a source familiar with the matter tells nbc news smith is overseeing the dual probes involving pence s former boss regarding the classified documents trump took with him to mar-a-lago and the january 6th attack on the capitol. we do not know exactly why he has subpoenaed pence and if it is in reference to one or both of these probes but when a former vice president of the united states is subpoenaed, it is a big deal. according to abc news which was the first to report this news, it follows months of negotiations between federal prosecutors and pence s legal team. not surprising, but spokespeople for both the former vice president and the special counsel have declined to comment. joining me now is my colleague and anchor of the beat, ari melber. peter strzok, former fbi counterintelligence agent, and charles coleman, former prosecutor. ari, i m going to start with you. it is a big deal, but not a specifically big deal because we don t know exactly what these probes are abou

ways i hope your subcommittee will investigate. of course, jim jordan isn t going to do that, nor will he investigate how trump s weaponization culminated in using the justice department to try to overturn an election. this is nothing more than republicans nursing their own weird incessant self pity and self victimization. their anger that their cultural priorities are not mainstream or that their favorite conspiracies are not believable. it s all designed to turn a government platform into an ax grinding farce. the white house called it out for what it is, there fox news reboot of the house un-american activities committee with a political stunt that weaponizes congress to carry out the priorities of extreme maga republicans in congress. now, with that in mind, republicans invited right wing media favorites fox new talking head and former congresswoman tulsi gabbard, chuck grassley, and ron johnson. if you don t watch fox news, or read breitbart or the daily caller, you would probab
