presidential muscle or areas of the country where people in the country are more enthused about the president. thanks for joining us. following a massive development in the january 6th investigation, shattering the notion that the attacks were la normal tourist visit. soon, the leader of the far right extremist group the oath keeplers face a federal judge as he and ten others now face seditious conspiracy charges. plus, what does the house minority leader have to hide? kevin mccarthy still refusing to cooperate despite previously saying that trump told him he was at least partially responsible for the attacks. we ve got the sound and we ll bring you exactly what mccarthy said next. you re in the cnn newsroom. stay right there. i lost 26 pounds and i feel incredible.
assume the presidency, quote, we will have to do bloody, massively bloody revolution against them. that s what s going to have to happen. according to prosecutors, ana, even after january 6th, after the after the insurrection, the riot at building, the capitol building, they went back to virginia and and continued to plot for what they said was going to be civil war 2.0. again, this is from the court documents. wow, and we have this just in to cnn, trump s former acting defense secretary, christopher miller we re learning is meeting virtually right now with the january 6th committee. what more do you know? yeah, christopher miller, if you remember, was installed after the election, ana, and we this is he s an important witness for this committee because he can tell them a little bit about his conversations with the former president about getting the national guard sent to washington to the capitol to help protect that building. one of those conversations about, again, this
to overwhelm barricades and police and strategically provide cover for them, so when trump was exhorting his followers to go to the capitol to, you know, march on these legislators, he was at least indirectly helping this event unfold so i think mccarthy definitely needs to clarify what he meant when he was saying that trump is responsible. and in that same kerm radio interview, norm, mccarthy also said he spoke to the president during the riot, calling on him to bring in the national guard. since he discussed the contents of those conversations publicly, norm, can his house colleagues force him to testify? what are the next steps? well, it is customary when there is a matter of urgency for the house, the usual example is ethics violations, ana, for the
