to tripledemic illness on th rise. what you need to know, heading into this holida weekend. looking back at thi consequential week, and th focus on fighting for democracy, and freedom, both here, an abroad. our favorite historians, here to put it all i perspective, as a special, extra early addition of th 11th hour is underway, on this friday night. good evenin once again. i am stephanie ruhle. nearly 24 hours after its final report was mad public, tonight, the january 6th committee released a new batch of witness transcripts they are from interviews wit key people in trump administration, including, bil barr, pat cipollone, kayleig mcenany, hope hicks, and his daughter, and senior adviser ivanka trump. we will brea down what we are learning in just a moment, but first, th committee s report is wrapping up its 18 month investigation, and it is very clear about the main reason for the attack o art american democracy. th panel says, the central caus was one man. former presi
