brendan, thank you for joining. when you hear that ag bondi is creating a weaponization working group. what do you think is the intent? >> i think it's an intent to rewrite history. the basic problem that the new attorney general has is that her boss, the president, committed a bunch of crimes, and so did a lot of rioters who were acting in his name for his legitimacy and for hers. they need to rewrite the history of january 6th. and that's what i think this working group is meant to do. >> you know, one of the prosecutors who was fired for working on january 6th cases questioned bondi's decision to even review the cases. listen. >> and i do think it's a bit of a double edged sword for this administration to keep attacking january 6th, because, well, quite frankly, it may not end well for them because of the strength of the evidence and the strength of these cases. and as i used to tell d.c. juries, um, you don't have to take my word for it. you can look at the video because this is the single most recorded crime in

"60 minutes" is not apologizing. many journalists contend this whole thing is overblown, that new york stock exchanger including fox also do such editing. >> the suit is widely regarded by legal and first amendment experts as, well, as one put it, quote, a frivolous and dangerous attempt by a politician to control the news media. howard: but it certainly seems possible that cbs will be writing a large check to donald trump. remember after the capitol riot when facebook banned president trump? twitter, by the way, did the same thing. trump sued, and marker berg, who runs parent company meta, has agreed to pay $25 million to settle the lawsuit
