there's no coincidence that this event in which he welcomed not only john eastman, but michael flynn, jeffrey clark, the man that urged the doj to put off all statements about the 2020 election, and they were up onstage, rudy giuliani was up onstage, and peter navarro, who spent time in prison for not complying with the subpoena from the january 6th committee, and they were watching a film that was a documentary about john eastman, and january 5th being the anniversary today, and january 6th was pressuring vice president pence to reject the electoral college votes saying he legally had the right to do so and last night while they were watching the documentary, it was donald trump and they watched the film play out, and guys, we did not know this event was taking place real time and was watching the videos on social media trickle out as donald trump, just a day before the kamala harris is set to certify and oversee the counting, he here in mar-a-lago in palm beach welcoming those individuals who tried to help him overturn the 2020 election being welcomed back to his home in florida. >>

[laughter] i can't wait for past patel to get confirmed. [cheering] your given only so much time on the stage and i've prepared some remarks. so many young people are here that are going to experience war but i won't go through prepared remarks because sometimes we get a little broke but i want all of you to understand -- i said this the day after this election, we can't declare victory over europe. i used the metaphor and use the analogy the day after the election d-day plus one. if you study history and know about world war ii, the attack on and the first day after a vicious set of battles we lost tens of thousands of local beaches is the attack, a day plus one couldn't declare victory that day. we can't declare victory just yet. we still have about 30 days to go see nonsense going on in congress. somebody gave me an update about wha

also michael flynn. jeffrey hart, the doj official who urged other officials to put out false statements. they were there for a movie screening featuring john eastman. this comes four years after the capitol attack which led to trump's criminal indictment. i want to let you listen to bennie thompson, who was the chairman of the january 6 select committee this morning talking to our colleagues about the event that took place here in florida. >> obviously, he's trying to rewrite history. we stand by the work of the committee. obviously, the department of justice, who finally decided to move forward, brought a number of indictments and people are in jail an now this president-elect wants to call them patriots. that's so unfortunate. >> reporter: in those remarks last night, donald trump, despite winning this 2024 election and about to be sworn in just two weeks from now, continued to admonish mike pence as former vice president for not rejecting electors four years ago. donald trump continued to defend his

people like rudy giuliani, michael flynn, jeffrey clark and peter navarro were in attendance as well. you know, on one hand, who cares what donald trump shows at mar-a-lago, except that in a few weeks he's going to be in the white house and this -- this wanders into the territory of things that the president is actually doing as president as opposed to the president-elect is doing with his friends. >> well, you know, criminals always return to the scene of the crime and they can't get over january 6 because they understand that that was the moment where their big lie exploded into full public consciousness and everybody could see where their lies were leading. they acted in the face of more than 60 federal and state court decisions repudiating every assertion of election fraud and election corruption that they were advancing about the 2020 campaign. and yet they can't leave it alone because they understand that this whole history that we are living through to this day has been warped and distorted by those lies and their attack on us. you know, at the swearing in on january 3rd of the

boasted a party at mar-a-lago and in attendance, john d smith, rudy giuliani, jeffrey clark and michael flynnall key players in his efforts to overthrow the election four years ago. joining us, tim heaphy, he is the author of harbingers, what january 6 in charlottesville reveal about pressing threats to american democracy. you wrote a book, tim heaphy? >> yes, i was involved in both investigations. there's a lot of parallels between the book and the book draws those parallels and zooms out more broadly to drive lessons about where we are is a democracy. >> i appreciate the fact you made that link, timothy, in this book. i really do. i don't think people get the connection that is at the core of what we see playing out now, and where a lot of those seeds come from. for you, watching the event last night at mar-a-lago where donald trump parades across the stage and elevates in particular respect mr. eastman . it's got to be disheartening but at the same time a recognition of just how much more diligent work has to be done to shore up the framework of this democracy in light of this administrati

overturn the election were also in attendance last night, including rudy giuliani, jeffrey clark, michael flynn, and peter navarro. while trump offers absolution for supporters, he promises retribution on their behalf against those who tried to hold him and his supporters accountable. in a post on truth social two days ago he once again attacked former republican congresswoman and january 6th committee member liz cheney as, quote, a war monger of low intelligence, end quote. referred to her and other members of the january 6th committee as, quote, dishonest thugs, end quote. tomorrow will be remarkable for how ordinary it will be. congress will meet to certify the results of a presidential election for the first time stins that dark day four years ago and it will be business as usual because there has been no effort to delegitimize the results of the election like four years. we will hope there will be a peaceful transfer of power it despite the person coming back to power tried to block that important democratic tradition four years ago. joining me is the democratic congresswoman stacey plaske

