Jan 6 panel: More people turn up with evidence against Trump

A member of a House committee investigating the insurrection says more witnesses are coming forward.

The panel has subpoenaed Pat Cipollone, the former White House counsel, who investigators are hopeful will appear for a deposition on Wednesday.

The testimony that Trump wanted to join an angry mob that marched to the Capitol in January was cited by Rep. Adam Kinzinger.

He said that every day they get new people who say, "Hey, I didn't think this piece of the story was important." Stay informed and there will be a lot of information.

The committee is investigating the attack on Jan. 6, 2021, as well as Trump's attempts to overturn the election. The next hearings will show how Trump directed a mob towards the Capitol and then failed to stop it. Liz Cheney, the committee's vice chair, made clear over the weekend that there could be criminal referrals against Trump.

Interviews with Trump and members of his family are among the new documentary film footage reviewed by the committee.

Kinzinger didn't say who gave him the new information, but he did say it was new. The committee's confidence in her was the same.

He said there was information he couldn't say yet. Cassidy Hutchinson has testified under oath, we find her credible, and anyone that wants to tarnish her reputation should also testify under oath, not through anonymous sources.

The committee is following additional leads, according to another member. Those leads will lead to new testimony.

In Hutchinson's appearance before the committee, she painted a picture of Trump as an angry, defiant president who was trying to let armed supporters avoid security screenings at a rally to protest his 2020 election defeat.

Cipollone was worried that Trump would be charged with a crime if he joined his supporters in marching to the Capitol.

Legal experts say Cassidy's testimony is potentially problematic for Trump.

There could be more than one criminal referral, according to Cheney in an interview aired Sunday.

Committee members are hoping Cipollone comes forward.

He has information about criminal violations, about the president going to the Capitol, and about the chief of staff having blood on his hands if they didn't do more to stop the Capitol attack. Someone more at the center of things is hard to imagine.

Cassidy testified that Trump grabbed at the steering wheel of the presidential SUV after the Secret Service refused to let him go to the Capitol.

The account was not accepted. A person familiar with the matter said that Bobby Engel, the Secret Service agent who was driving Trump, and Ornato are willing to testify that there was no assault on the agent. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The member of the panel said that they had interviewed Ornato. Her memory appears to be as precise as his. If they want to do that, we would be happy to have them back.

Virginia "Ginni" Thomas is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She was asked to speak to the committee after her communications with the Trump team were made public.

Cheney appeared on ABC's "This Week" and Lofgren appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press"

That's right.
