The doj under trump secretly seized the apple data of democrats as part of an effort to track down leaks. And now new calls for new investigations, new testimony from trump s former attorneys general and it now looks like an inspector general investigation just got the green light. Here s what we know about this. Cnn is learning that prosecutors in the trump justice department subpoenaed apple for data from the accounts of at least two prominent democrats on the house intelligence committee. Chairman adam schiff and congressman eric swalwell, along with their staff, some family members, even a minor. We are told. The doj, a department which is intended to defend the interests of the united states, not a president or an administration, was looking for sources of leaks behind news stories about contacts between russia and trump associates. And just moments ago the deputy attorney general lisa monaco asked for the doj inspector general to investigate the handling of this probe. Let s dive
think about that. you want to talk about diversity? here it is. it has been hard to come in to work this week not only for me but for so many of us here at cnn. my colleagues, more than 3,000 of us. let me just say this to my colleagues who may not have been here as long as i have, the younger folks who haven t weathered these storms i ve been at this network almost 16 years. we have been through ups and downs, ratings high, ratings low, everything. regime changes. we ve been through a lot. through it all our mission has remained the same. to deliver the facts, deliver the news. it is what we did when ted turner turned the lights on here. it is what we did through two gulf wars, through 9/11, through katrina, through an insurrection. jeff zucker may not have launched this network but he revived it and made it relevant again. he steadied it for the last decade. he left us with a very good blueprint going forward. so for all of you at home watching, you should know that i and m
i m erica hill. welcome to cnn newsroom. i m victor blackwell. breaking news. the january 6 committee just subpoenaed donald trump. this historic move stems from their investigation into the attack on the u.s. capitol. cnn received a copy of the panel s letter and subpoena moments ago. the committee voted unanimously to compel trump to testify under oath and provide documents about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. if the former president fights the subpoena the court battle could outlast the committee s mandate. cnn justice correspondent evan perez and political correspondent sara murray joining us now. evan, what is the committee saying here? the subpoena is demanding the former president produce documents by november 4th. this is everything related to his effort to overturn the 2020 election results. they re asking also for him to appear for a deposition on november 14th app nd to provide testimony to the committee. that could go beyond that single day accor

Substantial side effects that can delay bringing forward research that can, in fact, identify a new treatment. how does it cdelay? two ways, if people with alzheimer s think there s already a good treatment they may not volunteer for other studies. new studies that go forward typically take a new drug and compare it to a placebo or enactive drug. in this case, if this is approved, or has been approved, now studies will have to compare to this drug. that can give you a very biased analysis of a new drug. the second problem is not only do we have loss of enthusiasm for potential volunteers for studies, but we may have loss of enthusiasm from the nih and other people who fund this type of research thinking well there s already something there, we don t need to move forward so our momentum could be
