3:01 am
the worst flooding in the decade leaves more than a 1000000 people, thomas? ah, i'm really mohammed, welcome to the program. all makers have ordered donald trump to give evidence at the inquiry into the january 6th attack on the u. s. capital. the congressional committee has told john to hand over documents and testify under oath next month. it says there is evidence that the former president, we personally orchestrated the effort to overturn the 2020 election results hours earlier. trump's chief strategist, steve bannon was sentenced to 4 months in jail for refusing to cooperate with the committee. their judgment while at dw is carina, she more has more from washington, dc for he does, the timing is quite interesting. the special committee investigating the diary 6
3:02 am
attack on the capitol is running out of time in less than 3 weeks. the midterm elections will take place here in the united states, and the outcome of these elections will probably change the majority in the house of representatives. meaning that the republicans might then be in power and they are of course, are going to dismiss the select committee, investigating the general 6 attack on the capitol because many of them say this is a political hand of donald trump. so the committee is trying to get things done here as fast and as soon as possible, and for them, it's a race against the time. and how likely is from to cooperative it's very unlikely, or he law that would mean he would testify on november 14th and give the committee the documents they are asking for november 4th, that means in 2 weeks from now at the same time as you know and as you mentioned that the committee has collected overwhelming evidence including from
3:03 am
a former staff and appointees of donald trump, which means that donald trump would be confronted with this evidence during the hearing term would have is his back against the wall then. and the other option he has is that his legal team can try and negotiate with the committee, trying to submit some of the documents, but not all of them. and his legal team will, of course, try to keep him out of testifying in 1st place. but the committee will probably not engage into any kind of negotiation. and the 3rd and last option donald trump pass is he could refuse and say he's not going to testify and he's not going to submit any documents. and as we know, this could also have severe legal consequences. and in addition, one of trumps closest allies, the former strategist, steve bannon, was sentenced to 4 months in jail for his refusal to cooperate with the committee. exactly where he le banana is as a 1st person to be sentenced to jail for a contempt of congress in more than half a century. so this sends also an important message for others involved in the
3:04 am
capital riots into a 6. and it sets a clear standard for future cases, referred to the justice department by the committee investigating the capital attack. again, a clear sign, a tier message to others, including to former president, all trump. and more broadly speaking than what does this mean for the investigation into via capital riots where we can see that the committee is far of far more, more than just this special committee on the attack on the capital in january 6. and they have the power to refer specific cases. so the justice department and these cases and the person accused in a case like that by the committee, might even end up in jail as we have as seen today in the case of see phantom. so this shows that the committee is really powerful in that sense. all right, that is t w's carrying that she boy in washington dc.
