tv   Don Lemon Tonight  CNN  June 15, 2021 8:00pm-9:00pm PDT

8:00 pm
it's moving day. and while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute.
8:01 pm
wait, a minute? but what have you been doing for the last two hours? ...delegating? oh, good one. move your xfinity services without breaking a sweat. xfinity makes moving easy. go online to transfer your services in about a minute. get started today. president biden just hours away from his critical summit with vladimir putin. the stakes could not be higher with both leaders admitting u.s.-russia relations are at a new low.
8:02 pm
plus the same day that the house holds hearings on the security failures of the january 6 attack, 20 house republicans voting against offering the gold medal to the policeman what saved the capitol. and the one in the trump organization could face charges this summer. we'll talk about what that means for that president. i'm here with amanda carpenter and john. good to see both of you. president biden will meet with vladimir putin in just a few hours. what would make this a success for biden? what's the word? >> don, we expect it to be long and tense. it will start about 7:30 washington time, start with a bilateral meeting with putin and biden as well as their foreign
8:03 pm
minister, secretary of state blinken, foreign minister lavrov of russia, then have an expanded meeting, one break during that time, and we don't expect major breakthroughs, perhaps a return of the u.s. ambassador to moscow and the russian ambassador to washington. they were recalled during turbulence in the relationship recently, but big breakthroughs are not the point. the point is twofold. one is for biden to reestablish directly face to face that after four years in which donald trump and vladimir putin had a sort of mutual assistance relationship that america had a president again who was going to stand up and speak out against russian misbehavior on behalf of the united states and the free world, but also to do that without having the fractures in the relationship spin out of control. and also try to identify some areas where they might be able
8:04 pm
to work together such as arms control between the u.s. and russia, the iran nuclear deal and perhaps climate change as well. >> amanda, america's relationship with russia hasn't been this bad since the cold war, really. president trump embarrassed putin by talking to him on the world stage. president trump suggested drinking bleach for the pandemic. what are you expecting? >> i have to say i'm not excited about the prospect of another american president giving putin another prestigious, sit-down, high-profile, global media opportunity. of course, i do think biden will be well prepared to go into these meetings. but putin is going to spin this to his advantage. given putin's hostile posture
8:05 pm
towards the united states, not only when it comes to election interference but when it comes to the ransomware hacks and other propaganda efforts that are ongoing, you know, i think it's hard to see how we are going to get an immediate win out of this meeting. maybe there is more long-term goals that play, of course, when it comes to nuclear arms in ukraine, but frankly, i'm a little nervous and hesitant to see what's going to happen here. >> listen, i've got to get your take, though, on the 21 house republicans that voted against legislation awarding the congressional gold medal to officers who defended the capitol on january 6. how do you explain this? these officers risk their lives protecting these lawmakers. by the way, can we put their pictures back up as amanda answers this? these are the folks who voted against that. so what do you think, amanda? >> well, on the bright side, it was only 21 lawmakers out of 406, but, you know, i was trying
8:06 pm
to understand. i was going through a lot of their statements ahead of coming on the show tonight and they're grasping at ways to justify this. people like marjorie taylor greene disagreed with the word insurrection that was used. mark didn't like the talk about losing democracy. others didn't like all incidences that were included. to me that just says they're far more concerned about their own personal priorities, about wording rather than giving these capitol police officers the recognition that they deserve and putting your own kind of myopic personal priorities ahead of our national security in such a way is a disgrace. >> what do you think, john? she mentioned marjorie taylor greene. she voted against this as well. she mentioned her, so she doesn't like the temple of our american democracy, and they don't like the word
8:07 pm
insurrection. i mean -- >> look, kooky people say kooky things. marjorie taylor greene, and some of those people who voted against that resolution, were, in fact, in sympathy with the insurrection. you could hear that from paul cosart in his discussion today in the last hour. that's a sad fact of where we are in the segment of the republican party today, and marjorie taylor greene makes a new spectacle almost every day. we can't be surprised about it anymore, and there are going to be more of them to come. i think the next relevant development on this front is when they make a second pass as nancy pelosi the speaker said today she wanted the senate to do to see if they can get 60 votes for a nonpartisan outside
8:08 pm
commission to investigate what happened on january 6. i presume she's doing that in the belief that there is some shot that that will happen. joe manchin has indicated that, and we'll have to see whether there are 60 people, including enough republicans with the guts to stand up to what happened on that day despite the wrath of a segment of their party and the former president, donald trump. >> the last thing you said, most important. thank you both. i appreciate it. so today the householdholdia hearing with fbi director christopher wray to expect the series leading up to the january 6 attack. congressman joins me now. good to see you. >> same here. >> your committee obtained documents showing social media parler revealed this and showed it to the fbi for investigation
8:09 pm
over 50 times. 50 times! was this a massive oversight by the fbi? >> i think so, don. i think there was just a lot of laps with regard to the fbi's detection of the intelligence leading up to january 6. and my biggest problem, quite frankly, is that christopher wray and the fbi and the justice department are not coming clean with regard to the errors or l lapses in judgment of january 6. five actually breached the capitol. why haven't the other remaining people that were part of the insurrection been arrested and why have so few been prosecuted? we need to hustle right now, because if we don't, the people on the alt right are going to continue to declare victory as a consequence of january 6. they got away with it.
