america, there is a group being targeted by the conservative movement to rollback your basic rights. it is right out of the authoritarian playbook, and now targeting librarians. this hour, the battle against freedom of choice in my home state of texas. republicans want to punish women who seek abortion care. we will talk to a texas democrat who is doing all she can to fight back. this is american voices. we start with breaking suit news out of uvalde texas. the texas house investigative committee today released a new report on the shooting at robb elementary that left 19 children and two teachers dead. last, our committee officials in uvalde had a press conference on their preliminary report. if there s one thing that i can tell you, it is that there were multiple systemic failures. i would invite everybody to read the entire report. you cannot cherry pick one sentence and use it to say everything without reading it all together, and with context. but if we need a simple ph
the january 6th hearing today. our continuing coverage along with our panel of parts, who i m going bring in in a moment. but what s going on today is another set of break-throughs in this set of hearings, include people naming names. we re learning which specific republican lawmakers were literally asking for last-minute pardons for their own conduct. the focus today is how the committee laid out this new evidence of donald trump s efforts to get people installed and promoted within the department of justice to carry out a coup. three doj officials testifying about what they did, including a tense oval office meeting with resignations with that coup plot moved forward. this was happening in the hairy days before january 6th and drew on testimony both live and in these video taped depositions like you see here. jeffrey clark, more on his liam problems in a moment, was the one that was going to be bodying up to take over the justice department for the explicit purpose of layin
to act on criminal contempt referrals for the former white house chief of staff and deputy chief of staff, a decision the january 6th committee calls puzzling. the committee will hold its first ever public hearing on thursday night. they plan to show previously unseen material documenting january 6th, call witnesses, and provide a summary of its findings so far. cnn has learned that two people directly tied to former vice president mike pence have received invitations to appear. this as a stunning report in the new york times says one day before pence certified the election, a top pence aide warned the secret service that trump was going to turn publicly against the vice president putting him in danger. the secret service disputes that account. of course we now know how january 6th unfolded. we want pence! we want pence! and joining me now is veteran democratic strategist james carville. great to see you. thanks for doing this. after the justice department made that ann
Case, they have pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other criminal charges. So, unity, i guess. Beyond that though, these 19 defendants are not exactly marching in lockstep. Five of trumps codefendants have filed to have their cases removed to federal court. They argument they are trying to make to ensure that that happens, those arguments do not look good for the former president. Take, for example, three of georgias alleged Fake Electors. David schaffer and kathy latham in sean still. They have all said in their court filings, their cases belong in federal court, because they were just, quote, acting to assist the president , or acting at the direction of the president.
