you, mr. irving, and you, chief contee, because i've gone over my time. thank you. sen. peters: thank you. m chair. mr. sund, you've brought up the issue of intelligence throughout your testimony, and the gaps that were there, and then how we need to strengthen the intelligence. but i was struck by the fact that you said the fbi report. my understanding is that that report had some fairly specific information that was troubling, that you said that their report did get sent to the capitol police, that it went to the folks in the intelligence department, but that you were not aware of it, which raises a really big question. something coming in like that right before an event, that i think is significant, it does not get to operational commanders who are there to deal with it? how can that happen? how can you not get that vital intelligence on the eve of what's going to be a major event? steven: thank you sir. i know that's something that's going to be looked at. i think that information would've been helpful to be aware of. again, looking at the information for the first time yesterday, it is

you, mr. chairman. sen. peters: thank you, senator. senator hassan, you're recognized for your questions. an: thank you, mr. chair, and thanks to all of the witnesses for being here today. i especially want to take a moment to acknowledge the heroism of the officers of the us capitol police, law enforcement and other employees of the capitol who bravely worked to protect our democracy on january 6th, and who have done so much work to restore our capitol since that day. i also want to thank all of the families of our law enforcement and capitol hill staff for what they went through watching this unfold in real time. sen. hassan: i want to start with a question to chief contee, if i could. chief, washington, dc, is obviously no stranger to large assemblies and protests. what is the standard process for protests in washington, dc, when it comes to inter-agency coordination and information sharing? following the events of january six, what recommendations do you have for improving coordination and information sharing? chief contee: thank you for that question. there are several discussions, me

you, mr. chairman. chairman peters, on behalf of the 700,000 district of columbia residents, including 30,000 veterans, i thank you for holding, and for being an original cosponsor for holding this hearing, and for being an original cosponsor of the district of columbia statehood bill. this hearing is of historic significance. because it is only the second senate hearing on our d.c. statehood bill in the nation's history. in the last year the house of representatives has passed the statehood bill. in 1993, when i first came to the house of representatives, i got the first ever houseboat on d.c. statehood, but the bill failed because the house had a very different composition then. prior to last year, neither chamber of congress had ever passed the d.c. statehood bill in the nation's history. senator carper, i particularly thank you for sponsoring our d.c. statehood bill, and for being a champion for d.c. in the senate, where we have no representation. following in the footsteps of senator joe lieberman, under your lead

chair peters: yes, i'm sorry. mr. salesses, i think you are first for your opening statement. mr. salesses: thank you. chairman peters, chairwoman klobuchar, and members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today on the department of defense's role in securing the u.s. capitol on january 6, 2021. one of the dod's missions is to support civil authority, including civil law enforcement organizations. dod frequently provides support during planned major events, like the presidential inauguration and at state of the union addresses. due to the unique nature of the district of columbia, in which numerous governmental organizations exercise a range of jurisdictional authority, ensuring safety and security is the responsibility of the d.c. government, the secret service, the park police, the marshals service, the capitol police, the federal protective service, and other civilian law enforcement organizations. dod provides support to these civilian law enforcement agencies when requested based on their assessment of the support required. prior to the attack

peter: in the beginning of the book, mr. feldstein, yourite that you spend time in the philippines, ethiopia, hong kong, and thailand. why those four countries? steven: a few different reasons. each of them represents a slightly different political system. i wanted to see how different leaderships and regimes, what they look like when it comes to the adoption of these techniques. for example the philippines, it , is a democracy, albeit a weak democracy. thailand is an authoritarian state. and ethiopia is sort of authoritarian but has also been , recently transitioning to a more liberalized arena. they all represent different so aspects of these techniques. the interesting thing is, all three of them have interesting linkages to china, as well. and they presented really good opportunities to examine the china question, in addition to other issues. host: let's take the philippines. how is the philippines using, in your view, digital repression, and what are its ties to china? guest: broadly speaking, when it comes to the philippines, what is

mr. peter strzok, it's very -- it's an honor to have you here. >> it's great to be here, rachel. >> do you think there is a counter intelligence way to look at the tom barrack indictment? is that part of the way that we should understand the significance of this case? >> it absolutely is. and let me frame it this way, if you look at the indictment in the april of 18th, one of the individual from the uae, one of the three who was indicted, he's interviewed by the fbi. about three days later according to the indictment he flees from his own house where he's been living goes overseas and never returns to the united states again. now he is intimately involved with not only mr. berke but also with a very high ranking individuals in the emerati government. the moment he returns it stands to reason that he is going to tell everybody he's been working with exactly what went on, but he was asked about with the fbi asked him, his relationship with mr. barrack, the white house. and everybody who matters that he's been working with at the uae knows what happened, now when they look at the united state