8:10 pm
>> you also pressed the fbi director on whether there was foreign funding of individuals involved in the january 6 attack. let's listen to that. >> sir, you can't rule out that other far right extremist groups received foreign donations in the lead-up to january 6, can you? >> not only would i not want to rule it out, but certainly the possibility of foreign funding or support for domestic violent extremism is something that's particularly high on our priority list because of the challenges it poses. b bitcoin is certainly part of the concern. >> yes, sir. you can't rule out that foreign financing helped fund activities related to january 6, right? >> correct. i'm not sure we've seen that at this stage, but i certainly wouldn't purport to rule it out. >> so, congressman, how significant would it be if r rioters were given money by people outside the u.s. to attack the u.s.?
8:11 pm
has anything like that happened before? >> not to my knowledge. don, just so your viewers know, basically $250,000 in bitcoin was deposited into the account of nick fuentes who is the leader of groipers, one of the groups that actually breached the capitol that day. that bitcoin came from a donor in france who was lamenting the decline of western civilization. so this is the challenge we have to deal with at this point, the foreign financing of domestic violent extremists. >> and that's according to the investigation you've done. again, it's not cnn's reporting, but that's what you have gathered here. so you also heard from army general charles flynn today. he's the brother of that disgraced big lie and coup promoter, michael flynn, general walter piatt, general army staff. did they clear up whether
8:12 pm
mistakes were made in deploying the national guard during the attack, or the lack of deploying them early enough? >> unfortunately, no. they weren't able to shed any light on this issue or explain why there was such a delay between the time that urgent requests were made for assistance and when the assistance actually arrived. and, again, that is a big unanswered question, and that's why we need that bipartisan commission that you talked about in the earlier segment to get to the truth of why there was such a delay and how to prevent that from happening again. >> tonight the house overwhelmingly passed legislation to award congressional gold medals to two police officers who defended the capitol on january 6. i was just talking to amanda about this. 21 of your gop colleagues in the house voted against it. what did you think of that, congressman? >> i think it was appalling. it was disgraceful. i think that these folks, you know, unfortunately, are
8:13 pm
exemplified by paul gosar who, during the oversight hearing, basically said the capitol police officer who was trying to defend the house chambers from the rioters who was breaching executed one of the attackers on the house chambers. and basically what he's implying is that person who was attacking the house chambers was somehow in the right. and that is just a crazy perspective, and i, for one, am not going to hop on this first bus to crazy town that paul gosar and others are taking. we're not going to go along for that ride. >> thank you, congressman. i appreciate your time. >> thank you so much. i want to go now to this "new york times" reporting that allen weisselberg, the long-time chief financial officer could face charges and could face them as soon as this sooner.
