WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-NY) was among those in the audience of the seventh public hearing of the House Select Committee on Tuesday and she hopes that the American people are seeing the shocking revelations.

"Those around him exhausted every attempt to overturn the election," she explained to Raw Story. "He went to the public. To his supporters. He encouraged them to go to the Capitol. He told them what to do. It's no surprise."

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and attempt to overthrow the 2020 election held its seventh public hearing on Tuesday revealing the links that former President Donald Trump had with right-wing extremist groups and white supremacist militias.

Among the things that were included in the day of the video were clips from the interview that former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone from last week. While the committee members made it clear that he confirmed a lot of what was known, he also revealed that he and other White House lawyers destroyed all of the legal claims made by those like Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani that Trump could somehow overthrow the government legally.

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol presented evidence on Tuesday that Trump's allies had also planned to march on the Supreme Court.

During the seventh public hearing, one of the proposed tweets for Donald Trump to send out was telling people to come to the Ellipse and that they would then march to the Capitol.

The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol on Tuesday presented evidence that former President Donald Trump knew that he legitimately lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden.

The main focus of the hearing came from testimony provided by former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) revealed that it was clear White House lawyers, known as "team normal," worked for hours to systematically debunk Trump's conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

Three women from Donald Trump's White House appeared Tuesday on CNN with Jake Tapper ahead of the seventh public hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress.

Stephanie Grisham, Olivia Troye and Alyssa Farrah Griffin discussed what they told the committee about their observations of the Trump campaign's connections to right-wing militia groups.

The co-hosts of "The View" were somewhat dumbstruck after watching a video of Republican senate candidate Herschel Walker claiming pollution has to move over from China to the United States and that China somehow steals America's "good air." Walker's point appeared to be a rationale for why the United States shouldn't fight for clean air and clean water because other places don't have clean air and clean water.

"I can't even do it," Whoopi Goldberg said, laughing and fumbling her words. "Okay, I'll do it straight."

On Tuesday at 1 p.m. EST, the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and attempt to overthrow the 2020 election will hold their seventh public hearing. The presentation will focus on right-wing extremists and militias that mobilized around former President Donald Trump.

Speaking to CNN ahead of the hearing, former ethics czar and impeachment lawyer Norm Eisen explained that the Dec. 18, 2020 meeting at the White House was a key point in the investigation that the committee will discuss. One of the points the committee has discussed is Trump's inaction on Jan. 6. For hours, Trump refused to do anything. It was Vice President Mike Pence who ultimately was able to get the Pentagon to move soldiers to the Capitol. Meanwhile, the mayor was begging for help from governors in Maryland and Virginia. D.C. isn't a state, so the ability to move National Guard soldiers isn't an option.

Dr. Rachel Kleinfeld, an expert on how democracies can improve at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, spoke to Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent about what Americans witnessed on Jan. 6, 2021, and what can be expected as the United States enters a new era of politics.

The outlook is grim, Kleinfeld explained, noting that things will get much worse before they get better.

Cassidy Hutchinson revealed as part of her testimony that someone in Trump world attempted to intimidate her ahead of testifying to the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress. It turns out former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen faced the same problem.

A person "let me know you have your deposition tomorrow. He wants me to let you know that he's thinking about you. He knows you're loyal, and you're going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition," Hutchinson was told.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, along with other Justices, have faced protests outside of their home from those furious over the right to privacy and abortion being taken away.

Outside of Morton's steakhouse, which is owned by Tilman Fertitta, who Donald Trump once called "a friend," protesters gathered while Kavanaugh was having dinner. They never came inside the restaurant nor did Kavanaugh ever hear them or face them.

Former White House ethics czar and impeachment lawyer Norm Eisen spoke with Michael Cohen on this week's "Mea Culpa" podcast about the testimony of Pat Cipollone from last Friday.

The former White House counsel to Donald Trump appeared before the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and attempt to overthrow the election.

Last week, real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield was ordered to pay $10,000 a day until it complies with a subpoena issued by New York Attorney General Letitia James. By Sunday evening, however, the firm revealed that the company will move forward with providing information.

In a statement to reporter Nancy Levin, Cushman & Wakefield said, "We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the [Office of the Attorney General] that relates to an interim stay of the Contempt ruling. Since the beginning of the New York Attorney General's investigation in 2019, Cushman & Wakefield has endeavored to cooperate with the OAG's investigation, responding to multiple document subpoenas and eight testimony subpoenas. We will continue to work to produce the documents requested by the OAG by Wednesday, July 13, in accordance with our agreement."

Steve Bannon filed court documents last week claiming that he can't possibly get a fair trial for his Congressional contempt case because the House Select Committee has put Jan. 6 on the forefront of the public's mind.

Politico revealed that Donald Trump's lawyer Justin Clark spoke to the FBI, apparently throwing Bannon under the bus.
