>> mark strassman in atlanta, thank you. >>> we're joined now by maryland congressman jamie raskin, aocratic member of the january 6th select committee. good morning. >> thanks for having me, major. >> former president trump says that maga republicans are trying to save democracy and want to be taken seriously on this issue. let's review what he said this week earlier. he said the 2020 election should be rerun or he should be reinstated in office, and that if re-elected in 2024, he would provide apologies and full pardons to those charged and/or convicted for storming the capitol january 6th. evaluate that. >> first, if he's saying that the elections should be rerun, which is something he's been asserting from the beginning, that's outside of the constitution. there's no procedure for the military to just seize the election machinery and run a new election, which is one of the things that his disgraced former national security adviser michael flynn was pushing and was part of the january 6th plot. and, look, more than 60 courts rejected every claim of electoral fraud and corruption, w

i'll get reaction from a key member of the january 6 committee, congressman jamie raskin. >>> plus president biden honing his midterm message. he's defending his fiery speech on democracy against criticism it was too political and trumpeting another round of economic numbers showing a strong jobs market. >>> and serena williams set to make another run at history after defying expectations all week. the tennis legend will take the court in a third round u.s. open tonight. >>> welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. wolf blitzer is off today. i'm brianna keilar, and you are in the si"the situation room." >>> we begin our coverage this hour with a detailed new look at materials seized from mar-a-lago. the unsealed inventory reveals more than 48 empty folders with classification banners. it also finds personal items like clippings and clothing mixed in with sensitive documents. sara murray is joining us with more on this. sara, we're learning a lot of new information in this filing. >> that's right. the justice department acknowledges normally we would not get a glimpse

joining me now is a member of the january 6th committee, jamie jamie raskin. he's made the following charge. >> when you see that the white house switchboard connected to a rioter's phone, that's a big aha moment. >> somebody in the white house was calling a rioter? >> i only know one end of the call. >> an alarming finding. what can you confirm? what can you talk about? >> well, that's one of thousands of details the committee is aware of. our job is to put together a comprehensive portrait and narrative timeline of what took place. you know, to me, it's interesting, but much less interesting than the fact that donald trump told the crowd in public, you've got to fight like hell. if you don't, you're not going to have a country anymore. look, we're interested in telling the big story, which is this was an organized. premedicated deliberate hit against the vice president and the congress to overthrow the 2020 presidential election. i think the public understands the basic elements of the story. what we're going to do on wednesday is fill in the details that ha

congressman jamie raskin is a democrat from maryland. he sits on the bipartisan january six committee, and he joins me now. first, i guess, congressman, your reaction to these developments which i imagine you are learning from the news as we all are. the subpoenas that have gone out to some of these individuals, including stephen miller. the focus of these grand jury subpoenas on the super pac created in the wake of an election. what do you make of it? >> nobody should be surprised by it because, financial crime follows in donald trump's wake. as you know, i've argued for a long time that trump really should've been impeached the first time for his rampant violations of both the foreign and domestic and documents causes as he was raking in millions of dollars from foreign governments. and also taking money from domestic federal departments and agencies in the hotels and golf courses and so on well it's a scam. for self enrichment for him and he converted the government into an instrument of capital gain with for himself and his friends.

congressman jamie raskin, thanks for your time tonight. >> you bet.nks for having me. >>> and you are in the "cnn newsroom." just in, president biden speaks out on the classified documents found at former president trump's mar-a-lago resort. >>> also, did he just declare the covid pandemic over? highlights from his new "60 minutes" interview, up next. yeah, i'm really excitited. alright, that sounds great. so i i'm making plans for right now. ♪ like going back to my roots and opening my own restaurant. ♪ start your plan today with a northwestern mutual financial advisor and spend your life living. ♪ (cecily) adam. look-y what i got...

