Trump allies hit with subpoenas from Jan. 6 committee

Tonight on The Last Word: The House January 6th Committee issues subpoenas for four Trump allies. Congressman Adam Schiff, a member of that committee, joins Lawrence O’Donnell. Norm Ornstein, John Heilemann and Zerlina Maxwell analyze the political significance of the subpoenas. Plus, Republicans are risking crashing the economy and creating a depression by not voting to raise the debt limit. The Chairman of the House Budget Committee John Yarmuth (D-KY) explains why the U.S. should just abolish the debt limit. Plus, Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) gives an update on the infrastructure negotiations. Also, the “Cyber Ninjas” are expected to release the results of their fake election audit in Arizona. Democratic Arizona State Senate Minority Leader Rebecca Rios breaks down just how phony this “fraudit” has been. And 24-year-old Maxwell Alejandro Frost, who is running to become the first Democratic Generation Z member of Congress, gets tonight’s last word.
