they knew there were armed people at the ellipse. t into that but were stopped by the d.c. police. how does that happen? >> the secret service is in the habit of planning for a number of different contingencies. if there was a thought of a possibility of taking the president to the u.s. capitol, i would expect the secret service to have at least mapped it out as deeply unwise as it would have been at the time. it doesn't surprise me that there was some plan to do that in the event they got orders to do that. it would appear from the evidence that they basically overruled the president on that. >> let me ask you about cassidy hutchinson. she said under oath and testimony that donald trump was trying to force the secret service to take him there. is this new reporting by "the times" confirm that? does it give you more confidence in what she was saying? >> i'm not sure, to be honest. i mean, it wouldn't surprise me he wanted to go to the capitol. the report about him becoming very physical in the vehicle, that, according to hutchinson, t

the people at the ellipse said they are moving to the capitol after the potus speech. as the documents we received make clear, secret service was aware of weapons possessed by those gathered at rallies in d.c. as early as the evening before. take this document, for instance, which details multiple arrests in the crowds demonstrating on january 5th. those arrests were for weapons offenses, handguns, high capacity feeding devices, ammunition. what the secret service saw on the 6th was entirely consistent with the violent rhetoric circulating in the days before the joint session on pro trump websites. at times amplified by the president's own advisors. on one of these sites, as you have heard, one of those was called thedonald.win. and jason miller, senior communications advisor sent to mark meadows less than a week before january 6th. i got the base fired up, he wrote, in all caps. he sent a link to this page on the donald.win. comments about the joint session of congress on january 6th. take a look at some of those comments. gallows don't require electricity. if the fil

but despite awareness for potential for violence and weapons among the crowd, the ellipse event, nevertheless, went forward and donald trump instructed the angry crowd, some of who were armed, to march to the capitol. as my colleague mr. schiff just described, the secret service reported that thousands in the crowd near the washington monument would not enter the rally area because magnetometers used in screening attendees wouldn't detect any prohibited items they carried. mr. trump knew this. his secret service had told them about it this morning. even in spite of these warnings, cassidy hutchinson overheard the president say this shortly before he took stage. >> he wanted it fall. was angry that we were letting and he people through with weapons in the conversation where i overheard the president say something to the effect of, " i think that they have weapons, they are not here to hurt me, take it away. let my people in, they can march to the capitol from here, take the f-ing mags away." >> when he went on stage president trump led his supporters in the rally site. pres. trump: i would lov

they can march from the ellipse. take the effing mags away. and then they can march to the capitol. >> the washington post reports that the new video footage, and internal secret service emails will coroborate that fairly explosive testimony. they also reveal, and this is key, other internal emails likely to reveal that the hearing further buttressed accounts about staff members warning trump about the risk, and then the reality of violence that day, as he continued to press nervous secret service agents to take him to the capitol to join his supporters marching there. the three people said that. those emails will reportedly show that secret service agents trying to frantically secure trump a path to go to the capitol with his supporters, only to be rebuffed by d. c. police. in other words, he knew his supporters were armed, he wanted them to let them keep those weapons, and he wanted them to personally urge to keep marching to the capital. that's not all we are expected to hear about tomorrow. post reports that some of the secret service emai

the present had the door to the rose garden open and you could hear the crowd on the ellipse already ding off that energy and that he was really excited for the next day. >> the president was making thi and talking to them about we should go up to the capitol was the best route to go to the capitol. the january 6 committee's presentation of testimony and segmentation left no doubt that trump had every intention of joining his supporters' march the capitol.

