investigation has revealed evidence that mr. cipollone repeatedly raised other and legal concerns about president trump s activities of january 6th and while the select committee appreciates mr. cipollone s earlier informal engagement with our investigation, with the ball now squarely in cipollone s quote the new york times is out with some important reporting, quote, the subpoena of a white house counsel a rare step for a congressional committee sent a clear signal of the aggressive tactics the panel is willing to use to force the cooperation of the white house top lawyer who could likely invoke attorney-client privilege in response to many questions. the committee has at times used the leverage of a subpoena or the leverage it creates to force witnesses to negotiate a deal for their cooperation. discussions about the scope of a possible appearance are expected to begin soon. lawyer familiar with cipollone s deliberations who was not authorized to speak on the record said th
good to see you again. i m yasmin vossoughian. we ve got a lot to get to the sour. we have the cdc voting to recommend the covid vaccine for children under the age of five. if that means millions of kids now eligible to be vaccinated. then we ve got explicit testimony from the january 6th hearings this week. we have that special all last hour. highlighting the danger that the vice president was in. also startling information that ginni thomas s role in trying to overturn the 2020 election is in fact bigger than previously thought. the question now is, will she testify? and the former president, accusing the january 6th committee of selective, calling the committees evidence a complete and total lie, during a rambling 19 minutes at a conservative conference last night. and continuing to attack his former vice president. the election was perfect. and the democrats are sitting back, saying no where we re gonna impeach this guy. no. it s terrible. but mike was afraid of wha
talk to us about this new development as it relates to the january 6th committee and this intent to respond to this doj request for transcripts. it was something the department of justice had to ask for twice to this point. yeah, had to ask for twice. and you saw in the letter that came yesterday, as hearings were ongoing, that the justice department said that by not having this, it could also be hampering some of the investigations that they are already ongoing with. that s something that i posed to chairman bennie thompson yesterday after the hearings were over. he said, basically, it wasn t a question of if they were going to comply, but went. although, now, we do have a better sense that that compliance is happening. i can throw up for you on the screen there a statement from a committee spokesperson who says, the select committee is engaged in a cooperative process to address the needs of the department of justice. they re not inclined to share the details of that publ
more than a thousand witness interviews including those with leaders from the proud boys from the doj s letter in part, read this, it is now readily apparent that the interviews the select committee conducted are not just potentially relevant to our overall criminal investigations, but are likely relevant to specific prosecutions that have already commenced. well, the news that we alluded to this afternoon, a spokesman confirmed an earlier new york times scoop to our team on the hill that the committee will cooperate with the doj. what that could mean and how that partnership could play out, we will have more on that in just a few moments, but first, one of this week s central questions was whether or not the committee would eventually vote on referring trump to the department of justice for a potential criminal case. watching yesterday s explosive hearing, politico suggests this, the committee is making that referral in its own way presenting evidence in a clear chronology t
Seeking rapid eu membership. But could regional instability and outside meddling thwart his ambition . President jakov milatovic, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me.
