there being no further business, without objection, the select committee stands adjourned. >> and thatnanimously vote to favorably recommend that the house of representatives vote through contempt charges against steve bannon. the members of the committee, who you saw, bennie thompson, for mississippi, who was the chair, zoe lofgren of california, adam schiff of can california, pete aguilar of california, jamie raskin, two republicans, liz cheney, the vice-chair of this committee from wyoming and adam kinzinger of illinois all unanimous, very quickly review what was said. chairman thompson saying he takes no joy doing what they did tonight, but asks those of you at home what would happen to you if you did what steve bannon is to go? if you were a material witness in a criminal prosecution or some other lawsuit, what would happen if you just refused to show up? do you think you would be able to go about your business? we all know the answer to that. he suggested steve bannon is willing to be a martyr to the disgraceful wall of whitewashing what happened on january 6th and demonstrating

leadership structure, decision-making processes and many, many more are needed, but neither the select committee nor the committee on house administration seem at all interested in ensuring these changes are made. a committee on house administration which has oversight of security hasn't held a single hearing since august 5, with no upcoming hearings scheduled, according to the majority's website. the select committee, right now as we see, is clearly focused on political subpoenas. and without objection, i'd like to introduce these articles into the record, madam speaker. >> without objection, so ordered. >> thank you. additionally a number of questions from that day still remain unanswered. i'm still waiting for the speaker of the house to answer a letter i sent her back in february that asks why the national guard requests, by then police chief, was designed. why was the speaker involved in eventually approving the request. why the house sergeant of arms has refused to comply with preservation and production requests from my office. and we have many, many more questions about why the capitol w

our thanks your rewards. >>> we are just moments away from the crucial vote by the january 6th select committeennon in criminal contempt. bannon has repeatedly refused to comply with the committee's subpoena to find out what he knows about trump's actions in the lead-up to january 6th. it comes as some of trump's most fervent supporters refuse to believe he played any role in inciting the insurrection. here is what they told the daily show's jordan klepper about who they claimed actually stormed the capitol that day. >> oh, antifa. um, like the corrupt fbi. um, basically, rinos, corrupt politicians, the deep sedate, al state all of that. >> i don't believe it was people like me and people like you see over there in that crowd that did it. >> who -- who was behind if? >> fbi, cia, antifa were used. other -- other groups like that. >> it seemed like a lot of them were going into the capitol to attack nancy pelosi and perhaps hang -- >> who? who? which one. >> the one with the bullhorns? he is not a trump supporter. i don't care what his resume says, he's not a trump supporter. in fact, do you rem

congress has tasked a bipartisanship select committee with investigating the january 6 attack and that committee has outlined why it needs steve bannon's testimony to fully understand the events leading up to that attack. however, when subpoenaed to testify mr. bannon told the select committee to pound the fan. mr. bannon is a private citizen and not above the law and cannot refuse to obey a subpoena any more than you nor i or any american can. neither mr. bannon or or the former president made any credible argument to shield his testimony. patriotism demands anyone with knowledge of that dark day come forward and the rule of law and our constitution demand everyone in our congress support this investigation. i'm incredibly disappointed that the republican leadership and so many of their colleagues continue to oppose any attempt to investigate the january 6 attack. they oppose legislation to create a bipartisanship commission, they opposed the creation of the select committee, and they're now trying to stop the committee from carrying out its work. had this is not a time for delays. it

because as you recall in the interview that you did with bennie thompson, the chairman of the select committeeed him if the committee itself had been in talks at all with the department of justice about how this would play out, were they to file these criminal contempt charges. and thompson made it clear that the committee was not cooperating or even having any kind of conversation with the department of justice because they didn't want to give the appearance of any type of collusion. now, one of the things that biden has talked about over the course of his administration is that he would allow the department of justice to operate autonomously. that, they wouldn't be operating at his direction even though he, of course, appoints the attorney general. so, you know, there is no doubt that he has created that level of separation but obviously the president's influence ago on something like this is pretty significant. and also, wolf, gives us indication of what his thinking could be perhaps down the road as we deal with more executive privilege claims. you know, the white house has already given t

of course, don, this also dovetails after the chairman of the select committee, bennie thompson, saying that the committee has had no contact with the department of justice for that same exact reason. they want these decisions to be made independently. still it gives us some insight into the president's thinking about this process and also coincides with the fact that he has allowed the fact that so many of these documents he's allowed to go through and not be protected by executive privilege despite the fact that the former president would like them to do so. >> so the select committee is weighing in, ryan? >> reporter: that's right. jamie raskin, who is a member of the select committee, talked about the president's remarks earlier today, and this is what he said. >> the first thing he said was that the committee should aggressively enforce our right to get people's testimony and to get the documents we've subpoenaed, and there's no problem with that. i also don't have a problem with him, as a citizen like me, saying he hopes the department of justice will aggressively enforce the law