we had a situation in the morning where we were about to leave for the ellipse where trump was going ive a speech. roger was scheduled to speak himself. but was canceled from the list at the very last moment. he became upset. and decided to return to his hotel suite and watch the speech from there. and that was a back and forth discussion where some of the other people in the group when we got up to the room again said to roger that he should calm down and he was still relevant and roger then said out into the open, just you wait and see what i've got coming. and so there was a very -- there was a tense atmosphere and an expectation something would happen. >> and needless to say, something very, very big, very bad happened. thank you, christopher guldbrandsen. >> up next, while today's hearing detailed events in the past, it could not be more relevant for the future of our democracy. we'll be right back. the power the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. announcer: ozempic® provides powerful a1c reduction. in studies, the majorit

the secret service was riding its security precautions for the presidents speech at the ellipse. a secret service deputy chief instructed agents to add certain objects to the list of items that would be prohibited at the rally site. including ballistic vests, tactical vest, armored or not, and ballistic helmets -- by the morning of january six, it was clear that the secret service anticipated violence. >> and maybe the scariest part of the day, the hearing also revealed what took place out after the house speaker was rushed out of the house floor, to a secure location, as trump supporters stormed the capitol. the committee presented never before seen documentary video, showing nancy pelosi, and other leaders, pleading for help from the military and law enforcement. [inaudible] secretary of d. o. d.. we have senator still in the hideaways. i need massive personnel now. can we get -- national guard to come to? >> i have something to say mister secretary -- i'm gonna call the mayor of washington, d. c., right now, and see what other outreach he has. >> oh my gosh. >> they are just --

let's start this hour with the guns. >> on the morning of the 6th, the t secret service was at the ellipserowd as they enter the rally site. tens of thousands of people werd outside the rally site but did not want to go through the magnetometers, the metal detectors used to screen for dangerous weapons. since our last hearings, the select committee received greater cooperation from the secret service n this report received on december 26th, field office relaid a tip that had been received by the fbi. according to the source of the tip, the proud boys planned to march armed into d.c. they think that they will have a large enough group w to march io d.c. armed, the source reported, and will outnumber the police so they can't be stopped. the source went on to say their plan is to literally kill people. please, please take this tip seriously and investigate further. the secret service could also see that many rally goers were assembled outside the security perimeter. one act e-mailed possibly because p they have stuff that couldn't come through? would probably be an issue with this crowd. just

despite awareness of the potential for violence, the ellipse event went forward and donald trump instructed the angry crowd some of whom were armed to march to the capitol. the secret service reported that thousands in the crowd near the washington monument would not enter area because magnetometers used in screening attendees would detect any prohibited items they carry. mr. trump knew this. the secret service told him about it that morning. even in spite of these warnings, cassidy hutchinson overheard the president say this shortly before he took the stage. >> he wanted it full and he was angry we were not letting people through the mags with weapons. i was in the vicinity of a conversation where i overheard the president say something to the effect of i don't care they have weapons, they aren't here to hurt me, take the f'ing mags away, let the people in. >> when he went on stage, president trump himself asked law enforcement let his supporters in the rally site. >> i would love to have those tens of thousands of people would be allowed the military the secret service we want to thank yo

was no one had advance information that the president of the united states was going come out on the ellipseto thousands of people you have to go down to the capitol and we're going to fight like hell to save the country. that was probably the x factor that nobody saw coming. the capitol police issued an intelligence report that pretty much laid out the propensity for violence, the fact that congress, not counter protesters this time, was going to be the target. the fact that they asked for permission to call in the national guard at the capitol police and that that got the run around in the capitol police board and was never approved until the capitol was under siege was another thing that i think we're all going to look at and say maybe that could have been done better. >> yes. certainly could have been done better. that is an understatement. jon miller, thank you so much. and i know you meant it that way. >> thanks. >>> members of the k pop band bts are military bound. we'll have the details ahead. ♪ i've been meaning to ask you, cacarl. does your firm offer personalized index investing?

it's a defense of the size of the crowd on the ellipse in the minutes before the riot at the capitol. it's a repetition of his totally debunked claims about election fraud. in short, it's the big lie over and over. it's trump not giving an inch. he has not changed despite the revelations and, frankly, effectiveness of the january 6. trump is not changing his story one bit. which is not a surprise. but certainly comes as a dismay to some republicans who are in the stretch run of the campaign. this is last thing they want to talk about. >> david jolly, i want to play more of the footage -- new footage we saw last night. these highlight mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy with democratic leaders as all of this was unfolding. >> this cannot be just, we are waiting. we need them there now. whoever you got. >> pretend for a moment it was the pentagon or the white house or some other entity that was under siege. logistically get people there. you have some leadership of the national guard there. they have not been given authority to activate. >> david, that's a great illustration of what was

