and she jumped to create a select committee. not only that, she rejected the minority's picks to be on the committee. that's going against 232 years of tradition in the house. you reject the minority to have a say in the committee. who did she reject? congressman jim banks. a distinguished afghanistan veteran. she rejected congressman jim jordan. ranking member, maybe soon to be chairman of the judiciary committee. now, why she disqualified these republicans. she appointed chairman thompson, radical democrats, who, to be clear, objected to the presidential electors in 2005. she appointed congressman raskin. who also objected to the presidential electors in 2017. but let's not forget what else he said. he called for president trump's impeachment, be not during his -- impeachment, not during his term in office but when he was elected and being sworn in. and appointed congressman schiff. just saying that name should have been enough. we watched what schiff has done to this country. the years of lying about the russian hoax. the chan

host: we mentioned that this is a select committee, not a permanent standing committee. this was selected by the speaker. tells about the genesis of this committee, particularly the choice of the republican members of the select committee. guest: sure. this committee was never supposed to exist. after the attack, there was bipartisan outrage at what happened, which somewhat retreated a little bit as donald trump reasserted his grip over the republican party. what you initially saw was a call for a bipartisan commission, like the 9/11 commission, that would independently investigate this and come up with some findings that were free of the partisan render. the republicans ended up sinking that legislation. what happened instead was that speaker pelosi said we have to have some investigation, so i'm going to appoint a select committee. it happened there was there were supposed to be nine at democratic appointees and five republican appointees. maybe it was seven and five. when a minority leader mccarthy said his to the panel, pelosi vetoed them, -- vetoed two of them, which

the house select committee investigating the january 6 insurrection has accused donald trump of playing a "direct and personal role" in pressuring state and local officials to help overturn joe biden's 2020 election victory. this is the committee's chair bennie thompson. >> what happened to mike pence wasn't an isolated part of donald trump's scheme to overturn the election. in fact, pressuring public servants into betraying their oath was a fundamental part of the playbook. amy: part of trump's plot involved states sending fake slates of electors to be counted on january 6. the committee revealed wisconsin republican senator ron johnson took part in the plot. on january 6, an aide to johnson texted an aide to mike pence saying johnson wanted to hand pence "alternate slates of electors" from wisconsin and michigan. pence's aided sponded by iting, "do not givthat to him." we will air highlights from tuesday's hearing after headlines. ukrainian officials say russian forces have captured several settlements near lysychansk and severodonetsk as russia moves closer to seizing all of the luha

he is the chair of that select committee. with us today to talk about a number of issues, inflation, some of the issues that have been dealt with in the u.s. health. welcome back to washington journal. >> good to be with. >> let me ask about the fairness and growth, you are the chair of this, what is the purpose of that committee. >> this is a slight money that the speaker of the house created to look at this problem, it is bad and getting worse in this country, it is getting more and wealth and income, concentrated in a very small group of wealthy americans. the problem with that is we have always lived with poverty, what is happening now is the middle class is finding it very hard, in some places in profitable to stay middle class. rent, food, all of that stuff. education, they are very expensive and wages are stagnant. the it is a problem politically, it is attributable to the fact to the fact that people think it is working with them. we are gonna put together as many recommendations as possible. in this world without som

the select committee interviewed every person who was inside the room that -- was inside the room duringday evening oval office meeting. mr. cipollone told the committee that he was "unmistakably angry" during the meeting and that he, along with eric herschmann and mr. donoghue, "forcefully challenged mr. clark to produce evidence of his election fraud theories." mr. rosen, can you describe how that meeting started? >> yes. so after some preliminaries, so we -- we -- mr. meadows had ushered us all in and then he left. so, mr. cipollone did some introductions and things. so after some preliminaries, the president turned to me and he said, well, one thing we know is you, rosen, you aren't going to do anything. you don't even agree with the -- the claims of election fraud, and this other guy at least might do something. and then i said, well, mr. president, you're right that i'm not going to allow the justice department to do anything to try to overturn the election. that's true. but the reason for that is because that's what's consistent with the facts and the law, and that's what's requir