>> i do, yes. >> joining me now, congressman adam schiff, member of the select committee on the january 6th attack. chair of the house intelligence committee. lead impeachment manager at the first of trump's two senate trials, and the author of the new book, "midnight in washington: how we almost lost our democracy and still could." chairman schiff, thank you so much for coming back to the sunday show. let's talk about what's going to happen on tuesday and the potential of criminal contempt charges for steve bannon. what's the process here? >> reporter: the process on thursday night, we'll be voting on a report in the committee. the report concludes that bannon should be held in contempt. he failed to appear. he has no reasonable explanation for that failure to appear. and that will then go to the full house. the full house will vote to hold him in criminal contempt, and then the speaker will ultimately refer that contempt to the justice department, where the statute says that the justice department has that duty to present it to the grand jury. and so i just want to make sure that i he

the others are engaging with the select committee in different ways and have not yet tripped a wire, so to speak -- >> what are they engaging in? >> they are working with the committee -- >> are they offering documents? what does that mean? >> documents, some are coming in to do interviews. we are working with them to shape the context of the information that they are giving to the select committee. so, really, bannon stands alone at this moment of defying the subpoenas. >> what do you make of the argument that the reason to push back against these subpoenas is that they have no legitimate legislative purpose? >> we have legitimate legislative purpose based on the house resolution that was passed that gives the select committee its scope of work as well as the objectives that we are out to secure. we are trying to lay out a set of facts around the run-up to and the day of january 6 so that we can prevent this from ever happening again. our democracy is at stake in this moment. if people believe that it is okay to try to overturn a free and fair election through the use of political vi

any reaction from the select committee on this specific thing? >> no reaction yet. when mike broke that news i did reach out and they said they were looking at it right now. i will say this is what the committee expected. they expected the trump administration to assert this, and they did not know what the white house was going to do but did assert this was the decision they would make. the trump team had 30 days to respond to this, and they waited until the very last minute to make their decision. >> remind us of what all the communication includes of what they want to see. >> this is one small piece of communication that the committee wants to see. as far as the national archives is concerned, these are presidential records that have been held by the national archives, but there's more to this. there are nine government agencies also caught up in the information request and the committee also is seeking record preservation requests from a lot of social media companies and telecommunication companies, and they also asked for records from some telecommunication compa

john -- [ laughter ] >> it's official steve bannon is defying the select committee subpoena.hearing how they will respond? >> i think they will get tough, don. the indications we have are that the select committee is going to not waste time and go quickly to criminal contempt citations and count on the justice department to prosecute them, enforce them and i think what we're seeing from the biden administration both in this decision by not to invoke executive privilege and also the signals they sent to the committee that they are likely to move ahead with enforcing contempt citations. the justice department and biden administration may not want to move ahead in cases on their own, that they're given the gravity of the situation that unfolded on january 6th. they're going to be very forward leaning in terms of supporting the select committee and i think that's good news for people that want to get to the bottom of what happened. >> elliott, bannon's lawyers say they are waiting for the executive privilege issue to be resolved and in a statement write in part that is an issue b

as cnn was first to report, the select committee has asked their phone records be preserved along withesident in connection with the 6th. today jordan who was questioned by committee chairman jim mcgovern and who has given conflicting accounts on this, concept recall how many times he spoke to the former president that day. >> i talked to him that day. i have been clear about that. i don't recall the number of times. but it's not about me. i know you want to make it about that. >> joining us now, house select committee member and house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff. democrat of california author of "midnight in washington: how we almost lost our democracy and still could." congressman schiff, what does it say to you these republican members of congress are basically saying it's okay to ignore a congressional subpoena? even if you don't think steve bannon did anything, even if you don't think this whole thing should go forward, this is a lawful congressional subpoena. members of congress for them to not even back up congressional power is extraordinary. >> it is extraordin

let's turn to the broader investigation of january 6th by the house select committee. our senior legal affairs correspondent, paul, is here in "the situation room" joining me with the latest. this is going to be a very significant week for the committee, isn't it? >> that's right. this is expected to be a really big week for the house select committee. lawmakers may hear from the first trump administration official to comply with a subpoena and sit for an interview with the panel. jeffrey clark is expected to appear friday to answer questions behind closed doors. now, clark is a key witness. he was a central player in trump's months long effort to overturn election results in key states and he was directly in contact with trump during this critical time, but the extent of his talks with trump and what they discussed were not yet known. his testimony could be a big step for the committee as it attempts to determine what trump, his advisers and some in congress said about trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election before january 6th. now this week is also the dea

