to our viewers in the united states and around the world welcome to "the situation room." we have breaking news -- happening now, the january 6th select committee presents evidence that then president trump planned for and intended his supporters to march to the u.s. capitol. the panel arguing trump's, quote, call to arms directly led to the violent insurrection. also in today's hearing witnesses described what they said was an unhinged and nuts oval office showdown as trump and his enablers considered outlandish ways to try to overturn the 2020 presidential election. and key white house officials pushed back. and the closing bombshell.

as the committee vice chair liz cheney revealed, the panel has alerted the justice department in washington that trump tried to contact a witness in a possible attempt to influence testimony. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." we're coming to you live from jerusalem to cover president biden's historic trip here. he leaves the white house in just a few hours and arrives here tomorrow. more on this important visit. that's coming up ahead. but first, we want to break down all the new revelations from today's hearing on the january 6th insurrection. what we learned about trump's actions then and now and new accounts of bedlam inside his white house. let's go to our congressional correspondent ryan nobles. he's up on capitol hill. ryan, walk us through all the

dramatic evidence that emerged today. >> yeah, that's right, wolf. the january 6th select committee had a lot to unpack today. they provided specific evidence of the plans of extremist groups and others to come to washington on january 6th with the specific purpose of marching on the capitol and standing in the way of the certification of the election results. and many of them said the reason they were here on that day was because donald trump wanted them to be. the january 6th select committee used their seventh public hearing to build a case that donald trump had a plan, to call his supporters to washington to march on the capitol and stand in the way of certifying the 2020 election. one witness, steven ayres, who has since pleaded guilty to entering the capitol illegally, said he answered trump's call. >> we didn't actually plan to go down there. you know, we went basically to see the stop the steal rally and that was it. >> so why did you decide to march to the capitol?

>> well, basically, you know, the president, you know, got everybody riled up, told everybody to head on down. so we basically were just following what he said. >> reporter: the committee unveiling never-before-seen depositions and communications among trump insiders, showing that the former president ignored the advice of his own advisers and instead leaned on the counsel of election deniers like sidney powell, michael flynn and rudy giuliani. >> i'm going to categorically describe it as you guys are not tough enough. or maybe put it another way. you're a bunch of pussies. excuse the expression. but i'm almost certain the word was used. >> the committee arguing trump knew he lost the election but was driven to overturn the results anyway. >> president trump is a 76-year-old man. he is not an impressionable child. just like everyone else in our country he is responsible for his own actions and his own

choices. >> reporter: a drive that led to a raucous meeting at the white house in the middle of december, when trump wanted to name attorney sidney powell as special counsel in order to seize voting machines. >> the president said okay, you know, i'm naming her that and i'm giving her security clearance. >> reporter: former white house counsel pat cipollone testifying that he was displeased to see people like powell and flynn in the oval office and told trump naming powell special counsel was a grave mistake. >> to have the federal government seize voting machines? that's a terrible idea for the country. that's not how we do things in the united states. there's no legal authority to do that. i don't think any of these people were providing the president with good advice. and so i didn't understand how they had gotten in. >> reporter: cipollone also describing his frustration dealing with people who couldn't produce any evidence of widespread voter fraud. >> disregard, i would say, a general disregard for the

importance of actually backing up what you say with facts. >> reporter: afterward trump shifting gears but not backing down from his pursuit of pushing election lies. tweeting the next day an invitation to his supporters to descend on washington on january 6. >> "be there. will be wild," the president wrote. >> reporter: the committee also presenting a draft tweet obtained from the national archives showing trump planned before january 6 to tell his supporters please arrive early, massive crowds expected, march to the capitol after. this despite members of trump's cabinet and inner circle testifying that they told trump he lost the election and he should concede to biden after the electoral college met in mid december. >> i conveyed to him that i thought that it was time for him to acknowledge that president biden had prevailed in the election. >> if your question is did i believe he should concede the election at a point in time, yes, i did.

