tv Erin Burnett Out Front CNN June 27, 2022 4:00pm-5:00pm PDT
4:00 pm
details on this and will bring details as soon as we have them. >> horrible situation indeed, nick valencia thanks for the update, and viewers, thanks for watching, i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room," erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. >> "outfront" next, january 6th surprise, the select committee suddenly announcing the new hearing tomorrow they say with new evidence and witness testimony. and we're learning the fbi seized the phone of john eastman, the architect behind trump's plan to overturn the election, plus cnn exclusive tonight, vice-president kamala harris warning more to come in the wake of the supreme court's decision to overturn roe v wade and following a story out of missouri, amtrak derailment, killing multiple people, injuring at least 50. let's go "outfront." good evening, i'm erin burnett,
4:01 pm
"outfront" tonight, new evidence, january 6th committee abruptly scheduling a hearing for tomorrow. last week, said no additional hearings until next month and then suddenly a hearing scheduled for tomorrow as the committee released only a brief statement, including quote, recently obtained evidence and witness testimony. this is a very sudden reversal for the committee and it comes at an important context. we just learned federal agents seized the phone of trump's election attorney, john eastman, man who presented trump a road map for overturning the election. someone who was right there, front and center, in trump's ear in the days and weeks ahead of the deadly insurrection. and someone who was working the phones for trump. so his phone is now seized. here's just some of the testimony we've heard so far about the importance of john eastman. >> and what it, dr. eastman want you to do? that we would in fact vote, take a vote, to overthrow, or i
4:02 pm
shouldn't say overthrow -- that we would decertified the electors. >> what did the president say when he called you? >> essentially, turned the calling over to mr. eastman who proceeded to talk about the importance of the rnc helping the campaign gather these contingent electors. >> all right, i want to begin our coverage tonight on capitol hill with melanie zenona, m melanie, what more are you learning of the abruptly scheduled hearing, it wasn't nothing until july suddenly something so important and new they're going to do it tomorrow? >> reporter: right, this was a complete sprurprise, not planni on hearings until mid july, really wanted to take the next few week to see go through evidence, new documentary film footage obtained and congress is on a recess now which means most lawmakers are not even here in washington so the collect committee must have uncovered
4:03 pm
something they felt was so urgent and so compelling that they decided to hold an emergency hear to get try to get this information out as soon as possible. and remember, up until this point, select committee has been very careful and deliberate with how they orchestrate these hearings so would have not thrown together a last minute hearing unless they thought time was of the essence. we do not know who the witness is tomorrow or what testimony they will reveal, the committee has been incredibly tight-lipped about this, different from how they normally operated and adding to the sort of intrigue around here but we do know after the hearing started, tips started pouring in to the tip line, committee members also using the hearings to implore new witnesses to come forward so perhaps those efforts worked but we'll have to wait and see until tomorrow, erin. >> it is probably incredible, we heard, if you see something, say something, and maybe that did yield something. but as you point out, melanie, and we should emphasize so everyone watching, that committee's not out talking.
4:04 pm
right? and they usually are out, you know, being willing to address the public and they're not doing so ahead of this hearing. i want to go now to our justice reporter, also in washington, and caitlin, you got to put in the context of this phone, john eastman's phone being seized, what more are you learning. >> so we have learned the fbi, a separate investigating body than capitol hill, this would be the justice department, is seizing the phone of just a eastman, this right wing lawyer working with donald trump last week, the same day that there was a search also conducted by federal agents of another top lawyer close to trump, wanting to push these election lies, named jeffrey clark at the justice department. so what happened was this was in new mexico. there were about 6 fbi agent that is went up to john eastman as he was exiting a restaurant after dinner, they patted him down, got his phone, had his iphone on him, had him unlock it with his face and able to access
4:05 pm
and seize his phone and email communications on them so the reason we're learning about this now is because this is a search warrant that would have come through the court system, eastman is going to court and asking a judge, please put this on hold, don't let the justice department use these emails. we're learning of it from him. he's saying that he believes it's just the office of inspector general of the justice department conducting this search. i've reached out to them and they don't have a comment at this time. >> kim, i want to ask you one follow-up here, any significance to the fact he was willing to unlock it, used his face to do so, i mean companies, again and again have backed not sharing that information. but he did let them do it. >> well, this is something that he's contesting now. he doesn't want -- he doesn't believe the way they approached him was proper and that they forced him to unlock it but it is one of those things that is a tactic the fbi could use, to hold the phone in front of him, have him unlock it.
