JOHN SOLOMON, JUST THE NEWS:
“…There is significant evidence beginning to emerge of three things. One, that the Capitol Police, the NYPD, the FBI all had prior warning there was going to be an attack on the Capitol…
How did the leaders of Congress react to this intel? Did it get to them? Did Nancy Pelosi know? Secondly, if this was a planned attack, you can’t be a president of the United States being accused of inciting a spontaneous attack when it was planned days before. From an impeachment perspective and a factual security perspective, we’re learning things and we shouldn’t be in the posture of making final assignments of blame until we know what the facts are.
ERIC GREITENS, HOST: What are we learning? What’s the latest right now that we know from the interviews that we’re doing with investigators and with police?
JOHN SOLOMON, JUST THE NEWS: I’ve been told that some of the key security on the Capitol — the Sergeants of Arms of the House and Senate and the Capitol Police Chief, all three who have resigned — have had some contact, some sort of interviews with the Metropolitan Police Department which is the lead investigative agent now.
We FOIA’d those reports this morning and we got… a response almost instantly from the police department saying we’re not releasing the information and here’s why. It’s going to be personally embarrassing, privacy-invading to release the information. It doesn’t make sense. These were public officials. Their job was security. What they told police should be a matter of public record.
We’re going to fight for those documents. But something tells me what’s in those documents has some very, very big relevance to what happened on The Hill.
The question I have is what did Nancy Pelosi, what did Mitch McConnell know about these threats beforehand? If they didn’t know, it’s an intelligence failure of the police. If they did know, there’s something they didn’t tell us before we went into this impeachment round today…”
