his fight over a subpoena all the way to the supreme court. plus, new audio tonight in outfront from the front lines. newly drafted russian soldiers saying they haven t been paid, they have no helmet, no flack jackets and no basic training. and he is the world s richest man by a long shot. is he about to have maijor influence on two massive global conflicts? why the biden administration is now considering teaming up with elon musk. it is exclusive cnn reporting this hour. let s go out front. good evening. i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, trump subpoenaed. the january 6th committee in its most aggressive move yet officially serving the former president with a subpoena for documents and testimony about the insurrection. it is a ten-page document. got it here. and it lays out the committee s findings. it makes it clear, they say, that trump is the, quote, central figure in the committee s investigation. they say, and i quote, we have assembled overwhelming evidence
you know, he seems quite proud of himself in that recording. if he doesn t have anything to hide, then he shouldn t have any trouble coming and telling us his side of this story. but he s behaving as if he is somebody who wants to hide the truth. i want to show you something that your fellow committee member, adam kinzinger, said about what the republican posture and sort of pr is in terms of security. don t let my side use the security posture as the strawman argument in this. the reality is that is the equivalent of blaming the victim of a crime for the crime. and while it is important, that s not what we re here to talk about today. madam speaker, voting on a criminal contempt resolution is not the position we hoped to be in, but steve bannon went out of his way to earn this resolution before us and now we must approve it.
guard. i thank the gentleman for yielding. don t let my side use the security posture as the straw man argument in this. the reality is that the equivalent of blaming the victim of a crime for the crime, and while it is important, that s not what we re here to talk about today. madam speaker, voting on a criminal contempt resolution is not the position we hoped to be in, but steve bannon went out of his way to earn this resolution before us, and now we must approve it. mr. bannon s willful disregard for the select committee subpoena demonstrates his utter contempt for the american people s right to know how the attacks on january 6 came about. he has advanced a ludicrous legal argument in support of his decision not to corroborate or comply, a decision that defies the rule of law and the american people. mr. bannon s actions put him in the center of the investigation surrounding january 6. his own words strongly suggest

happens again. that was what they kind of kept hammering but for some reason they don t think that steve bannon though he telegraphed he did know something the day before january 6th should be called. you know, i think that it probably can t be easy to be congressman adam kinzinger or liz cheney today but i just want to play what adam kinzinger said about his republican colleagues. as a republican, don t let my side use the security posture as the straw man argument in this. the reality is that is the equivalent of blaming the victim of a crime for the crime. and while it is important, that s not what we re here to talk about today. madame speaker, voting on a criminal contempt resolution is not the position we hoped to be in but steve bannon went out of his way to earn this resolution before us and now we must approve it. your thoughts, margaret?
