now. i will let other see you. it has been one of those days. this is don lemon tonight, by this time tomorrow, we expect to know a whole lot more about what happened behind closed doors at the white house on january six. we know that because we have a couple people speaking to us, but i digress. i will get into that. new tonight is the committees outtakes at then president s message to his supporters the day after the riot at the capitol, showing him having trouble getting to the message, refusing to say the election was settled and attempting to call the rioters patriots. tonight, my colleague anderson cooper got congressman jamie raskin to tell him more about well takes the committee has. in just moments, committee member adam schiff reveals that you will hear people urging the ex president to say things to try to get the attackers to get home, things that he cannot be
prevailed upon to do or say. that as one day after the secret service turn by precisely one text exchange to a government watchdog, who had requested a month s worth of records from 24 secret service personnel. the january six committee expresses what they call concerns about how the secret service handled that cell phone data. benny thompson and liz cheney upping the ante saying, quote, the procedure for preserving context prior to the purge appears to have been contrary to federal records retention requirements and may represent a possible violation of the federal records act. going on to say that the committee is seeking additional secret service records as well stay tuned for that. the secret service responded to the committee saying that it will provide the highest level of cooperation and support. as the investigation continues, here is what may be the scariest part in all this.
i think they are going to have to put a question mark on their model, don t. all of the shifting explanations about all of this, what happened, the committee, they need to talk to all of these agents, david? yeah. the big issue is, where they tried to get vice president pence out of the congress? we are trying to whisk him away so that he can go back and complete the vote? i mean, that is the big issue here in terms of the january 6th committee. if they can show that, in fact, trump had gotten secret service in their, to try and get pence out so that they could stop that vote, which was the whole point of the violence in the first instance, that would be huge. so, that is what i think is the major motive behind destroying these text messages. maybe he just said. but i want to ask you, what is the worst thing that they could find if they find these text messages? what would be the worst thing to find? who would be who are they communicating with, is there certain person?
