Watch this Morning Joe segment with Willie Geist, Jonathan Lemire and Mike Barnicle as they recap and assess the first prime-time hearing from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 US Capitol attack, which detailed the findings of the panel’s investigation and unveiled new video from closed-door depositions of members of former President Donald Trump’s team and the violence at the Capitol. Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, who is serving as the panel’s vice chair, stated that former President Trump had a “sophisticated, seven-point plan” to overturn the 2020 presidential election over the course of several months while she explained how the panel plans to use its future hearings to tackle each part of the scheme. “For anyone to view what we saw last night – and, you’re right, it was hard to view—and then to have these same, specific members of Congress who get up and talk publicly, as you just referenced, ‘we have to support the police’ in the midst of that chaos. I mean, this was a planned attack on the foundations of our democracy,” says Barnicle about the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
