reporter: good morning, christine and laura. the house investigation committee has issued a newest subpoena against phil wall drone, a retired colonel who circulated misinformation fraud and details to undermine the 20120 election outcome. this 30-page document was circulated to trump allies and even lawmakers on capitol hill. waldron previously told the new york times he did not directly send the document to then white house chief of staff mark meadows, but did say it was possible someone on his team passed it along. separately he told the washington post he spoke with meadows maybe eight to ten times, and visited the white house on multiple occasions after the 2020 election. we ve interviewed over 300 people and i know, you know, things like meadows contempt and bannon contempt get a lot of attention as they should. but there s a lot of people that are giving us a lot of information and this can be a key piece to that. but there was this kind of fever pitch to not accept the
