>> thank you. and this is "don lemon tonight." i'm laura coates in for don. it is another big news night, lots of new developments in the wake of the fire storm over revelations that the justice department seized targets from apple. now we're learning the doj's inspector general when investigate. senator chuck schumer and dick durbin are calling for former attorneys general bill barr and jeff sessions to testify before the judiciary committee. but they're going to need the support of at least one republican, which, frankly, hardly is a sure thing. that as democrats on the intel committee want apple to look into whether any other members were targeted. bill barr tells politico he wasn't aware of any congressmen's record being sought, not while he was attorney general and all of that, well, brings me to this

point. richard nixon had an enemies list. donald trump apparently thought he had an enemy department. and the irony is not lost on any of us. trump cursed leakers. >> and, frankly, i think it's disgraceful, and i think it was leaks from the intelligence committee, house -- house version. i think they leaked it, schiff leaked it in my opinion. he shouldn't be leaking things like that. they ought to stop the leaking from intelligence committee . if they don't stop it, i can't imagine that people are not going to go after them and find out what's happening. >> and then his department of justice used leak investigations to target the free press and his perceived political enemies. trump cursed the department of justice's special counsel robert mueller, and the house

impeachment managers for what he called a witch hunt. >> i think that really hurts our country and it really hurts our relationship with russia. >> we've been hit by fake -- fake investigations, fake scandals, fake impeachments. we've had -- we've had so many things -- the witch hunt. it turned out to be a phony witch hunt and they should've known it the first day. they did know it the first day, but it's the deep state. >> but a leak against democrats and the press, that's a different story and one we're going to learn a lot more about. now, he vilified fisa warrants. now his government pursued the communications of some of his so-called political enemies.

subpoenaing data from team obtain records from reporters or congressmen, even a minor child. he's whined about being censored, canceled, silenced. meanwhile, they were demanding absolute gag orders, preventing apple from telling the doj what anybody was up, to preventing cnn from telling cnn the government wanted her records. the media, the democrats, his opponents, his predecessor, and attorney general barr, well, he played cutesy with semantics. >> attorney general barr, has the president or anyone at the white house asked or suggested you open an investigation of anyone? >> i wouldn't -- i wouldn't -- >> yes or no?

>> could you repeat that question. >> i will repeat it. has the president or anyone at the white house ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone, yes or no, please, sir? >> the president or anybody else? >> seems you would remember something like that and be able to tell us. >> i'm trying to grapple with the word suggest. there have been discussions of matters out there that -- they have not asked me to open an investigation. >> perhaps they suggested? >> i don't know. i wouldn't say suggest. >> hinted? >> i don't know. >> inferred? you don't know? >> here are my humble suggestions for attorney general merrick garland. the news that the doj's inspector general when investigate the seizure of a data from lawmakers and staff and family members, that's a good start. i suggest you reassure the

public the department of justice doesn't seek to undermine a coequal branch's ability to check an abuse of power, and i humbly suggest you ensure that no one is above the law, even within the department whose job it is to enforce the law, because the stakes are too high to play cutesy or have words like the department of justice come down to semantics. i want to bring in cnn white house correspondent john harwood. glad to see you on a night like this. john, you covered the trump white house. we knew based on trump's twitter feed and his rallies exactly who he thought his enemies were. and now it appears that the doj was weaponized to go after those enemies. i'm talking about democratic lawmakers and their aides, their families and media organizations. i mean, he was very public about his enemies list, and now here

we are. yet it's just so unprecedented, even with all of those tells, is it not? >> laura, the remarkable thing about president trump and his administration was how openly he corrupted the processes of government. remember when he was a candidate. russia, are you listening? go get those emails. as president, suggesting china open investigations of hunter biden, attacking jeff sessions, his attorney general for recusing himself in the russia probe, firing jim comey, the fbi director, saying it was because he thought russia was a hoax, which, of course, it was not, attacking his vice president for upholding the constitutional processes counting the votes after the 2020 election. donald trump didn't hide it. richard nixon didn't publish his enemies list, but donald trump put it right out there, suggested that the legal process should be deployed against his enemies. it's no surprise, as we learned -- and we're going to

learn more as the months go on, that his justice department not only targeted reporters, who cast critical scrutiny on him, but also on members of the opposing party who were bringing to light his cooperation with russia, his welcoming help with russia, as robert mueller later showed in his report. >> you know, it's such a shame because here we are trying to in many respects have the public reassured about the integrity at the justice department, and just a few months into the tenure of a new attorney general, the shadow looms large of the last one in a really profound way. attorney general barr is telling politico, john, that he wasn't even aware of any congressman's record being sought in a leak case. is that really plausible that something as serious as trying to pursue the private records of sitting congressmen on the intelligence committee wouldn't have crossed bill barr's desk?

