The House select committee hearings have renewed questions about the security response to the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The hearings have shown that multiple agencies received specific warnings about the potential for violence that day, but the response by federal agencies and law enforcement remained puzzlingly inadequate, and the revelation that the U.S. Secret Service deleted thousands of electronic communications from Jan. 5 and 6, 2021, raises new questions.

Bob Woodward wondered whether the Jan. 6 committee might be proving too far beyond reasonable doubt that Donald Trump committed crimes in his effort to remain in office despite his election loss.

The veteran journalist has written extensively about the former president and revealed much of the evidence the House select committee has uncovered, but he said ultimately the decision whether to charge Trump for his role in the insurrection would be a political one made by the Department of Justice.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ripped the U.S. Secret Service for apparently conspiring to help cover up actions to help Donald Trump carry out the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The agency erased text messages from Jan. 5 and 6, 2021, after the Department of Homeland Security's internal watchdog asked for records of electronic communications related to the insurrection, according to a letter sent to Congress, and the "Morning Joe" host called out pro-Trump agent Tony Ortano and other loyalists to the former president within the Secret Service.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough busted Donald Trump's "cynical" gambit to announce a run for president to avoid prosecution for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The House select committee has laid out the evidence against the former president that could result in multiple criminal charges, and he's facing possible prosecution in Georgia and New York as he weighs a third campaign for the White House, but the "Morning Joe" host said Trump was making a calculation to stay ahead of investigators.

Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn intentionally tried to pick a fight with attackers to keep them away from elected officials on Jan. 6. Since then he's been sitting in the audience of the House Select Committee hearings as they make their way through the evidence uncovered about why and how the people who attacked him and his colleagues got there in the first place.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, Dunn explained that it's difficult to watch, the videos that force him to relive that day. However, it's important for him to be there, he explained.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is among the many conservatives who denied the reports that a 10-year-old was raped and was forced to seek an abortion in another state.

Jordan tweeted about the story calling it: "Another lie. Anyone surprised?" It quoted a story about Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's office, which also said that they found no evidence to support the rape charge.

The co-hosts of "The View" may come from different political persuasions but there's one thing they agree on and that's the Republican Party has gone far outside the scope of the rights and freedoms of individuals with their attempt to ban abortions.

Among those joining the show as guest co-hosts were Chelsea Clinton and former Donald Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin.

Donald Trump is exploring another presidential campaign, but two Washington, D.C., insiders agreed Republican candidates aren't too excited about him announcing his candidacy.

The former president has reportedly been discussing his 2024 plans at secret dinners with wealthy donors and high-profile supporters, but MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire is hearing that GOP congressional candidates want him to hold off any announcement until after the November election.

Jason Van Tatenhove, a former spokesman for the Oath Keepers militia who testified before the Jan. 6 committee, said Donald Trump encouraged the warlord fantasies of the anti-government group's founder.

Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes has been charged, along with some of his group's members and members of the Proud Boys militant group, with seditious conspiracy for their roles in the attack on the U.S. Capitol, and Van Tatenhove told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Trump granted those extremists "an air of legitimacy."

Sgt. Aquilino Gonell revealed that Republican lawmakers have avoided him since he was injured in the Jan. 6 insurrection, and he can only conclude they consider him an enemy.

The Capitol police officer will be forced into early retirement due to long-term injuries, and he told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that only two GOP lawmakers -- House select committee members Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger -- have spoken to him since the U.S. Capitol riot, although some of the Republicans who voted against Joe Biden's certification have publicly supported the rioters.

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski said the phone call Donald Trump allegedly made to a White House staffer ahead of their testimony "fits a pattern" that she has personally experienced.

The Jan. 6 committee revealed Tuesday that Trump allegedly called a witness, a White House support staffer whose lawyer then reported the incident to the FBI, in an apparent attempt to influence their testimony, and the "Morning Joe" co-host said he has tried to personally influence her own coverage of him.

On Wednesday's edition of MSNBC's "The Beat," House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) took the Justice Department to task for their timid investigation into Donald Trump and his allies' plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
However, Schiff did not place the blame entirely on Attorney General Merrick Garland. Indeed, he argued, it was Trump-appointed former Attorney General William Barr whose political misuse of the DOJ put current officials in a tough, gun-shy position about going after a former president.

"Could the DOJ be doing more, quickly?" asked anchor Ari Melber.

Ex-TIME magazine editor and former State Department undersecretary Richard Stengel appeared on MSNBC Wednesday where Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) subpoena for the Georgia voter fraud case was addressed.

Graham, who claimed that he would not comply with the grand jury's subpoena, was told by a judge that he must.
