more than 1,000 americans have been convicted in the january 6th, 2021, attack on the capitol. about 350 trials are still pending and the fbi continues its dragnet for suspects. the attack that stopped the count of the presidential vote triggered the largest prosecution in u.s. history. but now, history is being challenged. former president donald trump calls the convicted "patriots" worthy of pardons. what is the evidence? we begin with the prosecutor in charge. u.s. attorney matthew graves

told us what drives the prosecution of january 6th. >> the crime was severe, it was an attack on our democracy. once you replace votes and deliberation with violence and intimidation, you've lost the democratic process. you've lost the rule of law. but it's also about the victims, the officer victims who were injured that day, and making sure we hold people accountable for the harm that they inflicted on the 140 officers who are reported physical injury. >> matthew graves has worked in the bush and biden justice departments. now, as u.s. attorney for the district of columbia, he's won more than 1,000 january 6th convictions and lost only two of the cases at trial. what's the best evidence that you've had? >> the crimes that occurred that day are probably the most recorded crimes in all of our history, you also have the words of the defendants explaining

what they were going to do or what they had done. >> just took over the capitol. overran the capitol. >> evidence from the trials show many in the mob were determined to stop the count of the electoral vote that would certify joe biden's victory. they were enraged by president trump's false claims of a stolen election. >> you must have felt strongly to drive 2,000 miles to washington. >> yes, sir, i still feel very strongly. >> jerod hughes came from montana, he's married 39-year-old construction worker with daughter and a grievance. >> the way this country's head to, my paycheck -- you know, my wife's disabled and it's been hell for us to try to make it with tens of thousands of dollars of medical bills, you know? and a lot of us see donald trump coming in and trying to help us out.

trying the help the little guy out against the big government. >> that's jerod hughes at lower right in the khaki cap, among the first inside the capitol. that's hughes, inside, at the door, kicking it out so the mob can rush in. >> you guys don't want this. you don't [ bleep ] want this. and we are [ bleep ] mad. >> no matter how i look at it, i share some responsibility for everything that happened that day. letting people in, being a part of that mob. i didn't personally fight any officers, but i have a tremendous amount of respect for the police and i did not like seeing them assaulted. >> we didn't see a lot of respect for police in that video. >> well, no. absolutely i'll hold my up and say i was wrong. i shouldn't have been screaming at those cops. it's not something i'm proud of. >> others did much worse. >> i became trapped. they pinned me against the door

frame, and with my arms at my side i couldn't mount any kind of defense. >> officer daniel hodges of d.c.'s metropolitan police defended an entrance known as the west front tunnel. >> someone was pinning me with a police shield. and another member of the crowd grabbed my gas mask by the filter in front and just started essentially punching me in the face while holding onto it. and then eventually ripped it off my head and then he stole my riot baton out of my hands and beat me in the head with it. >> what were you defending? >> democracy. >> reporter: democracy stopped for about six hours. the vote was counted at 3:44 a.m. with two weeks until

inauguration day it was the trump justice department that set the standards for the prosecutions. decisions were made by "career" prosecutors who work at justice for years regardless of who the president might be. >> the career prosecutors quickly realized that you needed guidelines in place, determines about who was going to be charged, who wasn't going to be charneled, and what they would be charged with. that process started in january 7th, 2021, during the prior administration, to this day we continue to use guidelines that the career prosecutors put in place during the prior administration. >> and how did they guide you? >> the thousands of people we could charge that day, are people who actually entered into the capitol, people who engaged in violent or destructive behavior. people who illegally carried firearms or other weapons on capitol grounds and people who helped others to get into the capitol building. >> you're not charging everyone who was there that day?

>> that's correct. we have turned down hundreds of cases where the fbi is saying, there is evidence here, it's your determination. whether you think this should be prosecuted. >> why would you turn them down? >> because they don't fit within the guidelines that the career prosecutors had been using. >> u.s. attorney matthew graves told us that january 6th charges range from essentially trespassing to the most serious, seditious conspiracy. >> so, seditious conspiracy is a civil-war era statute that deals with basically using force against the government to interfere with the operations of the government. >> reporter: 14 have been convicted of seditious conspiracy. one, a militia leader, got 22 years, the longest sentence of all. all of the trials have been in open court in washington, before

judges or juries the defendant's choice, but more than 900, 80% have pleaded guilty. >> we've seen the defendants on january 6th take full advantage of the protections afforded under the constitution. to me, that's the picture of due process. >> but due process is not the picture painted at trump rallies including this last march. >> ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated january 6th hostages. ♪ oh, say can you see by the dawn's early ♪ >> reporter: that's a regarding of defendants in jail, mr. trump has said that he's inclined to pardon many of them. >> well, thank you very much and you see the spirit from the hostages, and that's what they are, hostages. they've been treated terribly and very unfairly and you know that and everybody knows that

