committee chair bennie thompson wants to know what mccarthy talked about with trump and trump s staffers as the riot was unfolding. there is a lot we don t know, but here is what we do know, mccarthy said himself that he spoke with trump on the phone during the riot and as nbc news reported last year, it did not go well. the sources telling us mccarthy was shaken up by what happened and the republican leader telling trump himself on the phone, who the f do you think you re talking to? well, things are changed. now mccarthy is slamming the committee s probe saying their probe is an abuse of power and do not forget exactly one year ago he publicly blamed the former president for the riot and he called on the house to censure trump. the president bears responsibility for wednesday s attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding.
moment. some really significant breaking news just came across. we now know the fbi is still talking to the suspect inside, that is a significant development. he has been inside the synagogue for five-plus hours now. and the colleyville police department just put out a statement saying there have been no injuries reported at this time. so that is a very welcome development. no injuries reported at this time. still a very, very, very, very tense and dangerous situation with four people being held hostage by this arm hostage-taker. let s go to our senior justin correspondent evan perez. there is a lot we don t know. we don t know who is being held. we don t know the hostage-taker s name. what are you hearing from your fbi sources? one of the good signs at this stage, poppy, is the fact that according to colleyville police department, they say the fbi is still, the fbi crisis negotiators are still in contact

no. we don t know that yet. if the rumors that we re hearing are true and they resigned because they were not happy with the direction that the da bragg was leaning in, that s extremely significant. that would signal very bad news for criminal prosecution and i can t emphasis enough just how unusual that would be for a brand new district attorney to turn his back on an investigation this far down the track to overturn the recommendations of the prosecutors who have been working on it, closest to it. that would be highly unusual. one republican, one democrat. never saw that happen. great deference is given to that and council to janet reno, there s enormous deference given to the career prosecutors. there s a lot we don t know. it could be incredibly damming but there s so much we don t know.
