that's all coming up. >> good evening, i am erin burnett. accusations of potential witness tampering. congresswomen, liz cheney, accusing president donald trump of trying to contact an unidentified january 6th committee witness in recent days. >> after our last hearing, president trump tried to call a witness in our investigation. a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings. that person declined to answer or respond to president trump's call. instead, alerted their lawyer to the call. their lawyer alerted us. this committee has supplied the information to the department of justice. >> that is a serious point to make. obviously, she's making a serious obligation. the justice department does have the power to prosecute if they see the former president tampered with a congressional witness. sources tell the cnn that trump is fixated by what is playing out in front of the world in these hearings. today, throughout the committees seventh public hearing, there were more devastating revelations. the committee accusing far right extremists of,
