lots of people have it. so actually, i think it's really indear endeared the could. "erin burnett out front" starts now. the united states is in a constitutional crisis, trump invoking executive privilege for the first time to stop democrats in their tracks. is he daring them to impeach him? >> more breaking news, a republican lead senate intelligence committee subpoenas that trump junior. what exactly do they want from him right now? and standoff with iran, tensions escalating tonight. is the u.s. on a path to a new war? let's go "out front." good evening, i'm erin burnett. a constitutional crisis, those are the words of the chairman of the house judiciary committee jerry nadler tonight.

>> we are now in it. we are now in a constitutional crisis. >> it's a huge statement. coming from the man that has the power to launch impeachment from president trump. chairman nadler saying there is a crisis because attorney general barr is ignoring a subpoena, refusing to hand over the full mueller report and all of the evidence. >> we cannot have a government where all the information and executive branch where the people and congress are stone walled, there can be no higher stakes than this attempt to add more power to the executive branch to people. >> nadler's words to bill barr and the path to make history is only the second time on record the attorney general has been held in contempt but contempt is a word, not an action and this

is clearly a real fight that president trump wants to have. listen to the white house spokesperson sarah sanders respond to chairman nadler tonight. >> extremely outrageous and absu absurd. >> they like it. they relish this fight. nadler may be playing into trump's hands trump today invoking his first executive privilege to force the issue but blocking the release of the full mueller report. he wants to escalate the war and frankly, democrats are biting. >> every single day whether it's obstruction, obstruction, obstruction, obstruction of having people come to the table with subpoenas that and that's every single day, the president is making a case. he's becoming self-impeachment in terms of some of the things -- >> well let's --

>> self-impeachable. look, here is the thing. even if that's what the president wants nancy pelosi to say, if he thinks it helps him, the republican senate intelligence committee,over u obviously chaired subpoenaed the president's trump donald trump junior. they want to question trump junior about issues connected to the russia investigation. kaitlan collins is out front at the white house tonight and kaitlan, are there responses to nadler's comments? he knows full well what he's saying when he says these things. he says this is a constitutional cris crisis. >> reporter: the white house, erin, is saying the opposite. the democrats are forcing the president's hand and calling them unlawful and reckless and saying trump had no other option than to do this. this is the first time the president invoked executive privilege and the justice department is framing this as a protective measure so they have more time to go through documents that they can either

deem privileged or not. some democrats are not counting on that because they think the white house is eager to have the fight and are not going to hand over documents in the end of this. with the president invoking this privilege, it essentially gives the attorney general a shield that he can say if this does go to court, which erin, of course, it's looking like it's going to, he can say he ignored the subpoena because of what the president wanted him to do by invoking this privilege but the question that democrats have and even some skeptics around washington is whether or not they waived privilege by releasing, having those people sit down with the special counsel, releasing the mueller report already in the version that they did but the white house is insisting that the president has not done that yet. >> all right. thank you very much. i want to go straight now to democratic congressman david sicisi your committee voted to hold attorney general bill barr in contempt. as i said, it's a word, not an

action. can you explain why or what this accomplishes in practical terms, congressman? >> first of all, it's important to note the judiciary committee has a responsibility to do oversight and collect evidence and to hear from witnesses who testify under oath. it simply cannot be the case the executive branch is going to decide what witnesses will come and what documents will be produced because if we allow the executive branch to do that, it will essentially permit them to extinguish congressional oversight in the entirety. this is an important principal of the separation of powers and responsibilities. we issued a say ubpoena to the attorney general and he defied it and the next step, he judged it in contempt that will go to the floor and will also at the time it goes to the floor seek authorization to initiate a legal proceeding and to litigate and compel and relishes this fight because the truth is, the