were other key trump's allies involved in those efforts, like rudy giuliani, peter navarro, and michael flynn. what do you take from that, with this anniversary looming tomorrow, congresswoman, that he will show that documentary last night and have among his guest those were part of it? >> you know, president-elect donald trump is still obsessed with what happened in the 2020 reelection and i myself -- and i think my colleagues -- we strongly oppose, obviously, any efforts to deny what happened that day and officer done is exactly right. when i was impeachment manager, we presented our case to the senate and at the end of our case, mitch mcconnell went down to the senate floor and he pretty much admitted that president-elect donald trump had committed these acts, but he said he would not vote to impeach or to convict because he thought the court should do it. then the courts did not act fast enough. what i think we should do is not be like president-elect donald trump and living in the past. we shall look forward, to see what president-elect donald trump and his allies say they will do to the

from james comey, when trump was trying to make the michael flynn case go away he applies maximum pressure. we know it president zelenskyy, can you do me a favor. trump knows how to make a phone call into it under the auspices of something legit and make his case in another matter. >> how are you preparing yourself? are you thinking differently? you were there for the first administration. you had several years in the majority and past a lot of legislation. a lot was good legislation. i'm not sure how much it helped you politically. how are you thinking about this congress? >> be purposeful. don't chase every ball that he throws. i was a junior member during the first term, having lived through exhausting ourselves going after everything. we need to be more purposeful and not waste the energy of our supporters. with greenland, if you want to try to buy greenland, i can tell you how many told us on the campaign trail and in polling and research groups that they wanted you to focus on that, zero. we should just say great but what about the cost of groceries? that's what we were promised. if

those allies who also spoke included jeffrey clark, john eastman, rudy giuliani, peter navarro and michael flynntrump giving each man a shout out from the stage. what they've done to rudy. but rudy's going to come out on top. it's just just a question of time. i don't. that was nbc's vaughn hillyard reporting in new york city. a controversial traffic plan went into effect today. it is now the first city in the country to have so-called congestion pricing. that means drivers have to pay a $9 toll to drive on city streets into the heart of manhattan. that toll drops to 225 during off hours. now, city officials hope it will reduce traffic gridlock while raising money for public transit. the fight to stop the rollout continued in court until late friday, when a federal judge ruled the manhattan toll could go forward. i think it's just a tax. it's not going to alleviate any congestion. places like chicago and los angeles, which also have pretty severe traffic congestion, are watching to see what happens here in new york. the program launchehed without major hiccups early this morning, but officials s

other election denitser were also in attendance though including peter navarro, rudy giuliani, and michael flynnd pivotal roles in keeping trump in power. we heard a lot about them in the january 6th select committee hearings. alan dershowitz also spoke on a panel about lawfare while trump stood in the back of the room and listened. italian prime minister georgia maloney was also there, and she's seen as a potentially strong partner for trump given her conservative credentials. >>> president-elect trump will be sentenced for his 34-count felony conviction just before he's inaugurated as the 47th president. judge merchan denied the motions to dismiss the case. he will appear either in-person or virtually. the judge wrote in the order that he will not sentence trump to prison time. in response, president-elect trump blasted the judge on social media once again. additionally a spokesperson called it a violation of the supreme court's decision on presidential immunity. >>> we've got live pictures from atlanta where the late president jimmy carter is lying in repose at the carter center. six days of

those allies who also spoke included jeffrey clark, john eastman, rudy giuliani, peter navarro and michael flynning each man a shout out from the stage. what they've done to rudy. but rudy's going to come out on top. it's just just a question of time. i don't. that was vaughn hillyard reporting. amazon is working on a documentary about melania trump. amazon prime video announced today that it's licensing a documentary film about the incoming first lady. jeff bezos is the founder and executive chairman of amazon, and today's announcement comes after bezos said that he plans to donate $1 million to the inaugural fund of president elect trump. bezos also met with trump at his mar a lago club in florida after his election win over vice president kamala harris. up next, not a day to day injury. who? steve kerr with an update on warriors forward jonathan kuminga. anthony flores has details ahead in sports. and right now we're starting to see some patchy fog around the bay area. you see it there near the golden gate bridge, also near santa rosa. the latest on this. and when gusty wind z's bakery is loo

where it's michael flynn and now bundy. plan b they believe under the constitution they can form their own grand jury and arrest officials and put them on trial for treason. and you know what happens with treason. and this is going out. there's a video that ivan put out today. he said if you're on that list with biden, you're now on the top of our list. and we're coming after you. so they need to be careful because they're not done. they're out for revenge no matter what. >> well, pam hemphill, thank you very much. we appreciate you joining us. you've been on many times with me. and you always are very transparent about your role in all of this. and your regret for what you did on that day. it's interesting now to see all of these other people just walking away scotch free. thank you very much, pam. laura? >> thank you. >> really fascinating conversation, abby. i want to go to our cnn correspondent donie o'sullivan outside the detention center where some of the january 6th rioters are being held. and very well may be releas

