00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:05.179
Caribbean present the select committee to investigate the January six

00:00:05.179 --> 00:00:08.480
attack. The Select committee is meeting this evening to

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:12.640
consider a report on a resolution recommending that the House

00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:18.250
of Representatives find Jeffrey Bossert clark in contempt of Congress

00:00:18.539 --> 00:00:22.480
for refusal to comply with a subpoena Duly issued by

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.510
the select committee to investigate the January six attack on

00:00:26.510 --> 00:00:29.750
the United States capitol a year ago. Right now

00:00:30.739 --> 00:00:34.789
, while Mr Clark was bound by the oath all

00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.159
in all out attack on the constitution was underway,

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.560
the former president was waging a campaign to overturn the

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.259
results of the election. His allies were looking for

00:00:46.259 --> 00:00:49.929
ways to get around the Constitution and keep him in

00:00:49.929 --> 00:00:54.329
power. It appears Mr Clark was central to that

00:00:54.329 --> 00:00:58.659
effort. Jeffrey Clarke was an Assistant Attorney general.

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.020
According to multiple sources. Mr Clark was asked by

00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:04.909
then President trump to take over the role of attorney

00:01:04.909 --> 00:01:08.650
general in part so he could issue a series of

00:01:08.650 --> 00:01:14.409
letters falsely suggesting that the Department of Justice believed the

00:01:14.409 --> 00:01:19.209
presidential election may have been stolen. As the chairman

00:01:19.219 --> 00:01:23.250
indicated in the last hour, Mr Clark's attorney has

00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:26.730
told us that Mr Clark would be willing to appear

00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:30.599
at another deposition And that he plans to assert his

00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.739
5th amendment rights against self incrimination. Mr Chairman on

00:01:34.739 --> 00:01:37.560
this vote. There are nine eyes and zero knows

00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.049
the motion is agreed to
