were there. congresswoman, moving to your work with the committee, can you tell us what you all have been busy doing in the time that we have not had a public hearing from you and your colleagues? we ve been working all summer. the staff, of course, is in washington, working away and the members are, as well. we meet frequently. we meet virtually, usually. as a matter of fact, this week, and we will be meeting again next week, sorting through various issues that we re still pursuing. new information, new interviews are ongoing. and we re learning some new things even this summer. obviously, we re in the back end of our investigation, not the beginning, but we re still learning new things. what can you tell us then you know, part of our charge is also to make recommendations on various laws that might be changed to make us less vulnerable, to attack by people who want to overturn democracy.
mishandling. i don t know how that s going to turn out. but i did note that and i thought it was interesting, because it shows that at least at some point, they were in his possession. in other words, you can t simply say that somebody else packed them, took them out of his office, moved them to his home, put them in the basement and he never saw them or touched them. he obviously did, if that turns out to be true. ken dilanian, tom winter, chuck rosenberg, kim whaley, clint watts, my thanks to all you ve. we continue to follow breaking news. on wall street, the dow way down right now in the final hour of trading, dropping nearly 900 points. investors reacting to jerome powell saying today that the fed will continue to raise interest rates to fight inflation and warning that will cause some pain to the u.s. economy. we re going to keep an eye on this and bring you a live report just before the closing bell. right after the break, more of msnbc s coverage of the redacted affidavit
time period. as for whether or not they will try not to appear, we ve not heard from them yet. we ve reached out to them and their representatives, was certainly if we look at other members of the trump orbit, rudy giuliani, others who have been compelled to testify before the grand jury, certainly, senator lindsey graham, who s still in this legal back and forth as to whether or not he needs to appear, we certainly have seen a lot of people trying to push back on being called to testify before the special grand jury. again, haven t heard from him yet, but the d.a. has made it clear that she is going to keep pushing and do what she needs to do to compel them to testify. blayne alexander, thanks so much. we want to turn now to another ongoing investigation, the january 6th committee, working behind closed doors during congress recess. they re gathering evidence and talking to witnesses as their highly anticipated public hearings are expected to pick back up next month. i want to br

very compelling. i think the outtakes of what donald trump refused to say was very powerful information. so their job is different from that of a prosecutor. no doubt they want this to be part of the calculus when the elections come around and they want people to keep talking about this. liz cheney talking about ginny thomas. that i m sure was very strategic to get people talking about that. betsy, pick up on that. we got a couple of things to hit while i have this panel with me. and that is now this information from liz cheney talking about a possible subpoena of the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas. i talked to zoe loftgren.
