8:00 pm
we are just hours away from the next january 6th hearing and we are getting new details about what we might see. the committee planning to zero in on the ties between extremist groups and trump's orbit as we learn another one of trump's closest allies, steve bannon, it will testify to the committee. senior congressional correspondent ryan nobles has the latest on what we can
8:01 pm
expect tomorrow. >> cnn has learned that january six committee is planning to zero in on a key link. the extremist groups ties to trump associates, roger stone and michael flynn. the hearing comes as another key trump ally, steve bannon, is changing his tune. telling the committee, he would be willing to testify but only in a live public setting. it's a move prosecutors believe as a stunt to try and wiggle out from his criminal contempt charges but a federal judge on monday declined his request to postpone his trial for next week. >> i expect we'll be hearing from him and there are many questions that we have for him. >> the committee has already revealed a bevy of new information. among the biggest headlines, that trump and his allies were made fully aware that there was no evidence the election was stolen. >> i don't think it was happening was honest or professional. >> trump knew he lost election but kept telling the supporters he won. without evidence to back it up. that the campaign to support people of the voters extended all the way to the states. where trump personally
8:02 pm
pressured officials about his effort. >> you're asking me to do something to break my oath and i will not break my oath. the committee also being let trump knew his supporters were armed and plans to be pilot. but he directed them to the capitol anyway. >> and the president say something to the effect of i don't care that they have weapons. they're not here to hurt me. take the mags away. let my people and. they could march to the capitol from. here let the people. and take the maga way. >> the committee details about trump's efforts to wheelock the certification of the election. holy birds -- try to install an attorney general who would do his bidding. >> i recall towards the end saying, what do your proposing is nothing less than the united states justice department meddling in the outcome of the presidential election. >> that man, jeffrey, clark is now under scrutiny as part of a federal investigation into the attempts to overturn the election. and finally, as an angry mob called for the assassination of
8:03 pm
this vice president. >> hang mike pence. >> witnesses say trump did not seem to be bothered. his response to the violence leading several cabinet members to quit. and others quietly considering a plan to invoke the 25th amendment. >> there's a large concern of the 25th amendment potentially being evoked. and there are concerns bull would happen in the senate. if it was -- the 25th wasn't. both >> and don, of course, everyone is wondering when we will see pat uploading. the former white house counsel who was behind closed doors with the select committee for more than seven hours last friday. so a committee member say we could see clips of that deposition as soon as tomorrow's hearing. and we are told that cipollone was asked very pointed questions about a heated meeting that took place in december at the white house. former president trump and a number of election deniers. cipollone was someone who thought that parts that meeting were actually insane. we could see cipollone talk
8:04 pm
about that during tomorrow's hearing. fly committee aides saying today that they believe that the hearing was a pivotal moment that led to the violence here on january 6th. don? >> all right ryan, nobles thank you very much for that. i want to bring enough to cnn political analyst, jonathan martin. he's the coauthor of this will not pass. also, cnn senior legal analyst elie honig. good evening to both of you. l.a. now are both wondering, jonathan, you have an excuse for us as you always do? before we get started with everything else. >> look, i think that the scoops that we are recently hearing about are coming from this committee. i think that the testimony for cassidy hutchinson is going to prompt more people to at least consider coming forward. as are a number of subpoenas, don. but as alex and i captured in our book and blog the fact is that there is a deep concern in
8:05 pm
the republican party in the days before january 6th about what could happen at the capitol. there is concern about what the trump supporters may do. because, a lot of members of congress do that the election was not stolen. new to trump supporters are being fed a bill of goods. and therefore knew that they were angry people coming to the capitol on january 6th. when it was clear that congress was in fact way to ratify biden as the president. it was totally totally sought in advance. anticipated by a lot of republican members of congress. it was not a huge surprise on january 6th would happen. when you this because they are on tape talking about the possibility of violence on january 6th. >> jonathan. i have a scoop for you to respond to. just in that while you are speaking. that our jim can gayle and kaitlan collins are putting that over --
8:06 pm
patrick burned is going to be the generous expressed a gator. what can you tell the committee? >> he was somebody who was part of this cavalcade of people who trump was talking to. listening to. and seeking out in the election. but now president trump basically cast out anybody who was not going to reinforce his. view that the election was stolen. and so he surrounds himself increasingly with people who would reinforces delusion, frankly, that this was stolen people like linda. the mypillow. back yes people like the overstocks eo. this is because catchy has testimony her -- perhaps more legal face and prosecution is encouraging more people to cooperate or at least consider cooperating with this committee. >> i said, kaitlan collins, it was caitlin pollens. my apologies to caitlin.