right for you. >>> we have got break, news just in literally seconds ago from the january 6th select committeesubpoenas, more subpoenas for documents and interviews related to the stop the steal rally and three new deadline force complying to the subpoenas added to the committee's schedule for later this month. ali vitali is back with us, joining us from capitol hill. these were the people involved in the permitting process for the rally, who were involved in the stop the steal rally that happened on the grounds capitol on january 6th? >> yeah, it is an important tis tinks. we know the rally that was happening on the ellipse where the president spoke. this was a separate rally permitted by the stop the steal group. the permit was for around 50 or so people. we know what ultimately ended up happening that day. these are names -- two of them are named subpoenas for alley alexander and nathan martin. these are names our viewers probably tonight know but they were on the stop the steal rally request. the third subpoena is for an llc. in that subpoena i was truck by something specific that was writ

the committee to testify, this week is the deadline for those four officials to testify to the select committees to think about what type of mechanism they may be to you. of course, they could sue, that could take years. what they talked about more would be spicier is the idea of trying to use criminal charges to pressure these men into testifying, the house can put together what's called a criminal referral, an argument that these men broken the law if they don't testify this week. the house can send the criminal referral in the justice department and doj can decide whether or not to charge these men with contemptive congress. >> betsy woodruff swan. >>> earlier in the show, we asked all of you. why are you awake? susan writes i am up way too early because i am taking the lsat. good luck. hope that goes well. >> maya says this photo. that's gorgeous. and jeffery e-mails he was up early to catch bill karen's forecast. you know about 80% of our tweets and e-mails are about the forecast. >>> up next, a look at axios one big thing. up next, we'll hear from adam schiff. plus, terry mcauliffe will j

well today the chairs of that select committee including liz cheney said, bring it on. another major development today, former trump has been telling his allies he plans to assert executive privilege to keep documents and other information from the committee. but that is not entirely ultimately up to him. and late this afternoon the biden administration said they will allow those documents to go from the white house to the committee. we're covering these stories and this big issue in our society, every angle starting with ryan nobles live on capitol hill. ryan, what is the select chitty investigating the january 6 insurrection, what are they saying now? >> reporter: well, jake, first of all they're saying that of the four men who were issued subpoenas, that they are all offering up different levels or lack there of of compliance. steve bannon saying he's not going to comply, that he's going to work with the former president to defend executive privilege but the committee did say that mark meadows and cash patel were engaging with committee. we're not sure what that means

listen. >> this is a select committee that is not a bipartisan committee., they're missing the two main points. why were we so ill-prepared on january 6th, and how do we make sure we're never in this position again? it's politics. congress does not have the right to go after our phone number records, and the supreme court has made this ruling. it's interesting about how far they want to control and where they want to go. >> it's a really good thing you can't get arrested in washington d.c. for stupidity. >> i know. >> he and quite a few others would be dragged to the jailhouse this morning for that clip. dave, first, i just -- first of all, it's not bipartisan, because mitch mcconnell and the republicans killed the bipartisan investigation. so if he doesn't like the fact this is bipartisan, t not like he wasn't warned a million times and mitch mcconnell wasn't warned a million times. if you kill a bipartisan bicameral january 6th investigation, well, good luck complaining about it later. and secondly, saying that congress can't subpoena my phone records or

writing to clark, quote, the select committee's investigation has revealed credible evidence that you attempted to involve the department of justice in efforts to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power. the new round of work by the committee comes a day before a series of major deadlines. two trump allies, steve bannon and former defense department official kash patel, are scheduled to appear before the committee thursday for private depositions. bannon has sent the committee a letter telling them he does not plan to cooperate. if he doesn't show on thursday, they promised they'll take quick action to enforce the subpoena. >> if people don't show up, if they don't provide the documents they're compelled to, we intend to take up criminal contempt and refer to the justice department and we expect it will be prosecuted, that unlike the last administration, no one is above the law, and so we intend to move quickly. >> on friday, the committee's asked former white house officials mark meadows and dan scavino to appear. meadows is engaging with the committee, but scavino only received his

on the select committee there.operating, which are not and what they're prepared to do. what are you learned? >> reporter: i don't know if we could go as far as to use the word cooperating. it is not exactly clear as to what level their communicating with the committee. but we do know and we reported this earlier in the day, the select committee said that steve bannon sent a letter that he planned to not cooperate. in a statement less than an hour ago they said that mark meadows, chief of staff and cash patel in the department of defense are engaging with the committee. now we don't know if that means full cooperation but it peers there is some level of negotiation for their cooperation. and they are clear they are going to do whatever they can to get cooperation out of these witnesses and that includes criminal contempt if it should come to that. the statement reads, quote, we will not allow any witness to defy a lawful subpoena or attempt to run out the clock and we will swiftly consider advancing a criminal cont

