NYT reporter explains why Jan. 6 committee will leave 'gaping hole' in report by declining to subpoena Jim Jordan

More evidence has emerged that Republican lawmakers coordinated with Donald Trump's White House on efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, but congressional investigators are reportedly "afraid" of issuing subpoenas to their colleagues.

Testimony shows then-chief of staff Mark Meadows and members of the Freedom Caucus talked about sending Trump supporters marching to the U.S. Capitol as Congress certified Joe Biden's election win, but New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Jan. 6 committee members are highly unlikely to compel them to testify.

WATCH: Self-proclaimed Christian 'prophet' calls for Biden to be jailed for treason in Oral Roberts speech

On Friday, at a "Flashpoint" broadcast at Oral Roberts University marked with Christian nationalists pledging allegiance to former President Donald Trump and claiming with no evidence that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, Nebraska pastor and self-proclaimed "prophet" Hank Kunneman took to the stage and proclaimed that President Joe Biden should be sent to prison for treason.

"You know, they're talking about Biden's poll numbers," said Kunneman. "What they really need to be talking about is cell numbers. Not phone. Prison cell numbers! These guys have committed a crime! They have committed treason against the United States of America and its Constitution! They did not care about you, your pocketbook, or your children, and they want everything inside of their demonic agenda to bring you down, and this nation! But I'm here to tell you that they are standing against something greater than all of us. It is Almighty God who loves the United States of America, and he loves this church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it."

Marjorie Taylor Greene's lawyer exposed himself to a 'heckuva conflict of interest': former federal prosecutor

On Friday, during the hearing against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), her attorney objected to a line of questioning about White House discussions of declaring martial law to overturn the 2020 presidential election — saying that he also represents former President Donald Trump, and claiming that any discussions on that are covered by executive privilege.

In response, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance expressed her shock at the claim of executive privilege, claiming that it is a "heckuva conflict of interest" for this attorney representing Greene to also have been involved in discussions with Trump — and noting the multiple ways that executive privilege does not, in fact, apply to this situation.