thompson: the select committee to investigate the january 6 attack on the united states capitol will be in order. without objection, the chair's authorized to declare the committee in recess at any point. pursuant to house authority regulation 10, the chair announces the committee's approval to release the deposition material presented during today's hearing. good afternoon. in our last hearing we told the story of a scheme driven by donald trump to pressure former vice president mike pence to illegally overturn the election results. we showed that when the pressure campaign failed and mike pence full tpeud philled his constitution -- fulfilled his constitutional obligation, donald trump turned a violent mob loose on him. we showed that the mob came within roughly 40 feet of the vice president. today we'll show that what happened to mike pence wasn't an isolated part of donald trump's scheme to overturn the election. in fact, pressuring public servants into betraying their oaths was a fundamental part of the playbook. and a handful of election officials in several key states stood bet

and you testified in the select committee's january 6th hearings recently. why was it important for you to add your voice and expertise to those hearings? >> i had spent my career working in elections. i believe in american elections. it's a basic part of the fabric of this country. peaceful transfer of power. the winner gets to win. it's too bad for the loser. you try again. donald trump really took elections to a different level by saying they were fraudulent and rigged. i have worked in the polling places ever since i began practicing law and representing republicans looking for fraud. we found it on occasion. it w prosecuted. it is important to look for it, but at this point in time, you have to be honest about the evidence that's been compiled over the last four decades, which is there is not systematic fraud -- enough to affect the outcome of all but a small number of elections. and to say thaour elections are fraudulent and rigged, and to cause a sizable proportion of the american public to now not believe is our elections are accurate, is tremendousl

schiff will present much of the select committee's finding on this matter. first, i am pleased to recognize our vice chair, miss cheney of wyoming for any opening statements she would care to offer. >> thank you very much, mister chairman. today we will begin examining president trump's effort to overturn the election by pressure of state officials and legislatures. president trump had intellect and personal role in this effort as did rudy giuliani. other words, the same people who were attempting to pressure vice president mike pence to reject electoral vote illegally were also simultaneously working to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election at the state level. each of these efforts to overturn the election is independently serious, each deserves attention both by congress and by our department of justice. as the federal court has already indicated, these efforts were already part of a better plan. preparation from january 6th. i would note 2.4 particular focus today, first, today you will hear about calls made by president trump to officials of georgia a

the select committee are seekin: us? the select committee are seeking to _ us?tee are seeking to point _ us? the select committee are seeking to point out, - us? the select committee are seeking to point out, to - us? the select committee are seeking to point out, to prove | seeking to point out, to prove to the american people if you like that donald trump was at the centre of a conspiracy to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and thereby maintain him in power and central to that alleged conspiracy is what democrats call the big lie, that was donald trump ausmat contention that the 2020 election was riddled with voter fraud and therefore that the result was stolen from him. today, the committee in its second public hearing heard numerous former donald trump aides say that they attempted to persuade the former president that indeed there was no sign of illegitimacy as far as the election result was concerned, but he consistently ignored them and we heard there from william barr, the former attorney general who was handpicked by donald trump a

warrant an urgent announcement like this that there will be a special hearing of the january 6th select committee tomorrow? >> you know, it could be anything. but the analogy that occurs to me is july 16th, 1973. alexander butterfield, a white house aide, appeared out of nowhere in the senate watergate committee hearings to say there was a white house taping system. no one knew anything about the white house tapes. it wasn't previewed to the press. but they wanted to get him out there right away. is it something similar? beats the hell out of me. >> beats the hell out of me too. elliot, the committee has already revealed some very, very compelling evidence and testimony. at this point, could anything really fundamentally change our understanding of what happened on january 6th? >> wolf, i think so because, you know, i see three big open legal questions here. number one, did president trump know what he was doing was illegal? number two, was there ever a point at which president trump acknowledged to somebody else that he had lost the election. and number three, what kind of direct contact did pre

