Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Tom Dupree gave his take on Tuesday’s January 6 committee hearings with Neil Cavuto on “Your World.”

TOM DUPREE: Yeah. It’s really interesting just seeing this whole timeline playing out. And today, of course, we heard a lot about that meeting at the White House that seemed to have gotten a little bit out of hand, to say the least.

It’s also interesting that the president clearly had some decision points here that many of his cabinet secretaries, senior officials were saying, look, after December 14, you know, this election is over. It’s time to acknowledge defeat. It’s time to move on. This election is done.