>> it is such a perfect, perfect way to frame the questions, and the importance of the select committee. i am going to ask all of you to stay with us if you are able. i want to bring into our coverage congressman jim hines, member of the intelligence committee. i want the recap the news for viewers just joining us. the house approved a contempt resolution for steve bannon. nine republicans voted with all of the democrats. i am going to read them real quick. liz cheney, adam kinzinger, congressman myer, congressman up ton. cat go, who had put together a legislation that would have formed a bipartisan commission. congresswoman mace, fitzpatrick, gonzalez, and jamie haira butler. your thoughts about the vote today to hold steve bannon -- >> nine is actually better than we usually do when the question is about, you know, the future of our constitutional republic. or what today's vote was really about -- look, you and i both know that issues of executive privilege don't apply today. that steve bannon was long gone from the white house when he had the conversations that allowed him to predict

rosen just testified to the january 6th select committee today voluntarily. didn't have to be subpoenaed. went in and answered questions. looks like it was about eight hours. well, now the committee wants to hear from trump's apparent pick to replace him. that would be mr. jeffrey clark. and so they sent clark a subpoena today asking him to produce documents and appear before the committee itself on october 29th. if he does appear, it would shed a whole lot of light on what exactly happened at the justice department in the last days of the trump administration. >> obviously he's a person of interest. he's the central person in this saga, and at some point in the committee before a grand jury someplace his testimony is going to be obtained. >> now, the senate judiciary committee, you saw sheldon whitehouse talking to rachel. he's a member of that committee. they tried to get clark to sit down for a voluntary interview with him over the summer, but he did not respond. according to politico, he has yet to field questions from congressional investigators, scrutini

also today, a lawyer for trump associate steve bannon informed the select committee that he will not cooperate with the subpoena. a short time ago, the committee responded, threatening a criminal referral for any witness who continues to obstruct. trump's legal team set off this battle earlier this week, telling bannon and three others, three of the key allies that they should not comply with the subpoenas. cnn's kaitlan collins is live at the white house, and cnn's sara murray is in washington as well. k tell us first about the decision by the biden administration not to assert executive privilege here. >> yeah, they say this is an extraordinary set of circumstances that has led them to make this decision c. they have sent this letter saying they are not going to exert executive privilege over these documents. one thing we should be clear here, they are saying this is about the specific request of documents, the white house and the national archives has received from the xcommittee, which has been of course a massive question at the heart of all of this given to essentially what it w

and the doj responding to biden's comments on the select committee. here's what he said. >> i hope that the committee goes after them, and holds them accountable. >> should they be prosecuted? >> i do, yes. >> let's go to ryan nobles. >> reporter: they're making it clear the president's comments from their perspective don't have anything to do with their decision making process in terms of how they will respond to this criminal contempt referral. and anthony coley putting out a statement saying the department of justice will make its own independent decisions in all prosecutions. based solely on the facts and the law, period, and full stop. this is not a surprise. because the biden white house has made it clear they were going to do things differently than the trump white house. and of course, this dovetails after the chairman of the select committee said they have had no contact with department of justice. but it does give insight into the president's thinking, and the fact that so many of the documents he's allowed not to be protected by executive p

he's basically said that in his communications to the select committee on a number of different levels. but it's not just about bannon, and i do think that's important. we heard many of the committee members say today that they want to send a message not just to bannon but to all of these other individuals that they're trying to get information from, not just the ones that they've issued subpoenas to, but even people they've reached out to on a volunteer basis to try to get them to come in and talk to them or submit documents. they're in search of as much information as possible, and what they're demonstrating by this action against steve bannon this week is that they'll use whatever tool they have available to them to get that information. >> elie, listen, that is really the thrust of my question to you because this announcement coming in prime-time, it is a very strong message to steve bannon and anyone else who is thinking of defying the committee. what is at stake for him and others? >> yeah. so, don, i think what's really at stake here, narrow view, of course, will steve bannon go

