there was a lot of excitement and praise on friday when they announced the steve bannon indictment. bennie thompson a statement saying, this is an indication of mark meadows and others who do not want to cooperate with our organization. good -- host: good morning. caller: the defense authorization bill. it is such a mess. they are scattered across the world right now. they had to divert so many carriers. also with the pacific rate now. the other problem is the use of our national guard. they deployed 500 troops. our national guard is overstretched right now, really bad. response to wildfires and everything. host: mike willis. isn't that one of the bigger bills in congress? guest: it is always popular. the question is not if it will pass, but when. as i mentioned, he is shooting to do that this week. there are a couple controversial elements to this one. the house democrats and their put a stipulation that women will be required to register for selective service. we do not have a draft, but men come when they turn 18 still have to register with selective service. there are a lot of conservatives who

bennie thompson and liz cheney saying steve bannon's indictment will send a clear message to anyone that thinks they can ignore the select committee or try to stone wall the investigation. no one is above the law. we will not hesitate to use the tools at our disposal to get the information we need. committee member cro khanna als weighing in tonight. >> it sends a message no american is above the rule of law, that the same rules apply to everyone and i don't know why steve bannon thinks he shouldn't have to answer questions from the united states congress or produce documents to the united states congress when every other citizen would compile. >> like i said, this is huge. the doj hasn't charged anyone with criminal contempt of congress in 38 years and let's remember why the committee subpoenaed steve bannon in the first place. they want to know more about moments like this one. we're going to show the day before the attack on the united states capitol. >> all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. understand this. all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. it's not going to happen like

thompson. do you really see them going the way of steve bannon? >> reporter: they're making that clear that is something they may do. bennie thompson has said for weeks he will not put up with any stall tactics, that they would move the way they did with steve bannon, to refer him to the justice department for criminal contempt charges. the problem is they don't know exactly what the justice department is going to do. we have not gotten any indication about whether merrick garland, the attorney general, would move forward with criminal contempt charges for steve bannon. that if they decide not to, that could make it easier for witnesses not to comply, point to the onkwoing court cases and defy the subpoenas. nevertheless, the committee said they would not semaccept what m meadows' reason for not showing up. they're still planning to move ahead, may move forward to refer him for criminal contempt charges. we do expect a statement from the committee soon in the aftermath of meadows' decision not to appear in person or answer questions. at that point,

my sense is he doesn't want to get ahead of bennie thompson, but they use steve bannon as someone theyiminally to make the case for mark meadows, you better be forthcoming. if there are things you think are privileged, maybe there is some oaccommodation that can be made, but lots of things that mark meadows heard, saw or communicated are clearly not in the privilege. >> and they are clearly important to getting to the bottom of january 6. that is the question i have been wrestling with for some time now is executive privilege, executive privilege every time no matter what. might the courts look at january 6 and see something so extraordinary that executive privilege rights don't go as far, that they don't carry the same weight when we're investigating something as important as an attempted coup in our country? >> i think that's a great way of putting it and a great way of framing it. and executive branch officials themselves will look at what is the necessity of the investigation, what is the material? as you may know, as an initial matter, the biden administration, joe biden and his l

now, as chairman congressman bennie thompson and liz cheney said today steve bannon's indictment should send a clear message to anyone who thinks they can ignore the select committee or try to stone wall the investigation. no one is above the law. we will not hesitate to use the tools at our disposal to get the information we need. a member of the january 6th committee is going to join me shortly but first, glen and elie is a justice correspondent for the nation and bringer of the fire. glen, i want to kick off with you. listen, this is a huge deal that happened today and definitely send as strong message however, this doesn't guarantee that steve bannon is going to cooperate. this says you have to show up. do we anticipate that he will still cooperate with the select committee and be truthful in his response? >> that's a great question, tiffany, because contempt of congress, criminal contempt is designed to punish steve bannon for the crimes he committed. but the inherent contempt power of congress is designed to enable congress itself to enforce its own subpoenas that and compel testi