democrats have an agenda for the people of this country and health care cost, raise family incomes, rebuild the infrastructure and take on the serious and deliver on those results. the president has no record to speak of and we have to do both things. we need to deliver on the promises we made and at the same time conduct responsibility oversight so that's why we had to move forward today. >> okay, you make your case why this is oversight but even republicans on your committee including congressman doug collins, they don't believe anything you just said. here is what he said about your vote to hold barr in contempt. >> they are wanting to paint the attorney general as the bad guy in this. they want to paint the attorney general as someone people can't trust because they don't like the findings or what came out of the mueller report. this is just a show. >> is this just a show? >> doug collins couldn't be more wrong. the attorney general in the quite is the lawyer for the people of this country that

takes an oath to the constitution. he's not defense counsel to the president. what do we know so far? he does a four-page summery that totally mischaracterizes the report to set the narrative for the president. he then says under oath he doesn't know what mr. mueller thought of the four-page report. and at the same time he never did so we know this is an attorney general whose acting for the president. the president said i want roy cohen and brings barr. he refuses to turnover the unredacted mueller report and supporting matermaterials. there is a lot of reason to question the integrity and objectivity and inpartiality of the attorney general. >> is this a --

>> this is only the second time in history the attorney general of the united states has been adjudicated in contempt of the congress of the united states. this is deadly serious. we have to move forward in a sober and serious way. look, we have got to get access to all of the information to make informed judgements in the case. the president and the minions cannot stone wall the american people and prevent congress from doing work and under tooing tfi truth, whatever it is. >> when you say this is contempt, second time in history, all of these things, i guess the question at this point is, if it is so dire and you have the power to launch impeachment proceedings, which you do in your committee, what is stopping you if this is so serious? >> look, there is no question and president nixon's impeachment, the third article was obstruction of congress. so there is no question at some point if the president's effort to stone wall and prevent us from getting an opinion

continues thanks may form an independent basis of obstruction. we have to collect all the evidence to make a fully informed judgement. we got part of the story in the mueller report that was the beginning of our work. we're asking for the balance of the report and materials. the ken starr investigation, when ken starr was done with the report, he delivered it to congress with 18 boxes of documents and grand jury proceedings. he went to the court to get permission to release the grand jury before congress asked for it. that the the model we should be following here. >> bill barr obviously has not done that. one crucial part will be to get bob mueller to testify. a few days away, it was said may 15th it was a done deal. now it unclear if he'll testify or not. where do things stand? will we hear from mueller or not? >> i hope we will. the original date the chairman set aside was may 15th. we hope he'll come before the committee. the president said it's up to the attorney general whether mr. mueller will appear. the attorney general said under

oath he had no on sdrbjection aw and behold he said he doesn't want mr. mueller to appear. if this report fully exonerated the president, wouldn't he be rushing to get him in front of the congress and american people? that's further evidence he doesn't want to testify. the american people deserve to hear from mr. mueller, to have him walk through this report, to explain to the american people what he found, the judgments he made, the decisions. we'll fight hard to get the special counsel before the judiciary committee. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. now john dean, counsel during watergate. he was careful to say dire, dire moment but not constitutional crisis. chairman nadler is there. he says this is a constitutional crisis, it's clear. not allowing oversight and blocking testimony and not providing the under lying information, it's all of those things. you, though, don't think we're quite there yet. so what gets us to a

constitutional crisis. >> to me, obviously different people had different definitions of those words. >> right. >> for me, it's always been when the constitutional process itself can't resolve a problem. for example, if the congress refuses to fund the government, you got a constitutional crisis. if a branch of government refuses to honor say the court order of one to the legislative or executive branch and they refuse to compile, that's a constitutional crisis. what -- >> so in other words, defying a subpoena is bad but not a crisis until a court says you must do it and they still defy it and we're not there yet? >> exactly. that the why the congressman described the process we're in now. >> so i want to play something else for you that chairman nadler said tonight. john, here he is. >> i'm not going to talk about impeachment but that may be the short answer is that may not be the best answer in the constitutional crisis.