and we are going to be working on that, soon as, the first day we get into office, we're going to save our country we're going to work with the people to treat those unbelievable patriots and they were unbelievable patriots and are -- >> reporter: the former president has also revised the history of those who died. >> that sounds like a [ bleep ] gunshot. >> reporter: one of his supporters was killed by an officer defending the house chamber, three other trump supporters died that day -- one drug overdose, two from cardiovascular disease. and a police officer died of a stroke the next day. in the debate, mr. trump acknowledged one death but he said this in august. >> when you compare the them to other things that took place in the country where a lot of people were killed, nobody was killed on january 6th. >> reporter: former president trump is himself a january 6th defendant, in a separate prosecution led by special counsel jack smith.

trump was indicted by a grand jury for alleging to conspire to overturn the election with lies he knew were false. the same myths that stoke rage in jerod hughes. where were you getting all this information? >> a lot of fox news. a lot of stuff i read on the internet. obviously trump himself, saying that the election was stolen. >> reporter: fox news paid $787 million to settle a suit that claimed that fox repeatedly lied about the election and knew it. were the january 6th protesters duped? >> yes. >> reporter: thomas griffith is a conservative, retired, federal judge who co-authored "lost, not stolen, a year-long investigation by conservatives into the 2020 election. >> the conclusion of the report

was that there's no evidence that fraud changed the outcome of an election in any precinct in the united states of america. >> any precinct? >> and all of the evidence, not the speculation, not the conspiracy theories, all the evidence points in one direction. and that's that president biden won, and president trump lost. >> reporter: judge griffith was appointed by george w. bush to the court of appeals for the d.c. circuit, he retired in 2020 after working for years with most of the 29 judges who have heard january 6th cases. >> none of these judges is politically biased. these defendants had ever chance in the world to defend themselves against these charges. and they didn't succeed. >> you seem to be saying that justice was done?

>> absolutely, justice was done. >> reporter: justice for jerod hughes meant turning himself in and pleading guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding. the supreme court struck down that charge in another, but if hughes appeals, he'll face other charges that prosecutors dropped. so, after 20 months in custody, including prison, he's decided to just wrap up his last days of home detention. >> if i come to find out that i was dead wrong on this, that the election was actually legit and joe biden got the most votes in presidential history, i would be extremely embarrassed. i would hold my hands up and say i was wrong, i was an idiot. but i don't believe that though. whether i'm right or wrong, i ebl believe what was we did was patriotic. because we truly believed that the election was stolen for a number of reasons. we really believed that. >> though the vote count was delayed, the transfer of power was on time, with a new president emerging from that

same west front tunnel defended by officer daniel hodges. >> if these defendants are pardoned then so much of what they believe or believed on that day will be justified in their heads, that if they do it again that they'll be protected and it would be just incredibly destructive for the fabric of the country. >> now, the trials themselves will be judged by voters who will decide whether the defendants were prosecuted as criminals or choir boys. the allegation is made that the white house is guiding your work. >> i've never met president biden, let alone talked to him which is normal. i would add because there are walls for very good reasons between the department of justice and the white house, so that prosecution can focus on what it should be focused on, whether there are violations of

law and whether those violations of law consistent with the rules that we follow should be federally prosecuted. >> there are people maybe millions of people in country are skeptical of what you just said. >> no one is prosecuted for their views, they're being prosecuted for their acts.

if there's going be a military conflict between the united states and china, the thinking in washington goes, it will most likely happen if china tries to invade taiwan. but lately tensions have escalated precariously in another part of the south china sea -- the waters off the western coast of the philippines where an international tribunal ruled that the philippines has exclusive economic rights. but china claims almost all of the south china sea, one of the world's most vital waterways through which more than $3 trillion in goods flow each ear. to assert its claims china has been using tactics just short of war, leading to violent confrontations. the united states has a mutual defense treaty with the philippines which could mean american intervention, it's being called the most dangerous conflict no one is talking about. and last month we saw for our ourselves just how dangerous it can be.