(cecily) so is the deal i got from verizon. iphone 14 pro, on them! you should get one. oh, selfie time! wow, you can hustle when you n

here is what jamie raskin said. >> you won't know what the soup will taste like until we get there.i promise you it will be interesting for people who followed it up until now. >> he wasn't any clearer when i tracked him down at the capitol on thursday. >> is there going to be significant new information in the hearing? >> i suppose that will be in the eye of the beholder. >> in the eye of the beholder. this is a different tone that we've heard in the past hearings in which they have promised significant new information. they're not saying that here. we do expect information about the secret service, how they dealt with the runup to january 5th and 6 th. what they were saying behind the scenes but what else do you expect? >> we're in a very different world than the last time we had a hearing. the mar-a-lago search happened. there is a lot of investigations heating up, sucking oxygen is the reason raskin is trying to under play instead of over play what they have. we knew what they were up to interviewing cabinet members, talking about 25th amendment conversations and secret service

unlike what goes on here the temper tam run th tantrums. >> jamie raskin laid it out.g in vermont. welcome back. >> good to be you. >> do you agree with what your colleague said? >> i do. you know what this epitomizes? donald trump began the lie, the stop the steal lie. it culminated in january 6th. but actually, that was the end of the beginning, because when you go back, even before he won in the hillary election, he was indicating he was going to contest the election because it was rigged. of course, he won, so he was okay with that outcome. but then he began the same thing before the votes were even counted. so essentially, he has created this reality for a lot of folks who support him, right or wrong, including tommasi. tom massey. this is what the january 6th commission is helping us expose, that this was not a spontaneous event. it was not imaginary. we saw in the clip folks climbing into the capitol. but this was actually premeditated. it was planned. there was an effort to intimidate the vice president and electors, and they were also planning on getting false

joining us now is congressman jamie raskin, democrat from maryland and member of the january 6th committee. congressman ras kin, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> you bet. >> let me just first start with where you think the country is at. the president offered a very pointed, i would call it a line of criticism, it was bluntly an attack on maga republicans, who he accuses of being usurpers of democracy. which is obviously paraphrasing. do you think we are on the precipice of civil war? the polling around this shows the democrats think it's likely, by percentage of 39%, republicans 58% of the gop believes we are on the precipice ofon civil war, where do you believe we are? >> well, it was a superb speech that president biden gave in philadelphia. he talked about the defense of democracy, and the defense of equality. i think we need to elaborate further the defense of freedom. it was lincoln after all who said that constitutional democracy is the beautiful silver platter upon which rests the golden apple of freedom. and in america, democracy is clearly under attack, as we saw on

take a look. >> jamie raskin was here yesterday with bob costa. >> i heard.earing may be the last hearing that the committee has. can you confirm that? >> no. that's not right. >> okay. so this hearing will not be the last hearing that we will see? >> we don't anticipate it will be the last hearing. >> so your sense of it, though, is that this week the last investigative hearing there might be some sort of wrap-up, summary piece at some point. but you think that will be after the mid terms? that's the indication i'm getting. i checked in late last night. so this is after both congressman cheney he and ras kin and adam schiff spoke on sunday. i think the most up to date situation. they're going to have the last investigative hearing on wednesday. and that they don't expect to schedule more hearings at least before the mid terms. in part because some of the members have to go and campaign. people like a front liner. a vulnerable democrat. so she really needs to be out there on the campaign trail. i think the big caveat is if the committee gets a big witness or

join us as maryland congressman jamie raskin. he serves as well on the oversight committee which has an interesting mar-a-lago case. congressman, appreciate you being here for us. what's your reaction to how this fight over the mar-a-lago documents is playing out in court? particularly that the trump trump legal team will not actually go on record with the former president claims of declassifying the documents? >> well, i don't want to speculate, but i have to imagine that people don't want to add perjury to the list of offenses he has to deal with. as john bolton publicly speculated, it's almost certainly a lie that donald trump had somehow attempted to declassify, before in prior cases of declassification there have been some sort of executive order or memorandum, and there's just no evidence to support it. it's also pretty much irrelevant to the offenses he's being investigated for. you know, like obstruction of justice, like concealment of evidence or concealment of military defence secrets. it doesn't have to be classified i

