through this process that they will schedule hearings should the investigation warrant. the investigation goes on and we have some anticipation that we were closer to the investigation right now. but the fact is, witnesses continue to come forward. so we are reserving the right to do more hearings as these but nurses come forward, and i think hopefully we will have a lot of work remaining to do. one of those witnesses s patrick burn, the former ceo of overstocked.com. he testified before the committee earlier today after his name come up at tuesday s hearing. witnesses for the committee testified that he was at an unhinged oval office meeting in december 2020, along with rudy giuliani, sydney powell and michael flynn. what is a former furniture ceo have to do with january 6th. here s what former white house counsel pat cipollone told the committee on tuesday.

the investigation warrant. we are far from wrapping up our work. the investigation goes on and we have some anticipation that we we re closer to the and of the investigation right now. but the fact is, witnesses continue to come forward. so, we are reserving the right to do more hearings as these witnesses come forward, and i think hopefully we will have a lot of work remaining to do. one of those witnesses is patrick byrne, the former ceo of overstocked. com. he testified before the committee earlier today after his name come up at tuesday s hearing. witnesses for the committee testified that he was at an unhinged oval office meeting in december 2020, along with rudy giuliani, sydney powell and michael flynn. what is a former furniture ceo have to do with january 6th. here s what former white house counsel pat cipollone told the committee on tuesday. i opened the door and i walked in and i saw general flynn and i saw sydney powell sitting there. i was not happy to see

that s not true when you get out of the county into georgia s appellate courts. so, this could get bogged down, she could even potentially suffer a lawsuit it would. be a very finally tuned decision for her to make about whether she would get some benefit from going through the process with trump. harry, i m going to get you on something about the secret service. congressman jamie raskin said today that the committee intends to get to the bottom of those deleted secret service text messages from january 5th and january 6th. do you buy the agencies explanation that this was simply part of a planned technology upgrade? look, who knows, and especially this upgrade occurred after they were already notified to do it. it certainly has an odor about it, right? normally, you might give agencies the benefit of the doubt. but in trump era, how can you? the head of the detail here is
