has no plans to endorse haley. in fact, tonight before his speech in new hampshire, he was overheard by reporters on a mike doubting her chances, saying "she is not up to this." norah? >> norah: we will stay tuned come ed o'keefe, thank you, and i will join ed and our cbs news team in iowa as a cbs news will have full coverage of the iowa caucuses, encoding special live coverage on monday. it is very cold in iowa. you can find us right here at cbs, the cbs news streaming app, and at news.com. back here in washington, there are few genuine surprises at the u.s. capital, but there was a big one today. house republicans were thrown for a loop when hunter biden appeared at a hearing called to hold him in contempt of congress. cbs's scott macfarlane was there, as the meeting descended into chaos. >> do you plan on testifying today, sir? >> reporter: the president's son walked into the house committee room telling cbs news he was willing to take a seat at the witness table.
video tape depositions and interviews and weaving it into the hearing. i think while there may just be two people sitting live at the witness table, we're going to hear from a lot of people who worked in the white house for donald trump. and i think it's going to be very compelling. the two witnesses are extremely credible. i led the staff interviews of both of them, and i can tell you they came across as sincere and credible. so, i think they're going to be powerful. but we're going to hear from others. i expect to hear from people like pat cipollone and people close to donald trump. >> i wonder in those moments where you were having the initial witnesses and interviews, were there moments you had the jaw drop and the aha moments and have we seen those moments playing out already? is there more in reserve? >> every hearing so far has had more information, and i think the same is going to be true of this next one. i don't know if there's going to be anything that's going to quite match what we heard from cassidy hutchinson. that was really jaw dropping. that's setting the bar really high. i think we're going to learn new
also, john wood. equally great hair, by the way. >> you don't have to say that. >> senior investigator to the house select committee. he's now running for u.s. senate is now running in this. eric i've now made him flash. i give you a second to wait it out a second. miles, luck, everyone, john. you have been someone who has been on this committee. ross on the outside looking in. you work on the inside. i have to know, with these two witnesses, is there anything to say that these are one of the last of, then the blockbuster? or are we reading too much into those two? >> i wouldn't worry too much that is those two. those two, i think you're going to hear from a range of witnesses. one of the things that the committee has done really well is he is videotaped oppositions -- depositions and interviews, weaving it into the hearing. while there might just be two people sitting live at the witness table, we're going to hear from a lot of people who worked in the white house for
have some new reporting on what doj did and did not know about cassidy hutchinson's testimony. what was that? >> right. so, yesterday, as much of the world, us included, we're sitting in stunned astonishment as we watched the revelation come out from cassidy hutchinson at the witness table, so where the department of justice prosecutors. we understand from some sources that the prosecutors working on this investigation, on the justice department side, we're watching very closely. and they were surprised, very much surprised, at the testimony they were hearing. this gets to a dispute that has been going on for a while, between the justice department and the january 6th committee. the justice department wants the committee to turn over every transcript they have done, with all of these 1000 witnesses, every single one that they have transcribed. and the committee has resisted

the witness table, if they were asked about this, the little bit that happened right before the recess, i think one of the things that they would point out is that, you know, the last thing that representative cheney point out is that jeff clark took the fived when he was asked the same questions that they asked the witnesses. if a prosecutor brought that out in a trial, that would be a mistrial. that's like a basic constitutional due process violation. for the life of me, i continue not to understand not only why this committee would not present a different perspective when they have witnesses that could clearly deal with cross examination if there were cross examination. and why do this very powerful presentation, which i think this last hour certainly was, and then at the end point out that people are taking the fifth amendment which they have a constitutional entitlement to do and the courts have said if you let that infect a fact-finding
he made that day. that's why jim jordan shouldn't be anywhere close to the dais that is investigating january 6th, but he may be close to the witness table. one question that i have, jonathan, as kevin mccarthy years ago, famously talked about how benghazi was designed to tear down hillary clinton, well, will any of these witnesses have the courage that hillary clinton showed that day when she testified for 11 hours? will we get 11 seconds of kevin mccarthy? will we get 11 seconds of jim jordan? will we get 11 seconds of drrp, who you remember refused to testify when called to the impeachment trial. >> one more question to you, congressman swalwell. given the news that broke yesterday about the notes and we got to see the notes of the act ing ag and deputy acting ag, contemporaneous notes about the president trying to overturn a
capitol hill. at the first hearing of the house select committee to investigate the january 6th attack on the capitol, four police officers who were on the frontlines that day testified to the brutality of the attack, so the horror of what they endured, and to how close they and so many of their colleagues came to being killed that day. the hearing the gang with harrowing video of the attack, some of it never seen before by the public. some of it by the body cameras of the officers who were testifying today. the officers watched the video from the witness table, with d.c. metropolitan police officer michael fanone at one point getting up to comfort his fellow witness, sergeant aquilino gonell of the capitol police. and then it was time for the officers to tell their stories. >> at some point during the fighting, i was dragged from the line of officers and into the crowd. i heard someone scream, i got one! as i was swarmed by a violent mob, they ripped off my badge,
