossing out the terminology about the doj should come down with the full power on these insurrectionist and cross outlines that say these people are not indicative of his movement. and the question to jared kushner is why do you think they re crossed out and kushner has to say, i don t know. but the answer is frankly quite obvious and it is because the former president trump didn t want to say what those lines said. and so it does give you a little bit more insight into his mindset and to me gives us insight into where we might be going. but the other thing that struck me here, as i was talking on thursday night with people who used to be in the trump campaign orbit, they were watching and to them the things that they reacted to the most were the former president s own words. when we saw the outtakes for example of him doing that address on the 7th, that this draft remarks are reflective of,
speech. you said that almost unanimously the former president s 2020 campaign advisers say they view his obsession with the last election as a waste of time. that s almost unanimous among those who actually helped him run his 2020 campaign. anyone who was in his campaign orbit in 2020. maybe with the exception of one or two people. but, you know, i talked to dozens of folks who worked on the campaign and so did my colleagues. you cannot find many people who believe this is a good use of time or that it s a helpful cause. some trump supporters are calling for a coup, trump s former national security adviser michael flynn appeared to tell reporters that a myanmar like coup was essential in the u.s. brutally assaulted while protecting and defending the capitol building on january 6th is now responding to this nonsense. it s insane to hear that type
prosecute certain individuals in the trump campaign orbit. so we ll be waiting by for that. when i left here yesterday officials told me that william barr would be coming back here this morning. and he s working hand in hand with deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. the officials have been very clear to point that out because they want to show that the attorney general is not the filter here between mueller and the public. he s also working with rod rosenstein who know have been overseeing this from the early stages. i think they think that gives it an extra lay of transparency and when the attorney general has to decide what other pieces of information to share, he ll consult with robert mueller himself. for today, we are waiting for that summary. we expect it to be this afternoon. julie, any idea of if he s back inside the justice department as of yet? i have not spotted him coming in this morning that doesn t mean they re not here. there are floors above where we are in the m
