joining me now, ali vitali and julia ainsley. ali, the committee spent months trying to find links between the trump inner circle and individuals who planned the insurrection. that makes this footage critical. >> reporter: it makes it critical. it's why our sources are telling us it's likely going to be among the new elements we see from the committee tomorrow in a hearing that's supposed to be more sweeping in nature. you are right in saying it's probably the last of these hearings, or at least the last of the ones that are investigative in nature. we also know that there are likely going to be hearings around the final reports that they issue, potentially an interim report. definitely around the final report. all of that set to come before the end of the year. what these clips do is they further flesh out that this idea of stealing an election, declaring that you won, even if you don't know you did, is something that had been percolating in the trump orbit well before january 6. the committee also could go down the road after b
