temperatures bake the continent. i m laura coates. pamela brown has the day off, and you are here in the cnn newsroom. tonight two new developments that could directly impact the january 6th select committee investigation. and this just days before what could be the final public hearing this coming thursday. secret service says it will respond quickly subpoena it just got from the committee over deleted text messages from january 6th and january 5th. secret service is saying it was part of a device replacement program and nothing malicious in any way. however, the dhs inspector general claims something a little different. that the messages were erased after it asked for them. the service says by the time the first request came in, the phone migration was already under way. meanwhile we re learning about another new possible dimension to the probe.
times. talk about the significance of this? i think it s really significant. it started off apparently as it was a software upgrade, this is why the text messages on the phone have disappeared, and later it was a device replacement program. the fact that they cannot get their stories straight, on something so significant, these are texts, the day of january five, january 6th. the most tumultuous days, close to the insurrection. and the secret service now, would have described security planning. how they wanted to move trump, on january six, how they want to move pence on january six, and the fact that they do not have an explanation, that makes sense, is very worrying, both for the investigation, and members of the community, who think this is very wrong how all of this has turned out. thursday s primetime hearing will focus, i said at the top of the, show it will focus on trump, during the insurrection. what he did, and what he did not do. we all watched it, in living color, in