>> i think that's precisely why members of congress want to subpoena bill barr to get him to answer that under oath, rather than a phone call with politico. the justice department inspector general is also going to look into this. bill barr does not have high credibility. he misled the country about the contents of the mueller report when it came out, and he was recently admonished by a federal judge for misleading the court about the processes that toledo his handling of the report. bill barr does not have a strong record of credibility, and he's going to face some more scrutiny over exactly what the decision-making here was. it's not surprising that jeff sessions might not have known. he recused himself from the russia probe when this apparently was undertaken in 2017. it is not plausible, though, that some other political appointee, perhaps rod rosenstein did not know this. career people wouldn't take

these steps without consulting higher ups. >> i was a career prosecutor, what a statement for us to be even be questioning the ecred credibility of an attorney general. biden is having to face a lot of the same discussion points we're talking about while he's backabroad. here's what vladimir putin told nbc about president biden. >> you once described president trump as a bright person, talented. how would you describe president biden? >> even now i believe former u.s. president mr. trump is an extraordinary individual, talented individual, otherwise he would not have become u.s. president. he's colorful individual. you may like him or not. he had not been in big-time politics before. some like it, some don't like it, but that's a fact. president biden, of course, is radically different from trump

because president biden is a career man. he has spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics. just think of the number of years he spent in the senate, a different kind of person, and it is my great hope that, yes, there's advantages, some disadvantages, but there will not be impulse-based movements on behalf of the u.s. president. >> no doubt biden's meeting with putin will be entirely different than trump's face-to-face. is that what you think too? >> absolutely. vladimir putin helped donald trump get elected president for a reason. russia interfered in the 2016 campaign and after donald trump became president, he advanced vladimir putin's objectivities. he questioned the u.s. commitment to nato, did a series of things that advanced russian objectivities. joe biden is a different kind of president, and so no wonder that he's in that interview talking about how smart donald trump was and raising questions about joe

biden. it's going to be fascinating to see exactly how joe biden handles that meeting. he's certainly going to set a different tone in the relationship. what is uncertain is how effectively joe biden with that different approach than donald trump can constrain the behavior that vladimir putin has flagrantly engaged in, not only interfering in our elections, but hosting criminal networks within russia that have been conducting ransomware attacks, the solar winds hack, which is as sub ascribed to russia. joe biden will trying to rally allies and the question is how effective is that. >> let's hope we learn more about this meeting than we did from helsinki. thank you for your time. nice talking to you. i want to turn to former congressman denny heck, he's now lieutenant governor of

washington state. welcome to the show, routlieute governor. you were on a call today with past is and also present members of the house intelligence committee. what did you learn? >> well, they just kind of brought us up to speed on what had happened thus far to get us in this circumstance. chairman schiff wanted to make sure we had as much background information as he did. i was the only former member on that i can tell. there aren't very many people that leave the intelligence committee that it's such an interesting committee and such important national security work, and members tend to stay on as long as they can. >> which begs the question as to why would it have been important to intercept those private communications with people on this highly sensitive committee. lieutenant governor, do you have reason to believe that you were targeted? i mean, you're a former member now, but do you have reason to

believe you yourself were targeted? >> i was on the committee during the period of time for which the subpoenas were issued in 2017. and of course none of us knew for sure at the time, but we all submitted our telephone numbers and our relevant email addresses, which were then submitted to apple to review to see whether or not they had been subpoenaed. breaking news, laura, turns out i was not one of those that was subpoenaed. during the course of the afternoon when i was pondering this, given the news report that there were up to 73 phone numbers that were asked for, i wondered how i could not be one of those. i didn't understand how they could get 73 numbers if it was just two members of the committee and the staff. but it does beg the question how extensive these subpoenas were and how many people were involved, how many family members, minors, how many other friends of the members of the

committee who had their records subpoenaed by the department of justice. i want to be very clear up front that the inspector general goes in the direction many of us assume he will. i think william barr ought to be disbarred because i don't think anybody ought to be able to legitimately call they mmselves lawyer. >> lieutenant governor, that's quite a statement, the notion that the former attorney general in that passion. it's interesting in the point you made, if the goal was to figure out who was the source of any leaks or to get those sources, wouldn't it have made sense investigationwise to have cast such a wide dragnet that you would unavoidably be one of the people whose records were accessed as well? it doesn't speak well about a wide scope to get to the crux of the issue. does it seem that way to you? >> well, laura, you're the former career prosecutor.