. >> this is over the weekend, jamie raskin, one of the democrats on the committee.s this important? remember, a lot of people have said a crowd showed up for the trump rally, then they went to the capitol. it was spontaneous, it was unfortunate. jamie raskin says this piece of evidence should convince you no way. >> someone who saw how things were going. there were clearly understood the preparations taking place f. you think you almost knock over the government of the united states spontaneously, then you haven't been paying close attention. >> that's the arc the committee is trying to build. from election night through invection day and even through the biden inauguration and some would say continuing into today, this is not an accident. this is not spontaneous. this is the plan. >> this clip from roger stone speaks to the heart of it, that trump and his allies had no intention of accepting the results if it didn't go trump's way. the violence was planned, premeditated, part of the plan "a.m.: wake-up call" long, not some spontaneous thing that happened on january

that's the center of my threat that he posed to the republic. >> congressman jamie raskin, democrat for maryland member the january six committee. thanks so much for joining us tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> we have much more to get to this hour, we're gonna talk live with the woman the democrat, who beat sarah palin to be alaska's next member of congress. we will talk to senator amy klobuchar about president biden 's speech and what she as a member of senate judiciary committee thinks about trump's mar-a-lago documents ramah. next, former u.s. attorney joyce vance will join me to unpack what happened in a florida courtroom today, where doj lawyers faced off with donald trump's legal team. stay with us. eam. stay with us stay with us i typed in grandma's name and birth year... and there she was, working at the five and dime. my dad's been wondering about his childhood address for 70 years... and i found it in five minutes. ...that little leaf helped me learn all the names from the old neighborhood... it felt like a treasure hunt. the 1950 census adds vivid new detail to your famil

here is jamie raskin responding to that. >> that's one of thousands of details that that committee is aware f. to me, it's interesting but much less interesting than the fact that donald trump told the crowd in public, you've got to fight like hell. >> of course, this is coming as we continue to learn more today from committee members about what can be expected from their investigation going forward, including, of course, this wednesday's upcoming hearing. we want to bring in nbc's standing by for us. walk us through this, ali, if you will. what are committee members saying about that 60 minutes bombshell we heard? as well as what to expect on wednesday and beyond? >> yeah, yasmin. judging from committee members reactions on this sunday show this morning to this 60 minute clip, it looks like they would've rather been talking about the -- the form is congressman comment on 60 minutes. they downplayed his role on that committee and seem to pour cold water on his role in the investigative work of the committee as a whole. in an 18 into nbc news from the january 6th committee, they even s

look at the most recent people like adam schiff, who was the the head of the impeachment panel jamie raskin another major figure in the impeachment issues james comey. when he was in charge of the fbi, and these people got very substantial advances. on books based entirely on their experience as public figures and that to me is a very odd reward for public service and kind of corrupting. because it says to you. the more controversial i am the most no more notorious i am the more money. i'm going to make and that's a publishers it, you know prerogative to spend that money and it's always irritated me and so that you know, so i can't really be accused of hypocrisy once i started public affairs, which is 25 years ago. i would never have ever paid any of the kinds of money that people were throwing around now, but because of you know, one thing in another i was able to publish a number of major major books by people like paul volcker the great fed chair earning jordan the great civil rights leader george soros who obviously doesn't do it for the money. i was able to find the wesley clarke when

as you heard jamie raskin there saying that he's going to work towards putting out this report by thend of the year. now, the committee has largely, for the last few weeks, been putting their heads down, in investigative mode, behind the scenes, really looking at new threads, pursuing new leads. and they have been very clear who they want to speak with next. they want to hear the testimony from former vice president mike pence. they also want to hear from newt gingrich, former speaker of the house, a trump loyalist, they want to speak with gingrich about his communication with trump that they had the claims about the election results. they also want to speak with ginni thomas. he's the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas. they want to speak with her about her efforts and her pressure on state lawmakers to overturn the election results in at least two states. now, the committee has been clear that they anticipate and that they would like to hold at least one public hearing this morning at some point. but, john, as of yet, that hearing has not been scheduled. >> we'll wait to