4:06 pm
>> right, i guess if you hold it in front of him, it's facial recognition, you can, whether you were willing or not may not matter. caitlin, thank you so much for your reporting. i want to bring in now gloria, our chief political analyst along with eizen, former council to house democrats you remember from the first impeachment trial, norm, half a dozen him a restaurant, gain access to emails using the face unlock which i guess there's now a question whether they sort of held it up without him agreeing or not, you know, you heard caitlin reporting it there, unclear, how significant is this? >> erin, thanks for having me back. it's very significant, because what we've seen with the search warrants on trump's outside coup lawyer, john eastman, last week, on his inside council who advised this coup, jeff clark,
4:07 pm
is the justice department signaling the seriousness of the case. you need to make a legal showing to get these warrants. in terms of the unlocking of the warrant, i've looked at the information, and the warrant actually provided for the phones to be unlocked. so that was pursuant to the warrant. so to me, what it signals is this was a coup, not with guns and bullets, with lawbooks and statutes. you have two of the lawyers who were in deep trouble. that points to the client, donald trump. >> and gloria, to this point, this seizing of john eastman's cell phone comes on the same day that the fbi raided the actual home of jeffrey clark, the doj lawyer. >> what a coincidence. >> right, randomly on the same day. so, you know, you take those two data points, how close is this all getting to trump himself? >> well, these are people who were very much in his orbit, and as norm was pointing out, these were the people who were talking
4:08 pm
about decertifying the electors and trying to figure out a way to get around a free and fair election. and, you know, you have to go to a judge before you can get this kind of search warrant. and you have to show some kind of probable cause that there may have been a crime committed. so i think this is pretty serious, and as we know, donald trump is kind of obsessed with these hearings. you can't blame him for whoatchg these things and i'm sure he's not thrilled about these developments since these two men were key in forming, sort of, the rationale for their, the coup. >> norm -- the hearings schedule obviously has changed multiple times but it had been left that at the end of last week that they were having hearings in july and put out all the requests for new information and we knew about the jeffrey clark raid and all these things. it was still going to be july. and, you know, after july 4th, and now, all of a sudden,
4:09 pm
shocking everybody, there's hearing tomorrow. 24 hours notice hearing tomorrow, new information has come in and witnesses are involved. what do you think is behind this sudden change? >> well, erin, you know, the committee has earned a great deal of creditability. so just as they postponed one hearing, the doj hearing which turned out to be a block buster one, that pointed to the possible culpability of that other lawyer, jeffrey clark, now they have seemingly moved up that plans for the hearing schedule. having tried many cases, worked on the hill, sometimes witnesses do step forward who have dramatic new information and you don't delay when that happens. get them on the stand, that's always been my watch word when trying cases. so that -- i take them at face value. they have something explosive here. >> and that's the question, gloria, norm uses the word
4:10 pm
explosive. how much is at stake if they do not deliver that? >> well, you know, obviously, their creditability to a degree is at stake, although i believe they've choreographed these hearings so carefully that i can't imagine that they would call a special hearing that was a dud. that wouldn't provide new information. particularly, since they already announced they weren't going to have hearings until july. so what i have to presume is that perhaps, given what they've seen on these 11 hours of video, perhaps our new archival information. perhaps, new information that comes from a witness who may be reluctant and they want to get this witness to testify quickly, all of that put together, said to them, you know, we have to get this out now because perhaps it follows the story we heard from the department of justice attorneys. and they've been telling this narrative in a very deliberate way. so they want to continue with that narrative before you kind
4:11 pm
of lose the momentum of it. and that's what i'm kind of presuming, but in the end, we'll know tomorrow. >> both of you, thank you so much, we will know tomorrow, everyone of course will be waiting and watching for that. next, some new details just coming in, there has been a deadly train derailment, amtrak in missouri, video showing the terrifying aftermath of the train, you see there completely on its side, multiple cars and we have been told multiple people were killed and at least 50 injured, story is developing, numbers developing. plus, vice-president kamala harris in exclusive interview after the fall of roe v wade with our own dana bash saying justice thomas clearly signalled the court's ultimate goal is to take away more individual rights. >> i think he just said the quiet part out loud. >> referring of course to justice thomas. and election denier barred from running elections in her own country -- county, sorry, now overseeing elections for the entire state.

