Thank you so much for joining me tonight.

CNN tonight with Abby Phillips starts right now.

Hey, Caitlin, thank you very much.

And stand by for us because I want to talk about your new reporting tonight.

And in case everyone missed it, CNN is now reporting tonight that prosecutors investigating

efforts to overturn the election are very interested in a chaotic White House meeting

that took place in the final days of the Trump administration.

Now that meeting included Rudy Giuliani.

So Caitlin, what do we know about why special counsel Jack Smith is pressing on some of

these witnesses about this meeting?

Yeah, this is interesting, Abby, because we believe that Jack Smith is in the closing days

of the January 6th investigation, closing period, I should know, we don't know that it's

actually days, but it does appear to be winding down as they've had this flurry of activity

recently.

And one thing that that I and our team have learned is that as they were going through

this, they have been asking questions for some time, but also recently about that chaotic

Oval Office meeting that happened six weeks after Donald Trump lost the election.

I think a lot of people will remember it from the January 6th hearings where attorneys

in the White House were essentially pitted against these outside advisors to Trump outside

advisors who wanted him to do crazy things like sign an executive order about getting the

U.S. military to seize voting machines for those seven states that he lost.

They were talking about Marshall Law.