but who knows. >> mark, frankly, jamie raskin is saying out loud what a lot of us are worried about. how concerned are you about those empty folders? >> sure katie, it's a big concern, and let me say what it's not, this is what jared kushner i think i set on british television, he called her paperwork issue. let me dispense. that is certainly a paperwork issue. this is an issue that if i was on the national security field, or even alzheimer tired, if investigators found not only top secret documents but also covers sheets, i'd still be talking with them in a dark room right now. and the way i look at this is that there's two categories, one of the documents bill self, that's what the fbi in the doj is certainly going. over they should be damage, assessment and this is c within those, documents because they're classified information about our sources or the compromise of collection systems or satellites, the second part is that these empty folders those were the lead for potentially serious bill. and i think for counter intelligence investigators's a nightmare scenario because it goes

a series of highly effective hearings laid out by member jamie raskin as he rebutted republican criticismt week. >> you pulled the plug on the investigation you originally advocated, because donald trump didn't want it. let's tell some truth. we're talking about truth, i'm giving you the truth. again, you guys boycotted it because you wanted to put pro-insurrection members on the committee. and so we ended up with a bipartisan committee of people really interested in getting the facts, and you know what, this is what you guys can't stand. america listened to it because we had real congressional hearings. and 25, 30 million americans watching because we told the truth about donald trump's assault on democratic institutions and the right to vote in america. maybe you cant handle the truth, but that's the reality and nobody has laid a glove on any of the testimony that has come out during those hearings. >> you can't handle the truth, said jamie raskin. we have learned among the tranche of new evidence we're likely to see when the hearings are rescheduled is documentary footage from trump's

that's the center of my threat that he posed to the republic. >> congressman jamie raskin, member the january six committee. thanks so much for joining us tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> we have much more to get to this hour, we're gonna talk live with the woman the democrat, who beat sarah palin to be alaska's next member of congress. we will talk to senator amy klobuchar about president biden's speech and what she is a member of senate judiciary committee thinks about trump's mar-a-lago documents ramah. next, former u.s. attorney joyce vance will join me to unpack what happened in a florida courtroom today, where doj lawyers faced off with donald trump's legal team. stay with us. eam. stay with us r] the future. the way you see it is said to depend on where you sit. at x-chair, we think it also gets down to how you sit, which is why our technology is lightyears ahead. x-chair has done it again with our groundbreaking elemax technology, providing hours of infinite comfort no matter where in the world you're sitting by synthesizing the universe's elements, bringing hot, cold, and

but the january 6 kennedy, jamie raskin a member had a great quote he said were like cinderella we sortf expire at midnight and so at the end of the year, that committee does dissolve if you will unless democrats are able to hold onto power so they need to wrap up their work pretty quickly and write that full comprehensive report that they've been working on all summer. they are still juggling a few things but the report is their iomain priority. is there going to be a select committee on hunter biden, what areid they saying? >> they've promised to investigate not only hunter biden and some of his business dealings. they have said that they are going to investigate the investigation of january 6th. they believed that it was purely for political purposes. democrats would disagree, but that is certainly one of the areas. members on the far right have talked already about impeaching joe biden so there's going to be pressure foror that leadership team to move towards impeachment. i'm sure that isn't exactly the direction he wants to go right off the bat but he is going to be hearing from so