>> okay. how do we make sense of that? if you're watching this as a person you're saying there is a constitutional crisis and i understand you're saying we're not there. if you're nadler, you say we're there. if this is a constitutional crisis and it is caused by president trump, how can they not move forward with impeachment proceedings? >> well, as has been mentioned several times, article three against nixon was for his failure to compile with any of the rerequests of congress duri the impeachment proceeding. he flat out stone walled them and they impeached him based on that. it was the weakest of the impeachment articles held against nixon. they were only voted on in the committee, never the full congress. it a tough case and what they want to do is build up the full case against this man rather than just go on a thin case. >> all right. john dean, thank you. >> important explanation there. next, breaking news, trump's

son subpoena tonight, the republican chair senate intelligence committee. republicans ordering trump junior to testify. why? plus trump bragging about losing over a billion dollars, the same man that said this. >> i have made billions of dollars making deals. >> more than anybody thought. >> i have more than anybody by far. >> what is in a name for the new royal baby? as a home instead caregiver, for everything that i give, i get so much in return. join our family of home instead caregivers and help make a world of difference. home instead senior care. apply today. with a lot of other young couples. then we noticed something...strange. oh, could you, uh, make me a burger? -poof -- you're a burger.

breaking news, the republican lead senate committee issuing a subpoena to trump junior. got the mueller report, they think there is more to talk about. sources telling cnn the subpoena was issued after weeks of unsuccessful talks and a source of don junior slamming the subpoena and is willing to answer written questions but no lawyer would agree to allow their client to participate in an obvious p.r. stand too cowardly to stand up to his boss and committee. pretty non-legal sounding response. let's get to the heart of this. what exactly is it they want

from don junior noting he's testified before and we have this giant mueller report, they think there is more. do you know what they are interested in. >> erin, it's important to note individuals have keyed on don junior's testimony in front of multiple committees on capitol hill. this committee has had over the period of the time, two years of investigation what they are liking looking into right now is two specific occurrences related to past testimony and that is first, the june 2016 meeting in trump tower with individuals claiming they had dirt on hillary clinton. if you go through the mueller report, you see while don junior said he only talked to two individuals about that meeting in advance, the mueller report says he talked to a broader group of individuals about that. there is also trump tower moscow. michael cohen testifying in front of the committee he briefed don junior in 2016 several times about that issue. don junior testified about that.

it's safe to say the committee called a number of individuals back to testify for a second time is likely looking into those issues and potentially more, as well, erin. >> so then, you know, we're hearing this source close to don junior come out with a statement, that the republican chairman of the committee, so-called republican senator too cowardly to stand up to democrats including the republican ranking member. so let get to the facts. did he did this on his own or mark warner or have support of the republicans? >> the idea that richard burr who is considered to be a rock group conservative with republican bona fide particularly by somebody whose committee is looking into. the difference between this committee and every other committee that the looked into this is it's bipartisan and republicans throughout the course of the two-plus year investigation have been unified about what the chairman richard

burr and warner decided to do. the idea burr would do this without the knowledge, republicans on the rank and file is pretty farfetched given how this investigation has gone throughout the course of the last two years but it is interesting to note, you're seeing republicans not on the committee lash out, rand paul on twitter, republican house minority leader kevin mceldercc referencing the case closed speech. it will be fascinating how it plays out. on the committee we'll see how it plays out. >> i want to go to white house correspondent for american urban radio network april ryan. on the facts of it, we don't know exactly what they want but we know a lot of things are on the table. trump towers moscow meetings, as well. should the president's son be worry snd. >> he should definitely be worried, erin? so he's already testified under

oath and has certain answers on the record and so those are by the way, at odds with much of the evidence that mueller discov discovered. so for example, the tower moscow deal what don junior said about his knowledge and timing of that is inconsistent with what is true and later what michael cohen charged. he by the way, doesn't have have things like executive privilege. he is not part of this administration. he can't benefit from those things. he does have exposure at a criminal level potentially. >> i want to talk to you more about thanks april. in terms of this happening and significance of it, don junior's team trying to insult the whole committee right by saying so-called republican and doing the coward and whatever they are calling richard burr however, you have republicans here unsure

