January 6 Committee Wants to Ask McCarthy About Trump’s State of Mind During and After Riot

The House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol wants Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to voluntarily provide information to the panel. The committee is seeking details about former President Donald Trump’s state of mind during the attack and in the weeks after. Norm Eisen was counsel to House Democrats during Trump’s first impeachment and is a former White House Ethics Czar under President Obama. He tells Anderson Cooper there’s “plenty for the committee to learn” from McCarthy but “whether he cooperates is another question.”
