Well, welcome back. Zerlina and mehdi, our loverly colleagues, theyre great, but theres only one you. We missed you. Welcome back. Thanks to you at home for being with us today. Happy to have you here. Cnn is reporting tonight on what sounds like it may be a dramatic turn in the investigation into the January 6th attack on the u. S. Capitol. Nbc news has not verified this reporting. Im just citing what cnn has reported. If in fact this is borne out, this would be sort of a big hairy deal. What cnn is reporting tonight is that the January 6th investigation, the select committee investigating the attack, theyre about to send requests to Cell Phone providers, requesting that those Cell Phone providers preserve records from Phone Calls and the usage of Cell Phones by several people linked to the attack, including members of congress. The Preservation Notices are apparently reportedly due to go to the Telecom Providers as soon as this week. The committees chairman, congressman Bennie Thomps

Phone providers, preserve records, from Phone Calls and the usage of cellphones, by several people linked to the attack. Including members of congress. The Preservation Notices are apparently, reportedly due to go to the Telecoms Providers as soon as this week. The committees chairman, congressman benny thompson, has also previously said that he has planned to send out the committees first subpoenas as of next week. The investigation into the attack on january six is not just about what happened that day during the attack. And why the Security Arrangements in the capital were insufficient to protect the building from being breached. And members of congress being directly threatened. Its about that, but its also about how the attack came to be. And who is culpable for arranging or abetting the attack, chairman Bennie Thompson is confirming tonight that it is hundreds of people, for whom they are going to be seeking Cell Phone records.
