tv   Don Lemon Tonight  CNN  February 9, 2022 7:00pm-8:00pm PST

7:00 pm
that's it for us tonight. i'll be back tomorrow. don lemon tonight starts right now. i almost ended there just to make sure his name -- i said don lemon -- oh, the show starts tonight. you are the show, my friend. don lemon starts tonight. >> it is a real show. i've been called a show off of television. >> the greatest show on earth. >> there you go. i saw you ended your program this evening with the restrictive law about not saying
7:01 pm
gay. i mean, what are we doing here? where are we going to? >> sometimes don't you feel like you read the headlines and you go, is this a real headline? this is actually happening right now? or is this some sort of channel that i want to change and go, if this were a movie i would say, this doesn't happen and i more and more between voting rights to this, i think to myself, i'm a little disoriented as to what year it really is. >> wow. profound. >> are you? >> yeah, i am. i remember, listen, i guess i can't say gay. kidding. because they don't want you to say gay. >> it might hurt the kids apparently. >> as someone who grew up with that secret it would have been better to me if we had more information about it, if we learned about it, if i didn't have to keep it a secret and hold on to those things as many others who grew up like me. i thought we were moving to a place where it was better for kids who are of the lgbtq plus community we wanted to make sure they knew they were normal, that
7:02 pm
that is normal so they wouldn't have to harm themselves or even take their lives. >> that's so -- i am so glad you shared that perspective because it is heart breaking to think about that. i know i often read about and you see the notion of it gets better as sort of a way to help people feel like there is hope on the horizon and i wonder how you convince someone of that when you see that it's getting worse legislatively. what that looks like to people and feeling that alienation that they're alone or something is wrong. what's wrong is how this is being handled. >> yeah. >> nothing else. >> yes. good place to end. thank you. i'll see you tomorrow. have a good night. >> "don lemon the show" starts now. >> the greatest show on earth starts right now. this is "don lemon tonight" thank you so much for joining us and we'll begin with breaking news. it seems it becomes every moment lately, right? a lot of news. a lot of breaking news. the "new york times" is reporting that the national archives discovered -- i can't
7:03 pm
believe i am reporting this because i am thinking back to 2015 and 2016 and remember the e-mails. my gosh. the national archives discovered what it believed was classified information in the documents the former president took with him from the white house when he left washington in disgrace. they found the information after he returned 15 boxes of documents to the government last month. according to a source, it prompted the archives to go to the doj for guidance. mishandling classified documents is a very big deal. remember? should we be saying, but his e-mails! lock him up. maybe. rush' if you're listening -- >> 33,000 e-mails disappeared. people who have nothing to hide don't smash phones with hammers. they don't. people who have nothing to hide
7:04 pm
don't bleach. nobody's ever heard of it. don't bleach their e-mails or destroy evidence to keep it from being publicly archived as required under federal law. she also, and her staff, destroyed some of her 13 different phones but this time with a hammer. >> not just in a screening room. on full display. that is happening as the january 6 committee issues a subpoena to peter navarro one of the loudest voices in the room pushing the plan. chairman bennie thompson writing navarro, quote, hasn't been shy about his role in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. he sure wasn't. he laid out the plan in detail in an interview with the daily beast back in december and i quote, we spent a lot of time lining up over 100 congressmen including some senators. it started out perfectly.
7:05 pm
at 1:00 p.m. gosar and cruz did exactly what was expected of them. it was a perfect plan and it all predicated on peace and calm on capitol hill. we didn't even need any protesters. because we had over 100 congressmen committed to it. again, there it is. right out in the open. peter navarro is not done talking. just this week he lit into mike pence for saying his former boss was wrong and what he asked him to do was unamerican, a stunning statement it turns out. pence didn't originally intend to make. sources telling cnn recent criticism from the former president pushed pence over the edge. >> mike, i don't want to hear this crap you are dead politically. don't be going out and giving speeches and talking smack about
7:06 pm
trump. >> the little t-shirt on espn. like espn? can you please roll that again? can i see it? >> mike, i don't want to hear this crap. you are dead politically. don't be going out and giving speeches and talking smack about trump. >> on the 50 yard line. right into the end zone. okay. this is serious stuff but that is weird whatever it is that is. peter navarro, come on down and join the subpoena club. along with steve bannon, the guy just on the tv there, and dozens of others. then there is of course rudy guiliani who always seems to be behind the wheel of the clown car of crazy "the washington post" reporting he asked a michigan prosecutor to give voting machines to trump's team in a county where mistakes were found and corrected, a county trump ended up winning by more
7:07 pm
than 3,000 votes. and in the face of all of this, all of the investigations, all of the evidence, it seems the one thing that's got republicans at odds is the rnc's censure resolution and those three words. these three words will live in infamy. you're going to hear them a lot especially during campaign season. you know them. legitimate political discourse. mitch mcconnell just last night smacked down the rnc when he called what happened on january 6th a violent insurrection. and then there's ted cruz. ted cruz who repeatedly called what happened on january 6th a violent terrorist attack until he had to grovel before tucker carlson for the cardinal sin of actually telling the truth. now he says this. >> the word insurrection is politically charged propaganda. it is happily used by democrats and the corporate media.
