Let me give just three examples, first, President Trump`s failure to stop the violence. On January 6th, our Capitol building was attacked and invaded. The mob was summoned to Washington by President Trump, and as many of those involved…

I want to display just a few of the messages he received from people in Congress. The committee is not naming these lawmakers at this time as our investigation is ongoing.

I expect the Justice Department to move as swiftly in dealing with Mr. Meadows, as it did with Mr. Bannon, and prosecute him for violating the law and his duty as a citizen.

On January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all.

His refusal to comply with the direction of Congress... is a display of his contempt for Congress.

Mark Meadows has committed a crime--in this case, a premeditated one.

No one is above the law, not even a former President's chief of staff.

I hope there will be more in the Senate. But, if not, we`re going to have to get rid of that filibuster to pass these reforms and voting rights legislation as well.

What we introduced and have passed yesterday, the Protecting Our Democracy Act, is really, this generation`s post-Watergate reforms.

And that, to me, is something that ought to be the center of our focus.

There were very different lanes of effort, all intended to overturn the election.

These new subpoenas go to people who were involved in organizing these rallies on the Mall that day.

You know, it is staggering but I think that`s exactly what was going on. This was not some spur-of-the-moment thing. This was a well-concerted plan that began with laying the foundation before the election by positing that any vote counted…

It really does and it`s absurd argument to begin with, and made more absurd by the fact that it`s made by a former member of Congress. He`s basically saying Congress has no legislative -- no proper purpose in investigating an attack on…

It`s a very important. You know, of course, we don`t know all that`s in there, but we have received cooperation from any number of witnesses including for a time Mark Meadows. So, we know some of what`s in the archives.

I think the courts understand that during the Trump years that he effectively played rope-a-dope in the case of former White House Counsel Don McGahn. He was able to stall for over two years before that official was deposed. And I don`t…

Well, I think the two things that were really significant about it. The first was how quickly they took up the case and how quickly they arrived at a decision, but also the overwhelming nature of that decision, and the real invitation to…

This is exactly why we need these witnesses to testify so we can understand what part of this plot to overturn the election was the White House involved in, what part was the president personally involved in.

We don`t want another, and getting to the full ground truth of who was involved, the president, members of Congress, the chief of staff, whoever was involved, they`re trying to overturn our election, we need to get to the bottom of it, and…

I think it will happen very soon.

Well, it`s a frivolous effort to try to delay matters or to appease the former president.

I think it`s a very superficial filing meant to try to obstruct install. He`s really in a compromised legal position because he`s provided information to committee which acknowledges is not privileged, and yet he`s refused to appear to…

Some of that reporting was among the first reporting that the Russians were helping Donald Trump and his campaign, and that the orders to help Trump Campaign were coming from the very top of the Kremlin, indeed, coming from Vladimir Putin.

It doesn't change the fact that Donald Trump's Campaign Chairman was secretly meeting with Russian Intelligence and providing Russian Intelligence internal campaign polling data and a strategy for key battleground states while the Kremlin…

We do and we will. We will do whatever is necessary to make sure that we get the information we need to legislate and protect the country.