8:14 pm
eli honig joins me now. good evening to you. if weisselberg may face charges this summer, what does that tell you about where this investigation into trump and the trump organization is right now? >> reporter: yeah, don, this investigation is about to hit a key turning point, because the single biggest variable that i believe will determine whether donald trump gets indicted is whether allen weisselberg flips. now, he's only going to flip if he gets charged. so pretty soon, i believe, according to this new reporting by the end of the summer, we'll know if there will be criminal charges brought against allen weisselberg. if they do, he'll have a decision to make here. does he stay loyal to the trump org who he's been working for for over 40 years, or does he try to protect himself and his family, trying to reduce the potential exposure? >> what do we know about the potential charges? >> it looks like they're trying to build a tax case against
8:15 pm
allen weisselberg. a portion of weisselberg's income over the years was paid not in a paycheck the way most people get their salary, but some of it was paid directly by the trump org paying tuition for his family members, directly paying car payments. the theory is the reason they did that was to avoid taxation on that part of his income. if they can prove that, they will have a tax charge against weisselberg. >> the report says that for now mr. weisselberg appears to have rebuffed mr. vance's office and continues to work at the trump organization. do you think he'll remain loyal to trump? >> things change, don, when you find yourself on the other end of an indictment. i've seen plenty of cases where i worked where somebody swore, i'm not cooperating, i'm not interested, but when you show up with an indictment, that can change minds pretty quickly. weisselberg has a little bit of a history here. he cooperated somewhat with the
8:16 pm
federal government back in the hush money payments case. the southern district of new york gave him an immunity deal. meaning, we give you your testim -- give us your testimony, we won't charge you. they didn't end up charging anybody but michael cohen based on this investigation. so he sort of cooperated with the feds, and whether that's a positive or negative indicator as to whether he'll cooperate with state authorities, i guess, remains to be seen. >> that's what i was going to ask, do you think he's looking at michael cohen and saying, there's a lesson there. >> he could be. donald trump has no problem letting people around him take the fall for things. he cut bait on michael cohen real quick and now michael cohen is cooperating. weisselberg may see that and think, i'm not going down that path. >> if weisselberg doesn't turn on trump, what could the trump organization's cfo mean for the former president? >> so if he does not flip, then
8:17 pm
i think it becomes a very hard case for prosecutors to make against donald trump, because let's remember, the key theory here, the core theory is that the trump organization inflate and had deflated intentionally their assets. you'll need somebody to put that on donald trump. it's not enough for prosecutors to say, well, donald trump is the boss. he had to know. you have to prove that. if weisselberg isn't communicating, the rest of the circle has the name of trump. don jr., ivanka, they're not flipping. donald trump is not an e-mailer, he's not a textor. so i don't know if you prove a criminal case against donald trump without testimony from allen weisselberg. >> but if there's evidence that they inflated and deflated their assets -- someone -- doesn't someone have to take responsibility for it? i mean, the buck has to stop with someone at the organization. >> reporter: that would be logical, but the beauty of being boss, don, whether it's in the trump organization or the way i have to do mafia cases is they
8:18 pm
have insulation. it's hard to make cases against them. what you'll see a criminal boss sometimes say is, that decision didn't come to me. i wasn't made aware of that. i leave that to allen weisselberg. >> so what do you have to say, who ultimately made this decision? there is no way of ever proving that? >> you can, but the most common way to prove that is to flip somebody on the inside, right? you can't just stand up in front of a jury and say, he must have known. if you want to penetrate as a prosecutor a single organization like this, really the best way is to flip somebody. being boss has its benefits. that's why it's hard to prosecute bosses. that's why we were able to have a lot of pride when it came to a corporate boss, a mob boss, what have you. it isn't easy, but you can get there if you flip the right people. >> eli, thank you. i appreciate it. juneteenth is considered a

8:24 pm
a previously secret trove of e-mails released by the house committee pressed the department on multiple fronts to do his bidding in the quest to overturn the 2020 election results. we have cnn analyst laura coates. laura, good evening to you. let's start with this december e-mail by trump's white house assistant to then acting attorney general jeff rosen with the subject line that says "from potus." it was making debunked claims about michigan county's election being fraudulent. what's this mean? >> this saying this is actually from the president of the united states to alert this person that
8:25 pm
is about to become the acting attorney general, saying, i want you to lean on this. i want you to do essentially what i asked of georgia's secretary of state, bob r raffensberger to find some votes. >> and you say this is an alert that it doesn't come directly from the president, look at this. >> it's not a face to face, it's, i want you to know this needs to happen. it also gives him a little distance to say, plausible liability. i didn't actually extend it myself. if i wanted it done, i would have picked up the phone, so it gives just enough distance for former president trump to be able to say, hey, it wasn't
