outfront tonight, new evidence, january 6th committee abruptly scheduling a hearing for tomorrow. last week, said no additional hearings until next month and then suddenly a hearing scheduled for tomorrow as the committee released only a brief statement, including quote, recently obtained evidence and witness testimony. this is a very sudden reversal for the committee and it comes at an important context. we just learned federal agents seized the phone of trump s election attorney, john eastman, man who presented trump a road map for overturning the election. someone who was right there, front and center, in trump s ear in the days and weeks ahead of the deadly insurrection. and someone who was working the phones for trump. so his phone is now seized. here s just some of the testimony we ve heard so far about the importance of john eastman. and what it, dr. eastman want you to do? that we would in fact vote, take a vote, to overthrow, or i shouldn t say overthrow that w

donalds do, the florida republican, the person nominated to run, the person siphoning off the 20 votes all day today, will he continue to be a candidate tomorrow? i asked mccarthy if he has asked donalds to drop out of the race. he said, no, he hasn t. donalds told me that he planned to talk to mccarthy today. that discussion will be critical to ultimately getting a resolution. mccarthy knows he has no margin for error here. they believe at the moment things are moving in their direction after days of losing vote after vote after vote. they believe they could potentially get there as soon as tomorrow. manu, thank you so much. let s dissect, dana bash, i will start with you, this it sounds as obscure but it s important. there s supposedly an independent leadership pac that kevin mccarthy endorsed. there s no coordination. mccarthy people work there.
divide in the republican party just absolutely exploded. then paul ryan became speaker. now has become a pariah to this wing of the party. now here s kevin mccarthy was standing with them at the beginning of his career. he tried to reinvent himself. they still think that he is the guy on the cover of that book. just to make sure people understand, or people notice, that s kevin mccarthy there on the left side of your screen as republicans vote to adjourn until noon tomorrow. da dana bash, kevin mccarthy has gone from smylilesmiling, happy warrior, to very glum expressions on his face. yeah. to touch on what you were asking congressman sessions about, which is the notion of why we re seeing this motion to adjourn right now, there s no question that it is because kevin mccarthy doesn t want another embarrassing vote, because if they don t adjourn, which might
