driven, serious write down the middle, honest person, extremely well-regarded, the quality of his work, he was always truthful with the president, and he was very clear with the president on election night that he did not think it was a good idea to announce a victory, that it was too early to make any determination, and that the wise course would be to advise the public that they had campaigns, and let s wait to see what happen. the president did not take that advice, but that was the advice he was given. i understand he is representing a number of candidates, some of whom have been pushing that election live. do you think that could be a conflict of interest, or is he advising those candidates for seeking congressional office, that that s maybe not the route to take? likes the way he conducts himself is by following the members and being truthful and accurate about where they are. he has been very clear about his view as to what happened in the 2020 election and you c
nevada. bill: we ll try to get a fair debate here soon. we ll see what happens in nevada on tuesday. thanks. thanks. dana: house committee investigating the january 6 riot at the u.s. capitol will soon hold its second in a series of public hearings today. they plan to focus on president trump s claims of voter fraud and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. welcome to a new hour of america s newsroom. i m dana perino. good morning. bill: i m bill hemmer. that hearing delayed a bit as one witness, former trump campaign manager can t testify. he has a family emergency. won t testify today we should say. lawmakers plan to present evidence aimed at showing president trump spread false information to cast doubt on the election. what democrats are calling the big lie. protests take place outside the u.s. supreme court less than a week after the assassination attempt targeting justice brett kavanaugh. an event largely ignored by the networks. brit hume last hour w
stepian s recorded deposition to try to establish key facts about today s theme, the big lie, that donald trump knew he lost election, but continued anyway to rally his supporters around the false claim that he had won. we re also moments away from the supreme court releasing new decisions possibly on the key mississippi abortion case. we ll bring you any of the big cases as we learn about them. let s start with today s hearing because this missing stepian throws a wrench into the committee s plans after laying out how this would play out during the first prime time hearing last week. indeed, it does. because as we ve seen before, in-person testimony is so much more powerful even than the clips they showed of ivanka trump, for instance, on thursday night as we were showing on friday in the hearings. so the appearance in person would have been much more impactful. of course we re excited for them and his wife and their impending new baby, but that is the reality of what ha
here he is unsparing in his rejection of trump and giuliani s election fraud delusions. i told them that the stuff that his people were shoveling out to the public was bull [ bleep ]. that the claims of fraud were bull [ bleep ], and you know, made a statement about that, but i reiterated that they wasted a whole month on these claims on the dominion voting machines and they were idiotic claims. i specifically raised a dominion voting machines which i found to be among the most disturbing allegations and disturbing in the sense that i saw absolutely zero basis for the allegations, but they were made in such a sensational way that they obviously were influencing a lot of people, members of the public, that there was this systemic corruption in the system and that their votes didn t count and that these machines controlled by somebody else were actually determining it which was complete nonsense, and it was being laid out there, and i told him that it was that it was stuff
probably laughing himself to sleep at night, well, i got the clintons on the front page and she s a target now. no truth? no problem. rove now suggesting hillary clinton had brain damage was inappropriate and didn t have an ounce of truth, but as long as it made headlines, he didn t care. he also reportedly said clinton was in the hospital for a month when it was really just a few days. and even last night, he wouldn t back down. i read your comments she wasn t in the hospital 30 day, she was in the hospital four days. she did come out wft glasses you referenced. nobody knows for sure what happened here. what was it you did say, what were you communicating? here s the deal. this is a 30-day-long episode. three days or 30 days? it doesn t matter to the gop smear machine. they don t need facts. they just need to put this poison into the ground water. now right wing pundits are even demanding to see her medical records. i think it s fair game for us to be able to look a
