Jan. 6 hearing secrecy due to ‘massive security threats’ related to Marjorie Taylor Greene: WaPo reporter

A former White House staffer will testify before a House select committee hearing that was not announced until the day before for security reasons that may be related to one of the Republican lawmakers she implicated in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Donald Trump's former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, will testify Tuesday before the panel about efforts to overturn the former president's election loss, but her previous testimony -- which was recorded on video and shown in previous hearings -- about a specific GOP lawmaker necessitated the secrecy, Washington Post reporter Jacqueline Alemany told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Former President Donald Trump is privately worried that last week's U.S. Supreme Court ruling on abortion rights will smother his 2024 campaign before it's even officially announced, according to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough.

A majority of Americans oppose the loss of abortion rights protections in place for nearly 50 years under the ruling in Roe v. Wade, but the court Trump built struck down those rights in last week's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson -- and the "Morning Joe" host said the former president fears voters will punish him and the Republican Party.

MSNBC host Chris Hayes unleashed on Republicans for refusing to allow women any kind of bodily autonomy, but at the same time, he called out Democrats for refusing to fight for women.

The House Select Committee investigating the attempt to overthrow Jan. 6 announced Monday afternoon that they were going to hold an impromptu hearing with a witness that they won't name.

Speculation has swirled throughout the afternoon with suspicions that it was Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), who announced last week that he would be willing to cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee. He made it clear "he would only testify about matters related to Jan. 6, 2021, and that he wanted to see copies of documents that he might be asked about beforehand," CNN reported.

'This is big': Former senator explains why Jan. 6 committee might have scheduled a last-minute hearing

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Congress revealed that they are holding an unexpected hearing on Tuesday at 1 p.m. EST. According to former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), this isn't normal and it likely means there's something significant happening.

"They've done a very good job exceeding expectations so I don't think they'll want to upset that track record," she began speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Monday. "So, you have to assume this is big because I will tell you one thing I know for sure having spent a lot of time in Washington, D.C., members of Congress don't show up three days before the Fourth of July weekend for just anything."