he gathered dy giuliani, michael flynn, peter navarro, and others. many of the people who were deeply involved in the efforts to steal the election. they gathered with donald trump this weekend at mar-a-lago. i'm also told people close to the former president, they're considering up to a thousand acts of clemency or pardons of those involved. that's most of the people that the doj has charged to this point. some investigations are still ongoing. so he is on the precipice of taking power again, and he still cannot let go of the lie that he lost the last time. he's still believing that he was cheated, that he had won then as well. on the other side, we have president biden penning an op-ed in the "washington post" he spoke to reporters saying, this is a somber day of remembrance. the way we think about pearl harbor or other tough days, dark days in our nation's history, but that is certainly something republicans have done, everything they can to wipe away from, and there's not going to be any federal recognition of january 6th the next four years when

at least according to reports, was messing around with declassifying documents in order to help michael flynn russian official without authorization and who is a big backer of the big lie and other things with trump. that guy is probably going to be the next fbi director. we've got even sam alito on the supreme court calling trump to do background checks to make sure his former, you know, aide is sufficiently loyal. despite having worked for william barr. i mean, we've got tulsi gabbard, who the people most enthusiastic about her nomination to be in our national security administration is that russia loves her. the people most enthusiastic are russians. why would that be? >> well, because that her worldview has been totally aligned with kind of putin critique of nato support for putin ally and bashar al assad. i think what we have to get our minds around, particularly with hegseth and tulsi gabbard and kash patel, is that on the surface, they're not qualified for these jobs, right? and then on on top of that, they're allegations of all kinds of misconduct by them. and so in the normal kind of

he, you know, interfered in roger stone's sentencing and got michael flynn's plea over. i mean, the guy anyway, the idea that there's any sort of like, moral calculus that involves a comparison of donald trump to anybody on these things, i just think is not living in reality. and i think that biden realistically can count on the fact that trump is not going to act in good faith, that if he's going to put in an attorney general who at the republican national convention said, yeah, lock her up. i love that if he's going to put somebody like kash qanon patel and the head of the fbi who says he's going to abolish the fbi and turn it into a museum of the deep state, i mean, yeah, you're not talking about a good faith cast of characters who's planning on using the criminal justice system in a way that, you know, meets our historical standards for what counts as, as, as serious and well, predicated action. and so, yeah, he should protect people who don't deserve to be abused with that system. and trump has been and patel has been open enough about they've been open enough about

saw that during the first trump administration with respect to some the prosecution involving michael flynnand roger stone. got to get people resigning as one indication all is not well i am just wondering if we were to ask the attorney general if the president ordered jew, suggested or hinted that you go after his perceived political enemies, with the attorney site attorney general privilege and not respond to us? >> i do not want to give a legal opinion on that, senator. i do think that is the type of pressure we are looking to an attorney general to stand up to from the white house. i certainly want to take ms. bondi at her word went under oath and said she would exercise independence a very quick to think that is deeply concerning is that she is very loyal to president-elect trump heat demands one 100% loyalty of all of his people. so yesterday at ms. bondi could not say president biden had won the election in 2020. that's a basic fact. i think it's her loyalty to president-elect trump that basically made it hard for her, impossible for her to say president biden had won the election. s

this during the first trump administration with respect to some of the prosecutions involving michael flynn and roger stone. sen. hirono: i take it that people resigning is an indication that all is not well. that and dedicate -- independence is perhaps not what is in practice. i was wondering if we were to ask the attorney general, if the president ordered you or suggested or hinted that you go after his perceived political enemies, would the attorney general be able to assign attorney-client privilege and not respond to us? i don't want to give a legal opinion on that, senator. i do think it is the type of pressure we are looking to an attorney general to stand up to from the white house. and i certainly want to take ms. bondy at her word when under owes yesterday she said she would exercise independence. sen. hirono: what is deeply concerning about ms. pam bondi is she is deeply loyal to president trump and he demands 100% loyalty from all his people. yesterday ms. bondi could not say president biden won the election in 2020. that's a basic fact. it was her loyalty to president-elect tru

his national security advisor, michael flynn. his former advisor, steve b bannon. and at least seven republican congressmen convicted of crimes. now president trump has promised to pardon the january 6 rioters of on day one of his new administration, calling them, quote, political prisoners. i'd like to ask my colleague from arkansas if he supports pardoning the follow following of these individuals, david dempsey, convicted of assaulting police officers by using, quote, hands, feet, flagpoles, crutches, pepper spray, broken pieces of furniture and anything else he could get his hands on as a weapon. how about shane jenkins? trump pardon? convicted of using two axes to beat, break into the capitol, and assault police officers, by throwing furniture and a flagpole at them. kyle fitzsimmons, convicted of five separate assaults against law enforcement, including one that caused a career-ending, life-altering injury to u.s. capitol police act aquilino goodell. is he ready? kenneth bennowitz of the so-called proud boys, asalted at least -- assaulted at least six officer