amy: today, highlights from the second public hearing i the house select committee to investigate the january 6 attack on the united states capitol. the main witnesses were from former president trump's inner circle, including former attorney general william barr, bill stepien. also how trump used lies about election fraud to raise $250 million from his supporters for an election defense fund that did not exist. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. the house committee investigating the january 6 insurrection held its second public hearing monday. video testimony was aired of numerous trump white house insiders saying there was no basis to donald trump's claims the election was stolen. former attorney general william barr said trump was "detached from reality" for refusing to accept his election loss. the committee also revealed that trump heavily relied on far-fetched claims by his lawyer rudolph giuliani who was reportedly drunk on election night when he pushed trump to falsely claim victory. the house p

engel told me it was untrue. >> the select committee has previously interviewed both ornato, a former service agent himself and engel and committee member stephanie murphy had this response to the disputed testimony. >> while the details are being disputed, the broader idea is not being disputed. mr. ornato did not have as clear of a memory from this period of time, and as i would say, m hutchinson did, if that's a fair assessment there, and we're always happy to have those who have recalled things to come back and talk to us. >> a spokesman for the secret service said the agency was not asked about hutchinson's testimony before tuesday's hearing and says it will make any member available to testify under oath. to be clear, the agency is not denying that the former president was angry about not being taken to the capitol, only that there was an altercation in the suv version of the beast. >>> mark meadows meanwhile is denying testimony that he asked for president trump for a pardon. in a statement to nbc news, from his spokesperson, meadows insists he quote never sought a pardon and n

. >> reporter: new video released by the january 6th select committee, showing a man outside the capital, directing threats to democratic members of congress. >> pelosi, nadler, schumer, even you, aoc. we are coming to take you out. we will pull you out by your hairs. >> reporter: that same man, scene the day before on a tour of the capital complex, with republican congressman barry loudermilk, snapping pictures the committee believes are suspicious. chairman bennie thompson, writing to loudermilk, quote, individuals on the tour photographed and recorded areas of the complex not typically of interest to tourists, including hallways, staircases and security checkpoints. the committee re-upping its concerns after capital police chief tom majors said earlier this week, we do not consider any of the activities we observed as a suspicious. loudermilk has refused to meet with the committee, claiming the inquiry has led to death threats against his family. >> the committee is never called me and asked me anything. >> they sent you a letter. >> do you regret giving that to her? >> i condemn that

. >> through the select committee's arings, we've learnethat multiple people, including attorney general bill barr, told president trump that the claims of election fraud had no merit. we've heard about the pressure campaign that was mounted against vice president pence to overturn president trump's defeat. we have learned about president trump's efforts to pressure state officials to overturn the results of elections in their states. some members of the select committee have indicated that they believe there is enough evidence to warrant justice department investigation of former president trump. take a look at this. >> according to federal district judge david carter, former president trump and others likely violated multiple federal laws by engaging this scheme, including conspiracy to defraud the united states. >> the judge evaluated the facts and he reached the conclusion that president trump's efforts to pressure vice president pence to act illegally by refusing to count electoral votes likely violated two federal criminal statutes. >> i have heard you say that you are doubtful tha

the select committee discovered no such fund existed. i don't think there's actually a fund called the election defense fund. >> it was another i think we called it a marketing tactic, and tells about these marketing tactics. >> just topic matter where money could potentially go, how many could potentially be used. >> the claims of this election was stolen were so successful come president trump and its allies raise $250 million, nearly $100 million in the first week after the election. on november 9, 2020, president trump created a separate entity called the save america back. most of the money raised went to the newly created pac, not to election related litigation. the select committee discovered that the save america pac made millions of contributions to protest organizations including $1 million to trump chief of staff mark meadows checkable foundation. $1 million to the america first policy institute, a conservative organization which employs several former top administration officials, $204,857 to the trump hotel collection, and o

in an e-mail produced to the select committee, dr. eastman told a trump campaign that it did not matter. quote, the fact that we have multiple slates of electors demonstrates the uncertainty of either. that would be enough. he urged that pence act boldly and be challenged. documents produced to the select committee show that the trump campaign took steps to ensure that the physical copies of the fake electors electoral votes from two states were delivered to washington for january 6th. text messages exchanged between republican party officials in wisconsin show that on january 4th the trump campaign asked for someone to fly their fake electors' documents to washington. a staffer for wisconsin senator ron johnson texted a staffer for vice president pence minutes before the joint session. this staffer stated that senator johnson wished to hand deliver to the vice president the fake electors' votes from michigan and wisconsin. the vice president's aid unambiguously instructed them not to deliver the fake votes to the vice president. even