the route is only a route if you plan to travel from the ellipse to the u.s. capitol. the only way you have a route. this is congressman agular talking about the efforts on january 6, after the violence had commenced, to deal with one of the protectees, donald trump. this is number 15. >> as soon as the president left his motorcade, leadership contacted bobby engel for the presidential detail and warned him they were, quote, concerned about an otr, an off the record movement, to the capitol. the people sworn to protect the safety of the president of the united states and who routinely put themselves in harm's way were convinced it was a bad idea. documents reveal how agents were poised to take president trump to the capitol later that afternoon. agents were instructed to don their protective gear and prepare for a movement, a few minutes later, they were told the president would leave for the capitol in two hours. it wasn't until 1:55 p.m. that the president's lead secret service at told them to stand down. we are not doing an otr to the capitol. rioters had breached t

reporting that more than 30 minutes before president trump took the stage at the ellipse. regardless, the rally went on. even though people had weapons. even -- we know these rioters were angry, inside by months of trump's and his allies lies about a stolen election. and in evidence presented today, we saw the trump campaign aide jason miller bragged to then white house chief of staff mark meadows that he, quote, got the base fired up on, and quote. miller included a link to a pro trump website underneath which people had post comments about their plans for january 6th. comments like these. >> galas don't require electricity. if the filthy call me maggots try to push their fraud through, there will be hacked to pay. our lawmakers in congress can leave one of two ways. one, in a body bag. two, after rightfully certifying trump the winner. >> jason miller told the committee that he did not realize those comments were on the link that he sent meadows. but even if that is true, if, i find it impossible to imagine that anybody who worked for trump by january 6th, 2021, wasn't a

likely had weapons, reporting that more than 30 minutes before president trump took the stage at the ellipse. but we guardless, the rally went on, even though people had weapons. we know these rioters were angry, incited by months of trump and his allies' lies about a stolen election. and we saw jason miller bragged to then-white house chief of staff mark meadows that he, quote, got the base fired up, unquote. miller included a link to a pro-trump website, underneath which individuals had posted comments about their plans for january 6th, comments like these. >> gallows don't require electricity. if the filthy maggots try to push their fraud through, there will be hell to pay. our lawmakers in congress can leave one of two ways, one in a body bag. two, after rightfully certifying trump the winner. >> jason miller told the committee he did not realize those comments were on the link that he sent meadows. but even if that's true -- if -- i find it impossible to imagine that anyone who worked for trump by january 6, 2021, was unaware of the potential for violence, especially among a base that w

car when he allegedly ordered secret service agents to take him to the capitol after his rally on the ellipserict of columbia has also released an update on its investigation into the capitol attack. the report which was released yesterday estimates the total damages from the attack come to more than $2 million. that amount reflects among other things damage to the capitol building grounds and includes costs borne by the capitol police. according to the report, more than 880 defendants have been arrested so far, while roughly 400 individuals have pleaded guilty to a variety of federal charges. the report also reveals that around 140 police officers were assaulted that day, including about 80 members of the capitol police. joining us now, congressional reporter at politico nicholas wu. nicholas, great to see you as always this morning. you've got new reporting on the fact that democrats and republicans haven't used trump's current legal drama. and where to begin, with how much his legal drama is, in d.c., georgia and mar-a-lago documents, but we're not seeing any of that in ads leading up to t

it in his residence and at the same time invite armed insurrectionists into the capitol through the ellipse with no metal detectors, you know, those things have to resonate with people for them to really feel that trump is a threat. we'll see whether they make their case. >> yes, we will. michael zeldin, nice to see you. thanks for getting up early with us. >> my pleasure. >>> stay with cnn for live coverage of the january 6th hearings. attack on democracy, the january 6th hearings today live at noon eastern. >>> a member of the oath keepers testified that the far right group stored more weapons outside of washington, d.c., than he had seen since his days in the military. on wednesday terry cummings told members he traveled to contribute to a quick reaction force. cummings is not charged with a crime. five other members of the oath keepers have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to use force to oppose the lawful transfer of power. >>> a texas family of five. the mun family climbed through a broken window before entering a senate conference room. the two parents received 14 days of jail time.