7:08 pm
january 6th there were thousands of peaceful protesters exercising their first amendment right to speak. >> well, insurrection is the exact word that describes what happened on january 6th. that's quite an about face for him from violent terrorist attack to calling the word insurrection politically charged propaganda. how about kevin mccarthy literally running away from a reporter for abc trying to ask him about the rnc's resolution? >> you know what? make an appointment in the office. >> were they in the gym? nancy pelosi slamming republicans and mccarthy. >> it's disturbing to see that the republican leader of the
7:09 pm
house ran actually literally refused to condemn that resolution of legitimate political discourse. he literally ran away from the press when he was asked about his position. the republicans can run but they cannot hide from what happened on january 6th. >> let's bring in cnn's senior political analyst mr. john avon his upcoming book "lincoln and the fight for peace" and also senior strategist for the romney campaign. good evening to both of you. was there a treadmill? he was moving. oh, gosh. we have to laugh at this sometimes. laughable but not funny. john, typically republicans fall in line. they're all on the same page, right? and democrats are the ones beating each other up usually. instead it seems like the gop, the divide is widening here with mcconnell and mccarthy split on whether the -- about this rnc
7:10 pm
censure. how does this play out? >> well look. republicans usually fall in line except when they are asked to commit to a lie. mitch mcconnell speaking out, mike pence speaking out, mitt romney speaking out. tom tillis. all of a sudden it creates a little more cover for people to stand up and do the right thing. what you need is for people to say they represent the reality based republican party and push back on the big lie, you know, cultists and their converts like ted cruz. the fact he came out and called january 6 terrorism. then he had his sort of struggle session with tucker carlson. now he is saying we can't even call it an insurrection let alone terrorism. that is the opposite evolution. that's particularly pathetic but not surprising because, hey, ted cruz. >> i mean, you have to know, ted cruz has to know when that comes out of his mouth that, you know, it was an insurrection.
7:11 pm
what else are you going to call it? stewart, describing january 6th though as legitimate political discourse, why was this a bridge too far for some in the gop? i mean, so much has happened and a lot were still saying the election was stolen and there were election regirregularities. why is this a bridge too far? >> i think it is saying the parts you're not supposed to say out loud. i just go back to, i think there is a danger that we're sort of dumbing down where these people should be and giving them too much credit. as far as i know mitch mcconnell still has the position that he would vote for donald trump were he the republican nominee in 2024. i think all of those -- so does pence. no one has said they will oppose donald trump except a few like cheney, romney. that is a small number. that's where the line should be. pence really hasn't come forward
7:12 pm
as far as i know and said donald trump and i lost this election. i think that is the line we have to hold them to because that is the line really where democracy is. it's not enough to say, just, you know, we need the process of certification i couldn't have changed. he lost by over 8 million votes. he got crushed. you need to go out and say that. because unless someone is willing to lose there can be no democracy. >> stewart, let me ask you this. you're voicing something that is similar to what officer michael fanone says. he was the officer that was attacked by those violent rioters, those insurrectionists on january 6th. and he said, you know, the right things may be coming out of pence's mouth now or mitch mcconnell's mouth now but why didn't they do this all along? do you believe that you should meet people where they are or do you think, no, they're openly oopenly
7:13 pm
-- only doing this for political expedience? >> i think mcconnell is getting a lot of corporate pressure, a lot of ceos who would rather have a system like ours than in russia. more of the country is for democracy than is against it. but the majority of the republican party does not believe that joe biden is the legally elected president which means the majority of the republican party doesn't believe we are in a democracy. that is where the dividing line is. it's really not confusing. it's really clear cut. you either have to believe we have a legal system of elections in which the president of the united states was elected or we don't. so i think that all of this just goes back to this fundamental evil that the republicans embraced for power, and you can't negotiate with evil. i mean, when john and i were republicans this was one of the tennats prided themselves on. don't negotiate with terrorists. don't negotiate with evil. situational ethics. those values were right but it's just that republicans now have
7:14 pm
the opposite values. >> john, i want you to weigh in. stewart just said because of corporate pressure he believes that is why mcconnell is doing it. correct me if i'm wrong. but is it becoming easier to speak out against trump? pence apparently has privately received an outpouring of support from gop donors and lawmakers. >> well, look. i mean, certainly donations are one thing that politicians respond to. also the comfort of other colleagues having your back. but of course stewart is right. it should come down to basic principle. he is also right about where the line here is. it's would you vote for donald trump again just because he is a member of your party, which means you're putting party over country definitionally. i mean, this is -- if somebody trying to overturn an election, incite an insurrection, and continue to lie about it, if that's not too far, what is? the answer is nothing.
