| 0:00.0 | Good morning. It is Sunday, December the 26th. I'm Ali Velshi. In a little over a week from now, |
| 0:10.9 | we will mark one year since the deadly January 6th attack on the nation's capital carried out |
| 0:16.0 | by a violent mob of the failed former president's supporters. While we all witness the events of the day |
| 0:21.2 | unfold on national television, we're still learning more and more about the days leading up to it |
| 0:26.2 | courtesy of the House Select Committee's investigation. The committee members have spoken to a lot |
| 0:30.7 | of people since they began their investigation, hundreds actually, but now they're zeroing in on |
| 0:35.6 | Republican lawmakers who may hold key information about how the capital attack was allowed to unfold in the first place. |
| 0:42.7 | And one person they'd like to speak to in particular is one of the ex-president's loyal allies in Congress, Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan. |
| 0:50.6 | In a letter to Jordan, committee chairman Benny Thompson wrote, quote, |
| 0:53.7 | We understand that you had at least one and possibly multiple communications with President Trump on January 6th. |

| 1:15.3 | with the ex-president than he's been during past interviews. |
| 1:19.8 | I've talked to the president numerous times. I continue to talk to the president's in his left |
| 1:24.6 | office. No, no, I mean, on January 6, Congressman. |
| 1:26.1 | Yes, I mean, I've talked to the president. I've talked to the president so many, I can't remember all the days I've talked to him, but I've certainly |
| 1:31.4 | talked to the president. On January 6th, did you speak with him before, during, or after the Capitol |
| 1:36.6 | was attacked? I'd have to go, I spoke with him that day after, I think after. |
| 1:45.9 | I don't know if I spoke with him in the morning or not. |
| 1:47.1 | I just don't know. |
| 1:52.0 | Jordan isn't the only GOP lawmaker in the committee's sites. |
