But our you know, assumption is they`re talking about people like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, who were the lead organizers of challenges to the election results on the Senate side, people like Tommy Tuberville, who received a call from Donald Trump during the riot. Well, you know, they haven`t told us yet. RUHLE: What`s this thing we`re learning that the committee might also bring in senators that they haven`t before? What are they talking about? Who could that be?ĬHENEY: Sure, sure. You know, I expect that to happen before these hearings take place. But the fact that they`re coming at all is actually somewhat of a win for the committee to get them in the door. The question is, will they provide substantive testimony? I still don`t know the answer to that. But the fact that either of them may be coming at all. I don`t know the precise date they`re coming. So it`s not surprise to see them for the end. and Rudy Giuliani announcing they`re going to announce inviting them like just do it already.ĬHENEY: I mean, these are to the highest profile witnesses you can go after.
RUHLE: Then what`s the holdup on scheduling Don Jr. But at this point, we don`t necessarily need you. We got it from other people, if you want to tell us your version of events, your side of the story, come on in. They want to say, look, we have a lot of evidence about you already. Is there any evidence that these guys have changed their minds?ĬHENEY: I think no, I think that`s really more of a sign that the committee is reaching this sort of endgame of its investigation. RUHLE: All right, well, then, let`s add to today`s dramatics, Kyle, the second invitations to some Republicans, those who refused the first invitations, they`re just invites, they`re not subpoenas. They want people to really feel the intensity of what happened in the attack and why it`s so crucial to the future of democracy. They don`t want this to be sort of just, you know, anodized on paper kind of material. So this is going to be what they want to be a very dramatic and intense presentation of what they found. Some in primetime, some during the day, and each will sort of focus on sort of a specific topic area of their investigation. We now know what`s going to be take place over several weeks in June 8 hearings, we`re told. Now, we`ve been wondering for a while, you know, how are they going to organize this? They have an enormous trove of evidence, 800 and counting interviews, 10s of 1000s of documents, how are they going to present this to the American people. KYLE CHENEY, POLITICO, SENIOR LEGAL AFFAIRS REPORTER: Sure, so we got our first real glimpse at that. So tell us more about what this is going to look like? Kyle, we`ve been waiting for details on potential January 6 hearings for weeks. My dear friend, Jason Johnson, back with us, Politics and Journalism Professor at Morgan State University, also an MSNBC Political Contributor, and Kyle Cheney, Senior Legal Affairs Reporter for Politico whose reporting is focused specifically on January 6. And of course, she`s an MSNBC Legal Analyst. She worked with the Department of Justice during the Biden transition, and as a Professor at the University of Michigan`s Law School. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. With that, let`s bring in our experts Barbara McQuade, a Veteran Federal Prosecutor and former U.S. And at a debate last night, he promised to purge voter rolls if he gets elected. He was actually at the Capitol on January 6, and he now faces a subpoena from the House Committee. In the state of Pennsylvania, one Trump backer who was relentless in pushing the big lie, well, he`s not running for governor. And that report says in some cases, voting systems have been compromised by those breaches. Reuters reporting that Trump allies in at least five different states are now under investigation for trying to access voting systems to look for evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election. And as that investigation moves forward, there are more alarming signs that Trump`s big lie that the election was stolen, which it wasn`t, is now firing up the Republican Party in the 2022 primaries.
There also could be new interview requests for some Republicans in the Senate. And they say Republican House members who refused the committee`s first invitation to appear are soon going to get a second invite as soon as tomorrow. But they will not say when that could happen. RUHLE: Committee members, a former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani himself and Donald Trump Jr.
