situation room. "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. outfront next, bannon threatens to go, quote, medieval as his trial for contempt of congress begins. what is his end game and will he ever appear before the january 6th committee? plus parents of the victims in the uvalde school shooting demanding accountability at a school board meeting happening right now, after the new body cam video and the scathing report shows officers failing to respond. and the doctor who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old who was raped refusing to back down despite being a target of anti-abortion activists and a previous kidnapping threat against her own daughter. let's go outfront. good evening, everyone, i'm

kate bolduan in for erin bu burnett. going, quote, medieval, that's steve bannon. bannon is defiant on his podcast. >> pray for our enemies, okay? because we're going medieval on these people. we're going to savage our enemies, so pray for them. who needs prayers? not maga, not war room, and certainly not steven k. bannon. >> after leaving court today, bannon spoke briefly to reporters. listen. >> look, it was a very good first day. it was a long day for jury selection. >> and so it goes. now bannon faces two criminal charges for his failure to comply with a house january 6th investigation. it's been ten months since he received a subpoena from the committee. the case is a major test of how much power congress really has when a witness defies a subpoena. bannon, one of the biggest purveyors of trump's election lies was a key figure in the lead-up to january 6th.

days before he was outlining trump's plan win or lose. in his words then, trump is just going to declare victory and bannon has never wavered from that message. here he is december, 2020. >> we're here for reality. trump won a massive landslide on the 3rd of november. >> according to reporters, bob woodward and robert costa, bannon convinced trump to return to d.c. from mar-a-lago for that stop the steal rally and spoke to trump twice on january 5th. one of those calls minutes before he said this. >> all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. just understand this. all hell is going to break lose tomorrow. >> and now the question is will he ever testify before the insurrection committee and will he be spending time behind wars in the meantime? sara murray is outfront live in washington with much more on this. sara, bannon's trial began today. what really happened?

>> reporter: well, basically it took all day. they were asking a pool of jurors if they had binge watched these congressional hearings, if they already had their view of whether steve bannon is guilty. even though it did take all day, they managed to seat a full pool of jurors, 22. they'll whittle it down from there beginning tomorrow. a trial steve bannon hoped to avoid. >> this is going to be the misdemeanor from hell. >> reporter: the judge meticulously asking potential jurors today if they have watched the january 6th committee hearings during a slow-moving process to find 22 impartial jurors. bannon was charged with two counts of criminal contempt of congress after defying a subpoena. the trump ally pleaded not guilty. >> i'm never going to back down. >> reporter: and hammered the committee. >> their ratings stink and they can't compete with the trial of bannon. >> reporter: house investigators wanted to know about bannon's communications with trump in the run-up to january 6th. his inflammatory comments the

day before the insurrection. >> all hell is going to break loose. it's not going to happen like you think it's going to happen. okay? it's going to be quite extraordinarily different. all i can say is strap in. >> reporter: as well as his communications with extremist groups like the proud boys, oath keepers and three percenters. since that subpoena, new revelations about bannon's political activity as new audio shows trump would declare victory regardless of the outcome. >> what trump is going to do is declare victory. he's going to declare victory. that doesn't mean he's the winner. he's just going to say he's the winner. >> steve bannon is an agent of chaos. steve bannon in his own words believes you have to basically burn the system down to rebuild it and fix it. >> reporter: staring down jail time if convicted, bannon made an 11th hour offer to the committee to testify publicly. >> i think it would have been more productive if we were on

capitol hill with open mics addressing the nation with exactly all this nonsense. this show trial they have been putting up on capitol hill. >> reporter: but the move didn't stop his trial, which is shaping up to be a key test of the committee's subpoena power as it negotiates to bring in additional witnesses. now, we should get into the opening arguments pretty quickly starting tomorrow morning. from there we're expecting it to be a relatively short trial because the judge has limited the kinds of defenses bannon can put forward. the big thing we're waiting to see is whether bannon takes the stand to testify in his own case. >> sara, thank you very much. outfront with me now, norm who served as the obama white house ethics czar. david urban is here, republican strategist and former trump campaign senior advisor and kaitlin polance was inside the courtroom today. david, you know bannon. you've known him for a long time. what do you think his end game

is here? >> i think his end game is to try to stay out of jail, kate. as you heard sara say, that's going to be tough in this instance because judge nichols, who is a trump appointee, has really limited the burden of proof for the government. the government only needs to prove that steve bannon deliberately and intentionally defied a subpoena. so it's basically the lowest standard of proof necessary to send steve to jail. so i think his end game should be to stay out of game. norm can comment on it but it's going to be pretty tough for steve to stay out. >> norm, how much does this trial matter in the grand scheme of things related to january 6th? it's obviously wrapped up in it. it's all about it, except it's not. >> well, kate, it matters because the principle of the january 6th hearings is that nobody in america is above the law. that's true if you attack a

lawful election and disrupt a peaceful transition of power, and it's true if, as steve bannon did, you defy a lawful subpoena. part of the reason, every once in a while my friend david and i do agree, part of the reason that this is such a tough case for bannon is you can't just not show up. and that's what he did. he failed to appear. he didn't do what we call on the hill the accommodation process, the negotiations, the back and forth that spared trump's former chief of staff, mark meadows, from being prosecuted by doj because he tried. so i think that principle not above the law is at stake and of course it's a lesson to everybody who may want to defy this 1/6 committee as it continues its work that there can be consequences in court. >> that may be the biggest impact of this, if that's the direction that this goes, that message that it does send clearly.