your committee did lay out how republican senator ron johnson actually tried to deliver a fake selectrs to then vice president pence on the morning of january 6th. does your committee need to hear directly from senator johnson? >> well, senator johnson has an open invitation like everybody else who may be a material witness to parts of these events to come forward and tell us what he knows. certainly, if he knows anything more than that, we'd love to hear from him. we understand that organized hit on the election implied the collection of these counterfeit electors, and it would be comic if it weren't so tragic to see people stepping forward and claiming to be electors for a majority when obviously their candidate lost. >> the vice chair of the select committee, liz cheney, says the american people deserve to hear from former white house counsel pat cipollone. what specifically do you want him to shed light on and how aggressively is the committee pursuing his testimony? >> his name has been invoked frequently as someone who repeatedly warned donald trump that there was no factual mer

let's pause now while chairman thompson gavels in today's hearing. >> the select committee to investigateanuary 6th attack on the united states capitol will be in order. without objection, the chair is authorized to declare the committee in recess at any point. pursuant to house deposition authority regulation 10, the chair announces the committee's approval to release the deposition material presented during today's hearing. good afternoon. at our last hearing we told the story of a scheme driven by donald trump to pressure former vice president mike pence to illegally overturn the election results. we showed that when the pressure campaign failed and mike pence fulfilled his constitutional obligation, donald trump turned a violent mob loose on him. we showed that the mob came within roughly 40 feet of the vice president. today we'll show that what happened to mike pence wasn't an isolated part of donald trump's scheme to overturn the election. in fact, pressuring public servants into betraying their oaths was a fundamental part of the playbook. and a handful of election officials in sev

the house select committee on january 6th has interviewed more than 1000 people as well. as reviewing video footage of the day and phone and computer records, press reports and court documents related to the committee have made some stunning revelation resolution. many center around former white house chief of staff, mark meadows. he was with the president from much of the day and was contacted by multiple republicans within the capital, begging him to get trump to order his supporters to go home. it's unclear how much he may have coordinated with people involved in the riot. meadows has refused to testify as have many of trumps closest allies. trump's ongoing hold on the republican party has made the committee's work more difficult. most republicans have openly attacked the committee's work and say it's a partisan hit job. but democrats hope the hearings will show how far the white house was willing to go to keep trump in power. so all eyes on this 1st session of the january 6th hearings for more, i'm joined now by our correspondence stephan simons. he's in washington 7th

the united states secret service has been cooperating with the select committee since its inception in spring 2021 and will continue to do so. statement goes on to say including by responding on the record to the committee regarding the new allegations surfaced in today's testimony. andrew mccabe, you're the former deputy director. what's your reaction? >> this has got to be incredibly uncomfortable to the secret service, all the men and women, particularly those who serve the president. they never want to be in a position of opposing a president or former president, providing information that might make a former president look bad so this is very tough on them. however, it is also a test of their integrity and where they are today. they absolutely need to come forward and be clear and transparent with what they know. put that information in the hands of the committee and allow justice and our processes to take its course no matter where that ends up so it's good to see that. >> i spent a lot of time with the secret service when i was a white house correspondent. seven years. it was am

obviously cannot listen to the entire recording here today, although it's available on the select committee's website, but we will listen to selected excerpts of it now so we can get your insights. let's begin with the president raising the thoroughly debunked allegations of suitcases of ballots. >> they weren't in an official voter box, they were in what's looked to be suitcases or trunks, suitcases, but they weren't in voter boxes. the minimum number it could be, because we watched it, and they watched it certified in slow motion, instant replay, if you can believe it. but it had slow motion, and it was magnified many times over. and the minimum it was, was 18,000 ballots, all four by -- biden. >> these are the allegations the department of justice, the attorney general, the georgia bureau of investigation, and your office all said were false. is that right? >> correct. and even more importantly, when b.j. pak resigned as u.s. attorney of the north district, president trump appointed his replacement in bobby christine. bob christine looked at that and quoted he found nothing and dismissed t

