incorporated in a much larger bill, which is the bill that is protecting american democracy because that s really what s at stake here is a subpoena compliance bill, so democrats even with a democracy in the white house, are prepared to move forward and make sure that we hold every president accountable to the law, that no president is above the law as we saw mr. trump tried to hold himself. 11 new subpoenas being issued this week from the committee focusing on the organizers of the event there on january 6th. what kind of role could these people have played? what are the questions you want to have answered from this? i should note that you may have heard my interview with omarosa in the last segment. she pointed to katrina pierson, she said, look, she was all about the money. is that a question for you, where the money came from for this rally? what i kept saying is we were preparing for impeachment trial number two was what did the president know and when did he know it. what did
absolutely. to get to the truth of what the former president was doing, in terms of trying to block the investigations by a special counsel. it s very important that we get, historically, the truth of what happened. the other thing that it it raises is i have a bill. a subpoena-compliance bill. that actually was introduced in 2017 by representative republican representative darryl isa. that would expedite subpoenas so that we wouldn t go through this again with a president who is hell-bent on obstructing. so i hope that this will show the urgency of the reforms that are needed. because certainly, there could come a day, when we would come up against a similar set of circumstances. where an administration would not want to cooperate with a co-equal branch of government. so, trump is obviously out of office. he lost decisively in november. he was impeached, twice, by congress. not convicted by the senate, either time. what do you say to people who say is this really the best use
around the president similarly pressured. so it s a much greater understanding of the man mcgahn and the pressures trying to serb the president. what i also think is important is this tells you something about what we need to do as a co-equal branch of government. we must not be stymied in the right and obligation of oversight. here we are at the former administration is the former administration. thankfully. i have a bill, the expedited subpoena compliance bill and a reason to make sure to bring it up in judiciary. that we pass it on the floor of the house and the senate passes it. and that the president signs it. so that no one, no bad acting administration like the former administration can stymie oversight of congress. there is a real sort of fatigue with the dynamic that trump turned out to be like
