The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack is preparing a primetime finale, with a focus on the 187 minutes during which former President Trump “refused to act to defend the Capitol as a violent mob stormed the Capitol," according to committee aides. Maryland Democratic Congressman and House Select Committee member Jamie Raskin tells Anderson Cooper about snippets of video he says they will play from Trump speaking on January 7. Congressman Raskin also raised the possibility that there may be more hearings later on because “new material and new evidence is surfacing all the time.”
Plus, the Justice Department rests its contempt of Congress case against Steve Bannon, a former aide to President Trump. CNN Political Correspondent Sara Murray reports from court. Plus, CNN Chief Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin and journalist Joshua Green discuss the latest developments.