what to do. la rand paul tweeting apparently the republican chair of the senate didn't get the memo from the majority lead they are case was closed and are referring to mi what mitch mcconnell said yesterday. >> that's right. >> this investigation went on for two years. it's finally over and the special counsel is closed. case closed. >> not clear that the senate committee that spent the most time investigating this chaired by the respective conservative republican richard burr. how significant is this? >> it's huge in the words of the president of the quite, erunite erin. case is not closed. we're seeing the fallout, contradictions, what mueller did say, you know, what was left is for there to be investigations by congress and senate, house

and senate, if it will. it looks like that is happening. don junior is thumbing his nose, doing what his father is doing, doing what the attorney general is doing but again, he has no say so in the midst of this, no protecti protection, no safety net. he's walking a tight rope and this has huge repercussions. one, it goes against the republicans are actually going against the senate majority leader who he said case closed, which is not closed and also going against the president of the united states wishes and you have the president's son, his name sake going possible perjury or what else. this has a lot of repercussions and we'll see what happens down the road. >> i know we don't know but when you think about this, which avenues do you think this could be about? obviously, there is possible perjury, what donald trump junior said under oath, which is

inconsistent with the mueller report. for example, when he said in, you know, to the senate judiciary committee, he was asked who he told about the moscow tower meeting and the mueller report says he told a totally much broader group of people so there is inconsistencies that could be perjury. is there something new? is there something else? about those more than a dozen cases that have been referred out from mueller? how big is the risk for don junior? >> so, the risk, as i mentioned before is big. as you said, he -- it appears from basically his previous testimony in the mueller report that he may have purgered himself already. i think there are potential avenues in the 12 farmed out cases or the new york attorney general's, you know, investigation they are doing on the trump organization that he might get caught up in things involving financial shanaenanig of the trump organization. where the intelligence committee will go is about the

intelligence portion, the counter intelligence portion of the investigation that we have not seen and his contacts and you know what was going on in russia. >> april, of course, we're hearing don junior may consider not showing up, which would be incredible in and of itself to not show up or taking the fifth, which would at least give you a reason to do that. of course, when it comes to taking the fifth, we know what his father thinks about people who do that. let me let him tell us. >> you see, the mob takes the phil. if you're innocent, why you taking the fifth amendment? when you have your staff taking the fifth amendment, taking the fifth so they are not prosecuted, i think it's disgraceful. >> i guess he'd say that doesn't apply this time. >> disgraceful. >> yeah, it doesn't apply because it's his son, it's not someone in the administration, but the president actually makes my point. the point i want to say is donald junior and the rest even

bill barr and the president, they are not acting like people who are innocent. if there is nothing to hide and the american public wants answers and information, why not give it? why not give it? the president talks about transparency. there is still such confusion. people are not certain about what is said in this mueller report because the president says one thing, attorney general barr says another and mueller is saying something else. donald junior is not acting like an innocent person. >> thank you both. >> next, democrats tiptoeing, tiptoeing, tiptoeing closer to impeachment.> next, democrats t tiptoeing, tiptoeing closer to impeachment. >> we're inching towards it. >> do you think the president should be impeached? >> we're on the road. >> inching. should they pull the trigger? a republican that voted to impeach clinton weighs in next and trump bragging about losing reportedly a billion dollars as a businessman. two people who know exactly what was going on inside trump's businesses at that time are out front.

been using saying the party is getting closer to launching proceedings against president trump. >> i think we're inching closer to it every day the president has a blanket privilege or saying he's going to obstruct the congressional investigation. yeah, for me, we're inching towards it. >> we have lawful responsibilities, constitutional responsibilities to engage in, one of which is possibly impeachment. >> do you think the president should be impeached? >> we're on that road right now and we certainly are closer after the mueller report. >> so will they do it? and is that exactly what trump and president biden and clinton santor totorum and candidate fr pennsylvania that voted to impeach president clinton. one, we're on the road.

