closed captioning, brought to you by mesobook.com. this is just in to cnn. the source come from the federal grand jury investigating january 6th has subpoenaed the former white house counsel, pallone. abc news was first to report that. cnn has now confirmed that, as well. abby phillip, david axelrod, all back with me here. thanks so much for joining. this is big news. what say you, david? i think we have seen, over the last couple of weeks, this escalation in this grand jury process. that is separate and apart from all of the doj investigations and prosecutions into those that actually stormed the capitol and broke into the capitol. this is now has been and we have seen as aids were called in, what have you, the inter-sanctum. we don t get more inner sanctum than the white house counsel. right. we know, through testimony given to the january 6th committee, running down the hall to the oval office to try and stop meetings from progressing, who was trying to get the
investigation. join, once again, by ari melber, nicole reid, lawrence o donnell, you talk to pete aguilar about this in your show. i think, because the point you are making, is the secret service, you don t want to get this wrong. do you think the secret service lie to you? well, they weren t truthful. will you refer to lying to congress? it is a tool in trump s toolkit. roger stone deployed, at the time, michael cohen deployed it, before he saw the light, if you will. so, they left that very much open. i think their strategy, this is about ornato, and angle, and they think they were lied to. there is also a question, that they put together is an important movement to trump to the capitol at 1:55, and they aren t saying publicly where that was to protect, trump or pence. so, remember, on the fifth, mark sure has a mirroring meeting, and they penned the secret service agent. they say, pence is in danger tomorrow. it s a would-be goldberg seen
those answers, or are they will going to be able to negotiate some point, where they agree on what cipollone will and will give them? if they go to the courts, a, that will be a high-stakes battle, and can take quite a while. i can take months. elliott, this does escalate. this takes it to a whole new level. if you have the former white house counsel being subpoenaed, this really ratchets things up. yeah. there s no question about it. when we add this to what we already know about the committee, they are speaking with him. this is a next level up from mark sure, from greg jacob. this is the white house counsel. he is an older rooms for all the big meetings. so, yes, this is another sign of just how serious and how focused the doj is not just on the white house, but the interest income of the trump white house all right. thank you very much. i appreciate that, elliott. again, abc news, the first to report for the general grand jury, the former trump white house counsel, pat cipoll
we really have not discussed that yet and we are not there yet, but the committee is very focused on the outbreak of violence and what were the intimations of violence? it was the planning for violence that took place among some of the most domestic extremist groups, including some of those that have been prosecuted and some of the people who have decided to cooperate and turn to states evidence. we are trying to put that together. this was a marriage between and inside political coup at the highest levels of the administration, with street thugs and hooligans and neo-fascists. it is striking reading some of the tax and we will talk about some of those from the chief of staff. it is very clear that mark meadows is essentially the intermediary for much of this discussion. he is the person that has next to the president. his own son, desperately texting mark meadows to try to get to his dad. so, his testimony or lack thereof, his refusal to comply