he is blaming the january 6th select committee of a witch-hunt or going after him after he outright defieda and request for documents. the committee referring him to the department of justice for criminal contempt of congress because of his defiance and the doj agreed indicting him on two different counts, one for not supplying those documents that the committee asked for and then another for refusing to sit down for an interview with the committee. now, these are serious charges. felony charges that could bring with it extensive jail time up to two years and perhaps $200,000 in fines. now, navarro believes he had no reason to comply with the subpoena because he was doing what the former president donald trump told him to do and assert executive privilege. this despite the fact that the current occupant of the white house, joe biden did not extend that privilege request to people that were associated with the former president. the question now is, will these other individuals who have been referred under these same circumstances including mark meadows, the former chief of staff and dan sca

if on cue joining our conversation, congresswoman elaine lauria, she's a be in of the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection. i don't know if you heard dan goldman's point, but we've been talking about how much evidence the committee has gathered to its great credit and how aggressive it has been in pursuing the innermost members of trump's inner circle including his family members. can you talk to us about the committee's strategic decision to include some of the family members in the testimony perhaps even as early as tonight? >> well, you know, i think it is impressive the number the people that has spoken to the committee. we have over 140,000 documents and although there are some people that have defied subpoenas by the committee and saying they won't testify or appear before the committee and the fact that those closest to the president have spoken to the committee and spoken frankly about the committee and the events of that day surrounding january 6th, i think, is a huge testament to the work of the committee and valuable in presenting that presenting, and

going to leave it there and let's go and listen in now because that hearing is starting the select committee to investigate january thinks of tech on a united states capital would be an order. without objection, the chairs authorized to declare the committee in recess at any point, but so into house deposition authority, regulation 10, the chair analysis, the committees approval to release the deposition material represent at dawn, today's hearing. good afternoon. this is almost no idea more on american then the notion that any one person could choose the american president no idea more on american. i agree with that, which is unusual because former vice president mike pence and i don't agree on much these are his words spoken a few months ago about donald trump said tim to pressure the form of vice president, pressure him into going along with an unlawful and unconstitutional scheme to overturn the 2020 election and give donald trump a 2nd term in office that he did not win to day. the select committee is going to reveal the details of that pressure campaign. but what does the vice presiden

he's the chair of that select committee. he's with us this morning to talk about a number of issues, inflation, the issues being dealt with. congressman, welcome back to washington journal >> good to be with you >> let me ask you about the select committee. the economic disparity and fairness committee. what is the purpose of the committee? >> this is a select committee that the speaker of the house created at the start of this congress, to look at a problem that is getting bad and worse. more and more wealth and income is concentrated in a really small group of wealthy americans. the problem with that is, you know, this country has always had poverty, what is happening now is the middle class is finding it hard to state middle class, rent, food, all that stuff, education is really expensive. and wages are stagnant. the problem with that is that it's a problem economically and it's also a problem politically, a lot of volatility in our politics is attributed to the fact that the system is not working for them. if you can put

so that it directly contradicts the view of the members of the january 6th select committee. ittee wants more than anything, wolf, is for loudermilk to come in and answer questions about what he knows about this situation. he claims the committee has not made that formal request despite numerous letters on that point. so the committee still believes this is something that should be a part of their investigation. >> lots of questions. thanks very much. ryan nobles up on capitol hill. we're joined now by jamie raskin of maryland. thank you for joining us. i want to get to tomorrow's hearing in just a moment, but first do you believe this video put out by your committee proves this was indeed a reconnaissance tour? >> one video doesn't prove anything. but there's video of the same individual on that tour marching with the maga crowd bantering back and forth with a gentleman who had turned his american flag into a weapon, about how this was going to be used on someone special. and so there are a lot of questions about it, and all we asked congressman loudermilk was to do what hund