this is a lot of on the road thinking about inching, at what point do they say come on, pull the trigger? >> self-impeachment would describe the president, the house, the committee voted to contempt citation. what their democrats are setting up is they will do lawful oversight. if the administration cooperates, great. if president trump makes an overly broad assertion of executive privilege, if he refuses to allow for lawful oversight, they will be in a situation where impeachment is the only option because of the choices the president made. >> senator? >> it's obviously not the on option. eric holder with held information and the prior administration on a couple occasions and they didn't try to impeach president obama. they went to court and the court found they had to release the informati information. that's the path forward on a document request. it not impeachment. >> senator, it's not just for a document request.

it the trump administration's across the board assertion. they are not going to compile with any lawful oversight activities. when the obama administration turned over 7,000 pages, you called it arrogance on the path like nixon. we're seeing something far bolder and broader getting in the way of oversight. it will be up to the trump administration. >> are they trying to move the bar? literally they get this report and it's unredacted and you got more than 500 members of the d.o.j. saying that's enough to impeach. you don't need this other stuff. when you use it, does it sound like you keep wanting to ask for things because you don't want to do it? >> of course they don't want to do it. who wants to have an impeachment proceeding? is it the only way for congress

to fulfill the constitutional responsibility of oversight, of compliance with the law? that's the challenge and that's the conflict that we're headed towards here. >> okay. so senator, back to you, you have a little bit of ink inconsistency to answer for or tell us why it wrong. 1998 voted to impeach president bill clinton and here is what you said at the time. >> removing a president during some of the most pros tperous american times and conviction standards. that's a very serious burden that -- >> okay. how is that consistent with you say saying there is no reason? >> i didn't say there is no

reason. there was a special counsel and the special counsel said the president purr ergered his sel.- i can tell you that was not an easy thing to do because we knew we wouldn't be successful and number two, the president isn't popular. that's a tough thing, i think nancy pelosi learned from that that maybe even though he may deserve it and i don't believe the president does in this case, it's not maybe the right thing to do. >> is senator, let 3me go into that. you have this investigation and there was nothing impeachable found except lying about having sexual relations with monica lewinsky. you have 500 members of the doj saying it's clear he obstructed justice and committed multiple felonies at the heart of the matter of what was being

investigated. >> the person responsible for that did not find that. you have 500 people -- how many of those -- >> tell me what he found was a separate issue. he said i did not -- you guys decide. >> that's right. he didn't find. the reality is, those 500 people, how many dealt with an obstruction case with the president? i would suspect not 500 or close to that. this is a very unusual case. and to go out and i think was highly irregular and not helpful for them to go out and make this claim when most of them don't know what they are talking about. this is a very difficult case. nancy pelosi is trying to thread the needle. i think what she's trying to do is impeach the president without impeaching him. basically going through these investigations, causing him to divert all his attention on this issue and have this impeachment in a sense be done at the election in november. >> ron?

>> look, i agree it's a difficult case and say the mueller reports i'm leaving this to congress to deficide it may impeachable taking money from foreign governments. so i think congress has a lot of hard questions to ask, ask the questions if the trump administration won't cooperate, we may wind up on the road to impeachment. we're not there yet. i think we get closer and closer to it every day. >> thank you both. next trump reportedly losing more than a billion dollars in ten years. did he cheat? break the law? two people that worked with trump at that time knew him incredibly well. we'll talk about it. a top trump advisor wanted to take on iran. could that put the u.s. on a path to a real war?