weapons firearms, but you have intelligence -- real-time intelligence of individuals that were on the ellipse, they were just outside the security perimeter that had firearms, ar-15 rifles, and you allowed this event to go on. not just placing the president of the united states in danger, but placing all of the other law enforcement agencies that were out there, you know, securing that area. >> and as you know, the secret service has responded. it has said it did share intelligence that it executed its mission. clearly you do not see it that way and a lot of others don't see it that way either, including members of the january 6th committee. we're going to be speaking with one later on in the show. i want to talk to you about your book, michael. you say the trauma of that day led four police officers to take their own lives and you write this, i began to experience very dark thoughts, like anyone, i had been depressed at various moments in my life, but i had always been able to think of my girls, a reason to live and i would snap out of it. this time, though, i couldn't shake the despair. i c

. >> and his response is they could march to the capitol from the ellipse? to the effect of if -- they're here. let them in, let my people in. they can march to the capitol off the rally is over. >> there is also a very important breaking news tonight in the mar-a-lago documents investigation. according to news from the washington post, a trump employee had initially denied him leaked sensitive documents. but that story changed. he changed his tune after new evidence surfaced. and the witness told the fbi about moving the boxes at mar-a-lago on the former presidents orders. the post said that happen after trump advisers received a subpoena back in may, and there is security camera footage of those very boxes being moved. i told you there's a lot to cover tonight. so let's get smarter with our lead off panel. caroline is here in the flesh, pulitzer prize investigative reporter with the washington post. hugo lowell joins us as, well congressional reporter for the guardian, and andrew weissmann, former fbi general counsel and former senior member of the mueller

he said, it was indeed one of the largest crowds i've ever spoken before in the ellipse, a very wide ath, stretching all the way back to the washington moniment. the massive side of this crowd has never been a subject of your committee. is it true they have never investigated the size of the january 6th crowd. you know, it's sort of i guess not shocking that he came into office talking about his crowd sizes and he's still complaining about his crowd sizes. >> he would like the 2022 election to continue to be about him, which of course republicans would like it not to be about him. and i think the only thing that is helping republicans right now is that, while he is still trying to put himself in the center of the conversation, he's really not. and this is in the background. i think the january 6th, especially what happened this week didn't generate the kind of headlines and the kind of wall-to-wall coverage -- >> subpoena wasn't enough? >> i think voters expect, of course, he's going to be subpoenaed. if they said we believe he should be indicted, we know the real issue is until there

testimony that donald trump was told that people were armed at his speech on the ellipse on january 6committee says they have now information since the last hearing in the summer. we'll soon see what that is. >> there is also new reporting this morning in the mar-a-lago documents case. a source telling cnn that donald trump personally directed an employee to move boxes at mar-a-lago after trump received a subpoena for classified documents. it's a revelation that raises more questions about possible obstruction. >> right to the cnn center on capitol hill. the hearing today, the final one before the midterm. what is expected? >> look, this is an opportunity for this committee to sort of drive home the point they still believe that donald trump is a clear and present danger to democracy. they're not going to have live witnesses. we're not expecting that. we know they have video. we may see witness testimony either from previous witnesses but new clips or some testimony from new witnesses. and, of course, there is just no shortage of examples of the former president still pushing the lie

know they also are representing women for america first, that group that was behind the rally of the ellipse on january 6th and acknowledged working with the justice department or receiving a subpoena with the justice department as well. this is another person added to the constellation of lawyers around the former president right now. thank you. >> thank you very much. >>> scott jennings is a former assist ant to george w. bush. natasha crawford. welcome to all. we have a lot to get to. let's start with you, natasha because you're right here with me. and president biden asked about these big rallies, why he's not having them. we're seeing the first lady there in florida, former president obama, president trump as well. his answer is, yeah. i'll get there. why aren't we seeing it? >> i think the president has to play the best hand he has right now, and that role is to be a team player. we know that he has historically low approval ratings. no matter when he's done, and so i think that he's able to emphasize the larger policy wins, you know, infrastructure, things that are not controversial.
