hearing so far, and now the committee wants to hear from him. this morning, abc news has learned former white house counsel pat cipollone is evaluating a subpoena from the january 6th committee. cipollone could argue his conversations with former president trump fall under executive privilege, but sources say he may sit down for written testimony to discuss his critical role in the final days of the trump white house including on the day of the capitol riot. >> the president said something to the effect of, i'm the effing president, take me up to the capitol now. >> reporter: the subpoena comes after the explosive testimony from former trump white house aide cassidy hutchinson who claims cipollone voiced concern that trump would be exposed to criminal charges if he traveled to the capitol. >> he said something to the effect of please make sure we don't go up to the capitol, cassidy. we're going to get charged with every crime imaginable. >> reporte testified that trump knew some of his supporters had weapons but still demanded they be allowed to march to the capitol.

ronald reagan library last night saying now is the time for republicans to make a choice between loyalty to trump and loyalty to the constitution. >> it's undeniable. it's also painful for republicans to accept, and i think we all have to recognize and understand what it means to say those words and what it means that those things happened. we have to choose because republicans cannot both be loyal to donald trump and loyal to the constitution. >> reporter: and cheney's critics say the january 6th hearings have been one-sided with testimony going unchallenged and, therefore, they believe it lacks creditability. mona. >> faith, thank you. breaking overnight a gruesome story here in new york. police say a 20-year-old mother pushing her baby in a stroller was gunned down on the street shot in the back of her head on manhattan's upper east side. the shooter escaped. it comes as cities across the country see a spike in violent crime.
