Lawmakers, the committee is pursuing the group, accidentally sending a letter to the wrong ceo in an attempt to stop data being being turned over the letter sent to the exceo was one of a dozen companies to defy the request to preserve phone records. This led to the question of what it it s mccarthy hiding? another question the democrats want to know was how deeply was the president involvement? you know what s interesting, that s where law enforcement goes. The fbi has investigated this. The senate had bipartisan committees and come back. You know what they have found? that there s no involvement. We re going to get reaction to that. The committee s bipartisan committee coming back pretty quickly. Bracing for the justice for january 6th rally, in support of the 500 plus rioters charged with crimes in the january 6th insurrection. Joining me, neal katyal and and susan del percio. I appreciate you joining me and laboring alongside me. Neil, i kind of want to get a fact check. The republ
In response to the committee asking telecom companies to preserve the phone records of at least 11pro trump lawmakers like marjorie taylor greene, kevin mccarthy released a statement warning the companies if they comply, quote, they are in violation of federal law and subject to losing their ability to operate in the united states if companies choose to violate federal law a republican majority will not forget and will stand with americans to hold them fully accountable under the law. Dadada. A fact check here, companies are not breaking the law by complying with a congressional request for records. The january 6 committee responded to mccarthy s attempt to bully private companies by saying this. Quote, the select committee is investigating the violent attack on the capitol and attempts to overturn the results of last year s election. We have asked companies not to destroy records that may help answer questions for the american people. The committee s efforts won t be deterred by those
Outfront tonight, self pe preservations and the truth. This vote has made it official. Donald trump s big lie has now fully enveloped on the republican party. Shame on the republican party because they are afraid of donald trump. Only six republicans sided with democrats. Many of the same people voting no today are the same republicans who were calling for a bipartisan investigation in the days after the deadly riot. Now, they turned their back on it. One republican, lisa murkowski is calling them out. To be making a decision for the short term political gain at the expense of understanding and acknowledging what was in front of us on january 6th. I think we need to look at that critically. Is that really what this us about that everything is one election cycle after another? apparently, yes. Lisa murkowski and five other republicans voted on the commission, pushed there by a bring. People like matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene swore their allegiance to one man, donald trump and th
Is, certainly who the modern gop is here in pennsylvania. Heck, one of the three people who went down there is the leading republican candidate for governor. These are folks who are dangerous. These are folks who are trying to undermine our democracy. If they were to go forward with this sham audit, they would have to go through me. They will not succeed, and they will be violating their oath of office and i believe also committing a very serious, unethical conduct. Well, according to emails released by a watchdog group late yesterday, the republican president of the arizona senate, karen phan, who ordered the ridiculous cyber ninja audit reportedly told constituents she was in cahoots with trump s personal attorney, rudy giuliani, and that then president trump personally called and thanked her for, quote, pushing to prove any fraud, which is an interesting way to phrase it. Speaking of rudy giuliani, in addition to making hourlong videos on ufos and schilling foam pillows, a federal j
We will see what the tally is, how this fits into calls for accountable beyond just the prosecutions that occurred. We ll have that all for you as it happens and unfolds, breaking news in our hour. Also, the other big story, the legal heat on citizen donald trump is hotter than ever as a measurable fact in new york. Under criminal investigation there. The new york attorney general confirming this and announcing in something that has shocked and angered trump world that she is formally joining the manhattan probe in a way that confirms it is a criminal probe of trump s business dealings, finances, everything going on. The ag s office alerted the trump orb to this fact. Up until this point, outsiders viewed what was going on at the attorney general s office as primarily or likely a civil matter. This is a criminal probe. That means depending on where it heads that people could wind up in jail. Now, we don t know who this probe is specifically targeting right now. Prosecutors certainly ar
