The House Select Committee on the January 6 insurrection is focusing on Donald Trump's alleged pressure on the Justice Department. Representative Adam Schiff claims to have evidence of Trump's direct involvement in a scheme to use "fake" electoral college ballots. The hearings feature testimony from former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen regarding efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Following the resignation of Bill Barr, the acting Attorney General's past comments on "malign foreign influence" are examined. The "Three Cs" framework—coercive, covert, and corrupt activities—is used to define how foreign governments might interfere in U.S. political processes.

The hosts thank high-tier donors, including Jeffrey Rosen and Gunnar Walter. Walter shares an anecdote about the difference in mask culture between San Francisco and Portland, where he was yelled at for not wearing a mask outdoors.