8:07 pm
but again jamie and caitlin reporting. elie, what can the significance be of them focusing on that conversation and focusing in on that over stocks eo. if you tell investigators? this is amber 18th means going to the starting point will be here tomorrow. this is when it's would be over. donald trump had lost. there is a desperate meeting at the white house, where he is getting ridiculous and dangerous advice from sydney powell and michael flynn. and others. and the county wait here was pats baloney. and eric herschmann. they are saying that this is crazy, you can see voting machines, you can declare martial law, you can't make sydney powell of all people, the special counsel. that is the starting point. what is most memorable about that meeting is that just a couple of hours after it and it, at 1:42 am. on december 19th. donald trump since the tweet, january 6th be there we will be wild. >> i just think about what you just said, right? this is not normal. but there are people who take
8:08 pm
these people seriously. thank michael flynn and take sydney powell. and take rudy giuliani. this isn't normal, elliott? this is bad >> this was so alarming about it. we have people in the white house, and the oval office, in the residence according to the reporting trying to get the president to do things that would've been historically dangerous. historically abusive of his power. historically irresponsible. and only because of a few level heads, like cipollone and herschmann, and perhaps others. was donald trump drawn back from the brink of that. >> i do take a party seriously who basically sit by and condone this or don't speak out about it? or don't actively work to change. it >> not saying they're heroes. waited keep people off the edge. do you think the ponytail had information about trump's group like the proud boys or the oath keepers. what would you have asked? >> i would want to know. did you ever hear? >> did any word of any connections to any extremist group ever reach you?
8:09 pm
by the way, if it did, again. we are talking about historically unprecedented. imagine if there was any other administration in the history of this country that had links, direct or indirect, to extremist domestic groups. and so i would want to hear from pat cipollone who portrays himself, and multiple seem to agree, as one of the queen of soul. group côte d'ivoire to join about these extremist groups and what did you do about it? >> if you're taking council or people like the proud boys and the oath keepers. are looking up to you and how do you your paula sees. >> i should be a warning bell. donald trump played into that. throughout his presidency. from stand back and stand by up to that weight. >> jonathan there is a high legal bar to prove in coordination between trump's orbit and extremes. but can the community win in public opinion maybe? >> that's certainly the goal, her dog. but i think it remains to be seen if they want to be able to secure a legal indictment. but, obviously, they are very
8:10 pm
much working by liz cheney to circa a political indictment. donald trump they are focused, intentionally, on raising intense questions about his culpability surrounding january 6th. ruling specifically. the people who did most of the pilots. on january 6th. nothing is going to be the focus on the hearing tomorrow. and you can just see some of the data so far. you know, as our snow lead among trump supporters. not the super hard-core. but the more traditional republicans, i think. quietly are fatigued by this. and, look, i think it's going to be fascinating to see. how trump responds because this committee is obviously entirely focused on him. and they're getting more cooperation from people like pat cipollone who were in the room. they are starting to talk. i think it's going to increase the pressure on trump. and create fresh political challenges for him within his
8:11 pm
own party. as we have a lot of reporting on your book about people like kevin mccarthy. who have tried so intently on keeping trump close and trying to sort of placate trump. are people like kevin mccarthy still trying to see the necessity if trump takes real damage from these hearings? it's gonna be fascinating, don, to see where trump's numbers that by some ears and when these hearings wrap up. >> when you think? or do you think that'll make a dent? like downwards in these numbers? >> yes. it is not going to prompt the hard-core trump maga crowd to say i once was lost and now i'm found. trump's a bad dude. but that is not gonna happen anytime soon. but, i think for the broader swath of the party, the kind of pre-trump republicans who would do to flee vote for him but never really loved him. i think it gives them a permission to quietly start easing away and hoping and looking for an alternative and 2024.
