This story is developing …Previous Hearings:Day 5 on June 23 included testimony showing that Trump pressured on his own attorney general’s office to overturn the 2020 election – an effort one dissenting Justice Department official called a “murder-suicide pact.” The committee was expected to hear from a documentary filmmaker Alex Holder, who chronicled the final six weeks of the Donald Trump presidency, but Holder’s appearance was delayed. Read about Day 5 highlights here.Day 4 on June 21 included Republican state officials from around the country telling the committee how Trump tried to pressure them to overturn election results, including sending supporters to officials’ homes, waving weapons and shouting insults and threats of violence here.Day 3 kicked off June 16 with testimony focusing on the intense pressure President Trump put on Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the election.

Clark appeared before the Jan 6. committee and pleaded the Fifth Amendment 100 times during a two-hour deposition. On Thursday, details emerged in the committee’s hearings about a  proposal spearheaded by Trump and Clark that suggested the DOJ send letters to state legislatures demanding they reseat electors, citing nonexistent voter fraud.The idea was ultimately unsuccessful.

Politico reports that new documents from the National Archives and tips received from the public from the first four hearings are also a factor in extending the investigation into the insurrection attempt of Jan. 6, 202.

Following Tuesday’s hearing from the Jan. 6 select committee, “The View” host Sunny Hostin put her criminal prosecution experience to work. And to her ears, there are at least three criminal charges that Donald Trump should face.During the show’s Hot Topics discussion, the panel of women noted that with every new reveal from the committee hearings, they are more disgusted, and often more disheartened.

Tucker Carlson has spent the last year and a half minimizing and misrepresenting the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and he also doesn’t like Stephen Colbert at all. Those things combined on Monday’s episode of Fox News show when he offered up some criticisms of Stephen Colbert’s brand of comedy — which he asserted is vastly inferior to the comedy stylings of the people who trashed the Capitol building on Jan.

Tuesday column for the National Review that it is “unnecessary [for the committee] to demonstrate either that Trump is unfit for the presidency or that he may be guilty of a crime.” He states that the committee has successfully shown that Trump is “unfit for office” and that “it may even be showing that he obstructed Congress or … conspired to defraud the United States.” However, McCarthy differs from the committee in believing the coup attempt was never “plausible” and that “the system did work” in preventing the election being overturned, comments of which you can watch below. Fox News legal analyst Andy McCarthy says the Jan.

he was very drunk at the time. But there were more than enough Trump insiders on-hand and on-video – to shed light on how this happened – and what went down at the White House on election night.Giuliani has since denied that he was drunk, but it’s likely Kimmel doesn’t believe him.

during an interview on his home network NewsNation that he’d be testifying Monday.Stirewalt’s testimony supported the Committee’s assertion that a “Red Mirage” – the tendency of Republicans to win on Election Day, while Democrats tend to carry early- and mail-in voting – was expected. Yet Trump took the overnight reversal as a sign that the election was fraudulent, despite being warned repeatedly by advisors of the common phenomenon.Bill Barr, Trump’s former Attorney General, confirmed in his Monday testimony that people within the campaign and the administration were aware that the outcome was always in question while mail-in and early votes were being counted.“I didn’t think much of that because everyone understood for weeks that that was what was going to happen on Election Night,” Barr said.Stirewalt boasted that Fox News Channel, where he worked on the Decision Desk, was the first major outlet to call Arizona for Biden, and they were able to do so with tools like “a better set of data” than its competitors and a partnership with The Associated Press.“Our Decision Desk was the best in the business, and I was very proud to be a part of it,” Stirewalt said.

Other witnesses include Chris Stirewalt, a former Fox News editor, who was part of the team that made the decision to call Arizona for eventual election winner Joe Biden in November 2020. The decision reportedly infuriated Trump, who reached out directly to Fox News leadership to complain. Stirewalt has become an outspoken critic of political media since leaving the network.

Trump suggested that Mike Pence “deserved” to be hanged Testimony from former Trump aides shows that the former president was not worried about Jan. 6 rioters’ threats to “hang Mike Pence” and instead suggested that Pence “deserved it.” “Trump’s intention was to remain president of the United States despite the lawful outcome of the 2020 election and in violation of his constitutional obligation to relinquish power,” Liz Cheney said.In her opening remarks, she also issues a warning to her party: “Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.” 2. Trump’s own daughter turns on him Ivanka Trump told the committee that she “accepted” former Attorney General William Barr’s conclusion that there was there was no evidence of fraud sufficient enough to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

If tonight’s primetime debut of the House January 6 committee investigating the MAGA-fueled murderous attack on the U.S. Capitol last year was any indication of how the democracy-protecting politicians plan on making their pitch to the American public, they may want to give Mark Burnett a shout.