but the january 6 committee, jamie raskin had a great quote. he said we are like cinderella we expire at midnight and so at the end of the year that committee does dissolve, if you will, unless democrats are somehow able to hold onto power. they need to wrap up their work pretty quickly. they need full covering of the reports they have been working on all summer. they're still juggling a few things. the report is their main priority. host: is it going to be a select committee on hunter biden? what are they saying? guest: they promised to investigate not only hunter biden and some of his business dealings they have in fact said they are going to investigate the investigation of january 6. they believe it was for political purposes. democrats would clearly disagree but that is one of the areas. some members on the far right have talked already about impeaching jill biden --joe bid en. i'm sure that is not the direction he wants to convert of the bet. he is going to be hearing from some of the members on the far right. host: and other issue, david

geoff: earlier this month, congressman jamie raskin said the committee assumes that former vice presidentll testify before the panel. is that still a working assumption? has your committee received any commitments from him or his team? >> he said publicly that he would be very interested in coming in, and then that was walked back. the fact is, were we to engage in compulsion, there are issues about that. there isn't time for the litigation to run its course between nownd the end of this congress. we thought he would come in because he said he would, but i think he had a change of heart. geoff: a question about the timeline. we've got this hearing on wednesday, potentially one more hearing to outline the committee's findings, its work product. do you expect he will be able to present your report before the midterms? >> i doubt that. it's a huge volume of material, and we are working hard to get the report concluded. as you know, a select committee is established for the life of one congress. we've always known that. and the -- this congress is ending at the end of december, so we have to

maryland congressman jamie raskin told nbc news the committee is aware of a call between the white house switchboard and a writer during the attack. this is a clear and present danger. the committee has now received 800,000 pages of communicationa from the secret service. >> california congressman pete aguilar says this request was made a year ago. it's important that they are providing the information and that it continues to help in our investigative work. >> understand what exactly was happening on january 5th in january 6 to prevent another january 6 lawmakers are pushing to reform the electoral count act. >> but south carolina congresswoman nancy mace opposes the measure and says the current process works. >> the vice president was was not able to was not allowed constitutionally overturn the results of the electoral college. and for that reason, i voted against the bill. >> and congressman raskin says this may be the final part of their investigative public hearing, but the committee could come back later and present all of their findings reporting in washington reshad hudson, back

it's not just biden that the hypocrite the sanctimonious january 6 showboat jamie raskin. >> they don'tsults of the elections i don't go there way and that is why president biden was right to sound the alarm this week about this continuing it attacks on the constitutional order. >> i believe he knows he is an illegitimate president he is an illegitimate recess. so he knows he is an illegitimate president. >> so president trump is an illegitimate president? >> [laughter] >> you can run the best campaig campaign. you can even become the nominee and you can have the election stolen from you. >> frankly the fbi is weighing in on the election which makes it illegitimate. >> the president-elect is a legitimate. >> we can laugh at the hypocrisy but what coming out with the opponents being a threat to democracy is so divisive. even trump heater rent stevens condemned that when the president makes implicit claim to be a small the democrats they must be the big the democrat. the only insults as deplorable's while branding democrats as the sanctimony and condescension. >> when you start believing

. >> jamie raskin also signalled had there was a connection between roger stone and domestic extremist groups. another member of the committee responded to those comments. >> we know that stone and the ex-president had communications, we know that the ex-president and mr. bannon had communications. we can show stone's close connection with these extremist groups who played a big part in the violence on january 6. >> the january 6 investigation may be the most public effort to expose donald trump's attempts to undermine american democracy. but he is facing so many criminal probes at both the state and federal level that it can be a challenge just to keep up with them all. cnn's brian todd breaks them down for us. >> reporter: from mar-a-lago to the january 6 probe, to the election grand jury in georgia, to the trump organization cases in new york, a multitude of potentially explosive investigations are targeting donald trump from many directions. >> pretty remarkable that you have multiple different states, the federal and congress all investigating the same person at once, but that per

