4:05 am
everybody knew he was going to. and the president mentioned it like five times when he talked. you can go back and watch the president's video. when the writers preach the capitol and secret service rushed mike pence into an office, president trump sent out this tweet telling his followers mike pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and constitution. here's what president trump's own white as deputy press secretary testified to the committee about that tweet. >> when that mike pence tweed was sent out, i remember a saying that was the last thing the president needed tweet at that moment. the situation was already bad. it felt like he was pouring gasoline on the fire. >> the january 6th committee revealed the writers came to
4:06 am
within just 40 feet of the vice president. secret service agents rushed into a secure underground location. >> writers breached their crypt. >> the secret service can control the situation. >> at 2,:26 p.m., secret service rushed vice president pence down the stairs. >> he went to the secure location? >> upon arriving, there was further discussion if we are going to leave the capitol complex or stay where we were. >> vice president pence and his team are led to a secure location where they stayed for the next 4 1/2 hours. barely missing writers a few feet away. >> an informant told the fbi that the far right group their proud always quoting now would've killed mike pence had they got their hands on them during that right. the generous six committee
4:07 am
released never before seen photos of mr. pence. these photos hiding in that underground location. the vice president general counsel greg jacob was with them. he testified that mike pence refused to leave that spot and instead stayed bunkered to finish his duty once the riders left. >> the vice president did not want to take any chance that the world would see the vice president of the united states fling the united states capitol. he was determined that we will complete the work that we had set out to do that day. it was in his constitutional duty to see it through and that the writers who had breached the capitol would not have the satisfaction of disrupting the proceedings be on the day on which they were supposed to be completed. >> the vice president did not testify but much of today's testimony surrounded john
4:08 am
eastman. he's a conservative lawyer who is the architect of trump's dubious legal theory that the vice president of the united states had the power to block the count of electoral votes and decide who won the election. president trump's own white house attorney eric herschmann testify he confronted easement and told him his legal theory was crazy. >> you are saying that you believe the vice president, acting as president of the senate, can be the sole decision-maker who becomes the next president of the united states? and, you said yes. >> i said are you out of your -ing mind? that was pretty blunt. you are completely crazy. you will turn around and tell 78+ million people in this country that your theory, this is how you will invalidate your votes because you think the election was stolen?
4:09 am
they will not tolerate that. you will cause rights in the streets. and he said words to the effect there has been violence in the history of our country to protect the democracy or protect to the republic. >> mike pence's general counsel testified that the vice president realized that it would be wrong and unconstitutional to do what president trump wanted him to do. >> the vice president's first instinct when he heard this theory was there was no way that our framers, who aboard concentrated power, who broken away from the tyranny of george the third would ever have put one person competently not a person who had tricked interest in the outcome because they were on the ticket for the election, in a role to have decisive impact on the outcome of the election. >> the defense counsel
4:10 am
testified that attorney easement admitted in a meeting for the president that is legal theory would violate federal law and would stand no chance in the supreme court and that no other vice president should ever do what he was asking mike pence to do. >> he said john, if the vice president diwhat you were asking him to do, we would lose 9-0 in the supreme court, wouldn't we? he started we would lose only 7- 2 and after further discussion, acknowledged well, yeah, you're right. we would lose nine. john, back in 2000, you aren't jumping out and saying he would have the authority to do that. you would not want kamala harris to exercise that authority in 2024 when help republicans win the election. i know you hope that, john. he said absolutely. al gore did out of a basis to do it in 2000. kamala harris shouldn't do it
4:11 am
in 2024 but i think you should do it today. the generous six committee revealed evidence that suggest the lawyer, eastman, knew what he was doing might be illegal. our coverage begins with this. >> reporter: the hearing showed the people urging president trump to overturn the election nunnally knew it would violate the constitution but they were worried about getting caught. the committee revealed that today, john eastman, the architect of the strategy, sought a presidential pardon. it happened a few days after january 6th when he sent this email to rudy giuliani quote i decided i should be on the pardon listed that is in the works. easement did not get added to that list. when the committee tried to subpoena him, he said he would plead the fifth. he did this over 100 times. >> it is against my right to be
4:12 am
compelled to be a witness against myself. fifth. fifth. >> eastman had been warned on january 7th and in colorful terms that he was in legal jeopardy and needed to back off. >> i said to him, are you out of your f-ing mind? i only want to hear two words coming out of your mouth from now on. orderly transition. i don't wanna hear any other f ing words coming out of your mouth no matter what other than orderly transition. repeat those words to me. and eventually he said orderly transition. i said good john. i will give you the best free legal advice you're getting in your life. get a great f-ing criminal defense lawyer. you are going to need it.
