"Hit Against American Democracy": Rep. Raskin on Purge of Secret Service Texts for Jan. 6 Committee

Ahead of the eighth hearing of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, we speak with Congressmember Jamie Raskin, a member of the select committee, and get an update on how the Secret Service has only provided a single text exchange from the insurrection and may have purged the messages after oversight officials requested them. "We want all of the evidence, we're determined to get all of the evidence, but the picture is very clear at this point about what happened. This was an organized hit against American democracy in order to overturn a presidential election," says Raskin. The committee will hold its eighth hearing on Thursday.
