On Saturday Donald Trump told a crowd of supporters in Dayton, Ohio, that a loss in the 2024 election would result in a “bloodbath.” His campaign was quick to claim his warning only applied to the US auto industry, but as former Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Matthews, who worked in the Trump administration for 7 months, said, the comment is “a warning call to his supporters he’s telling them kind of marching orders almost.”
Matthews was a guest on “Inside Jen Psaki” Monday night when she was asked about her former boss’ behavior. Psaki and Matthews agreed the comment deserves to be considered carefully—and taken very seriously.

Donald Trump took aim at the Jan. 6 committee during a speech in Arizona Friday evening, painting the ongoing investigation into his actions on the day of the Capitol insurrection as a conspiratorial witch hunt designed to permanently blacklist him from politics.
“If I announced that I was not going to run any longer for political office, the persecution of Donald Trump would immediately stop,” he said. “They’re coming after me because I’m standing up for you.”

The January 6th Committee’s primetime hearing drew an estimated 17.7 million viewers, an 11 dropoff from the 20 million who watched the committee’s last nighttime event in June.
The figures from Nielsen are across 10 networks. The committee’s June 9 hearing, kicking off its series, drew about 20 million on 11 networks.
Nielsen said that each of the eight hearings averaged 13.1 million, while the two primetime hearings averaged 18.9 million. The daytime hearings averaged 11.2 million.
Those are solid albeit not blockbuster numbers. The committee’s hearings, though, have commanded news cycles, and moments have gone viral on social media. That happened on Thursday, when the committee played a clip of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo) running from the Senate floor as the mob approached on January 6. Hours earlier, Hawley had raised his fist in solidarity with the protesters.
The highest viewed daytime hearing was on June 28, drawing 13.2 million. That was the hearing featuring the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson,...

The man being compared to Clark Kent at Thursday night’s Jan. 6 hearing has been mostly identified.
Politico profiled the suited-up man sporting lookalike glasses similar to those that Superman’s normal persona wears when he is on deadline for The Daily Planet.
The man is the “boyfriend of former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews,” a person familiar with the matter told Politico.

Twitter scrutinized the unknown man, also described as “the man behind Pottinger (Trump’s former deputy national security adviser),” making Clark Kent a trending topic. Users speculated his relationship status after Andy Cohen tweeted what many were thinking.
Many expected the mystery man to transform into Superman, especially because he made motions that could lead to discarding his glasses and suit. Many concluded that he was...

When the House Jan. 6 committee announced that their next hearing would provide a minute-by-minute account of what Donald Trump was doing during his 187 minutes of inaction as the insurrection unfolded, it sounded like the premise of a bad action movie. What they provided was certainly a thriller, but of an absolutely infuriating kind. The hearing presented such a devastating indictment of the former president’s dereliction of duty to the Constitution and the nation that only those completely drunk on the Maga Kool-Aid could ignore its findings.
This ninth edition of the weeks-long series and final primetime hearing of the summer needed to deliver the goods, and it did so in spades. Like its predecessors, it didn’t just offer new information to devastating effect; it also made us reassess what we already knew. It’s no secret that Trump spent those 187 minutes fiddling while the Capitol burned.

The Jan. 6 committee’s eighth hearing focused on what former President Donald Trump was doing — or, more accurately, what he wasn’t doing — during the 187 minutes that elapsed between his speech at the rally that preceded the Capitol attack and when he finally tweeted, and tweeted affectionately, for his supporters who had ransacked the halls of Congress to “go home.”
The biggest takeaway wasn’t simply that Trump didn’t do anything to stop the attack; it was, as Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) put it at the top of the hearing,...

The Jan. 6 committee began its eighth hearing by laying out how former President Trump abdicated his duty by declining to take action as his supporters were attacking the Capitol. The hearing featured clips of several witnesses testifying both to the efforts of those around the former president to get him to do something about the riot, and to Trump’s insistence that nothing should be done. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley was one of those who couldn’t believe Trump failed to respond.

Updated: In her closing remarks Thursday, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-wy) said that “Donald Trump made a purposeful choice to violate his oath of office.”
The committee went all in on the use of often harrowing — and at times humorous — video and audio clips, some of which quickly went viral and will likely be replayed in the next news cycle. They all were directed at the hearing’s main narrative: Well aware of that was happening, Donald Trump did not fail to act during the 187 minutes between leaving the Ellipse and telling the mob to go home. He chose not to act,” said Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-il) at the start of the hearing.

The Jan. 6 committee’s public hearings were expected to wrap up on Thursday, with a final, primetime hearing during which the panel will delve into what former President Trump was doing as the attack on the Capitol unfolded last Jan. 6. But Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) announced at the start of the hearing that the committee will hold additional hearings in September.
The committee has so far held seven public hearings that have jam-packed with damning revelations about Trump and his team’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The January 6th Committee has surprised many in Washington, D.C., by pulling off the unexpected — not just with new revelations but in the way that it has methodically laid out a narrative of Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the election results.
The committee has presented its case as if each hearing was episodic — in brisk, well-produced two-hour chunks that make heavy use of video, audio and graphics.
We’ve seen video of former Attorney General William Barr calling Trump’s claims of election fraud “bullsh*t.” There was the photo of then-Vice President Mike Pence, in a secure location at the Capitol, watching video of Trump praising the mob. We heard a “surprise” witness in Cassidy Hutchinson, the aide to chief of staff Mark Meadows, as she described in detail what she saw and heard on January 6th, most vivid being her story of Trump trying to grab...

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-ms), who has led the January 6th Committee hearings, said that he has tested positive for Covid and will miss Thursday’s session.
Thompson said that he has been experiencing mild symptoms but will be isolating for the next several days.
“Covid-19 is still present, and we must do everything we can to fight this virus,” Thompson said.
Thursday’s hearing will be its second in primetime, and will focus on President Donald Trump’s failure to act for 187 minutes as the Capitol siege was unfolding. The witnesses at the hearing reportedly will be Matt Pottinger, who served as Trump’s deputy national security adviser, and Sarah Matthews, former deputy press secretary, per CNN.
Committee members Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-il) and Rep. Elaine Luria (D-va) are expected to take a central role in the proceedings. They each appeared on Sunday shows to preview what to expect.