8:12 pm
it is basically liz cheney and a handful of democrats doing the job a lot of republicans quietly are happy to see being. that >> elliott, let's talk about this. because i want to get the language correct. cassidy hutchinson's testimony was heard in the justice department. they are reporting that top officials are now more openly discussing trump's conduct. including around adrienne garland. that's a small change. but it is a meaningful one. they were discussing this already? >> it's a revealing look inside the justice department but frankly it's not. that is not an encouraging look at all. here is the deal. they get beat to cassidy hutchinson. they have no idea that she's out there. she testifies two weeks ago. and they are astonished by what they hear. no excuse for that, by the way. from doj to get lapped investigative lead by the committee. there's absolutely no excuse for that. and was the result, according to new york times reporting, jonathan's colleagues. jolted to do what?
8:13 pm
are they serving subpoenas? >> to openly discuss. it >> to talk about quietly from the. boss was a real before this thou show not mentioned donald trump in front of merrick garland? apparently so. so this revealed reporting and it doesn't say conclude about where doj is at or their base. >> jonathan, what the? should the doj be the lead on this? not the january six come questionably middle. >> yeah, look, there is so much frustration among democrats in washington. with the biden doj. they believe that there should be a much more intense focus on holding president trump accountable and the line, don, you appreciate that i've heard from people close to biden go something like this. that biden wanted in a political justice department. they did meet this a political. which is kind of light hearted. but it is not totally far removed from côte d'ivoire the
8:14 pm
they don't want merrick garland to sort of be -- the sort of black group judge totally above the line. they want to be the attorney general. the law calls for it. people who are culpable côte d'ivoire for the president united states. we had a conversation earlier we are discussing what the people who actually show up to the polls and vote. not necessarily the twitter crowd. and the progressives and the younger people. people actually show up to the polls and vote. and what i'm hearing from those people, this just my unscientific survey. that is that president biden and the people he has hired. they have this out of outsource romantic size idea. and those those republicans no longer exists. and so far the administration
8:15 pm
is operating time on. by. >> that's a particular quite a bit from your democrats and progressive democrats. who, frankly, came of age either in the trump era or in the lead up to the trump era. people like mitch mcconnell who are a real departure from a lot of the senators that biden served with in the 70s and 80s. a lot of people who had a lot more ideologically -- from your home state of louisiana. you have a lot of liberal republicans who are now very different place and time now in washington. there's very liberal diversity in parties. republicans are basically down the lights. democrats are basically progressive. i think biden is trying to sort of rekindle that old time religion from the senate he came up with. and it's not able to do that given with the two parties are today. >> not going to happen. not quite in this environment. >> okay, thank you gentlemen,
8:16 pm
we appreciate. the fda interviewed on trump's attorney to weeks ago and that may be bad news for steep at it. we're gonna tell you why that is next.

8:20 pm
so former trump strategist, steve bannon, now says that he is willing to testify, publicly. before the january 6th elect committee. but he has been refusing to appear for months. even after the subpoena. which is likely ip justice department is calling this changing part of stunt. he's trying to avoid criminal contempt charges. let's discuss now. cnn senior justice correspondent, evan perez and legal analyst, elliott williams, good evening chance. good to see you. evan, what is going on here?
8:21 pm
if steve bannon tried to turn these hearings into a service? >> i think. the biden, when he was first charged, don, showed up to court with a live stream person who was streaming his arrest. his surrender to the fbi. so this is partly, now, explained by what is going on in the last day. we saw the judge today who looked at bannon's requests to delay his trial. he wanted to present to the defense that he had some kind of shield from the former president for executive privilege. which really doesn't exist. the judge made it clear. karl mickelson, who's a judge overseeing this case. he is a trump appointee. he's one of the -- these republican but he's an expert on executive privilege. and he rejected this out of hand.