7:15 pm
>> john, i want to -- so it appears to me and i've been saying this all along i think the republican party kind of wants the control, certainly as stewart is saying is about power but want to have a party that is unified regardless of what it's behind. i don't think it's anything good. they want trumpism so to speak but they don't necessarily want trump. do you understand what i'm saying? they think he is too toxic and they're going to lose with him but they sort of want the control and the things that he stood for and the judges and all of that. does that make sense? do you understand what i'm saying? >> yeah i understand and that is within of the many rationalizations that get trotted out when people refuse to condemn trump directly. the unspoken part as well, we need his base to win and therefore we can't afford to take him on. i don't think you can separate trump and trumpism at the end of the day. >> hang on a second. i'm thinking in terms of the upcoming elections, not looking back. i'm thinking in terms of the people actually going to the polls and voting for him, supporting him, giving him money
7:16 pm
even though he is making a lot of money on this coffee table book or whatever. sorry. go on. >> allegedly. look, i think clearly, the dance the republican party is doing, the line they're trying to walk, is to benefit from his support not piss him off, therefore that means cowtow to him and don't contradict a lie but keep just enough distance where you don't alienate the center right and swing voters you actually need to win elections in america. to stewart's point, the dividing line for folks on the center and swing voters should be do they believe in democracy? are they backing the big lie? anything remotely adjacent or accommodating to that is complicit. >> yeah. i've got to run. but the irony of these classified material and the whole e-mail, but her e-mail last time. i mean, quickly, can you -- i mean, what do you think of this?
7:17 pm
can this be any more ridiculous? >> the entire trump candidacy shall the campaign was a large criminal enterprise and the entire trump presidency was a large criminal enterprise. he tried to steal democracy. why due think he is not going to steal documents? we have to quit being surprised. there were a bunch of gangsters running the united states of america. >> thank you both. i appreciate it. that is our breaking news, possible classified materials in the boxes the former president took when he left the white house. we'll continue to talk about that plus bob saget's family saying he died from head trauma. our dr. sanjay gupta is here to explain what might have happened. ♪ my name is austin james. as a musician living with diabetes, fingersticks can be a real challenge. that's why i use the freestyle libre 2 system. with a painless, one-second scan

7:22 pm
deputy director and senior legal analyst elie honig a former federal prosecutor. good evening, gentlemen. the "new york times," andrew, is reporting tonight the national archives discovered what they think is classified information in the records that trump took with him when he left the white house that have since been returned. the archives has reached out to the justice department for guidance. doesn't classified documents make this a lot more serious? >> well, it does. you are no longer talking about potentially the failure to observe the presidential records act which is of course the law that requires the president and the office of the president to preserve all of the president's records and maintains that the owner of those records is essentially the american people not the president himself. but that is basically an administrative statute. the mishandling statute, which is the one that penalizes people
7:23 pm
in government positions for taking classified information knowingly and bringing it to a place that is not authorized to keep it, that is a criminal statute. it is punishable by a year in jail or some sort of a fine. so, yeah. i think it steps up the seriousness here considerably. >> elie, how does it look especially the ruthless attacks on hillary clinton about her e-mails and so on and now you have something that is it seems as serious or maybe even more real than that. >> well, it looks ridiculous and hypocritical. let's start with that. legally speaking if you look at the clips we showed before of donald trump talking about hillary clinton's e-mails it shows donald trump has quite a sophisticated understanding of these laws that andrew was just talking about the need to preserve documents especially the need to preserve classified documents. and so it sort of takes away the whole ignorance that defense of this was an accident. i didn't realize what i was doing. i didn't realize the significance of these documents.