. >> chance x committee member jamie raskin says, they are aware of that call. today they issued this statement, quote, mr. riggleman had limited knowledge of the committee's investigation. he departed from the staff in april, prior to our hearings, and much of our investigative work. the committee is right on all the leads, and digested and analyzed all the information that arose, from his work. with that, let's get smarter with the help of our lead off panel tonight, luke broadwater, pulitzer prize-winning congressional reporter for the new york times, andrew weizmann, former fbi general counsel, and former senior member of the mueller probe. now he's a professor at nyu, and amy stoddard joins us. veteran washington journalist, and associate editor and columnist for real clear politics. andrew, since i know how much you love visiting the crew over at last word, i want to let you start us off this evening. maybe getting the pole position will make you like it here as much, let's talk about riggleman, he had a lot to say about roger stone earlier tonight. watch

one of the members, congressman jamie raskin said they want to complete the story of what they've alreadyevious hearings and focus on what they perceive as on going threats to democracy. the committee saying they're still weighing whether they'll actually make a criminal referral to the justice department. really at this point doj has numerous, on going criminal probes in all areas circling around the former president and his allies. victor and alison. >> trump ally and my pillow ceo mike lindell says that the department of justice has subpoenaed his phone. what do you know about that? >> so we've learned now this is all part of an investigation into an election security breach that allegedly happened in colorado during the 2020 election. mike lindell, he's been talking a lot about this. he even shared companies of the subpoena he received from the fbi. he told our team that what agents asked him, they approached him with questions about tina peter, the mesa county clerk who is facing charges for a scheme where she allegedly allowed an unauthorized z person to access voting machines. lind

. >> committee member congressman jamie raskin says he's not surprised the doj is taking a closer look the election. >> you might say, sure, jamie raskin, say that. he's a democrat. i want you to listen to this, from one time trump loyal none. you remember, he represented trump in trump's white house during special counsel robert mueller's investigation. well now, he says the situation for trump is not looking good. >> i think the president is in serious legal water, not so much because of the search, but because of the obstructive activity he took in connection with a january 6th proceeding. i think, and the attempts to interfere in the election count in georgia, arizona, pennsylvania, and perhaps, michigan. >> what do you think the possibilities are, indictment of former president trump? >> i think they are very high. >> all right, the former president's former lawyer says trump is in big, big trouble. while trump's current lawyers are still saying, the search was illegal, which is wasn't. with that, let's get smarter with the help of our lead off panel. luke broadwater joins us, pul

congressman jamie raskin confirms that the committee is aware of a call between the white house switchboardioter during the attack on the capitol. according to records obtained by cnn, the call was placed in the late afternoon and lasted nine seconds. raskin confirmed the call after former congressman revealed it on cbs's 60 minutes. >> you get a real aha moment when you see that the white house switchboard had connect today a rioter's phone while it's happening. you get -- >> wait a minute, someone in the white house was calling one of the rioters while the riot was going on? >> on january 6th, absolutely. >> and you know who both ends of that call -- >> i only know one end of the call. i don't know the white house end. >> joining me now is ali vitali on capitol hill and a former federal prosecutor and legal affairs columnist for "politico." committee members are distancing themselves, somewhat from him. what can you tell us? >> reporter: while it is an aha moment to the public, it's clear that the committee and its members have been aware of this. raskin said it was one of thousands of re

and ahead of the january 6th committee hearing next week committee member jamie raskin says they have more to reveal about roger stone as well as trump's attempt to keep power after the attack. let's remember the biggest question in all of this -- the biggest questions in all of this are still unanswered. what is the former president trying to keep under wraps and why? and speak of no good, terrible, very bad, it was another very terrible day on wall street. sorry. investors taking a bath. 401k as well, stocks falling to their lowest levels since november of 2020. is the fed overcorrecting is the question? and what does it mean for you putting food on the table, paying your bills, saving for retirement or getting a mortgage? and there's the latest on the crazy story of an nfl legend, a former state official, and welfare funds that ended up where they weren't supposed to go. lots more to come on all of that tonight so stay tuned over the next cup of hours. i want to first bring in, though, nixon white house counsel john dean, robert lipp, former general council for national intelligenc

