Biden's Revenge? Secret MAGA Riot Evidence Could Be Released - The Beat - MSNBC



The January 6th riot probe is escalating as the Biden White House may “release information on Trump’s” actions leading up to that day. Top investigator Adam Schiff says the committee plans to go “straight to subpoenas” for resistant witnesses. This comes as a new Reuters report finds the majority of Republican candidates running in races for the job of overseeing elections are in denial about Trump’s election loss. MSNBC’s Ari Melber breaks it down with The Nation’s Elie Mystal and The New York. Aired on 09/23/2021.

But it's an important story, we could be getting information about TFG's culpability from White House records. But I don't see Joe Biden as revengeful, either. He'll do what's best for the country.

3. White House moving to release information on Trump to congressional investigators

The White House is taking steps to release information to a congressional committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol about what former President Donald Trump and his aides were doing as violence erupted that day, a decision that is likely to set up a legal fight with the former President and raise questions of executive privilege for anyone who serves in the Oval Office.

"As President Biden has said, the events of January 6th were a dark stain on our country's history, and they represented an attack on the foundations of our constitution and democracy in a way that few other events have," White House spokesman Michael Gwin said in a statement to CNN.

"The President is deeply committed to ensuring that something like that can never happen again and he supports a thorough investigation into what occurred," Gwin said. "That's why his Administration has been engaging with Congress on matters relating to January 6 for several months now and will continue to do so, including with the Select Committee."

Late last month, Trump threatened to invoke executive privilege in an effort to block the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot from obtaining a massive tranche of documents it's demanding from several US government agencies, despite his successor having the ultimate say over whether the information can be shared.