you would know better than me. but clearly in hindsight there was no predicate for this. usually you think subpoenas have to be predicated on some notion of what, as a layperson, characterizes as probable cause. attorney general barr pushed to go ahead on this. laura, who does this? russia does this, north korea does this, authoritarian regimes do this. but this doesn't happen in a healthy democracy, and it ought to serve as a very loud warning sign to all americans. >> it's also a very stunning revelation in parts that this is happening while the president of the united states on his first overseas trip, biden administration the chief diplomat of democracy across the globe. lieutenant governor, thank you for your time. i appreciate it. >> you're more than welcome. the comparisons to a previous president, well,

trump's doj seizing private records of his political opponents. it's drawing comparisons to

another president who went after his rivals, richard nixon. now he had an enemies list, which former white house counsel john dean described in a memo as a tool to, quote, screw our political enemies. nixon eventually resigned in disgrace over the watergate scandal. joining me now, cnn contributor john cnn and presidential historian, tim naftali. what a dynamite duo to talk about this issue and these comparisons. john, let me begin with you. this, as you know s drawing comparisons to richard nixon. some refer to it as watergate 2.0. but the trump doj went after reporters and multiple sitting members of congress. you obviously have firsthand knowledge of what happened under nixon. is this worse than that? >> it's a little bit different. there are some parallels with reporters. nixon did wiretap reporters at

that time it was legal to do it. he had the director of the fbi do it. when the taps became illegal, they did pull them. but he did reporters and white house staff. on congress there's nothing comparable to what we're seeing here. i can recall no action by nixon where he ever tried to use the grand jury subpoena process to go after members of congress and learn about what they might or might not know. in fact, he really got rebuffed every time he tried to bring a legal action in the area of leaks. that statute was not used owner with daniel ellsburg, who was the massive leaker of the nixon presidency. it's not a pretty story at all what he did with ellsburg. >> tim, you say nixon created a ram shackle system that allowed him to go after opponents.

the entire justice system it seemed was hijacked. when you abuses like these are institutionalized, how danger do they become. >> i agree with john's assessment that there are parallels and big differences. one of the big differences is that the permanent government, not the deep state, the permanent government was more compliant to trump than it was for nixon. nixon was not able to get the irs, for example, to act on the enemies list. nixon was not able to get the department of justice to do everything he wanted to do. he was so frustrated, in fact, that he couldn't get the kind of cooperation he expected for abuses of power against his enemies that he created the plumbers. he created an illegal espionage team within the white house. fast forward to trump. trump was able to suborn the justice department. we're going to find out about the threshold, if there really

was one, or the predicate that the justice department's prosecutors used to seek a subpoena against sitting members of congress. let's just step back for a minute. this was renewed. the executive branch was spying on congress. just think about the implications of that. that is deep attack on our separation of powers doctrine, and is extremely, extremely troubling, given that the trump administration kept fighting for executive privilege while now apparently or clearly spying on congress. >> let that sink in about the idea of while you had not one, but two impeachments, the idea that this was an available tactic. john, are you surprised? again, we don't know all of the ins and outs of this

investigation, the factual predicate that led to it. we have a lot to learn, that's true. but you mentioned the idea of nixon being rebuffed at different turns and tim talking about the irs preventing certain behavior. would you be surprised if anyone in the doj power structure stood up and said this is wrong? these are sitting members of the intelligence committee, a coequal branch of government. what do you think, john? >> it looks like they rolled over and did what he wanted. he might not have even given them a direct order. it might have been a tweet that set them off. so i'm not surprised. tim nailed it. trump had a very compliant bureaucracy. nixon did not. that was part of his problem. but so on we actually are in different times and it's quite surprising that once was considered a check in the bureaucracy really is no longer. but laura, i don't think we've begun to find out what has gone on, and i think that that's going to be something that is unveiled over the next few

years, and it's likely to get worse than what we're seeing right now. >> that's the tip of the i iceberg. there's some history of an attorney general being liable and guilty. you had john mitchell who served 19 months over watergate. he was convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice and perjury. law-makers are now demanding answers from bill barr over these leak investigations. are you seeing parallels between what happened with nixon and mitchell and now trump and barr? >> was that question to me, laura? >> yes, john. >> okay. i do see some parallels. i don't know how barr is going to handle it. he has actually, i think, done more damage to the department of justice by a factor of maybe 100 than john mitchell did. john mitchell really kind of played by the rules. he didn't really run the

