talk to us about this new development as it relates to the january 6th committee and this intent to respond to this doj request for transcripts. it was something the department of justice had to ask for twice to this point. yeah, had to ask for twice. and you saw in the letter that came yesterday, as hearings were ongoing, that the justice department said that by not having this, it could also be hampering some of the investigations that they are already ongoing with. that s something that i posed to chairman bennie thompson yesterday after the hearings were over. he said, basically, it wasn t a question of if they were going to comply, but went. although, now, we do have a better sense that that compliance is happening. i can throw up for you on the screen there a statement from a committee spokesperson who says, the select committee is engaged in a cooperative process to address the needs of the department of justice. they re not inclined to share the details of that publ