steve bannon did and refuse to show up and pass participate. he showed up and did not say anything meaningful. >> chairman thompson said we are ready to take some strong action if he doesn't reconsider. what that means, i don't know. you can't do more than what they did with steve bannon than refer for criminal contempt. the justice department has not acted on steve bannon. they had the papers on the desk for two weeks. they want the justice department to move yesterday. whether they go to contempt for jeff clark or partly how they assess what the justice department is doing with steve bannon and whether that is worth doing again. >> these other subpoenas expected to come out. 20 subpoenas that apparently chairman thompson signed. does that influence that? if you get a subpoena for the committee, do you get to look at steve bannon and jeffrey clark and say that's my out? >> that is the fear. if there is no teeth, and people look at them and say why bother? i can resist and withhold and delay and nothing will happen. it is a different calculus than steve bannon. we don't know who the next round of 20 subpoenas are for. we think one is john eastm

this is what the chairman benny thompson and liz cheney a republican said after this. they said, steve bannon's indictment should send a clear message to anyone who thinks they can ignore the committee or stone wall the investigation. no one is above the law. we will not hesitate to use tools at our disposal to get the information we need. >> not the only ones to react. we saw live reactions and more on what they told cnn. >> it sends a message to future invited witnesses. you may not like it. you may think nothing wrong was done but you are not going to be able to avoid it. this is certainly a good thing and sends a chilling message to anybody else that will follow through like this. >> another thing to keep in mind in all of this, republicans have been slamming this committee. namely house minority leader saying this investigation is a sham committee investigating the january 6 insurrection because the two appointmented republicans are of course liz cheney and add kinsinger. it is a house selected committee. it sends a really strong message to any witnesses who refuse to comply and t

there was a lot of excitement and praise on friday when they announced the steve bannon indictment. bennie thompson out a statement saying, this is an indication of mark meadows and others who do not want to cooperate with our organization. good -- host: good morning. caller: the defense authorization bill. it is such a mess. they are scattered across the world right now. they had to divert so many carriers. also with the pacific rate now. the other problem is the use of our national guard. they deployed 500 troops. our national guard is overstretched right now, really bad. response to wildfires and everything. host: mike willis. isn't that one of the bigger bills in congress? guest: it is always popular. the question is not if it will pass, but when. as i mentioned, he is shooting to do that this week. there are a couple controversial elements to this one. the house democrats and their put a stipulation that women will be required to register for selective service. we do not have a draft, but men come when they turn 18 still have to register with selective service. there are a lot of conservatives

today, bennie thompson and liz cheney issued a statement reading, steve bannon's indictment should send a clear message to anyone who thinks they can ignore the committee or stonewall the investigation. no one is above the law. we will not hesitate to use the tools at our disposal to get the information we need. trump pardoned steve bannon from fraud charges earlier this year. but that is not currency, and will not do anything for him now. bannon is facing up to two years max on the contempt charges. he's expected to surrender himself monday before his first court appearance. no doubt after enjoying his weekend. he's taking a defiant stand. >> we're taking action. we're taking over the republican party, all of the elections, and we're going to get to the bottom of 3 november, and we're going to decertify the electors, and you're going to have a constitutional crisis. >> and mark meadows, a no-show today, despite the 1/6 committee's demand that he appear. that didn't go over well with the committee. issuing this warning, mr. meadows' actions today, choosing to defy the law, will force th

tonight select committee chairman benny thompson and vice chair liz cheney said steve bannon's indictment should send a clear message to anyone who thinks they can ignore the select committee or try to stonewall our investigation. no one is above the law. we will not hesitate to use the tools at our disposal to get the information we need. select committee member jamie raskin said this about steve bannon's indictment on msnbc last hour. >> here we pursued criminal contempt and that's just a crime. it was a criminal offense. he violated the law when he stood us up, when he blew off the subpoena. and he violated the law when he refused to produce the documents and the papers we were looking for. but at the same time on a parallel track, if we bring a civil contempt action against him the courts also have the power to compel him to testify and to bring us those documents. and if he doesn't, he can be held, again, behind bars. but he has the key to his own freedom as the contempt of bar says because all he has to do is testify and turn over the documents and he can get out of jail on the civi