8:22 pm
so there was no privilege to waive. there was no letter from the former president that was necessary. but we found out, from the justice department today, that what had happened was two weeks ago the fbi interviewed trump lawyer and found out that there was no blanket privilege that was extended to sleep at it. that blew a hole and his defense. so that is what happened today at court. the judge made it clear that bannon has no defense. he can't come in there and present that he was a depending on some executive privilege at some recent why he ignored the subpoena. keep in mind, don, he's facing two counts. one of them for failing to respond to the subpoena from the committee. secondly for refusing to turn over documents. he's offering to do the hearing, again in public, but he has not said anything about presenting the documents that the
8:23 pm
committee subpoenaed. >> do they have any teeth? what is a contempt of congress? >> while, it is a crime. and he has been charged with a crime. >> will they put him in jail? >> alex convicted of it he will get a misdemeanor. he's not gonna get a life sentence for doing. it but, it is a crime. to be clear this picking up weapons point. the crime was committed when he violated the subpoena by not showing up to testify after protracted extended negotiations from the committee. where these extended aberrations committee. number two, didn't of the documents over. thank now i am going to show up a testify doesn't negate or race what he did in the past. don, that is like me taking $50 out of your pocket. getting charged with theft. and then the day later saying no no no, there's a money back. don't prosecute me for it. that's just not how it works. so, regardless of the seriousness of it. it is a subpoena. it got violated. it is a crime. >> so, okay fine. maybe not jail.
8:24 pm
but what happens? what will they do with it done? >> and any crime there's any number. number one you could find somebody. you can put him on probation. big ben mondale. if their convicted. not the way better -- -- >> is not a badge of honor him though? that is not for me to decide. look, the way federal sentencing works is that once you are convicted equipped with federal sentencing guidelines which lay out, based on how serious your offense was, how much they want to use you as deterrence for their future people, how much money was -- all kind of things going to federal sentencing guidelines. then they decide how much time you. get >> bennett, made this very specific prediction on his podcast today before the january 6th insurrection. take a listen. >> all is going to break loose tomorrow. just understand. this all is going to break loose tomorrow. >> this is enough. legally. what would it mean for bannon
8:25 pm
if he knew violence was planned for january 6th. >> it's a couple of different. thanks the contempt proceeding who's just with respect to not showing up in the documents. this is if he knew about violence. this december 18th your hearing about and you are talking about and the last document. where there are a number of people meeting in trump's immediate orbit. there is this question of the extent to which the president knew there would be violence the next. a and close advisers, like steve bannon, might have been aware of it. they might've pass it information on the committee. the genesis committee has sort of tease that they are going to draw some of that likely tomorrow. so maybe that is what might come out. but one would have to know that there is going to be violence and participate in encourage it to be charged with a crime. >> evan perez, so bannon was part of that war room group. while putting the election conspiracy theories for a few weeks. explain his role leading up to the insurrection. that's a big part of this.
8:26 pm
>> he was one of the biggest proponents of the lie that there was fraud and that there was fraud even though bill barr and others kept telling president and the world that the justice department had looked into all of these things and had found nothing. and so the despite that, then in some of his cohorts, people like sydney powell, people encouraged giuliani. they kept propagating this lie which they knew had no basis in facts. they knew it had no evidence to support it. and, that is part of what his role here was. he's a propagandist. that is what he has always praise that as his role. and his role with the former president. and keep in mind, don, at the end of all of this. bennett gets a pardon for unrelated crime. that, you know, some of his
8:27 pm
codefendants have now been sentenced for. so, there is a lot here that we still don't know and don't understand. about what biden exactly was doing behind the scenes. i think that is why the committee wanted to hear from him. i think, still, really does because there is a lot here that he can explain. but what was going on behind the scenes. >> just listening to you to. i've been gone for a week. this is crazy. to come back -- it is crazy. >> don, we get so caught up. i'll be guilty of this is a former prosecutor. former deputy assistant attorney general. we get caught up deciding what is a crime and what is not. but you can go to jail for and whatnot. we are to step back and realize how, what a show wrapped in -- out even one say the. word what a mess is last couple of years has been. and how not normal this comment. this it is just crazy. >> how close we came to disaster. >> cataclysm in the united
8:28 pm
states. you know me. i'm not once again with the conspiracy theories or any sort of sky is falling. but how close the company averted disaster on generally sixth. and in the months leading up to. what i think, in the rush to sort of pick apart the seditious conspiracy theory statute on who could be charged with misdemeanor felonies. let's not forget about what happened. and how historically problematic all of this was. abnormal. >> i laughed when we all showed up on the scene together because of saying we could be related, like cousins or. >> it's like looking in a mirror. >> we can get every person glasses. i do need some glasses. >> well evan has hair. >> i'm shining a little. mine is gonna be gone, i'll give you tenure. >> thank you guys, appreciate it. make sure you join cnn's drew griffin for new investigation to sleep and it and his plan to

