long time trump adviser roger stone and trump lawyer john eastman.hutchinson testified, her former boss mark meadows planned to attend that january 5th war room meeting with eastman, rudy giuliani, and others. hutchinson said she told meadow going was not a smart idea, so he opted to dial in instead. now, this blockbuster hearing seems like a wild tale using fake electors and even violence to hand a presidential election to the loser. maybe that's because you don't fully remember the 2000 election. during last week's hearing, the committee played this clip of eastman addressing georgia republicans a month after the 2020 election. >> you can also do what the florida legislature was prepared to do, which is to adopt a slate of electors yourself. i don't think it's just your authority to do that, but quite frankly, i think you have a duty to do that. inserting florida into the mix in the most recent presidential election seemed odd and kind of like a throwaway. trump won that state, right? but it is a reminder of how some of the same characters from the

it is where roger stone was, it is where rudy giuliani was, it is where documented members of extremist groups were in and around, it is incredibly dangerous behavior. >> does it constitute a direct connection between the white house and the extremist groups? >> i think in a future hearing you'll hear about extremist groups. i'm not going to talk about what would have happened if you would have gone to that meeting, but i think it is clear from her testimony under oath that he wanted to have contact with those individuals, and ended up having contact, but not going physically to the willard hotel. >> cassidy hutchinson also testified she heard the words oath keepers and proud boys in the white house, particularly when rudy ugiuliani was around there. what other evidence do you have to that effect that the proud boys and oath keepers had been discussed within the halls of the white house? >> i think the public can just look at some of the documentary footage that we have seen, proud boys and oath keepers have been charged with seditious conspiracy. they have video documentation of them,

and in the same year, the group shared a video of roger stone, we're setting that slogan. , though, to be as precise as possible, as publicly asserted that he is not a member of the group. >> i am roger stone. i'm a western chauvinist. i refuse to apologize for creating the modern world. >> thank you, roger. the proud boys started mobilizing in support of right-wing figures, and made making more public appearances, after they were protesting and clashing during the 2017 speech, that mcinnis gave at new york university. 11 were arrested. there were fights. it was a lot of mayhem. again, it was at a time where people were trying to figure out what this was all about, and whether the so-called group was a real organization, or more of as some sort of a set of stunts. then, there were speakers with group figures like and colder and milo in our police. and makeshift security for certain speakers. and the proud boys -- something quite serious, they ultimately fatal charlottesville rally to quote, unite the right. 2018, they were showing up at a nancy pelosi, when miami in miami s

it's this group, but roger stone and michael flynn were also involved in these efforts. kind of coming back to what does feel like trying to rerun that old play book. >> certainly. and the cast of characters that materialized at the willard is a really interesting mix both of people who certainly had notable roles and historic episodes in the past as this video of eastman i had not seen before highlights but also people who very much are still part of trump's inner circle. boris epstein, one of the folks at the willard hotel works closely with former president trump. he's not somebody who has been, you know, marginalized or diminished whatsoever in the wake of january 6th. rather he plays an important role in president trump's current circumstance -- former president trump's current circle of advisers. we would expect that if trump does run again in 2024, boris epstein would very much be in the trenches with him based on everything that i know right now. bernie karik is also somebody whose testimony has flown under the radar but brought interesting information to the com

who was a videoed with roger stone on january 5th and january 6th.here was a plan between the willard hotel roll room of the trump campaign and these militia groups, that would be a really explicit fact. so i think we have right now is a potential inference and a suggestion. which would cause me to want to look a little further to find out whether this was a plan. ok a little fu rther to fin meanwhile, back at the white house. they were busy with -- 87 minutes of course, according to his chief of staff. they said this was testimony from the joint chief, mark milley. watch. >> they said, we have to kill the narrative that the vice president is making all the decisions. we need to establish the narrative that the president is still in charge and that things are steady, stable. that kind of thing i immediately interpreted that as politics politics politics red flag for me personally, no action but i remember it distinctly a mob descends on the capitol and it is all politics politics politics coming from the white house. make sure trump still looks like

, i don't like roger stone, okay, i think he is a jerk, and i thought he violated the law and go to prison myself, but he did not deserve to go for 2 to 3 times longer than others would for the same crime, that is what they were trying to do, that came on my desk, i would make the decision, i did what i thought was right, i knew the media was attacking me. i didn't it -- did it, it is one standard of justice for everyone, the president's friends are not treated differently and president's enemies are not treated differently. >> seems what you started i've of your stints as attorney general something big was going on, talladega with one champ ill example and the russian investigation. >> i knew i was getting into a highly charged situation. the left and their media allies, essentially all of mainstream media, they were trying to bring down president trump. they thought bob mueller would be st. george killing the dragon, okay. so, i realized that this was going to be a can of worms. and i also walked into a department that had been battered fighting the republicans and democrats on

i felt prosecutors were going to seek a penalty on roger stone, by the way i do not like roger stone, i think he is a jerk. i thought he violated the law and should go to prison myself. but he does not deserve to go to prison for two -- three times longer than other people who go wfor that very same crime and that is what they're trying to do. that came on my desperate once it came on my desk i was going to make the decision even i knew that media we claim i was doing this because he's the president. no, i did it because it is one standard of justice foror everybody. president's trip friends are not treated differently parade the presidents enemies are not treated differently.