>> when we boarded the ship last month, it was supposed to be for a routine mission resupplying ships and stations in the south china sea. but in the middle of our first night. sirens raged. crew members rushed between decks. 4:00 in the morning, all sound asleep the alarm just went off on the ship, we were told to wake up and put our life jackets because we have just been rammed by a chinese boat. there was confusion and fear. our team was told to stay inside the cabin for safety. it was unclear if we'd take on water or if the chinese would try to force their way onboard. philippine crew members prepared for that possibility and stood by the hatch holding clubs in case they had to fend off the chinese. this cell phone video shows the

moment just after impact, the chinese coast guard ship, 269 feet long and nearly twice the size of the philippine boat, jammed into the rear right side of the ship. when the chinese pulled away -- the filipinos found a 3 1/2-foot hole. an officer told us we were lucky the damage was above the water line. there are about 4 or 5 different chinese boats surrounding us at the moment. the crew tells me they can see on the radar that more are coming right now. >> this happened about 60 nautical miles off the coast of the philippines. and about 660 nautical miles from china on the way to a police called sabina shoal. they have coast guard vessels around the shoal in recent months. with the philippines fearing china will take control. in 2016, an international tribunal ruled the philippines

has exclusive economic rights in a 200-mile zone that includes sabina shoal. and the area where the cape was rammed. china does not recognize the ruling and says the south china sea has been its territory since ancient times. we're just getting our first light, we have a much better sense of just how surrounded we are by chinese vessels. you can see, these two right here actually say china coast guard. we're in a complete standoff. we have been here for two hours, it's unclear whether we can turn around and go back if we wanted to. we're just completely surrounded by chinese ships. 14 in all, including a militia of large fishing vessels to block ships like the one we were on. the filipinos tried to negotiate a way out but ultimately were forced to abandon the first stop of their mission. we're not going to sabina. in their damaged boat, they had

to take a long detour to their next supply drop as chinese ships followed closely. by this time the chinese already publicized their version of the incident accusing the filipinos of instigating the conflict and highlighting our team's faces accusing us of being a propaganda campaign. >> the philippines has turned the south china sea into its theater, deliberately ramming a coast guard ship. >> they're saying that this is your fault. this collision in. >> yes, yes. if you do the ramming the other ship would have the damage. not your ship. >> reporter: the captain the top ranking officer on the cape took us below deck to survey the damage, he told us it wouldn't stop them from continuing on. >> this is our place. this is our exclusive economic zone, this is the philippines. >> over the past two years, the chinese have turned the south

china sea into a demolition derby, repeatedly ramming philippines ship and blasting them with water cannons. what we saw in the cape, represented a significant escalation, bringing the battle lines closer than ever to the philippines shore. within hours of the collision, the biden administration condemned china for what it called dangerous and destabilizing conduct. this became an international incident, what happened on your ship this morning. >> i've been assigned here for two years, this is what we deal with every day. >> is it getting worse? >> yes, it's getting worse. >> what's behind this uptick in tension? what changed? >> what changed is the determination of the philippines to say no. >> you're standing up to china. >> yes, yes. they don't like it. >> reporter: the philippines

secretary of national defense. >> the proverbial schoolyard bully is the best example of what china is. it just muscles you over. >> reporter: for example, he says, the aptly named mischief reef in the philippines economic zone once looked like this, it now looks like this, in the 1990s the chinese took over and started turning the reef into a military base. as the cape passed near mischief reef, a chinese navy destroyer appeared. the filipinos repeatedly asked for safe passage. >> please keep clear of our passage and maintain safe passage. >> each time, there was no response. in a game of cat and mouse, the destroyer edged forward. the filipinos forced to come to a stop and adjust course to

avoid another coalition we met >> china decided they're large enough so they can buck the law. >> in manila, we met retired air force kernel ray powell who runs a nonprofit, sea light. >> you see these ships going down. >> which tracks china's actions >> how do they get away with this. >> there's a law, a judge, there's no enforcer. >> unless the u.s. decides to intervene. which then becomes the world policemen. >> that's the problem. >> reporter: the u.s. is bound by treaty to defend the philippines if it comes under armed attack. i want to understand a scenario where that red line could be crossed. >> you were just involved in a situation where you were hit by a larger ship. imagine if that ship had sunk your ship and several people had died. what would the philippines then feel compelled to do? they probably wouldn't go instantly to war, but they might instantly get on a war footing. they might go to the united

states and say, this looks a lot like an armed attack to us. we were hit by a ship and people died. >> in a scenario like that would the united states be obligated to intervene? >> look, every treaty depends on the political will of the parties. what i'll say if the united states fails or appears to fail to meet its treaty obligations the entire alliance structure is built on credibility. >> it means nothing. >> the u.s. hasn't had a permanent military presence in the philippines since 1992. though it does conduct regular joint exercises and this year committed $500 million in military aid to manila and another $128 million to upgrade bases. we met this general, the

military chief of staff at one of those bases after he landed in his fighter jet following an aerial recognizance flight over the south china sea. how much time do you spend focused on china? >> almost the whole day. >> reporter: last year general brawner visited the philippines' equivalent of the alamo, a grounded world war ii battleship manned by soldiers and used to hold down manila's claim to a disputed area in the south china sea, the scene of the most violent incident to date. in june, when the philippine navy tried to resupply those troops the chinese blocked the delivery. it was near hand to hand combat. >> what was surprising was that they had weapons with them, they had spears with them. >> never seen that before? >> we haven't seen that before and they began attacking our

