it s what it s telling mccarthy. telling him and the world that this is what we have. this is where we re going. there are footnotes everywhere in this letter that says documents on file with the select committee. they re massing evidence of what trump didn t do during the 187 minutes of the insurrection and that s significant. once again laying out something to tempt us with. bread crumbs if you will of what they know, jessica laid out at the end, the big question what does the committee do with this, knowing what they have? how far are they willing to go against one of their own? this is somebody who could become the leader of the house. if the house flips to the republican side in november. come those midterms. somebody who would be in a leadership position is now, frankly, on the republican side, and the american people have a right to know exactly what those conversations were like. as you point out, john, one of the more interesting parts mere
trump s white house who is apparently cooperating. press secretary kailee mcenany, appeared virtually before the committee yesterday. interestingly, hers are among the records that the committee is fighting in court to get from the national archives. so the committee getting some cooperation here. of course, they ve said they ve already talked to hundreds of people already, brianna. the question looms, will the committee ultimately resort to subpoenas for mccarthy, or the other two republican congressmen they want to talk to, jim jordan, scott perry, that all remains the big question here. will they move forward with any subpoenas here? brianna? he could have participated. could have had his party participating by appointing people not witnesses. not witnesses in all of this. thank you for the latest. joining us now, cnn correspondent, anchor of early start and attorney at law laura jarrett. laura, i truly think what s significant in this letter isn t what the committee is asking
killed ed halyna hutchins duri rehearsal in october. and introduced as the york yankees newest minor league manager. what she had to say about reactions to her new gig. the top republican in the house stiff arms the january 6th committee. what kevin mccarthy is now saying and what he said in the past. advisor will work witu on a comprehensive wealth plan across your full financial picture. a plan with tax-smart investing strategies designed to help you keep more of what you earn. this is the planning effect.

constitution and democracy, mccarthy knew at the time what the right thing to do was, and is essentially warning them, like so many other text messages we have seen from people who told one story in public and another story behind the scenes. i have to say, it isn t even mccarthy s state of mind that matters here. it s trump s state of mind, which this letter really i indicates the committee is digging into and what he did afterward. you heard liz cheney say a cover-up. public statements changed markedly since you met with trump at that meeting, or at any other time. did president trump or his representatives discuss or suggest what you should say publicly, or in any later investigation? that would be, laura, witness tampering. and getting to sort of obstruction of justice-type questions there. right? obviously, this is something that if if, you know could be within the purview of the justice department. right? if the president or former
president, his allies, actually trying to say, if you do this for us, mccarthy, then we ll do that. that sort of quid pro quo is all the type of stuff of interest to investigators and certainly of interest of the committee. but, again, the question is, if they don t get the answers to these questions, what do they do with that? do they have enough over the course of these six pages to say, this is pretty damning? or do they think they need to fill some gaps here? interesting to see what those documents in possession of the committee and these footnotes actually mean. laura jarrett, stick around. much more to ask you and coming up, we ll speak with people who have interviewed with the committee. over major news overnight. breaking overnight, in fact. k novak djokovic listed as the number one seed at the australian open. this happened overnight. waiting to see whether the