roger stone has a lot of experience with them.hese people were and per the previous testimony that we've seen during these hearings, they were doing recon. some people who made really violent threats were doing recon with members of congress who were taking them to places that people don't normally go on tours. so they had intel on where to find people. they knew who to find and then they were siphoned off from the rally and sent to the capitol with the mob then coming up behind them. this is mike pence looking at trump. this is when trump finally sends out a video telling everyone to go home. that's one picture we see of mike pence looking wisconsinfully at that. then you've got a picture of pence moments after being evacuated. you can see him with his wife karen, daughter, brother, who voted to decertify the pennsylvania election and voted against having an inquiry into his brother's potential hanging, mike pence seemed to be the odd man out. did he understand donald trump was cultivating extremists around him? did he have any s

i don't know that we necessarily know along where they are for roger stone for example or rudy giulianien donald trump though i suspect that they will all intersect at some point,. >> what do you think chuck? >> i'm not trying to lead myself wiggle room with this answer, but i will tell you this, you are a lawyer it's okay. >> no, i was a prosecutor, big difference chris. let me tell you what i know and when i don't know. with a search warrant, that means agents the officer of the inspector general, could be the fbi or something else. goes to a federal judge and asked to review and sign a warrant, which attests to the fact that they have probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed and that they are going to find evidence of that crime in the place that they're going to search. mr. clark's house, or mr. eastman's phone and that is not a good thing if you are clark or eastman. never a good thing chris to have the fbi or somebody knock on your door and take your stuff. now, the wiggle room part of it. it does not mean that they're going to be charged with a crime. the many wh

that is more than any one term president in all of history and then there's roger stone.haracter. he is one of trump's longest serving allies. you may recall the treatment he got, arrested. footage showed feds coming in with that you are guns drawn in full protective gear. stone was seen with his hands up as he went under arrest. he also, true to his nature, wore roger stone did nothing wrong and taken into custody for crimes he would later face conviction for. he lost, lost, lost again, you see him there as he exited his home. he was ultimately pardoned by donald trump then there's steve bannon, a former trump adviser who actually has been indicted more than once, all pursuant to his activities either for trump or maga. most recently, you may recall, it was his outright defiance of the january 6th committee. >> everybody watching in the war room, we're here today. i don't want anybody to take their eye off the ball we do every day. stay focused. signal that noise. this is all noise. that's signal. thank you very much. >> signal not noise and it was a january 6th co-plott

we heard roger stone's name invoked today, why?t told meadows, i want you to talk to roger stone and rudy giuliani -- mike flynn, excuse me, and roger stone about what's going to happen on january 6th. now we hear meadows wants to go to that war room where they're planning what's going to happen on january 6th. meadows moves from disinterested kind of guy not doing his job to, i think, a key cog in this wheel. he's got to wake up. he's got to realize this is now the time to save this skin, legally, and i think the timing, i think, kate benner was right on the money about why this had to happen today, this testimony. part of it was security, perhaps, but part of it was timing, they believe this is the time to leverage pat cipollone, mark meadows, they need to put ultimate pressure on meadows. they told him today, this is the testimony we've locked in. are you going to help yourself, or are you going to go down with the ship? >> frank, real quickly, i thought one of the most harrowing things, and i looked back at my notes between the

plotting the coup that [inaudible] that we have known, and that that group included trump advisor roger stone among others. stone, who was in contact with far-right on groups like the proud boys and oath keepers. we also know that both of those right-wing gangs i just mentioned have since been charged by the department of justice with seditious conspiracy for their role in plotting -- in a quite granular fashion -- the attack on the capitol. cassidy hutchinson yesterday also testify that both far-right gangs, who have been accused of seditious conspiracy, kept coming up around rudy giuliani in the days before the attack. >> i recall hearing the word oath keeper and hearing the word cowboys closer to the planning of the january 6th rally, when mr. giuliani would be around. >> okay, that's interesting. again, maybe her recollection is imperfect. but that's a pretty notable piece of information. again, those groups, according to cassidy hutchinson's sworn testimony, they were being discussed in the west wing of the white house. that's where she was. not in the [inaudible] . but that's not all, p

