committee member jamie raskin said that s the moment that trump became the first president in american history to call for a protest against the peaceful transfer of power. we expect the committee to try to link this to extremist groups mobilizing around january 6. also, the committee has suggested they will probe possible links between trump s circle and some of the extremist groups. one of the witnesses today, stephen ayres, a convicted rioter. also a former spokes keeper for the oath keeper will join us. joining us now elie honig. your gravitational force is pulling us over here. we re talking about what the committee wants to do today. the tweet from donald trump why that inspired them to mobilize around january 6. and why is that important? yeah, john, the committee is going to make the point that the one and only reason that the mob descended around the capitol, liz cheney wrote, president trump assembled the mob. we re going to hear about the december 18th meeting