tonight, president trump defends his big losses. they say he lost more than a billion dollars. now, that was more than anybody else in two years it was twice as much as the next biggest loser in the country. the president tweeting in response in part, quote, he

always wanted to show losses for real estate deals. all did. barbara, former executive vice president of the trump organization and author of "all alone on the 68th floor," how one woman changed construction and chief operating officer of trump plaza casino and hotel. both of you have professional and personal knowledge of the president working with him during the period the tax records cover. barbara, you worked with him during this time and see $1 billion in losses. the president said this is the way it done, it was sport. what do you say? >> first of all, my reaction to that when i saw it, i was supposed. '85 he was just coming off trump tower and that was a tremendous moneymaker for him and that was a big moneymaker. i don't know if the casinos were draining him but i couldn't see where he was losing money for anything at that point. >> jack, you were working for trump at the time and know the

casino side. what that was like? did you think when you saw a billion dollars losses? >> it was shocking, erin, and believe me, it was no sport going on in the time i worked for trump. all of those losses are tied to one thing and that's the depth that to man took on in many, many of his deals. he did bad deals. he did it with the airline as an example. you know, that crushed him. he also did it at the taj ma hall. he had $800 million worth of debt at 14% interest which literally killed the casinos at atlantic city. my property, we had $100 million in free cash flow a year for -- out of that business. because of what he did with the taj ma hall, he devastated the business and it eventually went back result. so it's a series of a lot of bad deals. >> so barbara, do you think this was sort of look, i read every

page of the tax code or my lawyers do, obviously, or would he cross the line? >> well, certainly he would cross the line. the question was raised, was he the worst businessman or the worst cheat? definitely the worst cheat. he's not the worst businessman. he's not a good businessman but as jack says, when he started getting involved with the plaza and airline and, you know, the boat and the taj ma hall. that the when he really started losing money. that's why i said i qualify the beginning, '85, '86 and later. >> so jack, according to the "new york times", year after year during this time, trump was a loser. he was losing more money than nearly any other taxpayer in the quite. in two of the years he was the biggest loser in the united states by a factor of two. okay? he despises losers. here he is. >> this group of major loses.

>> they are nothing but tlhugs and criminals and predators and that the right, losers. we have a bunch of losers. she's got a temperament of a loser. i know a lot of words but somehow loser is so nice. it just a good word. >> except for when it applies to him, jack? how much do you think it irks him to hear outed as such a loser in his word? >> oh, i think that the article today was probably devastating for him, and i think that what you eluded to is he was identified as the biggest loser in the united states for most of these years. nobody lost more money from a tax standpoint. so yeah, i think he's, you know, angry tonight and i think he's going to deflect as much as he can. >> so bar bbara, it goes agains everything he said. he doesn't say i lost a billion

dollars. he sold himself this way as a winner. >> i have made billions of dollars in business making deals. i'm self-funding my campaign. i'm putting up my own money. i have more money than all of them. turned out i'm much richer than anybody thought. i say i've made billions and billions of dollars dealing with people all over the world. >> it's an image barbara he cultivated on "the apprentice." here is that. >> i'm the largest real estate developer in new york. i own buildings all over the place. model agencies, the miss universe pageant, jetliners, gulf courses, casinos and private resorts like mar-a-lago. >> did that all fall apart? >> first of all, non-sense that he was the biggest real estate developer. he was not even on the radar. he was just had a couple buildings. this is not a big developer in new york.

does it fall apart? i think that he came out big time and said look, i used the system. i'm so smart. i gamed the system. his people are going to go for that. they are going to believe that. so you got the people, the rest of us who know and then no he's the biggest liar in the world and the people trying to win over are not going to change. >> all right. thank you. and next, tensions escalating between the united states and iran. one of trump's top officials john bolton, is he about to get what he wanted? >> and the world gets the first look at archie. >> archie. >> little archie. >> prince archie. when you get a wireless plan,

wouldn't it be great to get a phone too? switch to sprint and get an unlimited plan with the samsung galaxy s10e included for just $35 a month. it's a big deal.
