Welcome to the beat. I'm Ari Melburgh, and there is new pressure in the January 6 probe. We've got

three different avenues of legal developments. The January 6 committee itself has this new evidence from

Rogers Stone. Trump's former chief of staff, Meadows, is ordered to testify today in that criminal

probe in Georgia. And then the most dramatic image you see on your right,

the head of the oathkeepers, goes on trial today for the most serious charges leveled in

this probe's seditious conspiracy. So there is much happening there, and there is pressure.

We have the new documentary footage of Stone, which shows him plotting strategy.

This was before anyone else knew there would be an insurrection.

What they're assuming is that the election will be normal.

The election will not be normal.

Oh, these are the California results?

Sorry, we're not accepting them. We're challenging them in court.

If the electors show up at the electoral college, armed guards will throw them out. I'm the president. F*** you. We're challenging them in court. If the electors show up at the electoral

college, armed guards will throw them out. I'm the president. You're not stealing Florida,

you're not stealing Ohio. I'm challenging all of it. And the judges we're going to are judges

I appointed. You're not stealing the election. You know what's striking about that?

At the time, you could imagine if you were in that room shooting it, you might think, well, this is bonkers, or this is fan fiction, or this is some episode of 24.

It may have sounded like that, but we know now what Mr. Stone referred to there.

Electors pledged to Trump in states Biden won, even after they were certified in the

December 14th electoral college process, fraudulent material suggesting there was a contested outcome

that there wasn't. The reverse terminology of stealing states that Trump had actually lost.

All of that is the strategy that was actually laid down going into the sixth.