7:24 pm
that is something i think doj will take a look at and be weighing. >> how would they get documents -- why are those documents in the residence? >> one of many questions. were they packed up with the clothing and the china? how could they have gotten out of the white house in the first place? i mean, there's a million questions that i think doj needs to dig into. all those specifics matter because they'll show us whether this was carelessness on one hand or intentional on the other. >> andrew, are there nuances or different parameters regarding classified status when it comes to the president or former president? >> sure, don. because the president of course has the ability to declassify any information or documents that he wants basically for any reason he wants at any time. so that raises the specter of, well maybe did he declassify these things before he stuffed them in a box in the residence and sent them to mar-a-lago? that's a good question but if he did there needs to be some
7:25 pm
record of that as well. it's not just wave the magic wand and say i hereby declassify. somebody has to make a record of that and record those documents and officially put them in some sort of release form. so, yeah. there's definitely some digging that will have to go on here either by the inspector general for the national archives or potentially by the justice department investigators. >> remember they said you couldn't indict a sitting president or a sitting president couldn't go to jail. is he going to say, well i declassified these -- i don't know. >> well, so he may try to say he declassified it. as andrew said there has to be a record he did it at the time. he can't do it now and say i retroactively declassify. he has to show if he is arguing, well i declassified them he has to show he did it back then. now is too late. >> the january 6th committee issued a subpoena for trump's one time trade adviser peter
7:26 pm
navarro one of trump's loyal soldiers working overtime to overturn the election. listen to this. >> everything i'm seeing, liz, tells me that this election was stolen. what i think we need to do tomorrow is appoint a special prosecutor to look at this issue. i think the georgia race needs to be postponed till february because that place is a cesspool of activity. they ran the table on all of these dimensions of irregularities, so we need to do those things and i think we ought to think about seizing the voting machines. they stole this. we can prove it. >> wow. seizing the voting machines. i mean, he is now responding to the committee calling them domestic terrorists. he is clearly defiant here, andrew. what do they gain by getting him before the committee? >> boy, i don't know, don. if he is going to get in front of the committee and talk about running the table on dimensions of irregularities i'm not sure
7:27 pm
anybody learns anything from that. you know, it's just, again, you talk about the rank hypocrisy from this crowd. for navarro to have gone on television, on podcasts and talked about all these things so openly and now of course when the congressional committee duly authorized by law to investigate this matter has asked him to come and provide information all of a sudden oh, that's all privileged and can't be discussed. which we know is utter bunk. once again i'll take the same position, don. the committee should go after that testimony they think is relevant and important to their inquiry. if they think navarro has that sort of information they should subpoena him and pursue enforcement of any subpoena he ignores. >> walk us through the timeline. how will this play out? will he show up? he going to answer questions in person? are they going to have to go with the contempt route and at least, i don't know, try to enforce the law here? >> the committee has now subpoenaed peter navarro.
7:28 pm
he seems quite uninclined to testify calling them domestic terrorists i think is a bit of a tip-off there. as andrew said the committee has to decide whether they want to play hard ball with these folks defying them. there is a growing list of people who received subpoenas and made clear they have no intention to testify. will the committee hold them in contempt? the committee did it for steve bannon and mike meadows and then kind of stopped. is the committee going to continue that route and sending them over to doj for potential prosecution? >> this is so weird. like everyone else in the worreworld has to comply. what the hell? >> that is also a question for the committee though. why have they not subpoenaed ivanka trump, their own colleagues, kevin mccarthy, jim jordan, people we know have relevant information? there is a little distinction in the way the committee is treating more powerful folks, better connected folks, versus sort of normal folks. >> thank you both. i appreciate it.
7:29 pm

7:34 pm
we are learning more tonight about how far the former president was willing to go to stay in power. joining me now to discuss democratic congressman jason crowe. congressman, a pleasure. thank you for joining us this evening. the national archives asking the justice department to investigate trump's handling of records after they recovered 15 bockes of documents from mar-a-lago. you were an impeachment manager during trump's second impeachment. does any of this shock you? >> well, i wish that it did shock me, don, but it doesn't unfortunately which is just an illustration i guess of the depths of the prior administration and what donald trump was willing to do. the only thing that i thought about when i saw this breaking news was the huge disconnect between donald trump and the people that he was supposed to lead. when i was an army ranger we dealt with classified material all the time. if we took that classified material out of the secure facilities that it was to be stored in we would be in very big trouble.
