You know, on the basis of testimony that we`ve received, we have a good-faith -- reason to believe that yes, he was involved in efforts to install Jeffrey Clark at the top of the Justice Department.

There is, you know, precedent certainly for calling members of Congress before an investigatory committee in the Russia investigation. We asked a Republican and a Democratic lawmaker, both to come, in both agreed to do so voluntarily. It…

Well, you know, I could say certainly our primary purpose is a legislative one. That is we want to establish all the facts expose into the light of day and take legislative action to protect the country going forward.

Well, there is, you know, precedent certainly for calling members of Congress before an investigatory committee.

I think if you or I or any of our viewers -- your viewers were in a recorded conversation like that one, we would be under investigation.

Yes, they do. And what`s more, I think the whole country has a right to know what members of Congress were doing and what role they played in a violent attack on our Capitol.

Mark Meadows was served with a subpoena for testimony and documents 3 months ago. Since that time, he has done TV interviews, published a book, and produced over 9,000 documents about January 6, which he concedes are not covered by any…

if Kevin McCarthy were to become speaker, he would overturn the next election, just as he tried the last one.

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…

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

Mr. Meadows` behavior and his refusal to do his moral duty shows why we need stronger tools to enforce congressional subpoenas.

Mr. Meadows also has knowledge regarding President Trump`s efforts to persuade state officials to alter their official election results. In Georgia, for instance, Mr. Meadows participated on a phone call between President Trump and Georgia…

And 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.

January 6th was without precedent. There has been no stronger case in our nation`s history for a congressional investigation into the actions of a former president.

This constitutes legal contempt, but also personal contempt. Mark Meadows` actions demonstrate his contempt for Congress, for the select committee, for his former colleagues and for the integrity of the democratic process.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
