here's 1/6 committee member, pete aguilar, earlier today. >> is trump tampering with witnesses when he'sn is for my colleagues on the other side. where are they? do they support this? when is enough enough when a mob is chanting hang mike pence, it wasn't enough. when the former president asked brad raffensperger to find him votes, it wasn't enough. now he's dangling pardons if he gets back in office for individuals. will that be enough or will there be collective amnesia? i just don't know where the floor is these days on that side of the aisle. >> there isn't one. republicans exhibiting quite a high tolerance for the ex-president's connect. in addition to floating pardons, trump admitted the whole time he just wanted the vice president to overturn the results of the 2020 election. trump called for quote, the biggest protest we've ever had in places where he is being investigated personally and criminally. and reporting this week has exposed his direct involvement in attempts to seize voting machines after the election. all of these shows that that of trump's desperation and the damage

joining us house january 6 select commit tee member pete aguilar of california. first your reaction to how much of the plot to overturn president biden's victory was put on paper including the memos revealed in "the new york times" to being crafted out of wisconsin and becoming the basis for the eastman memos? >> a lot of it was put on paper. clearly as the public reporting indicates this is not something that was done at the last minute. this was coordinated effort to overturn a election why the timeline at which they had and when they started seems to be up for debate but clearly their intention is not up for debate and troubling about where we are and gathering information and in pursuit of the truth. that's what the committee is charged to do and have been doing. >> congressman, you have got the ex-president and curious if you view the tweets over did weekend as an admission overturning the election is what he wanted and putting that admission with mark meadows' tweet in the documents oif. i love it. we are. doing it, i guess, the response means with what it

. >> congressman pete aguilar, thank you so much. >>> want to turn to the panel. "the washington post" white house bureau chief and analyst ashley parker. also luke broadwaefrt, "the new york times." and harry litman, former u.s. congressman. let's get back to the documents at mar-a-lago. do we have any idea what those top secret documents picture taned to? if not will we ever? >> well, i don't personally know what they were but it is a great interest to the house overnight committee who i was just speaking to today. the reason this is so important is because in the past others in the federal past have been charged for mishandling classified or top secret documents. there are several recent cases where white house or federal government officials faced criminal charging for taking documents out of the white house or other federal entities and putting them in the house, sneaking them out. sometimes because they enjoyed looking at the things they had in the career and did result in criminal charges so does donald trump face some sort of criminal liability here? that'
