sources. you have no reporting. what are you learning? first of all, let s put it out there, this is bad news for donald trump. so in addition to what congresswoman cheney said, a person with knowledge of the investigation has told me the january 6th committee has information from multiple sources with firsthand knowledge. so not just one source, and that these sources describe what the president was saying, doing and not doing during the riot. the source said there s a collection of people with relevant information. translation? firsthand indicates someone with direct contact or knowledge. it could be someone who is in the room, someone on the phone, someone with direct firsthand information. bottom line, the committee has broken through trump s wall. right, and jamie, do you have

any indication as to who some of these people might be? so we don t know about a lot of people, more than 300 people have testified, but there s one witness who has publicly given a deposition to the committee, that s keith kellogg, former vice president mike pence s national security adviser, who was actually with trump in the white house when the riot was going on. the national security adviser, the normal one robert o brien, was on the road. so kellogg was filling in. our colleague reached out to kellogg who told him he confirmed that he testified under oath to the january ofth comm 6th committee and cooperating but declined to comment about the substance of his deposition. kellogg is considered interesting because he s a trump loyalist and also a retired
