Clear between trumps words and the actions on january 6th will be what the focus of the january 6th committee will be as the hearings approach. >> all right. you know, were also getting a clearer picture of one of the strategies used to try to keep former president donald trump in office. a group of more than two dozen trump loyalists planned to cast georgia electoral votes for trump, despite president bidens win in the state. a new email obtained by the "washington post" showed the trump staffe...

Donald trump, but to meet in secret, so this staffer, his name is robert sinners, he wrote in this email to the georgia electors on december 13th, i must ask for your complete discretion, your duties are imperative to ensure the end result, a win in georgia for president trump, but will be hampered unless we have complete secrecy and discretion. so ultimately, when that meeting occurred, when the electors met the next day, there were local news cameras there to capture it, so it didnt take place...

Marshall cohen noted they interviewed about 500 people in a two-year people. this committee has interviewed over 1000 people in a one-year period. they have to tell it in a way that captures attention based on interviews. thats the challenge ahead of them for the hearings. >> and one of the facts, again, the justice department investigation, a fulton county investigation related to georgia and the trump efforts to steal the georgia elections. we know new e mills in that investigation that the co...
