| 0:00.0 | Hey gang, it's Reid. This is a special presentation of the fifth public hearing from the House Select |
| 0:04.8 | Committee on January 6th, which originally aired on Thursday, June 23rd, 2022. We're re-broadcasting |
| 0:11.6 | this hearing because at the Lincoln Project, we know that it is imperative for the future of our |
| 0:16.0 | nation's democracy, that the findings of this committee are heard by as many Americans as possible, |
| 0:21.2 | whether it's by way of live television, watching an online stream, or in this case, by listening |
| 0:26.0 | to it as a podcast. And without further ado, here's the House Select Committee on January 6th. |
| 0:32.5 | The Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack on a United States capital will be in order. |
| 0:40.2 | Without objection, the chairs authorized to declare the committee and recess at any point. |

| 1:29.0 | charged with enforcement of our laws, the Department of Justice. We're already covered part of Mr. |
| 1:37.0 | Trump's effort. We heard from Attorney General Bill Barr tell the story and the committee about |
| 1:44.3 | the baseless claims Mr. Trump wanted the Justice Department to investigate. And that Mr. |
| 1:50.7 | Barr viewed those claims as nonsense. Today, we'll hear from Jeffrey Rosen, the person Mr. Trump |
| 1:58.8 | appointed to run the Justice Department after Attorney General Barr resigned. We'll hear from |
| 2:05.2 | other senior Justice Department officials also. Together, these public servants resisted Mr. Trump's |
| 2:13.1 | effort to misuse the Justice Department as part of his plan to hold on to power. And we will show |