>> reporter: and at the conclusion of today's explosive hearing congresswoman liz cheney revealing that one of the witnesses the committee was considering talking to received a phone call from the former president recently. they said that particular witness declined the call from donald trump and instead referred that information to their attorney. their attorney then reached out to the committee. cheney saying that they've now passed that information along to the department of justice. no word, wolf, on who that witness is or if we will hear from them in the future. wolf? >> that was really a bombshell. right at the end of the hearing today. ryan nobles up on capitol hill. thank you very much. let's bring in our political, legal and law enforcement experts. and jamie gangel, i'll start with you. former trump campaign manager brad parscale flat out said trump's rhetoric got someone killed. how powerful was today's hearing? >> i think today was a devastating hearing, wolf, for

trump. every day in the hearing -- in the series of hearings has built on it. this hearing laid the blame, the committee laid the blame on trump directly from white house insiders. brad parscale's a campaign insider. these are the people closest to him. and so what the committee has built is just a devastating case where trump loyalists over and over again are the ones who are saying trump was responsible and that as liz cheney said in the first hearing president trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame. and that's certainly underscored that today. >> well, let me let andrew mccabe weigh in. did the committee, andrew, successfully make the case that the former president of the united states was actually giving directives to his followers and to these violent

extremists? >> you know, as usual, wolf, we didn't see any explicitly clear direction from the president to the -- his connections in the white supremacist world, the oath keepers, the proud boys, that sort of thing. but what we did see was an absolutely premeditated, intentional effort by the president to essentially send the signal out to that community and to his community of supporters to come to the capitol to the rally on the 6th. and then we now know of course that he intended to exhort them to march on the capitol after the rally. so i don't think we have the smoking gun that many would have liked to have seen. but essentially the tweet on december 19th was like the bat signal, right? he puts it up into the clouds knowing that his community would respond. >> he certainly did. gloria, i want you and our viewers to watch just how trump

supporters interpreted his words. listen to this. >> now donald trump is calling on his supporters to descend on washington, d.c. january 6th. >> he is now calling on we the people to take action and to show our numbers. >> we're going to only be saved by millions of americans moving to washington, occupying the entire area, if necessary storming right into the capitol. >> this could be trump's last stand. and it's a time when he has specifically called on his supporters to arrive in d.c. that's something that may actually be the big push trump supporters need to say this is it, it's now or never. >> you better understand something, son. you better understand something. red wave, bitch. there's going to be a red wedding going down january 6th. >> you know, gloria, the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol clearly was not spontaneous.

this was in the works for quite some time, wasn't it? >> yeah, it was. as andy was saying, this was something that was premeditated and they produced the receipts today in the committee. we saw the draft tweet from the archival information which talked about this big rally on january 6th. we saw katrina pearson in a -- after a phone call with meadows sending an e-mail to fellow organizers saying that the president intended to go to the capitol. another organizer said look, it's important to keep this a secret because i can't tell the park service about it. but we're going to head to the capitol. so we know that the president of the united states, knowing that there were armed mobsters out there, said to people go to the capitol. and we also know from testimony at other hearings when the president got in an altercation with the secret service that he

wanted to go to the capitol. so again, this is not a spontaneous walk in the park here. this was premeditated, let's go to the capitol, because we want to overturn an election where an official certification was taking place. >> yeah. it's really amazing to even think about that. you know, elliott, how significant is it to hear directly from the former trump white house counsel pat cipollone, who tried to guard against trump's worst instincts? >> i think it's incredibly significant. and in addition to pat cipollone you also heard from cabinet secretaries who had tried to convey to the president that the scheme that they were hatching with the president's allies was either unlawful, illegal, or improper. and that's significant. again, what you're seeing are insiders of the president circling around him and making clear. and frankly, this will be quite relevant to any prosecutor as they bring a case. was information presented to the president to let him know his

actions were improper? also, we saw a lot of information today about the reach and power of the president's words. and any indication of how he might have known that his twitter following of 70 million people, however large it was, he had the power to call off a crowd or make it disperse or come together. and you saw a lot of evidence and information of that. so very powerful from any of those insiders. we also haven't talked about witness tampering, wolf. that suggestion that was made at the end, that's frankly probably the easiest crime to prove of the ones that we talked about. we talk about sedition and so on. and there may well be a serious allegation of witness tampering here. it just depends on what further information comes out. >> there's certainly a lot more we need to discuss here in "the situation room" including, as elliot just said, that bombshell from congresswoman liz cheney at the very end of the hearing on potential witness tampering by donald trump. our live coverage from jerusalem continues next.