7:35 pm
here you have the commander-in-chief that may have been doing the same thing. of course we knew he was cavalier with classified information but the russians, you know, the russian foreign minister and so many other examples and this is yet another one. >> some republicans are so on the trump train, even adam kinzinger talking about the risk of civil war. what is going on now? >> what is going on is the republican party continues to grapple with its future. you have the main stream of the republican party has really capitulated to donald trump. you have a few people with a great courage, who am i to disagree on policy discussions but listen i am willing to have a policy discussion any day of the week with someone because we deal with hard and complicated issues. this is different. you have people willing to do whatever donald trump says, a cultive personality. that's what's happening and it is having that battle for its soul right now.
7:36 pm
and it is really important that this come out in the right way. that there is a viable republican party. i say that as a democrat because we need a viable party to negotiate with, to work with, that will deal with the disinformation, misinformation, the big lies, and deal with it with some courage. >> when you see congressman how the divisions trump supercharged are only growing wider are you concerned that no matter what the january 6th committee finds that people who don't want to believe it just won't believe it? >> well i don't know whether it is growing wider. i know it is growing deeper. within those folks who have chosen to believe it or been pulled into the orbit of the big lie and donald trump and his enablers, those beliefs are getting more extreme. they're getting more violent in many instances. threats against members of congress, against local elected officials, school board members, and so many others are drastically increasing.
7:37 pm
so i am worried about this extremist movement deepening and changing in nature to become more violent than it has already shown itself to be on january 6th and other occasions. we should take that very seriously, another illustration of why we need people on both sides of the aisle and frankly more republicans to stand up and show some courage. a lot of folks don't, you know, want to listen to me for obvious reasons but they will listen to somebody with maybe a different letter behind their name. that is why the dissent is so important by liz cheney, adam k kinzinger, and so many others. >> i want to ask you about the situation in ukraine. you led a congressional delegation there in december to coordinate weapons transfer. the white house has approved a plan to use the military to evacuate u.s. citizens in ukraine if russia invades. what more can the u.s. do amid these rising tensions? should the u.s. be doing more? >> well, don, the administration is doing a lot.
7:38 pm
they sent in defensive weapons systems and equipment for providing assistance on cyber security. we've been training and advising the ukrainian military for a while. we are bolstering the eastern flank of nato and a bunch of other things as well. so certainly a robust response. what congress needs to do is actually pass a sanctions package and send it to the president for signing. i continue to push my colleagues to expedite the sanctions package. that is something congress can step in to do. we don't know what vladimir putin is going to do. it is very dangerous, a very risky situation. i think we have to be -- show a lot of resolve because we cannot allow strong men and autocrats like vladimir putin literally use tanks in this instance to capture a democratic, sovereign, free nation. i think the future of democracy, future of freedom relies on our response here. this is a very big test for us.