8:26 pm
meme, the old shaggy defense. at the same time he wants the person to know, look at the e-mail account. this is someone you know in my orbit and can convey the directive. >> the e-mails just kept on coming. that same white house assistant enacting a.g. rosen drafted a lawsuit drafted by kurt olson seeks to overturn the election results in georgia, michigan, wisconsin and arizona. in what world would the doj sign into a lawsuit drafted by a random person and passed along by the president like that? what? >> no world in this galaxy. imagine the audacity, the arrogance, the presumption to actually believe you're going to hand the department of justice who, by the way, is full of attorneys that are well versed and fluent in the art of brief
8:27 pm
writing and drafting complaints, it's the bulk of what they do in terms of prosecuting and investigating cases, and you're going to hand them what you think is a value ag in some form of fashion saying, look into this? it wasn't as if this would have been news for them. remember who was the attorney general at the time when barr said, when rosen said, there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the court of law, in the different courts, almost 60 of them, i believe, don. there was no evidence to support this or back it up. so they were hoping to have and rely on the credibility that was part of the department of justice to go into a court and have that rapport with the federal judge to say here, this is what i'd like you to look at with prosecutors. they needed to try to rely and capitalize on that credibility
8:28 pm
when there was no "there" there. >> this is kind of a side note but is this a window into how donald trump possibly ran his business with -- because he was very letigious. and also just as he gave legitimacy to conspiracy theorists and bigots, has he given legitimacy basically to ambulance chasers? >> well, he certainly has in over 60 different court proceedings to essentially say, i'd like you to go out there and just throw something against a wall and see if it sticks. i'd like you to be able to co-sign a fishing expedition in an absolute desert. and it's ironic, of course, because if we're learning more and more, as we're learning more and more about trump's doj and his discussions and his attempts to use through different appointees, potentially, the idea of apple to secure data from people like congressmen and
8:29 pm
also reporters like our own barbara starr, the idea that he would actually try to have the doj be complicit in fishing expeditions to promote a big lie is really par for the course at this point in time. but it's absurd to think, and of course, we're very glad about, is that there was pushback here, don. imagine if people had been more receptive and said, okay, the top person has told us what to do, therefore we must oblige. the pushback is really restorative for people thinking about their credibility and integrity in the department of justice in many ways. >> listen, the pressure campaign went higher. i want to go back to the e-mails, okay? it went higher than the trump white house assistant. his then chief of staff mark meadows is involved in this. he sent an e-mail asking the acting a.g. rosen to look into claims of voter fraud in georgia saying, quote, can you have your team look into these allegations
8:30 pm
of wrongdoing? again, this is coming from the white house chief of staff. it was obvious to everyone how desperate trump was just to overturn this election. was he really asking or was this more of a telling? >> the question for me is, why was he so emboldened to use all these different surrogates to convey these points. was he somehow under the impression that there would be people who would act as minions as opposed to objective arbiters of the case against the evidence that there was no widespread fraud, there was no "there" there in other places? that he was emboldened enough to use mark meadows, that mark meadows would do this tells him about how he had been accustomed to acting within the department of justice. it is not a private law firm, d don. it belongs to the people of the united states, not to the president of the united states irrespective that the person who
8:31 pm
was the attorney general is his appointee. but this tells you that he was so potentially accustomed to having operated this way that there was almost no shame in it. and also the desperation you speak about, don, the desperation to have somebody with legitimacy support the big lie when court after court said, is there something there? show it to me so i can actually act on that. i can't just go on some sort of baseless gut check that really is a partisan attempt. you have to have something there for me to order something as a court of law. and the surefire way to do so was to use the backing of the department of justice. and when they refused to do so, even calling it pure insanity, that was particularly accurate of a statement. imagine the insanity of saying, i'd like you, the department of justice, as high up the chain as an acting attorney general, to lend some sort of credence to what is an absolute farce. >> so much to talk about, laura.
8:32 pm
i could go on all night, but you know what, i don't have that much time. italian satellite conspiracies, space lasers -- it goes on and on. laura coates, thank you. >> thank you. u.s. coronavirus deaths passing 600,000 today. but this is what folks are focused on. >> i'm very proud to pass this act. my co-signers have signed this bill. welcome back, america. it sure is good to see you.

