directs the chairman to issue a subpoena for relevant documents and testimony under oath from donald john trump. >> that was the rationale. the vote was historic, and in a democracy that works and functions well, and ours sometimes does, there has to be transparency. people have to go on the record. public officials who wield power have to both explain what they're doing and then do it in public. that happened today in this committee that has been so attacked and maligned by the people who have been in its crosshairs and yet has, according to many nonpartisan experts, conducted itself quite professionally. through that transparent process you will hear the vote, which was unanimous. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> this is a legally and congressionally aggressive step. this is not just a normal thing, not something that's happened before, even in the case of donald trump who of course has tested many, many legalities, many norms, many traditions. but this is the first time the congress, through its committee, has hit him with this. trump courts this image of constantly

and donald trump and john eastman who is his attorney have been blocking that. to understand why. why are they so afraid? today we learned what trump and eastman are so afraid of. the e-mails show that john eastman and maybe his only good legal move ever told donald trump, hey, you can't use these voting numbers in your federal court litigation. they're wrong. trump said i'm going to do it anyway. he did it personally anyway, alex. he personally signed a document saying i'm certifying this as correct to the best of my knowledge. on the basis of what my attorney told me. and the document said this is under penalty of perjury. you have in black and white a federal judge saying, donald trump, you lied to a federal court under penalty of perjury. that is straight up a crime. what this means is for the january 6 committee, it is super charges the subpoena. because you now have a federal judge saying donald trump personally committed crimes. and this is information that the january 6 committee, the e-mails have been trying to get, it also super charges the georgia pro

in other words, trump knew them numbers were wrong, and he lied anyway. john eastman and donalde. more of those emails about potentially criminal conduct are headed to the january 6th committee, just as the january 6th committee plans to issue a subpoena to trump, quote, soon. the decision also had significant consequences for the ongoing investigation by fulton county, georgia, district attorney fani willis. and the justice department into trump's election schemes, and his involvement in january 6th. in other words, buckle up. joining us now is neil koch, former u.s. acting solicitor general during the obama administration, and current professor of law at georgetown university. no better tough person to talk to get all of this. thank you for joining me tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> and so how meaningful is this? we are now old enough to remember the number of times that donald trump has lied publicly. how meaningful is it that he is apparently lying in federal court? >> >> >> this is a really big deal, alex, you said buckle up, and i think that's exactly right. what h
