itself. now, among the revelations we heard, hutchinson testified that president trump and his chief of staff were aware that people in the crowd there, the riders were armed with things like pepper spray brass knuckles. that there were some people who didn't want to go through security because they were carrying heavy or weapons. and she said, president, trump essentially said they're not here to hurt me, let them in, and let them go to the capital president. trump, himself, according to hutchinson, wanted to go to the capital after a speech with the crowd that day he wanted to essentially join that mob. and when he was told he wouldn't be going to the capital. he was so i rate that he tried to grab the steering wheel and even attacked his secret service detail. according to the hutchinson, a president, trump did respond to this testimony in real time saying he doesn't know who cassidy hutchinson is. that she's a phony and a minor player, but the big question here will be, what will the department of justice do? a lot of observers believe that the evidence that's been amassed on the previous hearings and from today show clearly that president trump himself tried to subvert

dozens of people thought be migrants from central and southern america without dead at the scene. while multiple survivors were taken to hospitals, suffering from heat related conditions. the patient that we saw were hot to the touch. they were suffering of from heat stroke, heat exhaustion, ah, no signs of water in the vehicle. it was a refrigerated tractor trailer, but there was no uh, visible working ac unit on that rig. we're not supposed to open up a truck and see stacks of bodies and there are none of us come to work. imagining that. so we're working through the behavioral health for our folks right now. san antonio's mom was also at the scene on monday. so the flight of migrants, city refuse, is always a humana terry in crisis. but to night we are dealing with a horrific human tragedy. local police say they have taken 3 people into custody.

at least dead. what do we know about the victims yet? so 46 died in this truck and 46 dead bodies were found. 60 were brought to local hospital as and we just learning the 4 people died overnight. i had a chance to talk to some firefighters who actually were here at the scene when they found the bodies, and they're still really shocked because i have not seen something like that before . yeah, according to the latest is 26 that we have on 2021 over 600 migrants died on the us border. what does this incident this year tell us about the safety on the border for migrants who have, who are crossing their while it tells us that the situation is horrible. first of all, in the country. so letting us, mexico,

why did those people who died came from and it also shows that the so called articles 42, which don't push forward, which made it much harder for migrant to start a legal troll. it says to get into record, she stated, isn't helping people still try to cross the border. and it shows that also president quietly does not have any ideas to stop to try to do is you know, pull in san antonio, texas for us. thank you to sports now where tennis legend, serena williams has been knocked out in the 1st round of the wimbledon championship . the american had been out injured for a whole year and was making her single come back at the grass grand slam. she lost