the senate spent much of the day today in an old darn fashioned party line wrangle over the select committeedavid dorsen and was the chief assistant count of the watergate committee. the creation of the senate committee followed the "the washington post" or the calls on watergate. it followed the trial before judge sirica. the vote to set up the select committee by the senate was 77-0. sflmp now the country could not vote 77-0 to keep american-of-american flag. there would be some. >> he has to convince the american people that the system is work and if part of the system broke down, another group can come in and make sure that it runs correctly. >> howard baker was the vice chair, senator from tennessee, a conservative republican. >> and the chief counsel of the committee was a fellow named sam dash. he was looking for three people to run the investigations, i had no idea that this was going to go this high. no idea. >> our role is to make close closures and inform the american people through televised hearings. we had the power of subpoena and the power to put people under oat but congress

"the beat" with ari melber starts right now. >> i'll see uh-uh soon. i only have an insignificant question. between now and then, are you focusing on coffee or food? >> i'm going to have dinner with my family, so that would be curtain number two, food. >> food and coffee

this was a complete surprise but the select committee must feel like it has found new evidence that isent and so important that it needed to hold a last minute hearing to put it out there as soon as possible. i think it's also worth noting that since the hearings began, the select committee says they have seen an influx of tips into their tip line. they have also been using the high profile hearings to implore more witnesses to come forward, so perhaps those efforts were successful, but as of right now, we are all in suspense, and certainly the expectations for tomorrow are heightening. >> the element of surprise cannot be overstated here. the committee chair, bennie thompson said future hearings will include more scenes from that documentary about the trumps. what do we know about that? >> yeah, yeah. this documentary is supposed to include never before seen footage of the trump family on the 2020 campaign trail, and also of their reactions to the 2020 election results, and we know of one particular scene of ivanka trump saying she believes her father needs to continue fighting the 20

wolf. >> is there a sense, ryan, this newly obtained by the select committee could be time sensitive? >> it certain seems to have all the markings of that wolf. as we said before, the committee pla h plans to take a step back. they were collecting new information that came in as a result of the first round of hearings. they weren't planting to have anything additionally be done until july and most members have left town. the july 4 recess is in effect for members of don't guess. we are thou told these members are making their way back to washington, d.c. to be part of this surprise, what many might describe as an emergency hearing. it makes it seem as if-let information they want to deliver tomorrow morning does have a degree of time sensitivity to it. >> ryan, i want you to stand by. i want to bring in am former fbi director an dandrew mccabe and maggie haberman-let warn shingt correspondent for "the new york times." andrew, the fbi agents seized eastman's phone as he was walking out of a restaurant. made him up lock it. what does that say to you about this investigation? >> well, i

in either produced to the select committee dr. eastman told a trump campaign representative it did not matter that the electors had not been approved by state authority. quote, the fact that with multiple states of electors demonstrate the uncertainty of either. that should be enough picky arched pins act boldly and be challenged.lt documents produced show the trump campaign took steps to ensure the physical copies of this fake electors allocable votes from two states were delivered to washington for january 6th. text messages exchanged between republican party officials in wisconsin showed on january 4 the trump campaign asked for someone to fly their fakeng electors document to washington a staffer for wisconsin senator ron johnson texted a staffer for vice president pence minutes before the beginning of the joint session. this staffer stated senator johnson wish to hand-deliver to the vice president the folks from michigan and wisconsin. thee vice presidents aid and ambiguously instructed them not to deliver the fake votes to t

thompson: the select committee to investigate the january 6 aack on the cital is in order. the chair is authorized to declare the committeand resource -- in recess at any time. the chair announces the mmittee's approval to release the deposition material presented during this hearing. good afternoon. in our hearings over the previous weeks, the select committee has laid out the details oa multiple part pressure campaign driven by the former president aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election and blocking theransfer of power. we have shown that this effort was based on a l. a lie that the election was stolen, tainted by widespread fraud, donald trump's big lie. in the weeks aad, the commtee will hold additional hearings about how donald trump summoned a mob of his -- of his supporters to washington, spred them to march on the capital and failed to take meaningful action to qll the violence as it was unfolding on january 6. however, in recent days, the select committee has obtained new information dealing with what was going on in the white hoe on jan
