mr. costello this morning. without objections, my letter is on the record. furthermore, the whitese yesterday issued a letter to mr. bannon's attorney, stating "we are not aware of any basis for your clients refusal to appear for a deposition." before the select committee, pres. biden has already determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the public interest and therefore is not justified with respect to certain subjects within the purview of the select committee. without objection, i include the full white house letter in the record. this amendment and the nature of substitute updates the report to reflect these developments, and its now even clearer mr. bannon has no lawful ground not to comply with our subpoena. those in favor say i. those opposed say no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. and on amendment in the nature of the substitute is agreed to. i recognize the vice chair, ms. cheney, for motion. rep. cheney: i move that the committee favorably report to the house the committee's report on a resolution recommending the house of representativ

mr. bannon, who worked at the white house in the early months of the trump presidency, was claiming executive privilege to avoid appearing before the committee. a vote by the full house to hold mr. bannon in contempt could come later this week, requiring a simple majority. >> the select committee to investigate the attack on the capitol welcome to order. the select committee is meeting this evening to consider a report on a resolution recommending the house find stephen kay bannon and contempt of congress for refusal to comply with the subpoena issued by the select committee to investigate the january 6 attack on the united states capitol. without objection, the chair is authorized to declare the committee in recess. i recognize myself for opening statements. let me start by saying it gives me no joy that i was forced to call this meeting. my colleagues feel the same way i think. the expectation of this committee is that all witnesses will cooperate with our investigation. witnesses who have been subpoenaed have a legal obligation to do so. when you think about what we are investigating, our

the white house reminding mr. bannon today that only the sitting president can assert executive privilege and in this case president biden is not doing so. ahead of tonight's vote, the january 6th committee released a report outlining the ways in which bannon is delinquent in his response to their subpoena and also why it's in the public interest that he reply. it says in part, mr. bannon's testimony and document production are critical to the select committee's investigation. among other topics, the committee seeks facts that explain why the events of january 6th turned violent. statements publicly made by mr. bannon on january 5th suggest that he had some foreknowledge about extreme events that would occur the next day. information in bannon's possession is essential to putting other witnesses' testimony in context and ensuring the select committee with fully and expeditiously complete its work. so the committee recommends that steve bannon shall be in contempt much congress for failing to comply with a federal

mr. jeffries: i think the white house and the administration has been very engaged throughout this process. they were involved in negotiating the bipartisan infrastructure agreement, and it is the president's agenda in terms of the build back better act. those are things investing in childcare, home care, or the enhanced and expanded child tax credit, greening the economy, making sure we invest in our infrastructure in a resilient and sustainable way that president biden talked about on the campaign trail as candidate biden. so not only has he been engaged in this, a lot of these ideas were birth by joe biden, and so he's entirely invested. reporter: how do you respond to say people think you are having some disagreement, there are high tension, as a party, you are siding each other to a certain extent and the democrats are in disarray? mr. jeffries: the democrats in disarray is a phony, silly narrative when you think about it. democrats are a coalition. we are not a cult. we are incredibly diverse. in every possible way, racially, we have the congressional black caucus, the congressional

congress has raised the debt ceiling 78 time, mostly when a republican was in the white house. mr. speaker, this has always been a bipartisan vote. in 2017, when donald trump was president, more than 90% of the democrats voted to increase the debt limit. in 2019, when donald trump was president, more than 90% of the democrats voted to increase the debt limit. it should be a bipartisan vote now. the simple fact is if it wasn't, congress fails to raise the debt ceiling, it would mean we refuse to pay our debts and would lead to destruction. i'm confused too one way this is very asymmetric. we help the republican presidents but they refuse to help us. i don't understand, my friend from south carolina said in front of the rule committees this is because of the build back better bill, the proposed $3.5 trillion that's coming. fails to recognize that the u.s. federal debt went up $7.8 frl in the trump administration, more than half of the theoretical maximum of the build back better but more importantly build back better won't add one penny to the deficit. we worked hard to raise revenue

the mob descended on the capitol, a corollary attack, was playing out down the street in the white house where mre president mike pence and a lawyer names john eastman -- the pivotal name -- huddled in the oval office scheming to subvert the american people by using legal slight of hand. the visit was reported at the time. but a new book provides the details of his proposed six point plan. it involved mr. pence rejecting dozens of already certified electoral votes, representing tens of millions of legally cast ballots, thus allowing congress to install mr. trump in a second term. wow. a six point plan to overturn this election? how do you wrap your head around that? >> the strategy was in plain sight from the beginning. i was part of conversations with republican lawyers, constitutional scholars, election watchers about this going back to the election. it was clear that donald trump's strategy was to prevent certification, to figure out how to prevent certification and ultimately get this kicked to the house of representatives where this political action and behavior then comes in. the fascinatin

mr. jones case included a majority white jury where a juror reported to the judge and then publicly thatacts don't matter in this case because they were quote, trying to black man, end quote. and then used an epithet, which again relevant i think to the case, used the n-word to refer to the defendant, saying that he should just be lynched. this was before liberations. should that be relevant to whether this was deemed a fair trial that leads to an execution? >> of course it should. first of all, we have to think about whether we should be killing people, but if we're going to say we should, we shouldn't be killing innocent people and we shouldn't be killing them in a system that is biased based on race. and this case is ripe with all kinds of concern from a police officer at the scene who brought the n-word, the fact that jones reportedly did not meet the description of the person who committed the murder, that the person who claimed that he did it has told three different people in prison that he's actually the one who did the murder. there are so many questions here that should make us

nairobi with malcolm web 1st to our white house correspondent, kimberly, how can, who's there for so kimberly, how significant is this meeting 1st african leader since mr. bite and took office significant for a number of reasons. according to the white house, there are going to be a range of issues, discussed climate change, security economics, and also human rights. but really the white house wants to 0 down on a couple of important issues. the 1st one is financial and you touched on this a little bit already, peter, that is the concerns about corruption and the fact that the president did campaign against corruption. but the recent release of the pandora papers has exposed the fact that he and 6 of his family members are connected to potentially hundreds or rather millions of offshore investments. so this is something that the white house is acknowledged. there are concerns about still the white house press secretary saying that to, well, there may be differences that will not stop any sort of conversation. and to that end, we should point out that when it comes to aid can years, in fact, one of the 5th largest recipients of usa in the area of health
