let me bring in nbc news investigative correspondent julia ainsley with the latest. you're behind this reporting, along with our colleague pete williams. tell us what you know. >> well, hallie, we are now learning that as of last night the secret service became aware that the investigation into those missing text messages by the dhs inspector general is a criminal probe. when exactly it turned criminal, we're not sure. but the secret service learned about it last night. they received a letter telling them to preserve the communications, of course, and to stop trying to do internal investigations. in other words, they needed to not get in the way of what the dhs ig is calling an ongoing criminal investigation. i have to point out that just because it is a criminal investigation does not necessarily mean that there is, a, evidence of wrongdoing, it could turn out to not result in charges and it also, even if it does result in charges doesn't necessarily mean that there is a nefarious actor here that intentionally deleted text messages. they could simply be in violation

. >> let's bring in nbc news correspondent julia ainsley. covers the department of justice and the department of homeland security. julia, help us out here. we heard many reports that donald trump politicized the secret service agency, moving allies and friends into high positions. over the last couple weeks, we've had testimony from trump insiders inside the white house talking about this incident, about donald trump choking a secret service agent, grabbing the steering wheel. we heard other people saying, yes, that happened. now, d.c. cops are saying that that happened. but the secret service, off the record, denies it. now, we have this, an inspector general says, "hey, give me all your text messages, your electronic communications so we can figure out what happened on january 6th." and the ig says they deleted the texts after the request. what can you tell us? >> that's right, joe. the timeline here, you're spot on, and that's critical. because anyone who has ever had their records requested or subpoenaed knows that it is when you have t

nbc's julia ainsley, thank you so much for your reporting.ssist from your mom today. >> yeah, definitely. >> yes, this is my last day at my parents' house. i'll be back in d.c. it's been lovely. >> looks lovely. thank you so much for being with us. greatly appreciate it. you know, marc, again, i've looked at january 6th and the events surrounding it. often remind people of how the system did hold. it was close, but the system held. there are things, though, that these hearings have brought out. there are things that the investigations brought out, though, that are deeply disturbing still and things that need to be fixed. thank god, it look like the senate is moving forward, as the "wall street journal" wrote today in theirmoving forward wi legislation that will make a january 6th less likely in the future. the bill needs to be toughened up even more. so there's some things that give us reason to hope, but the secret service scandal that's erupted over the past week, the fact that you have a law enforcement agency destroying evidence of a coup

julia ainsley has new reporting. this is key to the time line. to know what happened when to help us answer that question, what's the new information? >> we want to know whether or not the secret service agents involved on january 6 knew to keep their records. as we learned, they were, in fact, reminded to hold on to all records. they got an email in december of 2020, another one in january of 2021 reminding them that as part of this new process where they were going to be restoring the factory settings on their phone, as government employees they needed to hold on to all of the records, including text messages. but this is critical. none of the email reminders were specific to january 5 and 6. secret service has maintained they didn't get that request from the inspector general until late february. they could not have been specific in requesting those records to be preserved from the key date. we can report that at least these agents were told to preserve this, take screen shots and include them in this system before everything is wiped from you