steve bannon. he was subpoenaed to this sham committee headed by the representative thompson, let's start there, headedby the representative supposed to be an investigation into what happened in. representative thompson sued president trump personally saying president trump was responsible for january 6th and then he was personally damaged by it. how could that be an investigator into this? he prejudged it. he mentioned liz cheney earlier. she said president trump was the root cause, she's on that that committee. adam schiff your viewers know well about, the lead prosecutor. these people set it up. they sent the subpoena demanding his appearance and produce documents. >> sean: where is the commission looking into the 535 riots that took place in the summer of 2020 where dozens of americans died, billions of dollars in property damage and looting and arson? >> doesn't fit their political agenda. this is completely politicized and now they've politicize the criminal law. it's absolutely outrageous. what happened here is bannon is a layperson and that's the subpoena, invoked the privilege, the executive p

"the washington post" reports, quote, chairman bennie thompson has previously said he hopes the investigation wraps up in early spring of next year. as the midterm elections approach, it's a "one step forward, two steps back" that wants to yield results. they're increasingly alarming with inflation, even with signs that the economy is appearing to recover and the job market appears to be strob. weekly jobs claims fell. that's the lowest level in over half a century, but that doesn't help with what people are paying for gas on the highways tonight, which brings u on this thanksgiving eve with the holiday weekend that is before us. it is clear we're still very much in the grip of this pandemic. we've now passed 48 million confirmed covid cases in our country. over 780,000 souls have been lost to the virus every day. we lose over a thousand more. the number of new cases continues to rise.

meadows apparently shook after steve bannon got indicted for defying the congressional probe and chairman thompsonords and will appear for an initial deposition. bannon has a very different fate. he is fighting the federal government. he could go to jail. the committee also looking at potentially pressuring or punishing doj official jeffrey clark who may go to bannon route. let's go to democrat strategist and analyst juanita toliver. it appears that he would rather try his hand at a tough deposition than take any risk of going to trial and jail. >> it sounds like meadows thought to himself, how can i toe the line to stay out of jail, stay out of criminal contempt charges like bannon, but also toe the line of making sure i don't betray donald trump. that's why he was clear in saying i'll volunteer information via my attorney, but i'm still maintaining something that resembles this claim of executive privilege that we know trump is pushing for right now. when he's going into this, i don't think the select committee should expect him to spill his guts by any means, but they're going to get as much ou

cooperation of those people already subpoenaed by the january 6th committee, thompson tells nbc news, quote, nobody is where steve bannon was, you know, the trump ally held in contempt of congress for defying their subpoena. congressman thompson also performed what committee vice chair liz complainy tells ploit politico that they have completed 150 interviewings with a whole range of people connected to the events. some formal interviews, some depositions, there really is a huge amount of work under way that's leading to a huge amount of work for us. thompson said this. >> we have staff in arizona, staff in michigan, staff in pennsylvania, staff in georgia. you know. i mean, it's a major investigation. we look at it like that. it's almost a deposition or two a day as well as other methods of getting information. >> those depositions today, jeffrey clark, testifying before the committee this afternoon. clark, the former justice department official implicated in trump's d.o.j. pressure campaign. politico reports this, clark was, quote, accompanied by a lawyer who worked on a suit aimed at overturning the georgia el

your committee chairman bennie thompson says you have a, quote, problem if the justice department doesn't prosecute stever committee's investigation hinges on the department of justice action and acting expeditiously on this? >> well, we just hope that they follow the law. and that's what the department of justice should do. and the law says specifically that they have a duty to bring this in front of a grand jury. that's the language and so when the house of representatives voted to hold mr. bannon in contempt, that's transmitted to the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia and the law says exactly what the next step should be. so we expect them to undertake their work but to perform the duty that the law requires, which is to move forward and have -- and hold mr. bannon accountable. >> it will be a critical department of justice decision. congressman pete aguilar, thanks, as usual, for joining us. >> thanks, wolf. >>> coming up, why are houston police pushing back on calls for an independent probe of the astroworld concert disaster? we have details, and we'll share them with you, right after the b