4:16 pm
police say it happened after the train hit a dump truck and you see the train cars bun after another flipped on their side, 143 passengers we understand on that train, i'll show you video that one of them shot inside the train just moments after it tipped over. >> [ bleep ]. >> you can see just a feel for the disarray there and the fear, nick valencia is out front, so nick, what else do you know about what could have caused this horrific accident. >> hey, there, erin, what a terrifying scene there earlier today. two hours northeast of kansas city and what we know is this fatal incident occurred at a public crossing that was uncontrolled, this, according to the missouri highway patrol meaning no lights or electronic arms blocking that public crossing from passenger vehicles. the amtrak train was traveling earlier today from los angeles to chicago with 243 people on board as well as 12 crew members
4:17 pm
when it struck that dump truck which was blocking that public crossing, erin. >> wow, so i know we understand that there are multiple fatalities, at least, you know, many injuries so far. what else are you hearing from people on the train? >> yeah, at least 50 people injured now and at least three people killed as a result of that fatal accident. other three people transferred to the hospital and just hearing these harrowing stories of survival including from the man who shot that video we showed a moment ago, we talked to him shortly after the incident and could tell he was still in shock. >> decided to take a nap before my lunch reservation and then i heard like a, i don't know what i heard, and then everything started to go in slow motion. i was afraid the windows were going to smash, so i shimmied myself up against an exit to the room and then we slid and then we came to a stop. >> you can see from
4:18 pm
nightingale's video, several people literally standing on top of those overturned train cars. one image showed a passenger which appeared to be a passenger being extracted from one of the broken windows of the train cars. it happened in a rural area, erin, as you can see, really nothing around there which is why this public crossing was uncontrolled. this is the second time in as many days an amtrak train collided with a passenger vehicle and as you mentioned earlier, this is an active and fluid situation, working on gathering more details. >> obviously, incredibly remote. two hours outside kansas city, and very rural as you can see looking at the live pictures. nick valencia, thank you very much as we get more on the developing stories, fatalities, injuries, will keep you posted throughout this hour. next, though, vice-president kamila harris in an exclusive interview with our dana bash with this warning tonight about contraception and same sex marriage.

new tonight, a louisiana judge temporarily blocking the state's trigger law after banning roe v wade, as states move rapidly to either protect or ban the right. these are the states right now where boabortion rights are guaranteed, while abortions are banned or severely restricted in these 10 states in orange. abortion bans or severe restricts likely in the 15 states now lit up in brown, with louisiana now in limbo, you see how it quickly changes.
4:24 pm
d a dana bash, first interview since the ruling friday, warns americans are in danger of losing more rights. here's dana's exclusive interview. >> madam vice-president, thank you so much for having me here. you were on a plane when the supreme court overturned roe v wade. as the highest ranking woman ever elected in u.s. history, what was going through your mind at that moment? well so i was on air force ii heading to illinois to talk about maternal health. we were with lauren underwood, with the chair of judiciary, senate judiciary, we were headed there to unveil a plan of, based on a work we've been doing to ensure that women receive the kind of support they need during and post pregnancy. and, you know, we thought the decision would come down sometime soon but not at that moment and i was shocked.
