People ought to be aware that committing the crime, witness tampering, is a serious matter and it’s not going to be ignored.

Witness intimidation, that’s a crime. And individuals who are trying to protect the president are committing a crime.

The potential for coercion in that case is pretty obvious.

The real point is, no one is denying that the former president wanted to go to the Capitol and lead this armed mob, and be there while they attacked the Capitol.

I'm hopeful that we can move forward to pass legislation to honor our veterans, to make sure that they get the respect that they earned through their service to our country.

I hope that we are able to take some action to smooth the return of those who served their country in the United States military and who ended up outside of the United States.

I think that this should be automatic--an application should be put in front of a noncitizen soldier, and they can decide.

It's a concern. And anyone who is trying to dissuade or tamper a witness should be on notice that that's a crime.

No one is disputing that the then President wanted to go to the Capitol to be with the rioters. That's a pretty disturbing fact.

He knew it, and he wanted them to march on the Capitol. He encouraged them to do it.

I think it is very important that he come in and answer the Committee's questions, and I hope that he does.

I'll just be frank that I did express some frustration to the PTO during the last administration that they took a statute that we had worked on in the Congress for a number of years.

It was a response to something that was a real problem and a growing problem.

It was a bipartisan, bicameral effort that was made to do the improvements to the patent system.

We did file pleading saying that was our belief that the President and Mr. Eastman had engaged in fraud and criminal conduct and therefore we’re not entitled to the attorney-client privilege that he was asserting.

The election was not fraudulent. He knew it wasn’t fraudulent. He kept saying at any still saying it, that we’ll see tomorrow and later in the week, his efforts to subvert state election processes.

When he sent out the tweet attacking his vice president, he already knew that the violence was underway. The only conclusion you can reach is that he intended to accelerate that violence against the former vice president.

Zoe Lofgren says Donald Trump tried to accelerate the violence against his own vice president during the attack on the Capitol.

We have questions for her, and we may have questions for him as well.

We will provide additional information to the public soon.

We will be helpful to them in terms of specific information that they wish from the -- our own investigations.

I think it's very concerning that Adam and his wife and his little baby were threatened.

We will be making legislative recommendations.

The former president is continuing on his campaign to undercut confidence in the election system.

I think that's what the former president has unleashed here.