7:39 pm
>> even having the knowledge that you have, do we know, is there any indication about what putin will do? what do you think? >> i think it is very, very likely, increasingly likely that he will invade. that is my estimation. he may not. this is not a hundred percent situation. we don't have a crystal ball. >> what does it mean for us if he does? >> well, if it does that means we have to pass sanctions. we have to have a very strong response and not let this go without substantial costs. i think it also means for us we should support a resistance movement. one thing is really clear. this is where putin is wrong. this is where people like to talk about how he plays this masterful game. i think he is making potentially huge mistakes here one of which is he is under estimating the strength of the ukrainian response and the resistance. he might be able to take their conventional army within a
7:40 pm
couple weeks or less but there will be a resistance that will be very painful to him and the russian military. the ukrainians are ready to fight and we've been supporting them and helping bolster that resistance if necessary and i think vladimir putin needs to reassess. >> americans are wondering if we have to call in what you call the resistance movement. will there be ground trips from america, from nato, from allied forces? >> i don't see that happening. the president has been very clear we won't send american combat troops into action here and to be in a situation of even a close conflict with the russian military. that is the right decision by the president. we don't need to be involved in another war right after he ended our nation's longest war. there are many other things we can do to support our ukrainian partners and friends and make this the wrong move for russia. >> thank you. i appreciate your time. >> thank you, don. breaking tonight we are learning the cause of death for actor and comedian bob saget. our dr. sanjay gupta is going to

7:46 pm
>> well, it sounds like from what they're saying there is that this was a, probably a bleed that occurred on top of the brain. subdural h subdural hematoma is one of the most common scenarios. it is tough to talk about this and be so clinical. you can see a blood collection in this skcenario on top of the brain pushing on the brain. the thing about the brain like any other organ in the body it is encased in hard skull so it has nowhere to go if it has this kind of pressure on it. the pressure on the brain, on the brain stem, and ultimately someone loses consciousness and they lose their ability to breathe on their own and they subsequently die. it's really sad. you know, he was alone it sounds like. it may have been a pretty significant blow to the head. maybe a fall in the bathroom or on the headboard of your bed or
7:47 pm
something and you don't think anything of it. small veins can tear as a result of that blow and blood can start to leak. over a few hours it can accumulate. someone may lose consciousness and all of the things i just mentioned sort of transpire. so sad scenario but that's, it sounds like that is what the family is describing here. >> being in a room you're not familiar with, you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and trip and hit something and don't think about it and you go right back to bed. >> right. >> but just like hitting your head board, if you're laying back and hit the head board would that -- that is not hard enough to cause that, is it? >> i wouldn't think so. there are a couple things from a trauma neuro surgery standpoint i want to know if someone was on blood thinners for example. someone is on blood thinners that may make them more likely to bleed with a less significant blow but i think this was probably a pretty significant hit to the head. you know, a iss you mentioned, fell, slipped, hit the back of
7:48 pm
my head. it really hurt. i didn't lose consciousness. i feel okay. if someone were around and saying, hey look, do you have a headache? is it worsening? the person appears confused, slurring their speech, becoming nauseated or vomiting, things like that, those would all be indicators that something is happening that you obviously should go get checked out quickly. but again, being alone, not being certain just how significant a blow to the head did i just take, i'm just going to go to bed. that is again sad. but it sounds like what happened here. >> is it common? does this happen a lot? we don't hear about it because it is not a celebrity? >> yes. i tng is far more common than people realize these types of subdural, blood collections on the brain. they can occur in a very acute, sudden way like it sounds like with bob saget. they can be sort of slower, the blood can be slower accumulating, accumulate over days and weeks. they can even be chronic. sometimes we have older patients, people who are quite old and may have hit their head
7:49 pm
on the car, the frame of the car as they are getting inside. and again, they think oh, that hurt. they don't think anything of it. and a couple weeks later start to have symptoms. when you look at all those categories of those types of brain bleeds they are not uncommon but the situation that seems to have happened with bob saget, that is, you know, i don't want to suggest everyone who hits their head should immediately go get a ct scan. most do not need that obviously. but if it is a significant blow, you're on blood thinners. he was 65. not old but your brain does shrink as you get older so there is more room for that blood to accumulate. the symptoms, worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting, slowing of speech, you should go get it checked out. >> really sad. thank you, sanjay. appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. so much for the art of the deal the former president's much touted trade deal with china is, take this, billions of dollars short.

take this. a massive trade deal made by the self-proclaimed dealmaker, former president, it's more like no deal. a new report finds that china has fallen $213 billion short. yes, billion with a b. of its commitment to purchase u.s. goods and services in a 2020 deal made by former president trump. trump made sure everyone knew about the agreement. >> i told china a couple of months ago, do me a favor. we're going to make a deal. start buying. start buying. >> i think the biggest thing about getting the deal with china, number one, it's a great deal for us. it's an important deal for china because they were -- you know, their supply chains were
7:55 pm
breaking. >> we are doing deals like the great china deal. we'll be taking it -- $250 billion. >> everybody said you'll never make a deal with china. i made a deal with china. it's a great deal. >> kept slinging. people kept buying it. and it was quite literally a big deal. really, it made headlines here on cnn and around the world. it was set to be just phase one of trade agreements with china. so you probably would have thought it was a guarantee, right? but it didn't happen. beijing had promised to purchase $200 billion more in american exports than it had in 2017. and it required that the commitments were met by the end of the year. that deadline was missed. now president biden is suggesting that he is leaving trump-era tariffs on china in place because they didn't meet their commitments. so it looks like there just wasn't enough art in trump's deal. next, was there classified information at mar-a-lago?