states passing 600,000 deaths of covid-19. this as the cdc is calling the delta variant a variant of concern. new york announcing that 70% of people in the state have received at least one covid-19 dose and that restrictions will be lifted immediately. they are going to celebrate the news and pay tribute to health workers. a doctor at baylor college of medicine, peter hotez. good evening. overall more than 74 million people or 53% of the total population has received at least one dose and nearly 145 million people or 44% of the u.s. population is now fully vaccinated. that's impressive. but what we are seeing in some
8:38 pm
areas where lots of people are vaccinated and some or relatively few are vaccinated, it's a difference there. what does that mean for those areas? >> first of all, don, you're right. we're commemorating 600,000 american lives lost, and the two of us have been together through 100,000, 200,000 and so forth, and it's just such an extraordinary tragedy. there is light at the end of the tunnel now, especially in the northeast, places like new york as well as the new england states where so many people are vaccinated now that i do have optimism we're going to vaccinate our way out of this epidemic. but, tragically, we're now two covid nations, because as good as we're looking in the northeast and in california and a few other states, in the south things are looking very dire. we're only a small percentage of americans who are vaccinated in the south, especially among young people. among adolescents, fewer than 10% of adolescents in states like louisiana, mississippi,
8:39 pm
alabama, and i'm worried now with this delta variant who is affecting young people with adolescents in the u.k., we have to believe the same thing is going to happen now in the south over the summer. so exciting news about the northeast, but i'm quite concerned about the south. >> you talked about there is a red state/blue state divide, yes? >> no question. and, you know, there is just no other way to phrase it or to put it. it's very much among partisan lines, and it's defiance, it's defiance of masks and social distancing last year, and now it's defiance of vaccines, and it's just so profoundly self-defeating. and, you know, right now the numbers are still low in the south, but remember, this time last year the numbers were low as well, and then after the july 4th holiday, we saw this massive surge across the south, and i have to believe given how low the vaccine coverage is, we could see something like this.
8:40 pm
more elderly people in the south are vaccinated, so maybe not as many deaths, but with this delta variant that's more aggressive, we're going to see more young adults and adolescents get sick, go to the hospital and develop long haul debilitating symptoms. it's heartbreaking at the same time. >> if kwyou're fully vaccinated are you protected? do you need a booster? what's happening, doctor? >> if you have two doses of the moderna or pfizer vaccine, it's high levels of protection against severe illness. the problem is if you only have a single dose of the vaccine, it's not as good against the variants or the other lineages like the b 1-7 variant. if you're unvaccinated, you're highly vulnerable. don, the problem is this. let's say you say, okay, well
8:41 pm
i'm finally going to get my adolescent vaccinated, or i'm going to get vaccinated, it requires two doses to be effective. if you get the first dose now, the second dose three or four weeks from now, and it takes time to release that antibody, you're at least five or six weeks away, and that's why we need to get vaccinated now. you don't want to consider getting vaccinated during that horrible surge if that occurs during july and august. >> doctor, you look at where we are with this virus, all the lives we've lost, and yet today congresswoman marjorie taylor greene and a group of republicans are putting forth the fire fauci act, saying dr. fauci controlled the lives of americans for the past year, blaming him for the pandemic and claiming that covid-19 is a bio weapon. where do you even start with that? >> yeah, that's right, where do you start with that? it's beyond disgusting. here's the situation. first of all, this is not even about tony, in my opinion, or
8:42 pm
about dr. fauci. this is about a rising crescendo of anti-science. first it was defiance against social distancing and masks, then it was vaccines. they're targeting prominent scientists. they're targeting tony, they're targeting me, they're targeting peter dasek and a number of other scientists. there is an agenda here, and that is the current movement is adopting anti-science as a major platform and its attempt to portray us as evildoers rather than the reason we got into science which was to perceive humanitarian goals. frankly, it's very frightening to see what's happening. there is a reason they're doing it. they're using this as a way to consolidate power by showing that they're stronger than the scientists in being able to defeat science for their own political gains. >> dr. hotez, thank you for your