department very aggressively. he had an assistant who was a longtime department of justice employee who kind of guided the attorney general who knew nothing about washington or the department of justice. i actually worked at the department before i went to the white house, so i was familiar with the operations there. today it's a very different department. barr was a micromanager. typically the deputy attorney general often runs the department. par barr tran department. he was a former deputy, former attorney general. he knew which strings to pull to make different reactions throughout the entire department. >> now, of course i wish i had more time, because the question is what kind of a department is it now under a.g. garland. stay here on cnn, everyone.

so the justice department's inspector general will now investigate the trump doj seizure of data of democratic lawmakers, while republicans are mostly silent about the targeting of their democratic counterparts of course. joining me the is ron brownstein and former adviser to george w. bush and john mccain. mark, you tipped your hat first. let me go to you for a second, please. the gop, they couldn't quit trump after the insurrection,

after the big lie, and they are standing by him again as we're learning about what is likely only the tip of the iceberg of abuses during his administration. i mean, are they aware that they're potentially standing on quick sand here? >> i think they have been and they are and it's just getting worse. they're not only doubling down, they're clawing their way to the bomb they decided to go all in with trump, go all in on the myth about the election, go all in about election fraud. and now they have nowhere to go on this doj investigation. as you heard, you heard nothing out there from republicans, only crickets, and they know it's bad. there's going to be an investigation. it's not going to be good. but republicans have attached themselves. i don't think this is the tip of the iceberg. this is bottom of the iceberg that's going to sink the titanic of the republican party. >> this time of year we got to say we're not hearing cicadas, no longer crickets at this time. biden ran on bipartisanship.

but republicans are blocking nearly all of his agenda and also some democrats are looking at what's happening and wondering if they're getting played if this is just bipartisanship theater. i mean, what are you hearing, particularly because an issue like this, you should have bipartisan support because there were also republican members of congress that trump was at odds with that could have come under this dragnet. what are you hearing? >> look, i think mark nailed it exactly right. the republican party has decided they are all in on donald trump. you look at the polling, 3/4 of republican voters still want him to be the leader of the party. and i think the frightening thing is that a large part of the republican base and coalition would find nothing wrong in what he did. they've adopted an any-means-necessary mind-set toward holding off on a coalition to transform america. the it's the same impulse behind

this wave of voting laws that are passing in the states, making it harder to vote on almost entirely party-line basis. as you point out, it leaves biden, i think, in a difficult position. he ran on bipartisan and there's polling america wants bipartisan, but there's growing frustration among democrats that there is no realistic chance of getting ten senate republicans for almost anything the democrats want to do. and so i think the rubber is going to hit the road this summer, and the inability to come to sequence on something like this or the january 6th commission really underscores how hard it's going to be on anything that is substantive policy. >> ron, you have a piece in "the atlantic" titled "democracy is already dying in the states." i mean, we're looking at the 389 bills going through 48 states right now. that makes it harder to vote. democrats in those states are under know illustrations about republicans are really interested here. it's obviously not

bipartisanship. keep in mind today. ag. garland made the announcement about but tressing the voting rights section to try to address many of these concerns. >> as you know, garland is very limited in what he can do because the john roberts court in 2013 tore out the heart of the voting rights act, the preclearance provision. all he can use is section 2. the supreme court may be about to weaken that too. the best response democrats have, the only lever they have to push back against what's going on in the states is federal legislation setting a federal minimum standard of voting rights. but joe manchin is saying he will not move forward on invites unless it's done in a bipartisan nature. what i was able to point out today with the help of the brennen center was that the standard that he is upholding that this should bonly be done f both parties agree is not happening. all the laws that have been passed in the states except for one have been passed almost

entirely on a party-line basis with opposition from almost every democrat and support from every republican. and so all of these state-level democrats i talk to in arizona and florida and iowa and texas where they are being steamrolled by this party-line republican offensive against voting rights are cabsolutely incredulous. manchin saying he will only vote if republicans agree to constrain what the republicans in the states are doing. that's the standard unfolding in the states themselves. >> wish i had more time with both of you. thank you for being here thank you for taking the time. >> thank you. you know, another alleged rioter arrested. now facing five federal charges. but this one, he's a chicago police officer. not only allegedly infiltrated the capitol, but he wore a chicago pd sweatshirt while doing so. more on that, next.
