closest advisers. secret service was omnipresent, full stop. those text were and by the agents but a city in the rooms where it happened could be the key to the investigation, as testimony, of course, presents themselves as well. giving evidence about the coronation of trump s plans leading up to and on the day of the riot, but who spoke to the president that day, who also was in the room as things were happening, and what the president may have told them. maybe communications about what exactly was happening inside the white house over those nearly 187 minutes, well over three hours, filling in the gaps, gap soon when donald trump told supporters to go to the capitol and when he tweeted a video to the rioters telling them that he loved them and to go home. we know that is the very focus of thursday s primetime hearing. we have someone tonight who knows the people who were in the white house with then president trump during those three hours. he knows them quite well. trump s
weeks ago, i doubt seriously that any top tier republicans, pence, pompeo, tim scott, desantis, we re considering running for president. i think now many of them are our. even nikki haley suggested she might run. i think that something that s changed over the course of the last 6 to 8 weeks, and it s changed because of the committee. so i think they were out to sort of get him, from in jail, i certainly don t think that s gonna happen based on the evidence we ve seen now. but if they wanted to damage him to the point where he might not win or might not ron, i think that may be the result of these hearings. to paraphrase, great taste, last feeling. more policies, less drama would be the way to. go mick mulvaney, thanks. much thanks, laura. critics of these hearings say they re a waste of time with nothing new to show. but i have someone here who served on legal teams and both impeachment teams against trump,
justice department to indict trump? you heard mick mulvaney say why his expectations were or were not. i mean, admittedly, it is an unprecedented prospect, and idea that would normally be unheard of. again, when it comes to what we have seen over the past, i don t know, 68 years, it has been quite unprecedented. donald trump often entered uncharted waters. he was the first u.s. president to be impeached not once but twice and the first president to, well, insight, as they say, an attack on the u. s. capital. let s get perspective from barry berke, the chief counsel from trump s second impeachment trial, that was a result of january six. barry, good to see you here. i am curious about your perspective, in particular, because of the fact that some have been really critical of the hearings other committee, in general. they view it as a failed attempt that impeachment. number two, now it is the new avenue to do this. i m curious about what your take has been about with the committee has be
including the national archives, definitely want answered. so how does mick mulvaney see it? here s the rest of our interview. we re learning a lot about the idea that secret service text messages i ve seem to have gone proof in the night. but not able to retrieve certain texts from january 5th and sixth. there was supposed to be some sort of a date on migration secret service to upload to some sort of internal server. that did not happen. we re learning more and more about it. what do you make of the fact that we re not gonna be seeing text messages that seem to have gone away from those dates in particular? i m not quick to ascribe guilt or at least underhanded-ness here. secret service is a bureaucracy like any bureaucracy, and they make mistakes like this. this happens all the time, unfortunately, and the federal government, and i do happen have to to know i had a secret service detail for a year and a half. some of the highest integrity people i know are attracted to that
all 16 of the fake electors in georgia who are part of the plan to overturn the 2020 election on behalf of donald trump are now targets in a criminal investigation tonight. the fulton county georgia prosecutors looking into does this mean they re closer to deciding on criminal charges? as the probe drawing any closer to donald trump himself? back with me now, doug jones, shan wu, and doug heye. you think about the ways in which georgia, pretty unique in terms of all the sort of states that have had discussions around the lies, around the election. georgia didn t seem to be buying it when it came to, obviously, purdue versus kemp. kemp did not have that angle. is this an example of that being the trump fatigue that mick mulvaney was talking about? the idea of look, he sort of cleared the way for others because they aren t buying it anymore. they don t to deal with it. we see when donald trump goes all in, it guarantees him about a third of the vote. the rest of it is up to those c
