>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HOLD ON.
WE WILL ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS.
>> AT THE ONSET YOU SAID WE MUST
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED EVERY MINUTE
OF THAT DAY IN THE TRUMP WHITE
HOUSE, EVERY PHONE CALL, EVERY
MEETING AFTER THE ATTACK.
WHY DO YOU THINK THATS SO
CENTRAL TO THE INVESTIGATION AND
IS THERE AGREEMENT AMONG THE
CHAIRMAN TO GO DOWN THIS ROUTE?
>> THE CHAIRMAN HAS SAID
EVERYONE SAID THE INVESTIGATION
IS GOING WHEREVER IT MAY LEAD.
OBVIOUSLY EVENTS THAT DAY AT THE
WHITE HOUSE ARE A FOCUS AND
MAKING SURE WE GET TO THE BOTTOM
OF EVERYTHING THAT WENT ON.
EVER MINUTE OF THE DAY.
SOMETHING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
DESERVE.
>> THE OFFICERS IF YOU HEARD MY
LAST QUESTION, WE ASKED THEM
WHAT WOULD THEY LIKE TO SEE FROM
THIS HEARING.
THEY WITHOUT EXCEPTION SAID WE
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO
PARTICIPATED IN IT, WHO FINANCED
IT, WHO ENCOURAGED IT,
ORCHESTRATED IT.
PART OF THAT IS THE CHALLENGE OF
THIS COMMITTEE.
SO WE WILL FOLLOW THE FACTS.
AS I LOOK AT THE COMMITTEE, AND
I SAID TO THEM EARLIER, I DONT
SEE ONE SHRINKING VIOLET,
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE ONE MEMBER WHO
HAS A DAUGHTER NAMED VIOLET, BUT
OTHER THAN THAT, WE WILL FOLLOW
THE FACTS.
>> TO THAT END, HOUSE IS TO GO
HOME SEVEN WEEKS AFTER THIS
WEEK.
HOW DO YOU BUILD ON THIS, WHAT
DO YOU DO NEXT?
>> WE NOW HAVE A BODY OF
TESTIMONY THAT WE WILL REVIEW.
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING
THAT TOGETHER.
I PUT SOME MEMBERS ON NOTICE
THAT THEY WONT ENJOY THE ENTIRE
AUGUST RECESS, BUT WE WILL GIVE
THEM TIME TO WORK IN THEIR
DISTRICTS.
CONCEIVABLY, WE COULD COME BACK
BEFORE THE END OF THE AUGUST
RECESS.
DO SOME ADDITIONAL WORK.
>> WHAT DO YOU SAY TO
REPUBLICANS WHO ARE NOW CALLING
FOR THEM TO RESTRICT COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENTS AS A RESULT OF
SERVING ON THIS COMMITTEE
THROUGH APPOINTMENT BY SPEAKER
PELOSI.
>> ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO THAT IS
WE HAD A BIG ATTACK JANUARY 6th,
HEARD VERY EMOTIONAL TESTIMONY
TODAY, AND THATS WHATS ON THE
FOREFRONT OF MY MIND.
IF PEOPLE WANT TO GET PETTY,
THATS FINE.
I THINK THAT REFLECTS MORE ON
PEOPLE THAN ON THE SITUATION AT
HAND.
THIS IS A HISTORIC MOMENT.
THIS IS A DEMOCRACY DEFENDING
MOMENT.
NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCES TO
ME.
I KNOW LIZ WILL STAND AND DEFEND
DEMOCRACY.
>> THIS MORNING, LEADER McCARTHY
HAD SOME COLLEAGUES WERE OUT
FRONT OF THE CAPITOL, BASIC
MESSAGE WAS WHAT DID NANCY
PELOSI KNOW, WHEN DID SHE KNOW
IT.
SOME OTHER COLLEAGUES WERE AT
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT DEFENDING
JANUARY 6th PRISONERS.
WHATS YOUR READ WHAT OTHER
MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE ARE
DOING WITH MESSAGING TODAY?
>> LOOK, ALMOST EVERY MEMBER OF
THE REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE STUNLD
IN DAYS IMMEDIATELY AFTER
JANUARY 6th WHAT HAD ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND MANY OF THEM SAID
HAPPENED AND MANY OF THEM SAID
SO PUBLICLY.
MANY MEMBERS OF OUR LEADERSHIP
AND OTHERS, THAT THEYVE GONE
FROM RECOGNIZING WHAT HAPPENED
ON THE 6th TO PROTESTING IN
FRONT OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO WERE PART OF THE INSURRECTION IS SOMETHING
OF THE INSURRECTION IS SOMETHING
THAT I CANT EXPLAIN.
I THINK IT IS A DISGRACE.
I KNOW THIS COMMITTEE IS FOCUSED
ON GETTING TO WHAT HAPPENED IN A
NONPOLITICAL, NONPARTISAN WAY.
THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL
CAMPAIGN. THIS IS DEADLY SERIOUS.
THIS IS DEADLY SERIOUS.
WELL INVESTIGATE EVERY ASPECT.
>> WE HAVE NOT SET ANY
ADDITIONAL HEARINGS.
WE WILL BE DISCUSSING IN THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS ABOUT WHAT THE
