the chairman of the committee, congressman benny thompson told reporters today that the committee will soon be sending subpoenas, as part of their inquiry. that's not the only investigation going on in congress right now, that could shed light on donald trump's efforts to overturn the election. we know another part of the former presidents scheme to overturn the election was centered around the justice department. to wield the power of the doj to somehow swing the results in trump's favor. there were reports that trump considered ousting his attorney general and replacing him with some that would push his claims about election fraud. trump and his chief of staff brought their claims to the doj leadership demanding that the department investigate the fraud to delegitimized lull joe biden's win. just this week we learned just how extensive this pressure campaign was. washington post reported that trump called his acting attorney general jeffrey rosen almost every day about the so-called fraud in the aftermath of the election. the attorney general's top aide took notes about with the form

we don't know who will be getting subpoenas from that committee, but benny thompson told us, on this program last night, that those subpoenas are going out soon. in terms of what led to and prompted the january 6th attack? the lies about election fraud, the narrative of a stolen election, the fantasy that donald trump's election loss could be overturned, that needs to be investigated by the select committee. but that is not just stuff that happened before january 6th. as far as a false narrative about the 2020 election that is inciting people to violence or potential violence, we're all living in an active crime scene right now. this is ongoing. take the so-called audit that arizona republicans have been conducting of the 2020 election results, in maricopa county, and arizona, the cyber ninjas guy, who is a qanon -- under ultraviolet via light. looking for bamboo fibers because maybe the ballots were secretly said to a merica from east asia. today, the guy who had been overseeing the audit for the arizona republicans quit after being walked out, that is -- he was actually physically
