Ari Melber reports on "The Beat" how President Donald Trump's pick to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics, E.J. Antoni, was among the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 – with the White House saying he was a "bystander" who wandered over after seeing coverage on the news.

E.J. Antoni, chief economist at the Heritage Foundation, has raised questions from economists and policymakers across the political spectrum for his views, experience and misunderstanding of economic data.

President Donald Trump claimed without evidence that the massive revisions to the latest jobs report constituted a “scam.” Yet revisions by the BLS were neither historic nor evidence of corruption.
