The January 6 Committee reveals stunning texts from several Fox News hosts including Sean Hannity, GOP Officials and Don Jr. to Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, begging for the President to make a statement in order to quell the Capitol riot.

Plus U.S. Covid cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are on the rise with the Omicron variant now reported in 32 states; California Governor Gavin Newsom says he will use the legal tactics of Texas’ abortion ban to implement gun control and the January 6 committee votes to hold Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress, with a full House vote expected as early as tomorrow.