washington. andrew mccabe, as elliot mentioned earlier the vice chair of the select committee liz cheney revealed at the very end of this hearing very disturbing details that after the last hearing the former president trump actually tried to call a potential witness in their investigation, a real witness. they've alerted the u.s. justice department. how concerning is this? >> well, it's incredibly concerning, wolf. i think not in the least part because it shows a level of desperation i think on the former president to reach out, to make any contact with a witness of this committee in light of what was said at the end of the previous hearing where congressman cheney really turned the light and the focus on witness intimidation that's been going on until this point. then to get directly, allegedly directly involved in potentially contacting a witness by the -- by former president trump, it's just -- it's hard to imagine

what he could possibly have been thinking. but it does give the committee a solid lead to follow up on if they have the investigative will to do so or to refer to the department of justice. >> well, they did notify the department of justice of potentially what could be a crime, witness tampering. cheney says, jamie, that trump is an adult, not an impr impressionable child, and needs to be held responsible. it was a dramatic statement on her part. she might as well be speaking, though, directly to the attorney general of the united states, right? >> there's no question about it, that the committee has been keeping the pressure up on the justice department. but i think what's critical here, wolf, is that the committee is doing its job for history, to lay out the case. and as we all know, you hear about prosecutors, it's not

always so hard to make an indictment. it's a whole other question to make a case and convict someone. but the committee, liz cheney, all of these witnesses are providing critical information for the justice department and then we will see down the road whether there is a criminal referral and where the justice department takes it from here. one point to make, we are told that cassidy hutchinson's testimony the other day was a game changer for the justice department, and i'm certain that some of the testimony here from these white house insiders, white house counsel, also is going to have an impact on the justice department. >> including the sworn testimony from pat cipollone, the white house counsel. gloria, the committee also revealed this text exchange between two very staunch trump allies, brad parscale and katrina pearson. watch what they said after,

after the january 6th attack. watch and listen. >> mr. parscale said, "this is about trump pushing for uncertainty in our country. a sitting president asking for civil war." and then when he said "this week i feel guilty for helping him win," katrina pearson responded, "you did what you felt right at the time, and therefore it was right." mr. parscale added, "yeah. but a woman is dead. and yeah, if i was trump and i knew my rhetoric killed someone." when ms. pearson replied "it wasn't the rhetoric." mr. parscale said, "katrina, yes it was." >> how stunning is it, gloria, to hear someone so close to trump flatly say the former president was indeed responsible for the bloodshed? >> well, and also brad parscale is somebody who still does a little business with trump's pac. i think it's stunning because

it's just another example of people who worked for donald trump, were loyal to donald trump, and after january 6th said to themselves and said out loud why did i do this, look at this, this is a president who wanted to start a civil war. but what we saw happen then after people felt that way in the moment, wolf, we've seen them time and time again kind of back away from that feeling and rationalize, well, maybe it wasn't so bad, et cetera, et cetera. what the committee has done is say to these people, no, you were right, lindsey graham, when you said enough is enough after january 6th. all of you people who were thinking about invoking the 25th amendment, you were right because the president was unhinged. and so this is a candid moment between two people very loyal to the president.

by the way, katrina pearson was worried about the people who were going to be on the mall and worried about the people who were going to march to the capitol. so a candid moment and a reminder to everyone that these people, some of them have changed their minds and they shouldn't have because they were right. >> elliot, what goes through your mind hearing that specific exchange? >> that specific exchange, look, people around the president sort of came around when they were seeing how egregious the conduct was. you know, i think the most important thing, wolf, is that we focus on what's a crime, what you can charge brad parscale or donald trump or anybody else with. but if you step back and get out of that framing, this was historically egregious conduct at the highest levels of the white house that people who were loyalists of the president including what we saw today the labor secretary, the white house counsel and any number of others saw as just -- as purely egregious.

