joining us now is representative zoe lofgren, democrat of california and a member of the january 6th committee. congresswoman, thank you so much for joining us this evening. i want to ask you about these weeks of hearings that your committee is planning for next year. first, is it true that that's the plan? what can you tell us about that, and can you give us any sense of what these public hearings will be about and who some of the witnesses might be? >> not at this point. what we want to do is to gather a comprehensive set of all the facts we can find that tell the complete story about the events leading up to the january 6th event and tell that in a way that is credible, that's true, and understandable. that involves a series of hearings with witnesses to tell the story of what happened, and i think it's very important. if we just do an investigation, write a book, and put it on a shelf, we will not have accomplished our goal of having the american public have the opportunity to really tune in to what happened, fully understand it so that we can make sure that nothing like this eve

joining us now is a member of the select committee, california democratic congresswoman zoe lofgren. appreciate you being with us. do you think the full house will support your committee's vote to hold mr. meadows in contempt? >> anderson, before i answer that, let me just say that all of us are with you thinking about the people who suffered so much in kentucky from these terrible tornadoes. and let me answer also that we intend to go to the rules committee promptly and have the full house take this up. but i think the case that has been made is overwhelming. mr. meadows sent all of these documents and he didn't claim any kind of privilege about them. you can't retroactively claim privilege. some of these are really extraordinary pieces of evidence and require additional explanation. he owes us an explanation, and we need to get it. and his unlawful refusal to answer the questions about the material that he has acknowledged is not subject to executive privilege. it's just simply unacceptable and illegal. >> we noted the committee revealed texts from lawmakers to meadows discussing t

. >>> let's bring in zoe lofgren. congresswoman, thanks for joining us.naed by your panel. what specifically are you looking to find by going this route? >> details. as you know, this is a gigantic puzzle. we've got many pieces and we need to put some more pieces together, as your reporter explained. this is not the content any of text or phone call. it's time, place, it's data. really it's metadata, and it will help us put together the picture. by the way, mark has sent over volumes of material, including realtime communication as the riot unfolded without an assertion of privilege. the committee wants to ask him about some of that, and it's really untenable that all of a sudden at the last minute he's saying no, that somehow there's some reason why he can't talk about this. especially after his book is out. apparently. i haven't read it yet but from reports recounting conversations he had directly with the president. he's reporting on that in his book for money, but refusing to talk to the committee about it. that's untenable. >> if you get the metadata

congresswoman, zoe lofgren, think you so much. >> thank you so much. >> all right, there's been a lot of news about the only current variant. honestly, it's been very hard to know what to make of. it there's a lot of discussion, it's all preliminary. on the other hand we're getting some new data that seems pretty concerning about evading vaccine protection. there is also encouraging statements from the fire ceo about their boosters efficacy against this specific variant. and i've been trying very hard in the last 24 hours, 48 hours, to push all this data and figure out how we should be thinking what lies in front of us. and we're going to do that together with some really smart guest, next. guest, next. i've been telling everyone... the secret to great teeth is having healthy gums. crest advanced gum restore. detoxifies below the gumline... and restores by helping heal gums in as little as 7 days. crest. the #1 toothpaste brand in america. for rob, it took years to find out why his constipation with belly pain just wouldn't go away. despite all he did to manage his symptoms... day aft

zoe lofgren. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. lofgren: madam speaker, i want to highlight an important element of reform that really came out of work a while ago from the house administration committee. most americans believe this. before an adversary reaches out to interfere in our elections, the campaign ought to report that to law enforcement. instead, as we saw in the previous administration, campaign officials welcomed and in some cases even solicited foreign assistance for political activities. this bill creates a duty to report illicit offers of campaign assistance from foreign governments to law enforcement. it also clarifies what is a thing of value. it includes information sought or obtained for political advantage like opposition research. it ensures that individuals engaging in misconduct with foreign actors to influence our elections would be held accountable. it also ensures that foreign money cannot influence our politics through state and local ballot initiatives and referendums, closing a loophole that recently w

lofgren is recognized. >> first, thank you for letting me pop on even though i am not a member of this subcommittee. to ask just a few questions about the wildfires way should. -- the wildfire situation. this has been a catastrophe in the west and our home state of california. certainly, federal resources are needed. sometimes, i think that we underestimate how improving modeling data can actually help in this situation. i have a couple questions. how will the next generation of noaa satellites improve wildfire detection and monitoring. also, what other space-based observation capabilities for real-time detection has noah explored? have we thought about small satellite constellations? finally, what is noaa doing on interagency collaboration when it comes to wildfire modeling and detection? with other agencies, but also, was nonfederal partners to improve prevention and response. >> yes, thank you for that question congresswoman lofgren. i am from oregon. my home in central oregon was within a few miles of the biggest fires this year. this for me is very personal. if i can briefly state

