What will we learnrnonight?
Reporter: We -- > >we W wl paint
a a ear picture of what happened
bebeeen the time he stepped off
the stage at the ellipse.
A a minder T tt he had just
given a S sech, a rallying cry
to this M M that he had
assembled in W whington and led
them to B bieve he W W G gng to
joininhem in marching to thehe
capital.
And then he W wt back to the
white house.
Heheeally still wanted totoo to
ththcapital but went backcko the
whitit house.
That is more than there H hrs
that he E T in the white house
and watch thehevents unfold.
There was S flurry of action to
try to get him and stand up P
use the microphone to tell the
rioters totop.
But he didi't D thaha until
about 4:17 P.M. In thehe afternoon
when it was clear whahathe
rioterer were trying too do to
pressure the vicicpresident.
So wee will go into a L L of
detailil
Judy: Do you knoww for a facac
former preredent trump could
have stopppp the rioters from
that attack?
>> What I will tell you and we
heard last week frfr a witness
that H said when he got a
memeage from the president at
the 4:17 P.M. Speech, whichchas
not a Veve forceful message to
stop, people watctcd and
liliened.
President Trumpp S sd go home and
pepee.
He also gave E disconcerting
message of love andnd
commiseratioiowith them.
But he said ITI's timeeo go and
lelee.
He has the opporornity.
Judy: As you mentioned, it
appears the formrm president
nted to go to the capapal and
coulul't.
You have been tryiyi to get
those text messagegebetween
seseet members of F cret
servicic
you think that you' going to
get them or any significant
portion of thehe
>>E issued aa subpoena with a
quick turnaroununtime frame to
ask the secret serviceceor
informatatn.
We will try to get to the B tom
of thihi
we can't locate them.
Thererare a lot of technicalal
experts that are a ae to
relocaca dataa will continue to
pursue that.t.
Judy: Want to ask youu about a
pollhe newshour did in
coordinanaon with NPR.
We asked a few days ago, the
Americans their views S what
happened on January 6 6 D we
found D at since last dedember,
viewew have barely changeded
half ofmericans then and nowow
believe thahayes there was an
insurrection whilehe other
haha believes it was just a
political protest at worst or
just an unfortunate E ING that
happenennd I iis time to move
on.
What does I itay to you that
ter all T T work this
committee has put in a a after
alalthese hearings that the
numbers really H hen't moved at
all a a part of F E public
perceptiononf January 6?
>> I C C speak anecdototly to
the E nversations I have with
people across my distrtrt.
They tell me that know it was
bad but I D dn't quite
understand how all O O the pieces
fit together.
This is a multisisp plan.
There is no datat my mind that
ople will listen andndear the
fafas.
Judy: We wonder iff people
belilie president trump shohod
be chahaed with a crime in 50%
said Y Y he should be but O oy
28% said he wiwi B B
what do you believe?
Do you thinknkou will be
charged?
-- H will be charged?
>> There is a separation betwewe
the congresesonal committee
conducting thihi I iestigation.
Ththcommittee is
forward-looking.
So we want T lay outut T T facts
and provide recommendations T T
prevent sosothing like this.
The department off justiti is
essentntlly backward looking..
They arere the ones that have to
determine if a crime is
committed and hold S seone
accocotable.
I K kw the department of jujuice
is C cducting investigations,
the largest criminal
investigigion ever withhnder
800 dedendants.
I don't have exact knowleded
with whererehat investigation is
progressing.
Individudus locateded at the
capital that trespasasd,
violencecedifferent crimes likee
that.
It is a veryyerious crime and
very rarelelprosecuted within
our countnt.
What I like them to go more
quickly so we Canan understand
where this will ultimimely go?
Yes.s.
But I do understand T T
magnitude of it.
I knowhey are listening to thee
work of theeommittee.
They have used informrmion we
haveve presented as a commimiee in
thososfindings.
Judy: The representative will be
