3:31 am
the community today placed the blame squarely on one person, donald trump. we have a lot of news to get to tonight, and cbs' scott macfarlane will start us off from capitol hill. good evening, scott. >> norah, good evening. after a year-long investigation and a series of congressional hearings unlike we've ever seen before, the house select january 6th committee voted unanimously to take its probe to the next level, calling former president trump the central figure of january 6th. >> those in favor will say aye. >> aye. >> with just weeks remaining to finish its work, the house select january 6th committee made the stunning move, calling on the former president to testify. >> he must be accountable. he is required to answer for his actions. he is required to answer to those police officers who put their lives and bodies on the line to defend our democracy. >> reporter: the committee argued trump agitated the crowd, then directed them to the
3:32 am
capitol, knowing some were armed and angry. >> the central cause of january 6th was one man, donald trump, who many others followed. none of this would have happened without him. >> we need them there now, whoever you got. >> reporter: in never before released footage, the committee showed congressional leaders who had just been evacuated begging for the national guard to help rescue their colleagues, still trapped in the house chamber. >> why don't you get the president to tell them to leave the capitol, mr. attorney general, in your law enforcement responsibility. a public statement they should all leave. >> it's just horrendous. and all at the instigation of the president of the united states. >> reporter: also under the spotlight today, the secret service who saw intelligence predicting violence 11 days before the attack. california democrat adam schiff read some of the alerts the agents were getting. >> they think they will have a large enough group to march into d.c. armed and will outnumber the police so they can't be stopped.
3:33 am
the source went on to say, "their plan is to literally kill people. please, please take this tip seriously and investigate further." >> reporter: the committee also played audio of one white house security official explaining how shocked they were to hear that the president was planning to go to the capitol with the rioters. >> i don't know if you want to use the word insurrection, coup. whatever. we all knew this would move from a normal democratic, you know, public event into something else. >> reporter: as the hearing was concluding, the supreme court announced it would not intervene in the mar-a-lago documents investigation, a blow to the former president who had made that appeal. cbs news has also learned a staffer at trump's estate has told cbs news a former trump agent was told to move the individual to move the boxes with sensitive documents to move the box to a storage facility. the biden administration has fabricated a document hoax in a desperate attempt to retain political power.

in a statement tonight, the former president called the committee a total bust that has only served to further divide our country. four top trump aides defied subpoenas from this committee, but norah, two are being prosecuted for contempt of congress. scott macfarlane, thank you. i want to bring in cbs news chief political analyst john dickerson, who watched the entire hearings with us. all right. so this committee wants donald trump under oath before congress. how likely is that? >> it seems highly unlikely. he has not been participating in other legal incidents. there is a precedent. other presidents, ex-presidents have been called up. many of them testified, even in sticky situations, saying it was part of their duty. truman didn't, saying it was protected by executive privilege. >> the other thing we learned today is just how much this was premeditated, this attack on the capitol. >> that's right. there were more data points to show in two instances, when president trump had a chance to turn the wheel toward safety or danger, he chose danger. he knew that his supporters who were at his rally were arm and were dangerous. he said invite them in, welcome
3:35 am
them in. when he heard mike pence was under specific threat at the capitol, he issued a tweet making him more of a target. in both instances didn't turn to safety. he turned to danger. >> and today they allege too the threat to democracy is not over. >> well, the president is the head of the republican party, and it's no benefit to republicans to talk about what's being discussed at this hearing. but if you can wave away a direct threat to democracy, then it makes it seem like maybe it's okay, and if it's okay, it's going to happen again. >> we learned a lot today. much. righ the emic inflationrein shows no signs of slowing. the consumer price index for september was up 8.2% compared to one year ago. month to month, prices increased to 0.4%. on wall street, stocks sank at the opening bell, but made a surprise u-turn with a late day rally. the dow gained almost 3% while the nasdaq and s&p 500 were up more than 2%.