and it also made political since that even people who lofgren the live reagan were afraidd that perhaps he was a little too quick on the trigger which she also understood something that many people did not know about ronald reagan which was that along with his harsh cold war anti-communist rhetoric, there's some idealism is a believer in it the primacy of armageddon and that he was enough and the ideal is to envision a world without lenuclear weapons. there was something she understood about him that not a lot of people dead at the time. and this is truly of marriage it so the two of them would have it the arguments where she would turn on his rhetoric and she was especially disturbed when he returned or referred to the soviet union as an evil empire had a pretty hilarious scene of the two arguing about it over dinner one night but she does understand that gorbachev, he potentially has a partner to or who could work with him on this and she is just absolutely relentless and pushing for this. and the reservations, there was a lot of it hardliners and her husband's own administration and

we are joined by a member of the select committee, zoe lofgren.uing that it outweighs trump's requests for executive privilege and confidentiality and all that. can you lay out the case and what are you hoping that the court will listen to at the end of the day? >> well, first, the court doesn't need to take this case up at all. the trial court and the appellate court basically said that the former president had no case. the claim of executive privilege was not found to be valid since the current president, president biden, has waived it as to these records. as the appellate court noted in order to get injunctive relief, you need to show a likelihood you'll prevail at trial and the former president didn't try to do that. he just -- he just said he wanted to win but made no showing as to irrepable harm. it's worth noting, as of today, a whole series of former ronald reagan, george w. bush white house lawyers and justice department officials filed what's called an amicus brief saying that congress should prevail in this and that basically the presid

. -- today, 348 days into the session, chair lofgren is just now filling this requirement but chose to do so without a full committee. this requirement is being filled by our subcommittee on elections. oversight of federal elections is important and a key piece of the committee's jurisdiction. elections are a fraction of what members are able to speak to during a true members hearing day. we should be able to speak that the people's house is not open to tours. we should be able to talk about mask requirements on the house floor. we should be able to talk about metal detectors for members of congress. today we are having a hearing on the friday before christmas. almost like the democrats are trying to hide something from the public of the bad policies of their legislation. kind of like they did in rushing through hr1, a mandate to states and localities on every minute detail of how elections should be operated. hr1 would have gutted voter id laws, would have nationalized elections, would have restricted state abilities to maintain accurate rolls, and would have legalized handouts funded

take a listen to what congresswoman zoe lofgren said last night about meadows possibly claiming executivee book. it's not out yet. you can't talk about things that you claim are privileged in another form and refuse to talk about it with the congress. we'll see whether he's waived any claims to privilege. also, the holder of the privilege is the president of the united states, not the former president. >> reporter: bottom line here, christi and boris, we could learn a lot this week during meadows' deposition. it could be either he cooperates or it could become a showdown between him and the committee because he doesn't offer enough information. >> daniella diaz, thank you. >>> in georgia, stacey abrams is once again running for governor, setting herself up for a potential second showdown with republican brian kemp. this is shaping up to be quite a race especially after 2020 and false claims of fraud from the former president leading to a standoff with brian kemp. kemp held his ground against donald trump, but now he may lose the governor's mansion to a primary challenger. greg bluestein i

now, congresswoman lofgren who is a member of the committee, she told cnn she thinks this attempt by meadows to take this to court is nothing more than a delay tactic by meadows. >> it doesn't look like there is much merit to this lawsuit. but, you know, isn't it interesting that while he's out selling his book for money that includes portions where he talked directly, reveals conversations with the president, he's trying to keep from telling the truth to the committee. it's just not tenable, but, you know, the lawsuit looks to be not very well founded. >> reporter: so the committee will continue to move forward with the criminal contempt referral. as we said, thompson telling us that could happen as soon as next week. meanwhile, they have a number of depositions that are still planned for later this week. the committee still remaining confident that they're getting enough information from these other folks they're talking to, more than 275 people, that even though they are seeing some resistance from these high-profile trump-aligned individuals, they are still going to be able to ge

in an interview with me in the situation room, committee member zoe lofgren noting his prior cooperation in turning over thousands of documents is not buying meadows' privilege claim. >> he's sent this information over. obviously, he did not believe it was privileged. or he wouldn't have sent it. and so, to refuse to answer questions about it is really -- it's not the way things work. you assert privilege on a question-by-question basis. and he is just trying to escape telling the truth to the committee. >> tonight, the committee chairman bennie thompson says lawsuit or not, they plan to move ahead next week with a criminal contempt referral. joining us now, the california democratic congressman, house intelligence committee chairman, and select committee member, congressman adam schiff. he is the author of the best-selling book "midnight in washington, how we almost lost our democracy and still could." congressman, thanks so much for joining us. what's your reaction politically and legally to mark meadows' lawsuit against the committee and the speaker nancy pelosi? >> well legally, i th

