from death threats. when donald trump made james murray head of the secret service, donald trump knew he was going to need the secret service to help him hold on to the presidency. we will be talking about other things in this hour, you will hear from stacey amen, when she joins us, about the ban on abortion in georgia. which went into effect today. you will hear what happened in the steve bannon trial today. when federal prosecutors confidently rested their case after presenting just two technical witnesses, and you will see and hear, the mother of the mass murderer in uvalde texas, who was confronted by other mothers, today, mothers of the murdered children. telemundo captured that confrontation on video and we will present it later in the hour. but we begin tonight with james murray. the director of the secret service who has remained in that position during the biden administration, even though he was appointed by donald trump. the first director of the secret service app
wanted to happen that day, that it was the pre-planned and desired result of a wide-ranging coup attempt by donald trump and orchestrated by him and his close allies and just like they did in other hearings, the committee will use team trump s own words to describe what happened on january 6th with video of trump s own advisors and trump s own allies and trump s own lawyers and trump s appointees, a sneak peek was posted by committee member adam kinzinger who will be co-leading alongside his colleague congresswoman elaine luria shows trump officials in effect corroborating one another, each of them testifying to the fact that as vice president mike pence and lawmakers fled from a mob of trump supporters filled with white supremacists and domestic violent extremists, donald trump was in the dining room watching tv. watch. was the president in that private dining room the whole time that the attack on the capitol was going on or did he ever go to the oval office or the white
