but congress is all ready balking. questioning if americans will get relief from record fuel prices. as gun violence rages, the senate appears poised to pass the first gun safety legislation in decades. but there are major hurdles ahead as house republican leaders are mobilizing against the bill. we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world, i m wolf blitzer, you re in the situation room. we expect to see more disturbing testimony tomorrow when the january 6th select committee takes a deep dive into then president trump s attempts to influence the u.s. justice department but tonight there are new questions. very serious questions about testimony we ve all ready seen from a key witness, ivanka trump. here s our justice correspondent, jessica schneider. tonight, new evidence is emerging as the january 6th committee prepares to hold its fifth public hearing tomorrow. that new information includes extensive footage from a british film maker. who

[ inaudible ]. was it worth it, kim? can you established closer to the mike just to talk about the experience of the last few days? she s going to do that at the appropriate time. kim has gone through an incredible amount and today has been an emotional day. she had no idea this was coming and she s just now had a few moments to spend with joe. what about the supporters and the people at the rally? she will speak and give thanks to those who are here who came to the rally. she s not going to speak about the substance of the case. not violating your conscience doesn t answer the question. you ll find out in the near future.
standing by in the crowd. get in my ears and tell me if martin is available to chat. martin is ready. there we go. it s a big crowd. what s the tick tock? when will we hear from kim davis? do we know? she s already come out and already spoke. it was really very low key. this took place not at the podium but actually behind the podium. it was the cnn crew that was there and i m told by alexandra field that essentially she looked rather shaken, definitely overwhelmed. she was there with her attorney and also with mike huckabee and she was asked will she be going back to work. it sounded like it will be a day or two. and then she was asked if she had changed her mind in any way and shook her head no and said she had not. so that was the end of it. she has then left. so clearly all of this has been