. >> congresswoman zoe lofgren sits on the committee.s like that from the mark meadows book, what goes through your mind as somebody who was there in the capitol on january 6th? >> well, it doesn't match the reality that i saw and experienced. nor the evidence that we are accumulating. but you know, we'll get to the bottom of this. we'll get all the facts, and we will present it all to the american people, and inform ourselves as to what legislation should be adopted to make sure this never happens again. >> obviously, there's been a lot of attention on mark meadows' book. your fellow committee member, congressman adam schiff, says meadows' new book raises questions about the very claims of executive privilege he's been planning to present. how much do you believe he'll cooperate when he's expected to testify next week? >> well, we'll see. he's acknowledged, through his attorney, that clearly there are questions that would have really, in your wildest dreams, could not be connected with any claim of executive privilege. i haven't read th

craig is back here tomorrow, up next, garrett haake will talk to representative zoe lofgren.aake, starts right now. >> good day, this is "andrea mitchell reports." we're following breaking news on the coronavirus. a second confirmed case of the omicron virus in the united states. a vaccinated resident of minnesota that recently tested positive. it including tens of millions of free at home covid tests, a nationwide booster campaign, and strict new testing requirements for all inbound international travelers. >>> we're 36 hours away from another big deadline on capitol hill. there is movement on a short-term solution on a government shut down that would happen friday at

other thing of course, leigh ann caldwell you saw her try to get information from congresswoman zoe lofgren but was not successful. that the question. we have some of the text messages read into the record by adam schiff and other members. on january 6th, 2021 mike pence as president of the senate should call out all electoral votes he believes are un-constitutional as no electoral votes at all. another lawmaker to meadows yesterday was a terrible day. we tried everything we could in our objection to the six state. i'm sorry. nothing worked. another lawmaker to meadows the president needs to stop this asap. i think the big question now is who are these lawmakers? who was he talking to? do you think this informing is ultimately going to be disclosed? congressman schiff said we're not disclosing those names for now. >> i think it will all come out. i think they're being very systematic about this. i am impressed at the discipline of this committee. they're not leaking. the presentations tonight were concise. they were not duplicative. they are going to have these hearings and they're going to

but that is true because of that is because you lofgren. if you didn't need 40 republicans generally you only needed one or two but i remember working on this because google came from states. i really didn't seem to be well we disagreed the goat out on the floor debate but we never called anybody names i don't think. will some did a couple of times. there are a couple of stupid things said. i thought is more civil pretty. >> while he made it clear and he said your friendship proceeded 1976, at any time of the things that you worked on together and course the home free. sue met will back into japan, i lived there and i introduced him really. >> what you think it is different. i guess what i'm getting at is that for years of people safe need to have a liberal party in the conservative party will guess what, we have them and you parties that only have liberals and only have conservatives in are you happy with what you have pretty. >> will be to monitor as we have an new york times take care of one or two a year and we have susan collins and an

committee member zoe lofgren told us earlier today the records include, quote, volumes of material, including, look, erin, we don't know yet the details of who meadows was communicating with that day. but we do know a lot of people had meadows' cell phone. so, think about it. white house officials, rally -- rally organizers, trump loyalists, members of congress. all should be aware that if they were communicating with meadows, texting, e-mailing on january 6th, the committee may already have those documents. i just want to add one thing. if donald trump is as mad about mark meadows' book as we're hearing, he's going to be furious when he realizes that meadows handed over all these records with no claim of privilege, erin. >> which is stunning, as to why now all the sudden he is not cooperating, not showing up. i -- it seems so nonsensical. but you do have some exclusive reporting on the january 6th committee and the phone records because you mention, you know, the crucial nature of whether it's texts or phone calls with mark meadows who would have been sort of a centerpiece of the web here bu

member zoe lofgren indicated he did so yesterday and today we got the letter for the chair saying to meadow's attorney who details some of those communications he did hand of with the committee. those include a series of text messages on january 6th with a member of congress. the letter says about appointing alternate electors in certain states as a part of the plan as a member ac nonld would be highly controversial in which mr. meadows apparently said, quote, i love it. he also sent tech moonls to the head of the organizer on the rally of the ellipse. so these are really perhaps damming information that meadows has provided to the committee. now meadows says she not no longer going to cooperate. he did not show up for his scheduled deposition today and that is what prompted benny thompson to send that letter to meadow's attorney saying they will move forward with this criminal contempt referral charges they will send to the department of justice. so they could move as early as this week. we're waiting to hear on a specific time line for that but there could be ram identifications fo