4:25 pm
and, you know, it's one thing when you know something's going to happen, it's another thing when it actually happens and i just actually turned to cnn and i couldn't believe it. i couldn't believe it. because they actually did it. and here's what they did. the court actually took a constitutional right that has been recognized for half a century and took it from the women of america. that's shocking. when you think about it, in terms of what that means, in terms of democratic principles, in terms of the ideals upon which we were founded, about liberty, about freedom. you know, i thought about it as a parent, you know, we have two children in their '20s a son and a daughter. i thought about it as a god parent of teenagers. i thought of it as an aunt of
4:26 pm
preschool children. >> and a woman yourself. >> and a woman myself. and a daughter of a woman. and a granddaughter of a woman. and, you know, my husband and i actually talking about it, we have a 23-year-old and my mother-in-law in her 80s. our daughter will not know the rights for the amount of time that my mother in law knew these rights, which is the right that should be well-settled, that a woman should have to make decisions about her own body. and when we think about it, everyone has something at risk on this. first of all, if you are a parent of sons, do think about what this means for the life of your son. and what that will mean in terms of the choices he will have. do think about it in the context of the fact that they wrote this decision including concurring
4:27 pm
opinions that suggest other rights such as the decisions of when to start a family, the freedom and the right to make decisions about contraception. iuds. what this is going to mean in terms of in vitro fertilization. >> let me ask about that, justice thomas what you are referring to, did write an opinion that the court should reconsider other cases of precedent, to protect same sex marriage, contraception, intimacy, and more. >> right, right. >> do you think that the supreme court is on a path to reverse those as well? >> i definitely believe this is not over. i do. i think he just said the quiet part out loud. and i think that is why we all must really understand the significance of what just happened. this is profound. and the way that this decision
4:28 pm
has come down has been so driven, i think, by the politics of the issue, versus what should be the values that we place on freedom and liberty in our country. right? the right to privacy. let's think of this in the context of the laws that are being passed in states, dana, in 13 states, by my count, they will not allow a woman to have access to reproductive health and to an abortion if she is the victim of rape or incest. so let me tell you something. as a former prosecutor who specialized in crimes of violence against women and girls and in particular, child sexual assault and rape, the idea that after a woman has endured such violence to her body that she would not have the freedom and
4:29 pm
authority to decide whether she wanted to continue with a pregnancy that is a result of an act of violence is absolutely unthinkable. >> so, because you are now the vice-president of the united states, part of an administration that is pledging to fight back to find ways to protect women's rights to abortion, i want to ask you some of the things that are kind of out there that some of your former female senators, senate colleagues are asking the decision administration to do. will the administration actively challenge state laws that make it a crime for someone to help a woman travel to another state for an abortion? >> so the president rightly last week, one of the decisions came down, indicated, quite unambiguously that we will do everything within our power as an administration, through the executive branch, to ensure that
4:30 pm
women have access to the medication they need, which has been, by the way, fda approved. and that they will have freedom of travel and that travel should be unrestricted. >> and you're going to do that through the courts if need be? >> i'm sure that our department of justice is going to do that, based on every statement the attorney general has made. >> can the administration expand abortion access or abortion services on federal land? meaning, provide the access on federal land that might be in and around states that ban abortion? >> i think that what is most important right now is that we ensure that the restrictions that the states are trying to put up that would prohibit a woman from exercising what we still maintain is her right, that we do everything we can to empower women to not only seek, but to receive the care where it is available. >> is it federal land one of those options? >> i mean it's not right now
4:31 pm
what we are discussing, but i will say that when i think about what is happening in terms of the states, we have to also recognize, dana, that we are 130-odd days away from an election which is going to include senate races, right, part of the issue here is that the court is acting, now congress needs to act. but we, if you count the votes, don't appear to have the votes in the senate. well there's an election happening in 130-odd days, thinking for example of the senate race in georgia or north kier carolina, coming up in a couple weeks in colorado and we need to change the balance and have pro-choice legislatures who have the power to make decisions about whether this constitutional right will be in law, right, we saw cautified, put it in law, so that there will be no ambiguity about it. >> and i want to ask you about that in a second, just a couple more questions because what i'm hearing and you probably are too, is what can this democratic