in the words of jamie raskin, this is one of thousands that the committee has uncovered. they are seeing riggleman left but they had a lot of work left at that april point. but since his departure, the committee has run down all the leagues and digested and analyzed all the information that arose from his work, which is to say they went down the rabbit hole. this is a committee that often doesn't bury the lead. in fact, they are people who very much know where the news is. they present that front forward. they drive toward every single one of their conclusions without very much subtlety in all of these hearings. so the fact that this is not something we have heard about from the committee is important in the larger context. it's not to say this call isn't notable. but the way it is being presented as an aha moment, the committee, which presented many aha moments are throwing a bit of cold water on in terms of how important it is in the larger scheme of things. . >> history would kug suggest there will be more on wednesday. the doj is looking into january 6th. so what's th

. >> i talked to jamie raskin about this. will there be significant new information revealed. it's in the eye of the beholder, which is different than what he did before. major bomb shells in past hearings. i think we'll learn more about the secret service, and how all of those text messages that were deleted on january 6th in the run up to january 6th, within the secret service. we could learn a lot more about everything that was happening around donald trump to the right. >> if you think about the sequence of hearings as a prosecution and you were the prosecutor, what do you want to do at this point, what would your goal be, your final evidentiary hearing. >> that's the difference between a congressional hearing and a trial. if there was a trial, you want to end up with the sum up and the bomb shell and the ask to the jury. i think here they have had so many unexpected tangents they had to go down and run down substantively, this is a new area, they want to present the full picture. i don't expect it to look like a summation in a trial. >> it will be fascinating and hope you

time, roger stone certainly is someone they've been looking into and committee member, brianna, jamie raskin says stone was someone who saw where things were going. >> interesting defense. raising possibility that there's an accuracy in authenticity problem with this. sunlen, thank you for that report. >>> bring in cnn senior crime and just is reporter to talk a little more about what we're seeing here. the january 6th committee is actually holding a public hearing, perhaps its last public hearing. this is going to happen on wednesday, tomorrow. they've been looking for these ties. how deeply do these ties go between the circle people around trump and extremist groups like the oath keep canners? do do you think this will play a part? >> certainly sounds like it. some of the hints we're hearing what the hearing may be about could focus on roger stone. we know the committee is interested in even getting access to some of this footage from the danish filmmakers. we've seen throughout the progression of hearings the justice hearing is maybe a step behind, maybe not even a step behind the house i

. >> john: here's your congressman jamie raskin said about the effort to get books back in the libraries. efforts to remove books from schools, public library simply because they introduce ideas about diversity or challenge to think on their own lived experience is not only antidemocratic but also a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. i mean, clearly, there were two very, very diverse sides to this. there doesn't seem to be a lot of ground in the middle. is there some way for these two groups to meet in the middle? >> well, i think there is massive ground in the middle actually. most americans a libraries and places of intellectual learning should be diverse with all kinds of ideas. but when you go too far into teach things to young people, particularly, elementary school kids and in some level middle school kids they were not prepared to hear, it is part of supporting a gentile, liberal agenda social justice issues, critical race theories and things of that nature... b1 sorry to interrupt, standby, president biden. >> president biden: you paid into, holy mackerel!

revelations that they have had during the course of their investigative work according to congressman jamie raskin on "meet the press" yesterday and trying to do, to say that this is something they knew about despite the fact that he is calling it a ah-ha moment rolling out the new book, and they are looking at the short duration of time that they worked on it, that this is not something for them, who understand the full context and the scope of the revelations that they found, this is not that kinds of a moment for this committee, which i think if you look at the totality of the hearings over the past summer and the past few weeks, we have seen that this is a committee that doesn't often bury the lead, and so clearly, what they're trying to do here with the new revelation is try to tamp down on it and basically steer the ship back to the things that they would prefer to be talking about, which is the revelation and the conclusions that they're drawing in realtime over the course of each of these hearings, including the one that they are going to do wednesday which according to my sources, the und
