UPDATE: Several key pieces of new evidence stand out to me in this Ivanka Trump letter from the Jan. 6 committee.

1) Staff viewed Ivanka Trump's intervention as violence unfolded as a last-ditch effort to get Trump to act.

2) KELLOGG told the panel that staff advocadted against Trump doing a live briefing amid the attack because they were worried about him going off-message.

3) Sean Hannity urged press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Jan. 7 to tell Trump to stop discussing the stolen election and that efforts to invoke the 25h Amendment or Impeach him were real. politico.com/news/2022/01/2…

4) Major quesiton in light of last night's Supreme Court win for the Jan. 6 committee: Will it receive the first, unused takes of Trump's video calling off the rioters?

5) Katrina Pierson described some people in Trump's orbit as "crazies", per texts given to the committee. A source familiar with the texts said Trump allies often used the phrase to describe Alex Jones, Ali Alexander and QAnon backers. politico.com/news/2022/01/2…