members of the house select committee on january 6th have just decided to recommend the full house findntempt of congress for defying a committee's subpoena to appear. i want to start off right now with cnn's ryan nobles at the capitol with the very latest. so walk us through what happened at this vote, ryan. >> reporter: it was pretty straightforward, anderson. the committee chairman, bennie thompson, the vice chair liz cheney both read somewhat lengthy opening statements kind of outlining the case as to why they believed that this was a necessary step to refer steve bannon for criminal contempt. they talked about how defiant bannon had been in terms of his lack of cooperation with the committee. they also really took aim at his legal arguments that he somehow was protected by executive privilege because of the efforts of the former-president donald trump, and saying it just was not enough for him to be so uncooperative with the committee. and then, liz cheney who is of course the vice chair and a republican and a big critic of the former president talked specifically about how both

top aides to former president donald trump are supposed to appear before the house select committee today as well as friday. committee members are making it clear. criminal contempt is the next step if they don't show up. lawmakers want to know what was happening in the trump white house on the day the riots. president joe biden has formally rejected trump's request to shield requested documents through executive privilege. and, excuse me, a former justice department official who pushed the election fraud lie is being called to appear. ryan nobles puts it all into context for you. >> reporter: the january 6 select committee is making serious moves. >> we're not messing around. >> reporter: meeting with a key member of the trump-era justice department and taking steps to force another one to comply with their investigation. sources say former acting attorney general jeffrey rosen met wednesday with the committee behind closed doors. rosen served as a.g. leading up to january 6th and resisted the former president's efforts to use the power of the justice department to investigate false clai

. >> and this is a crucial week for the january 6th select committee. the first round of in-person depositions is scheduled to take place for some of former president trump's closest allies. more documents are due today. and committee members warn that those who do not comply may face criminal contempt charges. >>> plus, captain kirk goes where no other "star trek" character has ever gone before. 90-year-old william shatner becomes the holdest person to travel beyond the earth's atmosphere and he returns with some emotional, profound si insights. >> what you have given me is the most profound experience i can imagine. i'm so filled with emotion about what just happened. i just -- it's extraordinary. extraordinary. i hope i never recover from this. i hope that i can maintain what i feel now. i don't want to lose it. >> that's really moving. and we will talk more about that in a moment. >> it was really good to hear. >>> but first, to another mission of global proportions, president biden will try today to fix the broken global supply chain. starting toda

with the news. >>> former president donald trump has filed new lawsuit against both the house select committeegating the january 6th insurrection and the national archives. the suit, which was expected, seeks to block the committee from obtaining his administration's records from the archives. in the 26-page complaint, a lawyer for the former president argues that the records must remain secret as a matter of executive privilege. in a joint statement from the panel's chair benny toms and vice chair, liz cheney, the committee vowed to, quote, fight the president's attempt to obstruct our investigation. meanwhile the white house is ramping up the pressure on democrats to find a compromise on their vast lenl lative agenda. president biden is leading a flurry of meetings with lawmakers to break a stalemate and find a way to pass the reconciliation bill. the president spoke with senator joe manchin of west virginia over the phone yesterday. manchin has signaled in recent days he opposed the clean energy provisions in the bill, endangering the biden administration's climate change plan. progressive

trump's lawyer telling these four former aides not to comply with subpoenas from the january 6 select committeeccording to "the washington post" report tonight. the subpoenas had demand documents from all four of those individuals by tonight, and it comes as the committee issues another round of subpoenas targeting two more leaders of the stop the steal movement and as a new senate judiciary committee report lays out in great detail how far trump went to pressure his justice department to overturn the election. this part's pretty stunning. jessica schneider is "outfront." >> reporter: former president trump relentlessly sought to overturn the election, and today the attempted coup is detailed in this nearly 400-page senate report. trump directly asked justice department officials nine times to undermine the election result. and when the former president considered replacing then acting attorney general jeffrey rosen with loyalist jeffrey clark, a doj lawyer who supported the election fraud lies, white house counsel pat cipollone threatened to quit. >> it was cipollone who spoke up who said this

how far back do you think the select committee is going? o election day. you remember -- i'm a member of judiciary committee. you remember pre-election day what was going on with both the former president and his then attorney general. already sowing the seeds of discontent and a mistrust of the elections because, as the president was -- the then-president was saying, if i lose, i'm not sure i'm going to accept the results. >> right. >> even by an honest count. and so, i am certain this committee is so thoughtful, so thorough, that it will not be a snapshot in time. it will be the entire process. what led up to the election, what happened during the election, what happened after the election, and importantly, what happened on january 6th. and here's why. here's why it matters. for those who would like to say, let's turn the page, let's move on, let's look for brighter days, if we don't search for the truth as to what happened and what bad actors were involved, they may be among my very colleagues, they may be among my colleagues in the state
