I think anyone committed to upholding our constitution should come forward and share those details voluntarily. Yes.

What we want are documents that are related to our investigation, documents related to the president's -- former presidents activities, leading up to January 5th and January 6th, rallies.

We`re going to continue to do that work, you know, out of the public realm. And we`re going to -- we`re going to have success doing that. But we`re not going to be deterred for investigating the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

Well, as the letter from Chairman Thompson indicated, we want --- we feel that the information that he has in his possession can shed some light on exactly what happened and what transpired on January 5th and January 6.

There are plenty of details that haven't been reported in the media that we continue to gather. That's part of our investigative work.

We're starting at a very high point, and then we're continuing to gather information.

I think we are making progress, the 300 individuals who we`ve talked to. They continue to give us more information. We`re pulling the thread of the investigation and we`re following every lead. We`re not presupposing where this is going…

That's why Chairman Thompson has said, we're not just investigating January -- the rallies of January 5th and January 6th, everything that led up to that, including from the election day to that time, but were there any points before the…

We know who the author was, I'm not in a position to give that at this point.

I thank the vice chair for yielding. Last Tuesday, December 7, the select committee received a letter from Mr. Meadows' lawyer telling us that his client's appearance for a deposition had become, and I quote, ``untenable''. Something else…

He thinks the legislatures have the power, but the V.P. has power too.

On January 3rd, Mr. Meadows was exchanging text messages with a lawmaker about the pressure campaign to get state legislatures to overturn the results of the election.

This is important because we need to uphold the rule of law. That’s what the committee has been talking about, and that no one is above a lawful subpoena.

We don't accept his excuses. He must be held accountable.

He will share details about his interactions with the former President with Laura Ingraham.

The Chief's Chief hit the bookstores, Mr. Meadows's memoir.

When he got offstage, President Trump let me know that he had been speaking metaphorically about the walk to the Capitol.

If we weren`t receiving information that is helpful to the investigation then that could be a speed bump, but we continue to gather information each and every day, over 270 interviews that we`ve conducted.

what they have learned from these phone records is that Mark Meadows, on his personal phone was in communication with individuals involved in the planning of the January 6 rally.

Ultimately, our goal here is to produce a document to gather as much information as possible both in witness interviews and in those documents from the National Archives that will help tell the story of January 5th and January 6th, the…

Jeffrey Clark was a key effort within the Department of Justice, using the brand of the Department of Justice to continue to stoke the fear and the misinformation campaign that the former president waged.

Our fundamental goal is that this never happens again.

He has shown unwillingness to come forward and testify. We feel that over 250 people have come before us and given submitted interviews.

We want to tell the full and complete story. In order to do that, we are going to need documents we are going to need interviews.

I thank the chairman for yielding time. Sometimes what happens in Congress is complicated. It is wrapped in parliamentary procedure and language that is hard to understand. So let's be very clear about the legislation that we are…