roger stone existed then and now in both of these administrations, but he wasn't out there running a counternarrative, you know, media campaign to try to thwart what the findings were, but now you're going to have that. it's not even the roger stones of the world, it's formally norm core republicans, elise stefanik who used to be a moderate republican is out there leading the charge. she's taken charge of this idea, the facts that will be visually demonstrated and that we all saw on live tv. what do you make of that? >> it's not surprising. the republicans were saying there's no evidence, show us the evidence. it's all inference and many speculation and then they couldn't back out, it showed the involvement of the -- i believe that the january 6th committee will have evidence that will show the involvement of trump really beyond any kind of. >> i've been reaqianing myself with the absolute thinking little who have now -- who several of their leadership with --. do you think that that bolsters the case with what happened with the crime? >> well, i think it does, of course, but this ha

so you're saying people might wonder if trump made other controversial pardons, including for roger stonee do that here? you're raising the point it might have been dangerous to do it. >> i'm afraid what we did was a scheme to disrupt congress' business and overthrow the government with a factually basis, unlawful operation of the constitution and for how we count electors. how do you write that and not reveal that you believe and are pointing the finger at the president of the united states? >> it's like that spiderman meme. hey, the crime i did for you, we planned it together and everybody heard you talking about it up to and including the 6th. so, john, respond to this. here is someone we haven't heard as much lately, donald trump talking future pardons. >> if i become president one day, if i decide to do it, i will be looking to them very seriously for pardons, very, very seriously. we're going to take nine hours of depositions destroying people, destroying them. and in nine hours they'll put up a five-second clip where they got really tired. >> your response, john, what is he doing i

roger stone is known to have had ties with the oath keepers the committee reports the group provided him security on the 6th. meadows had asked hutchinson to start planning for him to meet with them at the hotel. >> i had made it clear to mr. meadows that i didn't believe it was a smart idea for him to go to the willard hotel that night. i wasn't sure everything that was going on at the willard hotel, although i knew enough about what mr. giuliani and his associates were pushing during this period. i didn't think that it was something appropriate for the white house chief of staff to attend or to consider involvement in. >> and in the end she said he didn't go but said he would call into their meeting instead on the morning of january 6th, hutchinson says another white house aide warned her boss, mark meadows, the protesters were carrying weapons >> i recall tony and i having a conversation with mark probably around 10:00 a.m., 10:15 a.m., where i remember tony mentioning knives, guns in the form of pistols and rifles, bear spray, body armor, spears and flag poles. spears were one it

we don't know how many times, for example, roger stone took the fifth.r 11 hours at the benghazi hearings and never took the fifth once. at least those other -- that's more than trump senior staffers fighting subpoenas including peter navarro who couldn't stop talking about his green bay sweep strategy on tv. >> it wasn't violence, it was the green bay packers sweep. the green bay packers sweep strategy. the green bay packers sweep. we had the political equivalent of that. >> then there's steve bannon described as a lit bomb in the mouth of democracy. he has been fighting his congressional subpoena like a man with something to hide, he seemed to have gleeful fore knowledge of the attack. >> all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. just understand this. all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. it's all on verging and now we are on as i say the point of attack, right? the point of attack tomorrow. all i can say is strap in. the war room, a posse, you have made this happen and tomorrow it's game day. >> trump's chief of staff mark meadows increasingly l

he did call roger stone. >> and yeah, and we'll get to that. and i know you're following every lead. on the removal of metal detectors, to make it easier to bring weapons, michelle, again, sometimes people don't like it when i say this, but legally there is an individual right to bear arms in this country. that is what the supreme court found. you can bear arms in certain contexts. so when we analyze these situations, if someone can say their goal and intent was only self-defense, then that can be lawful. the problem for donald trump, he's not talking about self-defense. he says the weapons will be used against other politicians. the target is someone else. the target removes the defense of self-defense if you're using weapons to target people. >> i mean, look, i think that donald trump frequently uses his narcissism towards reality as an alibi to say, of course, i just wanted more people in the crowd. i just -- i didn't want to say bad things about my supporters. kind of the problem with establishing a corrupt state of mind with donald trump i

her gut tells her it was roger stone. think we're gonna see more of a connection between extremist groups and people close to trump. >> absolutely remarkable. i have to say, we have yet to verify the fact that he was indeed hanging out of talking with roger stone. but, to your point, we've taken in that respect. thank you so much. meantime at this hour, thousands gathered in d.c. in parts across the nation in a march for our lives. but it's something that happened on capitol hill this week that is grabbing attention in the fight of forgotten against gun violence. -- first as another wrinkle to the economic story today. there are new numbers to share, like how much more are you paying each month because of inflation? that number next. n? that number next panera chefs have crafted a masterpiece... succulent, seared chicken... a secret aioli... clean ingredients... in a buttery brioche roll. made fresh, to leave you... speechless. panera's new chef's chicken sandwiches. $0 delivery fee for a limited time. when tired, achy fe