4:13 am
>> we heard today about a worst- case scenario than january 6th. what might've happened if east men's strategy had worked. one witness called it a constitutional jump ball that would have to be decided in the streets. >> i would've laid my body across the lawn before i would let the vice president overturn that 2020 election. why he ended with a word of caution. he says attempts to subvert the election are not over and he said trump and his allies are getting up for 2024. >> what is attorney easement saying about this? four easement accuse a committee of selectively leaking information any blames the media for causing false innuendo.
4:14 am
it is not clear what was in those emails that jenny thomas was pushing members of congress and the white house to overturn the 2020 election. easement has never discussed with jenny thomas or justice thomas any matters. the committee has sent a letter requesting that jenny thomas appear before it and she said she looks forward to the opportunity to clear her name. new today, we have linda just a stubborn has renewed its call for information from the january 6th committee specifically requesting transcripts of all the depositions the committee is conducted. a letter from the doj read it is now readily apparent that the interviews the select committee conducted a not just potentially relevant to our criminal investigation but are likely relevant to specific prosecutions, hear this, that have already commenced.
4:15 am
three justice department officials signed that letter including the u.s. attorney for dc. chairman betty thompson responded today. >> we will work with the however apart to do. we are not going to stop what we are doing to share information that we have gotten so far with the department of justice. >> the doj describes the documents it is seeking as crucial. the deputy attorney general and the first bush administration is here. i will ask about the documents but the hearing. a lot of talk of historical president. doesn't it boil down to the president of the united states pressured the vice president of the united states to do something that multiple experts say was unconstitutional? >> i think that's right. there was some legal jargon. the most significant thing about this hearing and i think it was true of the initial hearing earlier is the
4:16 am
indications of how many people, who worked for donald trump, were in a variety of ways, trying to stop what he was trying to do. if anybody thought this was a concerted effort of others and trump was along for the ride, boy, oh boy. the events that have been described in great detail in these hearings show all manner of people trying to set them straight and trying to prevent him from doing the things that he's doing and him persisting. i think it is tremendously indicative of a person who was the driving force, as best we can tell at this point. that is news. i don't think we knew these details are new it would be fair to sell that was going on until he heard the stuff. >> we certainly did not. the committee is still deciding on whether to issue a criminal referral for donald trump to the doj. you've worked there.
4:17 am
based on what you've seen kaiser a case? >> i think there is great indication what will likely be a very substantial case. a couple of things are important. one is, you have to recognize that the judgment about criminal prosecution is a complicated one. it will be made by the justice department. there is a lot of considerations that go into it. as citizens, our job is to be patient and wait and see what happens. i think the evidence you are seeing develop in these hearings, much of it was known before. the details, as they have been willing together weren't clear before. it is a very powerful record. it is still unfolding. we have multiple hearings on different topics to hear about. yes, i think there's another marmoset amount of evidence indicative of a strong possibility of prosecution but will have to wait. i do think this development, with regard to the copies of
4:18 am
the transcripts is quite significant. and i can talk more about that if you want me to. >> i wish we had the time. i appreciate your insights. january 6th hearings continue on tuesday. then they will focus on the pressure campaign at the state level to change the election results. full coverage on the news that night. when the interest rate hike was announced, the markets rallied. today, not so. next, on the wall street 180. they volunteered to go from the u.s. to the ukraine to fight. now, two american veterans are missing. their families are afraid they been captured by russia. think of making a right kind of connection on linkedin? take another look. in a cnbc exclusive, the

4:21 am
since september 2020. this sentiment seemed to change overnight. what happened? >> reporter: in the 12 hours or so after the federal reserve raised interest rates, you did have central banks in europe and england and switzerland similarly raising rates and reinforce this idea that the authorities have to chase inflation intensely with higher interest rates which could threaten a further growth slowdown. that was reinforced this morning. you have more news on a big decline in housing starts in the u.s. much more than expected. they were down as well the manufacturing gauge that was weaker than expected. we bring about inflation running too hot as the overall economy cools down. this is a squeeze the market has been in for a while. it reinforces the downside momentum. >> should we expect more volatility is what's coming?
4:22 am
>> yes. it is perfectly sensible to expect this market to continue to be jumpy. it doesn't mean it all goes in one direction. there are some measures of how much selling intensity there is been in the last week. it is a rare extreme. that is the makings for some kind of a sharp bounce but it is tough to pick up the message of what the market is saying until we get some clarity, some stabilization either on the inflation front or the federal reserve may be closer to getting done raising rates. we will hear about corporate earnings in several weeks. all these things will keep us busy in the summer. another setback from getting baby formula on shelves. why when the biggest plants that just restarted production is closed again. vaccines for kids under age 5.