work here, today the one six committee chair benny thompson and co-chair liz cheney issued a statement together about bannon that red, in part, steve bannon's indictment should send a clear message to anyone who thinks they can ignore the select committee or try to stonewall our investigation. no one is above the law. we will not hesitate to use the tools that our disposal to get the information we need. close quote. trump hardens steve man in earlier this year when he was facing fraud charges, that pardon is not currency, and will do nothing for him now. and it is now facing up to two years max on the contempt artist, but then it is because who is trying to himself on monday before his first quarter appearance. no doubt, after enjoying's weekend, would it surprise you to learn that he is taking a defiant stand. >> we're taking action, were taken over the republican party, were taken over all the elections, and we're gonna continue that. we're going to get to the bottom of three november, and we're going to decertify the electors. and you can have a constitutional crisis. >> as for former trump steve staff mark meadows, who happens

result, the committee chairman benny thompson saw this coming thursday night and moved forward with possibly referring mark meadows and over what could happen with steve bannon and might be the only witness who goes through the process. steve bannon's indictment shouldn't send a clear mess other to anyone trying to stone wall. no one is above the law. other members also reacted this is what she said in a tweet. the grand jury indicted bannon. let this send a message to all of those who would attack our democracy. the days are over we will expose those involved. no one is above the law. calling this investigation a sham. the two moderate republicans who were strong critics of former president trump. this shows a strong message to any witnesses who refuse to comply. they have the process behind them. the bottom line is this is a very strong message to those who would cooperate. >> bringing in the legal analyst for those who would join the attorney general he refused to appear. refused to hand over documents. if you were on the defense team, what would keep him from getting convicted? >> he doesn't need to mount a defense. it is his right to not rebut ch

thompson expect to get compliance? the doj has yet to bring the panel's recommended contempt charge against steve bannon for defying themittee and we don't know how the committee will address jeffrey clarkstone on friday. he appeared for his deposition, but he didn't answer any questions. there's some big trump names from the white house in this batch. stephen miller, kayleigh mcenany, stephen miller was with trump at the stop the steal rally. mcenany, with trump at times while he watched the insurrection unfold. there are eight others. follows the six subpoenas dropped on trump world players yesterday. a grand total of 35. the gop, the so-called party of law and order, trying to block this investigation. even though it was a terror attack on our capitol. the vice chair of the january 6th committee, liz cheney, goper, called out her own party again tonight. >> political leaders who sit silent in the face of these false and dangerous claims are aiding a former president who is at war with the rule of law and the constitution. this nation needs a republican party that is based on truth, that millions of americans have be

steve bannon. >> because he was chief of staff. >> they don't have to go to criminal contempt. bennie thompsonations they have for meadows and we haven't seen that left yet. my belief is we may not see criminal contempt in the future and the other is jeffrey clark peddling the big lie within the justice department. also defied the subpoena. >> talked to the committee but tried to put up some excuse of executive privilege and attorney/client privilege and there should be movement on clark as well. the committee will be very busy this week on a number of fronts. meadows and clark included. >> the committee will in part be impact what had happens in the court. the appeals court hears the trump arguments he somehow has executive privilege. we'll see how the court rules on that and the department of just cities trying to rein in steve bannon, cited for contempt and faces federal charges and the justice department says the defense is misleading claims with unexplained wholesale opposition and the defense's real purpose is to abuse criminal discovery to try this case in the media rather than court. m

steve bannon, he's refusing to come play. they're set to be looking at the criminal contempt referral just like they did with bannon. benny thompson said meadows still has time to answer his subpoena, but he warns he likely won't wait indefinitely. earlier this evening, one committee member made it clear discussions about one mark meadows are at a serious stage. >> we had a very good discussion, making sure that all of the elements that would be necessary, the support of prosecution are present. we met with the committee lawyers, and i would say this discussion is very much ongoing. we are going to pursue every piece of evidence so that when we are through, we'll be able to tell the american public and our colleagues here in the congress everything there is to know so that we can take appropriate action, whether it's revising the act, revisiting the insurrection act or a number of many other things that we want to take a look at. >> more subpoenas are coming, but would not say when. the committee sites meadow having been with trump as one big reason they're hoping to hear from him. meadows is reported to play a role in sending a m

