| 0:00.0 | Good evening there's breaking news tonight on many fronts. The mass shooting at a supermarket in western Tennessee 13 people wounded at least one person has died the gunman also dead. |
| 0:10.0 | An arrest warrant issued for Brian Laundry whereabouts unknown after the killing of his fiance in Wyoming will have a live report plus perspective from citizen crown fighter John Walsh and authors Bob Woodward and Robert Costa are here to talk about the revelations in their new book, Parallel and the former president's new reaction to it. |
| 0:28.0 | We begin though with the first concrete staff by congressional investigators trying to learn more about how this all led up to the attack on the capital. |
| 0:35.0 | And the first step is a big one. |
| 0:36.7 | Sapeno is issued targeting not just close aides but his very closest. |
| 0:41.0 | You know, it's Ryan Noble's breaking the story joins us now. So who are the people facing these subpoenas? |
| 0:46.0 | So Anderson, these are four of the former president's closest aides. Mark Metos, his former chief of staff, Dan Scavino, |
| 0:53.0 | who is former deputy chief of staff, Cash Patel, who served as the chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense. |
| 1:00.0 | And then of course, Steve Bannon, who was one of his closest advisors during his presidential campaign and then also served in a counselor role during the early portion of the Trump administration. |
| 1:11.0 | These are a group of men that not only had Trump's ear on a regular basis, but also were around him and in conversations with those planning the rally that took place in front of the White House. |
| 1:22.0 | The White House that served as the prelude to the January 6th Capitol insurrection. So it's pretty clear just what the thinking is of this committee in terms of what they are looking for that they're starting with this group to ask serious questions about what they knew in the events leading up to January 6th and the reaction and response to it. |
| 1:41.0 | Do the speed and shed light on exactly where the investigation is headed? |
| 1:45.0 | It really does, especially when you read the requests that they sent to these four men about what they're looking for in terms of records and the reason that they're asking for these records and for these private interviews. |
| 1:57.0 | And I'm going to read from the letter to Dan Scavino, who's of course the former president's deputy chief of staff. It says, quote, the select committee has reason to believe that you have information relevant to understanding important activities that led to an informed the events at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. |
| 2:14.0 | And relevant to former president Trump's activities and communications in the period leading up to and on January 6th. And that's just one example from this. |
| 2:25.0 | The Vino letter in the Batelle letter, remember, he was at the Pentagon during this period of time. And of course, the select committee has requested, you know, thousands and thousands of documents related to communications from the Department of Defense and the White House as it relates to their response and getting the National Guard to the Capitol on that day. |
| 2:47.0 | It shows that they're building not only a timeline, but also connecting the dots as to who is involved in the lead up to the insurrection and then the response to it on that day. |
| 2:57.0 | And has there been any response from these four who were subpoenaed or I mean, it seems like they would be likely to try to fight this request. |
| 3:05.0 | So we've reached out to all four men to get a response. This information just breaking within the last half hour. So we've not heard any response from them as of yet. But if past practice, as any indication is how they will respond, it is very likely that they will do everything they can to fight these requests. |
| 3:22.0 | And the big question that we have now is executive privilege to the attempt to, you know, use executive privilege as a reason to not appear before this congressional committee. The committee would argue that there is precedent for these type of individuals serving in those type of roles to come before Congress because of Congress's oversight responsibilities. |
| 3:44.0 | But there's no doubt in Anderson, even though they've asked for this and we should point out they've requested that these records requests be fulfilled by as soon as October 7th. |
| 3:52.0 | The interviews are scheduled to take place on October 14th and 15th. There's no doubt that there's probably going to be a legal fight before we actually see any of these men come forward. |