boats, they started puncturing our boats with their spears. >> reporter: a filipino navy seal lost his right thumb after the chinese rammed his boat. >> they stole our equipment. they destroyed our equipment. they hurt our personnel. these are the doings of pilots. i warned our personnel if this happens again you have the right to defend yourselves. >> if the chinese were to fire upon your men, and your men fire back, sir, that sounds like the makings of the beginning of a war. >> yes, indeed. indeed. >> reporter: the defense secretary told us there are ongoing conversations between washington and manila about which scenarios would trigger u.s. involvement. do you worry that perhaps some unpredictable incident at sea could cause tensions to escalate and then suddenly the

philippines, not taiwan, becomes the flash point in the south china sea? >> yes, definitely. >> reporter: if they took the sierra madre, would that merit america's intervention? >> that is a clear act of war on a philippine vessel. >> you would expect american intervention? >> we would react, and naturally, we would expect it. >> you're talking about a rusty old warship, how realistic is it to expect the united states to intervene over the fate of a wrship like that. >> there are people in there, that's an outpost of philippines sovereignty. we're not talking about rusty old vessels only. we're talking about a piece of philippine territory in there. >> reporter: president biden has invited ferdinand marcos jr. to the white house twice in the past 16 months and has assured him of america's support. >> i want to be very clear the united states defense commitment to the philippines is ironclad.

>> reporter: earlier this year, washington sent the philippines a powerful weapon during joint exercises, a mid-range missile system capable of reaching mainland china. that clearly angered china in a big way. >> this is for philippines defense. >> it's none of china's business that you have a missile that can reach their shores? >> what happens within our territory is for our defense. we follow international law. what's the fuss? >> do you plan to keep mid-range missiles capable of reaching mainland china at some of your bases? >> i cannot confirm nor deny if there's such a plan. >> reporter: you say what's the fuss, china says that you've brought the risk of war into the region by doing this. >> that's what they always say, everything the world does that they don't like is the fault of the world. >> how do you think this ends, though, you don't expect china to pack up and leave, do you?

>> i really don't know the end state. all i know is that we cannot let them get away with what they're doing. what was it like being onboard during an international incident on scene. >> the intimidation is really real when you see it up close. >> at 60minutesovertime.com. during its first year, a humpback calf and its mother are almost inseparable. she lifts her calf to its first breath of air, and then protects it on their long journey. one of the most important things you can do is help the next generation. protect the ones you love with pacific life's trusted financial solutions. talk to a financial professional about life insurance and retirement income with pacific life. it was one thing when my mom got alzheimer's, but then we started noticing things that seemed...off. she developed agitation that may happen with dementia

the comment was from somebody that said, "i love her lack of energy, go girl, give us nothing. you remember the words? >> yeah, it just spread like wildfire that i had no stage presence or i couldn't perform. so i was like, all right, well, i'm just going to prove to you that i can perform and i can dance and i can do all these things. >> reporter: dua lipa may have wanted to prove her doubters wrong, but when her second album called "future nostalgia" was ready to be released two years later, the timing could not have been worse. >> my second album came out march 2020 at the very beginning of the pandemic. >> was there any talk of delaying? >> yes, there was. but because i spent so long working on it, i was like, this album has to come out. >> with much of the world locked down, it wasn't clear if anyone would want to listen to dance songs or how she could even promote the album.

>> globally of my album. >> reporter: the new album was an extraordinary success, commercially and critically. billboard, rolling stone and others called it one of the best of the year, and dua lipa was dubbed the quarantine queen. it worked out in a weird way. >> yeah, it did. it didn't end up being the night club experience but it ended up being the kitchen dance parties and the sound track to people's workouts at home to kind of keep them sane during that time. >> it also gave people the fantasy of being out at the club? >> being out, i hope so. >> reporter: in may she released her third album called radical optimism and is now rehearsing for a year long tour in 28 countries. >> i'm still getting my timing while i'm rehearsing. those first beginning notes. they're really fast. so i just have to practice to

>> yeah, i think it was very unfairly treated by the times. >> did that experience make your reticent to be outspoken again? >> no, because it hasn't stopped me from talking about things i believe in. >> reporter: whatever dua lipa's political or personal opinions may be, for now, you won't find them in her music. she wants that to be something that will help lift you up, get you out and maybe, just maybe take a spin on the dance floor. cbs sports hq is presented by progressive insurance. i'm james brown. braylon and brees break through and ball out to bag the battle. the browns make jacksonville reconsider that stadium's name.