similarly positioned to steve bannon, and an indictment will not help them publicly, so folks may start thinking twice about cooperating. >> i spect they will. >> elie, bennie thompson and the vie chair released a statement -- it should sense a clear message to anyone who thinking they can ignore the select committee, no one is above the law. we will not hesitate to used tools at our disposal to get the information we need. what does that tell you? >> wolf, this is the most powerful single tool in our law. this operates on one level, a warning shot to all the other witnesses thinking about defying. it makes the choice quite stark, either testify or risk indictment. but even bigger picture than that, this is about separation of powers and the balance of powers between congress and the executive branch. i think that's what you're seeing. this is congress standing its ground, using the tools available to it under the law and the constitution to perform its key investigative and oversight functions. >> you know, andrew, the former trump chief of staff mark meadows defied a subpoena this morning, adding his name to the list. is it realistic to think the u.s. justice depa

mississippi democrat congressman bennie thompson had threatened to hold former chief of staff mark meadows in contempt as he did for long-time trump aide steveden laptop scandal. correspondent kevin corke has the latest tonight. good evening, kevin. >> good to see you, my friend. there is a new round of explosive allegations coming from the post columnist miranda devine. you may have heard of her. she has a new book out it's called "laptop from hell" it alleges that the president sought a 10% cut from a deal with chinese government energy conglomerate cfec the deal according to the book also involved hunter biden as well as the president's brother jim biden along with tony bobulinski. excerpts from that book published today by the post also detail what appears to be, according to the author, strong evidence of international influence peddling. >> i think the top line is that joe biden lied to the american people during the campaign when he said that he knew nothing about his son hunter's oversea business dealings. there is evidence galore of this laptop of multiple meetings that joe biden had when he was vice president with hunter biden's bu

thompson says more subpoenas are coming this week. and meanwhile, the legal problems perhaps the most prominent subpoena target steve bannon continue.o plead not guilty to that charge of criminal contempt of congress. he was supposed to be arraigned tomorrow, but because he filed this today, it likely means that that arraignment won't happen. they will now set a trial date and that process will continue. pam? >> ryan nobles, thanks for that. >>> now to a world lead. today, chinese state media is claiming tennis star hung shuai -- they began demanding answers as to why she hasn't been seen publicly in weeks. now cnn's ivan watson is looking into the explosive me too allegations and if that correspondence from peng shuai is actually from her. >> reporter: the royalty of professional tennis expressing concern about the welfare of one of their own. >> honestly it's shocking that she's missing. >> reporter: warnings echoed by other champions past and present. >> i hope peng shuai and her family are safe and okay writs naomi osaka adding #where is peng shuai. i've known peng since she was 14. where is she? a chinese tennis champion -- >>

thompson told me that he should be worried about a potential criminal contempt referral in the same way that stevedoesn't cooperate. >> all right, harry, this guy, jeffrey clark, he wanted department of justice officials to overturn the election. the reason he's not talking is he is citing attorney/client privilege. please explain this. attorney/client privilege? he worked for the department of justice. we, the american people, are the client, the taxpayers. we want to hear from him! >> no kidding. and the other thing he's citing is executive privilege and his argument in his letter is, trump was entitled to assertive. trump hasn't asserted it as to him. it's really inane. it has no purchase, at all. but if you read his letter, the very first thing that happens, the letter from his lawyer is, he drops a footnote saying, i preserve all my other rights. here's my read on jeffrey clark, he's not talking, no matter what, but he wants to do it in the way that most preserves his reputation. his openinged by is this really lousy, nonclaim of executive privilege. but when push comes to shove, he'll cite t