4:32 pm
administration do right now with any executive power that the president has? can the administration actually increase access to medication abortion? >> i think we're pretty clear that, to the extent that we can, we will. there's no question about that. because, again, it is fda approved and if it is prescribed, if, that a woman should be able to have access to it, unfettered . >> and what about the idea of financial resources? some form of voucher for travel, childcare services, other forms of support for people, for women seeking abortions in states where it's not legal but they just don't have the means to go elsewhere. >> i think you're asking a very important point, making a very important point, which is what are the details that are going to go into ensuring that women have the ability to actually travel without impairment and we know that on this issue, women who have access to resources
4:33 pm
will probably be far less impacted by this decision than women who don't have resources. so this is something we are looking at, because we know, for example, in terms of how this is actually going to impact real people, over half of women who receive abortions in america are moms. that means that if they're going to have to travel, they've got to find daycare and pay for it. it means that theyw, if they ar working, which most are, are going to have to have time from work and if they don't have paid leave, going to have to figure out how to afford it, means they may have to put up money for a train or plane or bus, much less a hotel so we want to make sure that there does not result ex tr ext extreme disparities on who can receive care based on how much money they got. >> the details here so crucial, dana, as you break them down with the vice-president.
4:34 pm
i know she had some very harsh words, obviously mentioned justice thomas to you, but also about supreme court justices gorsich and kavanaugh, what did she say about them? >> she was a united states senator when both of them were confirmed and she wasn't on the judiciary committee for gorsich but was for kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing when he talked about roe and called it precedent on precedent and some of her former colleague senators have said that they think the two of them just flat-out lied during their confirmation hearing in order to get their votes. her answer, she, again, voted no on both of those, was i never believed them. i didn't believe them. that's why i voted against them. >> very interesting. all right, dana, thank you so much, and of course, throughout the evening we'll hear more from dana's exclusive interview with the vice-president. thanks again to dana. and next, illinois, when you hear the vice-president talk
4:35 pm

4:39 pm
tonight, amid the abortion rights confusion across the country, one governor opening the door to abortion access from out of state, saying he expects 30,000 women to come to his state for an abortion, it's the stale of illinois and surrounded by a whole lot of states in limbo when they outright banned the procedure. governor of illinois joins me now and governor, i appreciate your time tonight. are you already seeing women traveling to your state from other states, neighboring or otherwise, where all of a sudden abortion is banned or seemingly close to being banned coming to illinois for abortions? >> we are. over the last year, more than 10,000 from neighboring states who probably already know and you showed a map of it. abortion has been severely restricted, now banned in every state around us. one on its way to banning it entirely, so we've already seen many, many women coming here to exercise their reproductive rights. >> so, republicans say,
4:40 pm
governor, as you know, that the issue should be left to voters in the states. all right, that they're not banning abortion, they're giving the states the right to ban abortion and in your state nothing will change because that the what the voters in your state want, what you're going to do, if they don't like what you're doing, could vote you out and put in a governor who thinks differently. how do you think about this intellectually, why don't the governors and state legislatures set the laws in states like yours. >> because we don't vote on fundamental constitutional rights, the right to privacy as established is something every american has, just like they do the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. you know, we -- it's important for us, at the state level, to protect our people from encroachment of the federal government, but this is a fundamental right. everybody should have it, i've been fighting for this my entire
4:41 pm
