let's bring in cnn's manu raju who broke this reporting. tell us more. >> yeah, senate democrats are saying that merrick garland, the justice department should pursue any suggestion that donald trump may have broken the law, and some going as far as saying that he should be prosecuted. the democrats say -- have said for some time the justice department has moved too slowly. in news that donald trump's actions have been investigated, asked about in some of these proceedings and the investigation, many are heartened and say better late than never. >> do you think that trump should be prosecuted? >> i personally, yes. but i'm not the attorney general. i think that the committee presented a lot of evidence as to his not just complicity but his active engagement in the insurrection. >> in this case, the mounting evident indicates an investigation is well warranted and there ought to be serious consideration of a prosecution. the walls are closing in on donald trump. >> now, the democrats who are part of the house select committee say they have b

cnn's ed lavendera followed the money in his new cnn series, "deep in the pockets of texas." ed, tell us what you found. >> jake, we've reported for years, and many people have talked about how texas is on the verge of turning blue. that democrats will finally win a statewide election here. the fact is, that hasn't happened. and there are millions of reasons for why that happened, so we explore that. >> your voting record is just as conservative as many of the people who might be supported by these west texas billionaires. and you voted for the abortion bill. you voted for the no permit gun carry bill. and the bill that limits the discussion of race and gender in classrooms. you voted for that, as well. >> mm-hmm. >> so why not have the tim dunns and the ferris wilkes supported you? it seems you're doing stuff that they agree with. >> my voting record is very conservative. is it 100% conservative? no. the hundred percenters, you're either owned or not owned. >> the way you describe this, it almost sounds like senator joe smith, to make up a name, if they've got a ton of money

let's bring in cnn's priscilla alvarez. what are you hearing this morning on this effort they are making? >> among those caught in the cross hairs after the supreme court decision are federal agencies trying to navigate the states that have banned or will ban abortion and one of those is the department of health and human services. that is a department that oversees the care of migrant minors who arrive to the united states without a parent or guardian and some of those minors when they come into custody are pregnant. it makes it all the more challenging with the shifting abortion landscape and a source now tells me that the administration is working on guidance to ensure that their abortion rights are protected. now, hhs has previously released two separate memos, one in 2020 after litigation and another one in 2021 after the texas abortion law. both of those memos focused on pregnancy related medical services and it's the texas one that an advocate pointed to when i spoke to her about what to expect moving forward. that t