thursday night benny thompson, chairman of the committee, went forward with starting the process to possibly refer him for criminal contempt, the same process that happened to steve bannon which led to him being indicted yesterday. now, they really believe to send a strong message to those that don't comply. i want to read some statements. they said steve bannon's indictment should send a clear message to anyone that thinks they can ignore the select committee or try to stonewall our investigation. no one is above the law. we will not hesitate to use the tools at our disposal to get the information we need. now, another democrat on the committee, jamie raskin, had strong words for donald trump's allies. he said all of the friends of donald trump should take note, justice system of the united states will not tolerate con tem shoe us violations of rule of law. strong words from members of the committee to any other witnesses or anyone subpoenaed that doesn't comply with the committee's investigation. they're trying to send the message if they don't comply, there will be consequences. fred? >> thank you so much for that. joining me, former nixon white house counsel

thompson. so far they have issued 35 according to key trump officials like chief of staff mark meadows, press secretary kaylee mcenany. they have faced fierce resistance. former chief strategist steves been in contempt of congress for refusing to comply with his subpoena. they are considering referring mark meadows for criminal attempt after he refused to comply. the committee is being hampered here by time. members are only in d.c. until friday. that's when they'll head back to their districts for the thanksgiving holiday. examine there is really no way to play out a criminal contempt referral that fast. any decision on med owes will likely not play out until the last week of november. plus we learned the chairman of the committee is going to be sending out one more letter to meadows to give him another chance to comply. the committee also has a looming legal fight. it will go to court to argue against trump's attorneys' claims of executive privilege. that will be november 30. in fact, the attorneys filed their brief on tuesday, arguing that if the court does not stop the select committee from accessing these presidential records, it could forever change the dynamic between the po

thompson telling cnn today they have not made a decision on the next steps with meadows. criminal contempt, however, is a step they've already taken with trump loyalist and podcast host steve bannon. >> this is going to be the misdemeanor from hell for merrick garland, nancy pelosi and joe biden. >> reporter: he kept up his defiant tone. his new lawyer, dave shone is the same man that defended the former president at his second impeachment trial. he's arguing that bannon did nothing wrong, that he was following the advice on his attorney. >> he acted on the advice of counsel. his counsel has been clear. he directed him not to appear and provide the documents because executive privilege had been invoked. >> reporter: select committee members believe it will send a message. >> nobody is above the law. the vice chair has said that time and time again. we're going to continue this pursuit of getting the truth. stonewalling congress is not an answer, and that has consequences. >> reporter: meanwhile the trump legal team continues to argue against the release of the former president's white house records to the committee. today filing a legal brief in their appeal of a lower cou

bennie thompson to say the committee was, quote, willing to take strong measures to hold him accountable. the committee is already pursuing criminal contempt charges against former trump advisor stevel to even show up for a deposition. this is coming as a new book from georgia's republican secretary of state, brad raffensperger, reveals new details about the now infamous phone call where he defied pressure from then president trump to find votes to overturn the 2020 election. >> look, all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is 1 more than we have. because we won the state. >> raffensperger writes that, i felt then and still believe today that this was a threat. others obviously thought so too because some of trump's more radical followers have responded as if it was their duty to carry out this threat. and georgia's secretary of state, brad raffensperger, is joining me now. he is the author of the new book, "integrity counts." secretary raffensperger, thanks for joining us on this. we appreciate it. what are the dangers of former president trump not being held accountable for his actions after the 2020 election? >> i think right now america is at a crossro

representative bennie thompson, says he rejects clark's claim of privilege and he suggested that contempt is an option on the table. now, of course, the committee recently referred longtime trump aide stevehe justice department for criminal contempt after he refused to cooperate. now, clark was supposed to appear last week but that was delayed when he parted ways with his lawyer. today, he was jointed by a new lawyer, harry mcdougal, atlanta based. now, erin, despite all the difficulty, they appear to be having getting some of these top-trump aides to cooperate, we are told the committee has prepared roughly 20 additional subpoenas that could go out as soon as next week. >> all right. paula, thank you very much. >>> and as paula's reporting here, we are awaiting a judge's decision over whether the committee will get access to trump's white house documents, right? that they have asked for thousands of pages, these include records of trump's movements, notes from people who were with him that day and days prior. and according to the national archives, a quote draft proclamation honoring capitol police and deceased officers brian sicknick and howard liebengood. outfront now, sandra garza. s

