election was stolen, if you believe what i believe and that s that we ll never have another fair election again, then like it s time to burn the house, you know, before giving it to the enemy. we re going to get the outcome we need. that outcome might lead to civil war. that will be sad. there s no circumstance that i think is legitimate that joe biden should enter the white house. i think the white house should burn down, you know, and i m not saying i m not telling anyone to, but i m just saying i literally believe that a bolt of lightning should hit the white house and light it on fire before it s handed over. alexander s attorney said he was joking and exaggerating in those clips. though it doesn t sound like it. alexander has not been charged or implicated in any unlawful act and has denied working with anyone to attack the capitol. he testified before the january
your response to what you just heard there? well, we know this was a nationally coordinated effort that hit michigan and many other states to subvert the will and nullify the are of the people in our state and, you know, remember this time in december of 2020, rudy giuliani had just come to michigan on december 2nd and testified before a, you know, sham legislative hearing throwing all of these false allegations at our elections process. there were also individuals who showed up outside our state capitol building the day the actually electors, the true electors met to certify and validate the electoral vote to send to washington and the national archives. so this was a follow-up on all of those things, and our responsibility now is to, you know, connect the dots for the federal investigators, for the january 6th committee, which is exactly how this has come out now. we sent this information to the committee. our attorney general has given it to the justice department. we ll be sendin
was asked about trump saying things to pence like we put this on screen you don t have the courage to make a hard decision, mike, it s not right. you can do this. i m counting on you to do this. if you don t do it, i picked the wrong man four years ago. he said trump did use words like that and he also testified at the end of the call that ivanka said mike pence is a good man. how critical is she as a bnwitns and how surprising it is that general kellogg was so helpful in this investigation? i find that to be very interesting. yeah, so the committee made clear in its letter to ivanka trump seeking her testimony they have good information from the inner inner sanctum here. they cite text. as to ivanka trump, it s hard to think of a more central witness. she was by the president s side before the coup attempt, specifically she was there for the attempts to pressure mike pence, during those crucial hours she was the one who people were coming to and saying, please try to talk some s
smarter. if ron desantis wants to put that election police force to good use, he might consider sending them over to mar-a-lago, you know, just ask a few questions about an attempted coup. yes, officer ron, i d like to report an insurrection, the one on january 6th. but all of this is why the various investigations into trump s actions leading up to and during the january 6th attack on the capitol are so monumentally important right now. the january 6th committee s probe is moving closer to trump focusing on the big names in his in inner circle, people like his daughter ivanka trump who received a letter from the committee asking for information about her father s actions in the days leading up to and on january 6th, and nen there s rudy giuliani, apparently he did more than hold a news conference at the four seasons total landscaping company. he was leading effort to have bogus electors send in fake certificates to the national archives falsely claiming trump won seven battleground
into your father. it didn t work. and then afterwards, tried to sort of cover it up and tidy it up. there s this bizarre assumption around ivanka trump she s sort of above it all. why should she not have to testify. she s not being asked for information because she s the president s daughter the she s being asked for information because she was a senior adviser. she took that job. she took that west wing office, and her spokesperson s response was very sort of blow offish, she doesn t feel like testifying. too bad. you take that job, you have a responsibility to come forward and i think it s fair for the committee to ask why not? why is she not willing to do this? yeah, elie, when i was reporting at the trump white house, you know, that was the thing that they kbrimpressed onl of us. ivanka trump is a real white house official here, not just the first daughter. you can t have it both ways. i also want to ask you about rudy giuliani. sources tell cnn that he oversaw this scheme to ins
