way that they know who this informant might be if there is one? no, they don t say who this person might be and how that person might have come to know that information. the feature of mar-a-lago and of trump world, as you know, is that there weren t a lot of checks on people coming and going in that circle. so there s just many, many people, we ve been making calls, and there s a number of people that come to mind when you talk to people about who this could be. the idea, kim, of who could ve had access, who could ve seen something in some way, or have been witness to something, is really curious here. as evan points out, this investigation, the timeline alone, has been going on for over a year. there was a june of this year, june meeting at mar-a-lago, between trump s lawyers. and then this search happened. something had to have happened in that time to go from this conversation, the idea of discussions happening to an unannounced execution of a search warrant at the es
conceding her race on tuesday. she is one of ten house republicans who voted to impeach trump. now seven of them have lost primaries, or chosen to retire. and congresswoman liz cheney of wyoming faces her own tough primary battle next week. so the big question is, what does all of this tell us about the future of the republican party? joining me now, lieutenant governor of georgia, jeff duncan, and cnn commentator se. glad to see you today, this is the question on everyone s mind. the lieutenant governor, because the defeat of herrera butler is seen as a win for trump, in a primary that was all about her vote for impeachment. i m wondering what does that say to you that people who essentially set up in that way, who voted their conscience, which is i guess what you want your leaders to do, and did the right thing to suggest that she vote that way, why are they the ones playing the price?
dangling pardons is that it interferes with the administration of justice. and, you know, yes, it s true he might not be president. but, i mean, again, i think s.e. is so right about this, that it s all about him. and, you know, the tragedy for his supporters, and if you read the interviews with some of the the fbi agents interviews with some of these people arrested on january 6th, some of the people said i wanted to help trump. i thought we were doing what he wanted. and he has done nothing for them, ever, including paying the legal fees of the people closest to him. he doesn t even do that. so, you know, it s just because you might not he might not become president, it doesn t mean that this isn t an attempt to interfere with the legal system. . i just want to read quickly this statement again that the
you think he s getting at there. reporter: i think he is inciting racial division. he is pointing out his prosecutors are black. presumably he s asserting that they are after him because he s white. but i think it s mostly just stirring up his supporters for racial resentment, which is something he s done throughout his career, long before he was president. and i think that s the beginning and end of his agenda. he s trying, s.e., to sow a persecution complex, which we ve seen. it can be very effective. we are seeing that as part of the strategy not just in this speech but in a number of things that trump and the gop are pursuing to motivate voters. well, yeah. part of the cultism of trump, he is the central figure. nothing else matters. including democracy and the
insane that he hasn t been charged with something yet. yeah. especially when we have seen a lot of charges, just not when it comes to him directly. s.e. and jeffrey, thanks to both of you. the matchup for super bowl lvi is set. the bengals will face the rams after a pair of thrilling conference championship games. good football has just been the name of the game lately. reporter: brianna, we have been so spoiled leading up to super bowl lvi. it has been incredible. what a turnaround for the senate bengals. they won just two games two seasons ago. they had the worst record in the league. but they got joe burrow. we should have all known the bengals were going to win the game when burrow showed up to the stadium like this. but they needed a huge comeback to get it done. 21-3 at one point.