chairman thompson says if mark meadows doesn't show up that, could be contempt of congress. 21 days of merrick garland not doing about the contempt of congress referral delivered to him for stevenon. >> the day we stop doing that, is the day that witnesses like mark meadows will defy our ability goat to the truth. now i think the facts and the law when they meet will determine that bannon should be held in contempt and everyone like bannon, including meadows, should be held in contempt. once that, you know, indictment comes, and i believe it should come, hopefully, others who are holding out and waiting will start coming in. but the select committee has interviewed over 100 witnesses. i know it's frustrating it's not done in public view. as you know, as neal knows, as a prosecutor you want to run an outside-in, bottom-up investigation as in the first impeachment and then highlight the witnesses for the public once you know what they are going to say. but that includes having the documents to confront the witnesses. we were flying in the blind in the first impeachment. we still did a great job, i believe. but now knowing that we don't have the precious of time as can he we did

steve bannon to quickly refer him for a contempt of congress when he defied their subpoena request. it's been a much more deliberative process. and the chairman of the january 6th select committee bennie thompsong the committee is not officially decided they are ready to move to criminal contempt against meadows but he has signed a letter that they will send to meadows outlining all the things they expect of him and if he does not comply that they are ready to take that next step. the meadows situation is a little more complicated than bannon. bannon was not working in the white house or directly for donald trump at the time of the january 6th insurrection. meadows was in direct contact with the president in the executive branch. he believes that puts him under a special banner of executive privilege. the committee does not feel that way. i just talked to jamie raskin who is a member of the committee who said that because the current occupant of the white house, joe biden, has said that there are not executive privilege protections for the former president and his associates, that, therefore, meadows needs to comply with the committee and at least needs to show up and answer that subpoena. wha

steve bannon here. um, so tell me about what you know and why they could be so significant. >> reporter: yeah, you know, erin, i talked to the chairman of the select committee, bennie thompsoneek and asked him specifically about their engagement with pence aides and he said it was a mixed bag. there were some that were willing to talk to them on some level and others they were having a difficult time with and that was reflected in the subpoena of keith kellogg which we saw yesterday, who is of course pence's former national security adviser who was actually thought to be a little more close with the former-president donald trump than he is with mike pence, which might be part of his reluctance. but what committee members have been telling me about this engagement is that they want to know, specifically, what these pence aides know not only about what happened to pence on that day. just how serious the threat was against him and what security protocols were put in place to protect him. but also, about the pressure campaign that was put on him in the weeks after the november election leading up to january 6th. of course, as you know, erin, there was an intense campaign -- the

thompson is threatening to seek criminal contempt charges against meadows if he fails to cooperate. and while the committee and full house of representatives has already made good on a similar threat against steve bannon, it's still not clear if the justice department will pursue criminal charges against the trump confidant. at the same time, the committee's attempts to obtain white house records regarding what was happening on the other side of pennsylvania avenue as the attack unfolded at the capitol are on hold for now. an appeals court granted former president trump's request to temporarily block the national archives from handing over the records. arguments in that case are set for november 30th. regardless of what the documents or any witnesses tell the committee, the former president has already made clear his opinion on january 6th, releasing statements that claim the real insurrection happened on election day. and a newly released audio from an interview with jonathan karl in march, former president trump defends the protesters who were calling that day for vice president mike pence to be hanged. take a listen. >> were you worried about him during that siege? >> no. i thought it was we

today that worries announced that thompson and james wiseman will join the g league team in santa cruz. to begin the process of getting back into game shape. steve kerr , probably the only person except play himself able to relate to what all the all star forward has been feeling. you know he can't help but stop and