so even if this conduct couldn't be charged as crimes, it ought to never happen again. >> elliot williams, thank you very much. jamie gangel. andrew mccabe. gloria borger. thanks to all of you guys. really appreciate it. coming up, former president trump said to be fixated right now by the january 6th hearing. we're watching this. we're getting reaction. our kaitlan collins is standing by. she's got new information. stay with us. >> tech: need to get your windshield fixed? safelite makes it easy. >> tech vo: you can schedule in just a few clicks. and we'll me to you with a replacement you can trust. >> man: looks great. >> tech: that's rvice on your time. schedule now. >> singers♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

we're getting new reaction to this afternoon's very

dramatic january 6th testimony up on capitol hill. the committee detailed a very heated and profane oval office showdown between white house attorneys and outside trump advisers pushing baseless claims of election fraud. watch this. >> i opened the door and i walked in. i saw general flynn. i saw sidney powell sitting there. i don't think any of these people were providing the president with good advice. >> was the meeting tense? >> oh, yeah. it was not a casual meeting. at times there were people shouting at each other. throwing insults at each other. >> cipollone and hirshmann and whoever the other guy was showed nothing but contempt and disdain of the president. >> the three of them were really forcefully attacking me verbally. >> i think it got to the point where the screaming was

completely, completely out there. i mean, you've got people walking in, it was late at night, it had been a long day, and what they were proposing i thought was nuts. >> i thought that the president did not have the authority to do what was being suggested under a proper reading of the law. i conveyed that. i think i actually -- somebody in the vice president's, just blame me. i think the vice president did the right thing. i think he did the courageous thing. i think he did a great service to this country. and i think i suggested to somebody that he should be given the presidential medal of freedom for his actions. >> after our last hearing president trump tried to call a witness in our investigation. a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings.

that person declined to answer or respond to president trump's call and instead alerted their lawyer to the call. their lawyer alerted us. and this committee has supplied that information to the department of justice. let me say one more time, we will take any effort to influence witness testimony very seriously. >> our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is with me right now. kaitlan, this was really important and a very significant moment we just heard from the committee vice chair about this potential witness tampering. what are you hearing about this? >> yeah, liz cheney really dangled that out there at the end. she said we've got this preview of what's going to happen in the next hearing and also here's one more thing that has happened since this last hearing. of course immediately some people in the former president's orbit scrambling to try to figure out who this witness could potentially be, who is it that he tried to call. it's not immediately obviously, wolf.

obviously there have been over 1,000 witnesses interviewed by the january 6th committee. you've seen several of them appear on camera. so that rules them out. you know it's not those who have appeared since she said it is a witness you have not yet seen here on camera or in person. but of course the big question is who is it. and of course you've seen people in trump's orbit already pushing back on this saying cheney is allowed to say these things with them going unchallenged or unconfirmed. there are so many witnesses it could potentially be. but obviously this person felt uncomfortable with the former calling them to the point where they did not answer the phone, they had said phoned the january 6th committee and told them about this, who then in turn turned this over to the justice department. so there is still a lot to learn about this and i think you do need to keep in mind the context of the former president, who has been accused of verging on witness tampering before, whether it be michael cohen or some of his other former aides who have come under legal scrutiny, but i do think this is something that liz cheney put out there and the committee is going to have a lot of questions about this. >> i'm sure they will. very significant. i thought there was another very

dramatic and powerful moment when pat cipollone, the former trump white house counsel, actually on his own decided he was going to heap a lot of praise on the former vice president of the united states. >> completely unprompted. he asked if he could say something about the vice president while he was being interviewed by this committee, and he went on to say that he was courageous, that i did the right thing that day, went on to suggest that he win the presidential medal of freedom. as i was watching that, there are moments from these hearings that have really enraged trump as he's kept up with the highlights, been told and watched himself what was going on. that's going to be one of them. because obviously that is completely opposite of what trump thinks pence did that day. he did not think that he acted courageously. he called him an epithet. i think that is going to be a moment that obviously he will not be happy with. but it does show where this divide came down. and maybe some people in trump's orbit won't but there are a lot of people in the white house that day who do believe that pence ultimately made the right

decision. >> i think history will show that he did make the right decision, deserves a lot of credit. and trump really went after him and branded him as a loser and weak and all sorts of other words. i'm sort of paraphrasing right now. >> yeah, and they testified today about he wanted to add parts about pence to his speech on the ellipse on january 6th, going after him because he knew that pence was not going to do by then what he wanted him to do up on capitol hill. >> good point indeed. do we have any indication how much longer these hearings are going to go on? >> that's a big question here because trump himself is wondering that. he has been asking people how much longer the hearings are going to go on. we thought potentially we could see an end to them this week with a hearing on thursday. the committee then said that actually their plans had shifted to next week and that is when they are going to have hearings going forward, including with some witnesses. so that will be something to watch. but trump, who has been downplaying the significance of these hearings, saying they're not that effective, has also himself been asking when they are going to come to an end. >> yeah, looks like they're not going to come to an end for a while. there will be more hearings next week at least and maybe down the road as well.