life, really, my mother had me marching with her in the 1970 on behalf of womens reproductive rights and lgbtq rights and so on and now here we are. first time in my life a right has been taken away from people. we've always expanded rights, now they're contracting. >> so, you know, of course, obviously, when you talk about privacy, it's not technically in the constitution, the court established it in roe and upheld it via precedent, but do you have frustration now that the congress failed for 40 years to codify in federal law, never even anything, even though it was clear there were people, powerful parties who were going to be trying to do this to roe the second they could? >> well, brown v board of education isn't something we had to codify. the supreme court, you know, ruled on it and i don't think any of us expected it will be reversed. well now, it feels like anything
4:42 pm
can be reversed. so am i disappointed that congress hasn't been able to do it? look, i think it make it is more important ever now in 2022 that we elect pro-choice people to the united states congress and those are going to be democrats. of course, we also have to make sure, as you've pointed out, in every state we're electing democratic governors and democratic legislatures because it's the only way we're going to be able to protect womens rights. >> i also want to ask you about something else that's obviously very important for your state and that is, is revenue, obviously, in the context of providing a safe haven for abortion for people for other states. that's relevant and relevant for your state overall governor. the hedge fund citadel and trading fund citadel securities leaving, they say, to miami, after nearly 30 years in chicago. head of citadel, i want to note, ken griffin, backing a republican challenging you for governor but it's not just, they say they're leaving because of high taxes and high crime. caterpillar which has been a
4:43 pm
stalwart of your state, leaving illinois for texas. boeing, i remember the day kwukw covering as a business reporter, moving from seattle to chicago, now leaving for virginia. do you have a problem in i illinois? >> i fight for every job in the state, of course to attract headquarters and companies to put their factories and facilities in our state, in fact you may have read in the last two weeks, kelloggs is moving the main portion of their business to chicago, so we have a lot of comings and goings, the same thing is true of population. our population grew, our jobs are growing in the state, and yeah, i don't like to see any company headquarters get up and leave but just to give one example, caterpillar has 17,400 jobs in our state, still, 240 are leaving. 17,400 are staying and hundreds have been added in the last year here. boeing, same thing.
4:44 pm
they had their office, relatively small, leave, but they added 350 jobs downstate building defense-related products of theirs. so i don't like anybody leaving. i also would point out that the head of citadel had political reasons that he wanted to leave. you mentioned that. and he's been threatening to do that for some time. look, i believe in illinois as a place for business and we're open for business here and attracting many, many more jobs. so i'm pleased about that and then many small businesses, we have the largest growth of small businesses per capita of any of the large states. so i hope everybody knows we're open for business in illinois. >> all right, governor, appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> and next, voters about to go to the polls in colorado where one republican conspiracy theorist who is actually charged with trying to breach voting machines is now running to control the entire state elections. and tonight, president biden

it's unbeatable internet for a more unbeatable gru. i mean, you. tonight, one of the most daring terrorist attacks in european history. that's a quote from ukrainian president zelenskyy. that's what he's calling a strike on a mall that killed 15 and injured many more. >> reporter: panicked screams, impenetrable dust and smoke. these are the terrifying moments that followed a missile strike in central ukraine. the might of russia's air power unle unleashed unshockingly.
4:58 pm
the city is a long way from russia's war. president volodymyr zelenskyy says the site has no strategic value. it's not a threat to russian forces. it's just a place where people were trying to live normal lives. only hours before the attack, zelenskyy told a meeting of allies, including president joe biden, ukraine needs modern missile defense systems to protect civilians from russia's intensifying air campaign. dozens of missiles were launched at targets across the country over the weekend. one hit this apartment block in kyiv, ending weeks of relative calm in the capital. ukraine also wants more heavy artillery to help battle russia's advancing forces in the east of the country. russia is slowly expanding its control of the donbas region, squeezing ukrainian forces and local civilians from three directions. the key city of sla vens k is within easy reach of rockets.

5:00 pm
that will be welcomed news here, but it will also be scrutinized very closely. what will the capabilities of this system be? how much of this large country will be covered and protected? because as russia has shown repeatedly and indeed has proven again today, it has both the will and the ability to hit almost any target, including civilian targets, at any time it likes almost anywhere in this country, erin. >> phil black, thank you very much. sobering reality in ukraine. thanks so much for joining us. thanks so much for joining us.
