a white house correspondent alan fischer alum is or perhaps was one of donald trump's biggest supporters and he was at the white house today might we expect this to impact his future. well let's be honest we've all been watching the twitter feed of donald trump for the last couple of hours expect him to announce that bilbo has been fired because we know that a couple of weeks ago when the head of this cyber security election unit said this was the most secure election in american history which went against what donald trump has been saying for days he ended up being fired so the fact that bill barr who of course remember before the election was telling everyone that mail and voting was right for fraud is no saying we can't find any examples of that you would think that donald trump wouldn't be best please not only that the timing of these comments coming as you say just a couple of hours before he was due to hold what was described as a routine meeting at the white house all seem to suggest that bill barr might end

up being shown the door now what's interesting is that since he was appointed has really become known as donald trump's main lawyer rather than the u.s. is main lawyer by critics they point to a number of cases that he's been involved in 1st of all michael flynn you remember him national security advisor pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. was looking at being convicted of that but suddenly the department of justice decided it was withdrawing the charges that surprised the judge he ended up getting a pardon from donald trump then was roger stone very close don't come he was convicted in court and then the department of justice sentiment to the judge saying look we think that you're going to sentence him for way too much time you've got to rethink that ended up his sentence was commuted by donald trump and then there is the miller report the 1st time we had about what was in the middle of report is when william barr stood up and gave his his reading of what he had seen and the report critics said that he put

a spin on that that made donald trump look not quite so bad so for all of these reasons you would think that he would be very close to donald trump but the fallen over the last couple months not least because donald trump really wanted a pre-election investigation into brock obama particularly to. joe biden go back 4 years jim comi the lead to the head of the f.b.i. at that point announced an investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails that he was reopening not just a couple of weeks before the election donald trump like that plea thought he did well there he wanted the same thing to happen here this time bill barr had nothing to offer so said no so that's why these comments are surprising giuliani rudy giuliani donald trump's legal team they're saying look the department of justice hasn't conducted an investigation they haven't spoken to witnesses they haven't ordered the machines therefore the attorney general isn't speaking from a position of no let's hear what bill barr saying he's saying quite simply that we have not seen any evidence of widespread voter fraud don't transfer him talking

about it for weeks he's been doing so without evidence now here's the country's top lawman saying no mr president you're wrong. thank you for that white house correspondent alan fischer. saying an action official in the u.s. state of georgia has angrily president donald trump for failing to condemn threats of violence to election stuff mr president. you're not condemned these actions or this language. senators you're not condemned this language or these actions. this has to stop we need you to step up if you take a position of leadership show something. it's too much yes fight for every legal vote go do your due process we encourage you to use your 1st amendment spawn. death threats physical grounds. intimidation. it's too much

it's not right. they have lost the moral high ground implying that it is that it was going to harass now. there's a new south there with its name on it. it's not like i got police protection outside my house fine you know i took a higher profile job i get a secretary and for officer wife to go to this kid took at jamba. he just took a job. and it's just wrong. mr president. it looks like you like we've lost it in georgia we're investigating there's always a possibility i'll get in you have the right to go to the courts but you don't have the ability to do it need to step up and say this is stop and smart people who commit potential acts of violence so much and get hurt someone's going to get shot some are going to get killed. and it's not right. president donald trump has fundraised more than $150000000.00 since the election after appealing to election

ford claims the washington post a new york times are reporting he raised the funds maybe from grassroots starts trying campaign has declined comment but has sent about $500.00 post-election fundraising pitches to support its asking for money to fight voter fraud some contributions will pay for election related lawsuits and to pay off campaign debt and to the republican national committee but as of mid november a 75 percent of all funds have been siphoned off to save america that's a leadership pac which is a committee which pulls funds which can be used for trump's political activities going forward where jason stanley is a professor of philosophy at yale who is the author of both how propaganda works and how fascism works he says trump's constant accusations of corruption by others are an attempt to distract from his own corruption. this is the kind of flow populism we're seeing all over the world now where people claim they speak for the people and against the elites yet they comment to office enrich themselves enrich

their supporters slash taxes for the wealthy and it's a kind of folk populism that frankly i hope we're seeing the end up soon and hopefully we'll have some real populist movements that can help ordinary working people i think trump seeks a dynasty he also seeks he's also in deep amount of debt so he needs to have some post-election means of. creek. working off this bond he adds to his supporters he has an incredible bond too with his supporters who he's convinced. are he's convinced that them that he is their voice he is their representation he is the only person they can trust and that's tens of millions of americans and that's a very powerful group that you can then leverage for various purposes perhaps he doesn't him self know what those purposes are but we haven't seen

a president with that kind of loyalist to bond to tens of millions of americans in recent years so he could start his own media empire he could do a number of things here. well u.s. president and next joe biden has a congress to pass a grown virus a package that's been stalled for months he spoke while unveiling his economic team to deal with the crisis a bipartisan group of lawmakers unveiled a $990000000000.00 covert 19 relief bill aimed at breaking the long deadlock surviving is hopeful it will pass but says his team is focused on the next session of congress thanksgiving right now before congress to come together and pass a robust package for relief to address these urgent needs but any package passed in a lame duck session is likely to be at best just a start my transition team is already working on what i'll put forward in the next congress to address the multiple crises refacing especially are economic and

cultural crisis kristensen amy has more now from wilmington delaware. well as joe biden himself said it's a team of nominees that come from very different backgrounds but share his economic outlook his economic vision for the united states and we heard a lot about that today a real emphasis on helping working class americans particularly minorities and groups that have been hard hit by the pandemic and one common theme throughout all of these nominees is that they've advocated for stronger government response in the past for example cecilia rouse you mentioned her she will serve as the chair of the economic advisory council of economic advisers and she wrote a letter months ago calling for more action on the part of government to help with the pandemic some of the people who will be under her on that council jared

bernstein heather blue she progressive democrats that you know called for targeting black unemployment at the federal reserve they called for increasing the minimum wage so progressive proposals that really involve more government involvement more government action to help improve the situation and of course janet yellen who's got 20 years of experience at the federal reserve alone and. she also is a strong proponent of fiscal stimulus an action to as she put it stop what would turn into a downward spiral. israel's alternate prime minister and defense minister have any again says his posse will back in opposition bill in favor of dissolving parliament dances he's lost patience with benjamin netanyahu and is ready to break their alliance of a lot of it your budget isn't passed immediately the move could force israel's full fiction at less than 2 years. no you really are slow yet because surely you know i had no illusions in regard to netanyahu i knew his record as

a serial promise violator but i thought that the citizens of israel are more important than any leader and that netanyahu will rise to the occasion it didn't happen netanyahu promised unity he promised netanyahu said there will be no tricks he promised responsible management of the corona crisis and the public is paying the price he didn't lie to me he lied to you. still ahead on. american officials made to decide who will get the coronavirus vaccine 1st. mexico's president celebrates his 1st 2 years in power look at what's changed and why is critics of treating his claims skepticism. how either the weather slouchy dry for china on the cold side having said that