kaitlan, thanks so much. kaitlan collins here with me in jerusalem. just ahead, is the former president trump criminally liable in the u.s. capitol siege? i'll ask a key member of the january 6th select committee, congressman pete aguilar is standing by live. we will discuss. stay with us. our special coverage continues tonight. we're live from jerusalem. anage) different how? aren't we all just looking for the hottest stocks?

democratic congressman pete aguilar of california is joining us now live. congressman, thank you so much for joining us on this historic but very, very busy day. first, what more if anything can you tell us about this truly explosive revelation from the vice chair of the select committee liz cheney that former president trump actually tried to call one of your witnesses? do you have evidence, congressman, to suggest trump knew that person would be a witness? >> well, what we know is what we've said from the very beginning, which is we take it very seriously when individuals reach out to potential witnesses for the january 6th committee. we're not going to let them be intimidated. we're going to keep pursuing our work. and in this case as the vice chair detailed, this individual handled it exactly how we would want them to handle it. we have turned that material over to the department of justice, that their lawyer gave to the committee. and we're just going to leave it at that. but clearly we always back up what we say. i think we have a history of

that. and i look forward to next week's hearing. >> your committee chair, congressman bennie thompson, said just a little while ago he didn't know which witness actually received the call from trump. so who on the committee does know the identity? >> all of the committee members know the identity but this is -- more importantly this is about making sure that witnesses are free to come speak before us. if they want to come talk to us, we have a tip line. we've taken testimony from individuals, over 1,000 people had been interviewed. we want to protect that ability for people to come forward. and that's exactly where we're at. >> so i just want to be clear, congressman. you personally, you do know the identity of this potential witness who received this phone call from trump? >> the members of the committee have been read in. but more importantly, the topic of this issue is something that we feel is incredibly important

and we want to make sure that everybody knows we're not going to stand which and let witnesses be intimidated. >> so you do know the name of the -- the identity of this person? is that what i'm hearing? >> yes, sir. >> all right. we also heard directly from a rioter today saying he only marched to the u.s. capitol after trump urged all of them to do so. but besides the former president's public comments, can you really say he was giving specific directives to these people? >> well, that's what the testimony indicated. and as we've done throughout this entire process, we're just going to let the facts go where they take us. and that's exactly what mr. ayres told the committee and told the country, is that he was disappointed and that this has ruined his life. and i thought it was incredibly powerful testimony, wolf. this is someone who came down, had been monitoring social media, felt that he owed it to the president to come to the

rally, and only went to the capitol after the president pointed at the capitol and talked about marching down to the capitol. and as a result following the president's advice this individual's life has been forever changed. we appreciate his powerful testimony. >> it was indeed very powerful. your fellow committee member jamie raskin says, and i'm quoting him now, "we have only shown" what he calls a "small fraction of what we have found." what exactly can we expect from next week's hearings and any potential hearings beyond that? >> well, the plan is to have this hearing next week. we look forward to sharing the next piece of the information that we have learned. this hearing will likely focus on that time period. what was going on in and around the white house during this time. this hearing we talked about domestic violent extremism in the period between the election

certification on december 14th and january 6th. how did we get here. that was another one of our mandates. but specifically this next hearing we're going to summarize what we found and talk specifically about what was going on that day at the white house. >> i'm sure that will be significant. we'll be watching every step of the way. congressman pete aguilar of the january 6th select committee, thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks, wolf. >> coming up, they played central and dangerous roles in the january 6th insurrection. we'll take an in-depth look at the proud boys and the oath keepers and where their violent aims and extremist ideologies intersect. stay with us. you're in "the situation room." we're live tonight from jerusalem. ♪ [beeping] do you want some more?! wait 'til you see me on the d downhill...