8:35 pm
captain ron johnson who was formally with the missouri state highway patrol. gentlemen, good evening. thanks much. joey, you first. i just talked about a few cases there. those are just a few of many. without these videos, we would not know these folks names. >> yeah. no question about it, don. good evening to you. the captain, catherine johnson. the bottom line is what you're doing is blowing the public to look the other way. no one wants to be arrested. at the same time, you're really warning civic involvement. you're lessening accountability. that being problematic. in addition to that, there was, on the book now, right? right now, he don't do this because in the event that you impede or impair the police from doing their job, there is a law called obstructing governmental administration. you can arrest someone for that. just think about how you enforce this. when your seventh, eat five feet, ten feet. in the event placer scuffling
8:36 pm
with someone and they come toward you, you're talking about criminalizing that behavior. it is the warning yet it is difficult enforcement. possibilities of potential. i think it's a law that doesn't need to go to effect. let's call it what it is. i think, certainly, please are in a dangerous job. we have to protect what they do. i think this goes too far. it's as to the public, look the other way. we're gonna put you in jail for 30 days. or have you pay 500 dollar fine. that is troubling to me. to say the least. >> captain. the republicans say representative john kavanaugh represented this bill. he is a retired police officer. here's what he wrote. i can think of no reason why any responsible person would need to come closer than easy to a police officer, engage in a hostile or potentially hassan counter. such an approach is unreasonable, unnecessary, unsafe. it should be made illegal. he doesn't say that people cannot shoot video at all, rather that it is dangerous for
8:37 pm
anyone to be less than eight feet from the law enforcement. what do you think? >> hello, don. i think and agree with joey. there are laws on the book interfering with the police officer that allows you to do that. officers is important. we have to make sure that officers get their job. this is a blanket policy of eight feet. really, they haven't given any reason to define how they came up with eight feet. and our country, we've had a lot of instances of the past three years. i think public video has captured inappropriate behavior. but also, appropriate behavior. there are things put in place. it just depends on the situation. just have a blanket policy. i even read the policy were talks about if you are being stopped by an officer, you can videotape it if you are passenger. if you're being questioned, you can videotape. what we're teaching in our country not to be reaching in their purses for cell phones.
8:38 pm
to put that in there is really invalid. it allows people to do it. most of it is we see don't come from people who are actually being the subject of a police stop. you're right. i didn't even think about that point. there has been video out there that has exonerated officers who are doing the right thing. i'm sure those officers didn't mind that the person may have been closer than eight feet. joey, this is the first amendment. to folks have the right to record place in public places? bottom line. >> bottom line is you certainly do. right? the supreme court hasn't address the specific issue of filming police. if you think about it, forget about that. think about the public place. think about the fact that the public has the right to be where they currently. our think about the fact that the public simply is attempting to record what people are doing. think about what police can do when their discretion thwarts that and prevents that in otherwise undermine accountability.
8:39 pm
when you look to force it, is there gonna be someone with a measuring stick to say that you are too close or too far? may because they don't like that you are filming them. say, hey, you are eight when you are ten or 12 feet away. technology really makes this meaningless to the extent where you can be many feet away instill capture what occurred. good police officers who are doing wonderful things. we should capture that. we should capture police officers doing not so good things. so, let us call this but this is. they have specific measures on the books to address this, as i noted, obstructing governmental administration. let's not to target people who are out there being involved and attempting to determine whether police are doing their job properly and are protecting others. that is really important. >> joey, camp to johnson. thank you very much. we will be right back. >> thank you. is the planning effect. this is how it feels to o knw you have a wealth plan that covers everything that's important to you.

8:45 pm
the japanese making sense of this? >> you see how many people are streaming behind me. this is a temple in downtown tokyo. it is very large temple. but we have seen for the last few hours or so this morning are people who look like they are on their lunch hour or may have traveled here. a lot of them are wearing black clothes to please pay their final respects, to lay flowers, messages. this is a private funeral ceremony that is going to be hosted by his wife. it is happening right now. it is also an essential gathering place for people here in tokyo to remember the loss of a true political tighten. domestically and globally. someone who was the base of japan. regardless of whether they agree with his policies. we are seeing so much of japan. they're coming out to pay their final respects. all ages, different backgrounds,

8:47 pm
