going down. one of the reporters who broke that story joins me live, and it was a rough day for a couple of other trump royal figures. trying to stay out of court. why is the senator of south carolina calling the secretary of georgia anyway? all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. we finally got to hear from donald trump s white house counsel, pat cipollone. on friday, you might remember, he spoke to the january 6th committee behind closed doors for hours. and then at yesterday s hearing, the committee revealed several clips of his videotaped interviews. we are going to play some of that shortly. cipollone s testimony, as far as we can tell, conformed with the broader picture that we have now gathered for many witnesses. donald trump was dead set on staying in office, against the will of the american people, by any means necessary. cipollone was among those in trump s orbit that resisted those efforts in the final days of trump s term in offi
we finally got to hear from donald trump s white house counsel, pat cipollone. on friday, you might remember, he spoke to the january 6th committee behind closed doors for hours. and then at yesterday s hearing, the committee revealed several clips of his videotaped interviews. we are going to play some of that shortly. cipollone s testimony, as far as we can tell, conformed with the broader picture that we have now gathered for many witnesses. donald trump was dead set on staying in office, against the will of the american people, by any means necessary. cipollone was among those in trump s orbit that resisted those efforts in the final days of trump s term in office. now, just ate the obvious, it is a very good thing that people like pat cipollone, and bill barr, and others around donald trump resisted his attempted coup. part of the story that they are telling about how the insurrection came to be, is, i think, wildly misleading. and actually, i have to say, kind of it ran
for congressional seats in new york . and we are going to have n 11 of new york s twenty six members as republicans com come januaryn and that is historic.k in my dit and i think in my district, especially, you know, seanu knoe pat cipollone as chair of the triple s. sent a memo to state democrats back in january of this year demanding that they gerrymander new york s congressional maps and knock republicans downe seats. th three seats. well, they did it and then the courts intervened. a democratned. appointed court of appeals threw out the maps, called it gerrymandered and unconstitutional and appointed a special master. and we gotuncons a fair map.whee and when i looked at the map, mw i could win th i knew i could win the seat.m th 42% of it is rockland county. m born and raised. where i m born and raised. e my i ve lived my entire life. my family has been here over a hundred years. we won rochlin by 10 points. and that s why defeated sean why pat cipollone yesterday. it s just we
at the elections. pretty got down consisted. from 2015 to 2016, to 2020. donald trump gets around the country, he wins, forever, in every election, because either he wins against more votes, or he doesn t, and get stays in power anyways because it s rigged. it was obvious to anyone with a brain sale paying attention over the past several years. pat. time and time again, trump said out loud. publicly. on national television. and just because some people, like pat cipollone, who again, defended the president, works for the president, help them get his agenda done, just because pat saponi lied to himself, and collaborated with this monstrous sociopath who almost ended american democracy, does it mean it was a hard thing to see. that does not mean it was a bad advice that resulted in donald trump almost leading in person, a fascist coup, to sack the
pat cipollone yesterday, when he derives the ragtag group of coup plotters, who made their way to the white house for an unscheduled meeting in the residence in december of 2020. i opened the door, and i walked in, i saw general flynn, sydney powell sitting there. i was not happy to see the people who are in the oval office. explain why. well, again, i don t think they were providing well, first of all, the overstock person, i ve never met, i never knew who this guy was. actually, the first thing i did, i walked in, i looked at him, and i said, who are you? he told me. i don t think any of these people were providing the president with good advice. cipollone was equally scornful about the pro coup teams plan, to have the federal government seize voting machines. it s a terrible idea. that s not how we do things in the united states, there s no