kaitlin, as i mentioned, you were in the courtroom today. how did bannon react to what was going on inside? >> bannon was there the entire time, as is his right as the defendant in this case. he listened quite intently. he really was paying attention, he was looking jurors in the eye as they were speaking, as they were answering questions from the judge and the lawyers. one of the things that was striking is it was a really big courtroom, but he is only a few feet away from the people that are going to try his case, are going to weigh the facts, the peers, the jury of peers that he has to face. one of the things that repeatedly came up was that a lot of these people, they are people who live in d.c. they're very aware of what happened on january 6th. some of them have followed headlines about bannon, read a little about the case but not gotten into much detail about them. many of them have been watching house select committee hearings, many mentioned cassidy hutchinson's testimony but not hearing bannon being mentioned.

some of them understood that if you get a subpoena, that is something you have to comply with in a lot of situations, but they were asked repeatedly if they could be impartial jurors. they were quizzed extensively by the judge and it was handled very delicately and they were able to arrive at a pool of 22. so assayer sara said, they are to get this trial going tomorrow morning. >> apparently you see steve bannon, this was the voir dire process, steve comes out and declares victory. we had a great day today. >> that's exactly what i was going to ask you, though. >> he is definitely not fearful. >> this is steve bannon, right? this is a man who, you know, damn the facts, he says what he likes to say. he loves a show. he talked about ratings, akin to trump. you know how he is and what he likes to do. i was actually going to ask you if you think that he is afraid of what's going to be playing out? >> look, again, i don't think

anybody wants to end up going to jail and being convicted, but i don't think steve bannon left that courtroom today afraid. you know, he is a -- he is a damn the torpedos full speed ahead kinda guy. come what may, he is not going to prevail in this case i don't believe, just because the threshold is pretty low. the judge has really limited what the government has to prove so it will be appealed i'm sure for a long time but it will be a victory. steve will claim victory. no matter win, lose or draw, he'll claim victory. he'll be out decrying the show trial. you heard in the previous segment steve talked five minutes about the january 6th hearings and not much about his case. he said look, i wish we had witnesses presented there and the same kind of things you hear on his talk show. i think he thinks he's winning no matter what. >> at least that's what he's going to try to say. katelyn, what are you learning about bannon's legal strategy? >> kate, going into this there

has been some press that his lawyer basically threw up his hands at a hearing and said what defenses are left to us? but in the questioning today his defense team did make clear there are some areas that they feel like they'll be able to make a defense. they always say you can fight the facts or the law. it looks like he may have the defenses on both sides. as far as the facts, one area of defense that he may have is trying to contest that this was a hard deadline for the subpoena when he didn't show up, that it was more of a movable date. the other one is that perhaps the congressional subpoena power isn't as powerful as a court subpoena or an administrative subpoena. but the one thing that was closed down today, one strategy that his team had tried was they had tried to say you're not going to be able to seat a jury. that's not going to be the case here. he is going to be able to find a jury that is impartial that can weigh this trial. >> norm, really quickly looking ahead to the january 6th committee hearing, congressman adam kinzinger now says this

next hearing will open people's eyes in a big way. do you think they could present something, some fact at this coming hearing that will be a game-changer like cassidy hutchinson's testimony was? >> well, kate, if past is prologue, in every hearing, they have had blockbuster new evidence. cassidy hutchinson was the most devastating. but all seven have been powerful. we know we're likely to hear from sarah matthews, another white house staffer. probably from others. so yes, i'm assuming that they are. they're going to go to the question of trump's intent on january 6th, his violent intent. and i think we are going to get more evidence. >> we'll see. it's good to see you all. thank you so much. outfront for us next, a district attorney and a new subpoena for another trump ally. is the georgia investigation getting closer to trump himself now? plus a special school board meeting in uvalde, texas, is

tonight a major escalation in the fulton county district attorney's probe into team trump's efforts to overturn the election in georgia. a new court filing reveals that republican congressman jody hice was issued a subpoena to appear before a grand jury this week, but hice is trying to move the proceedings from state court to federal court. the congressman is as loyal as they come to president trump. he voted to overturn the election on january 6th and repeatedly pushed and repeated the baseless claims that the election was stolen. >> not for one second am i convinced that joe biden won the state of georgia. the outcome of this past election is not a true reflection of the voice of the people of the united states. and so this is our constitutional right and at this point our constitutional duty to stand up and object. >> i don't believe, not for one moment, that georgia is blue but for election irregularities and

fraudulent activity. >> the subpoena news comes just days after yahoo!'s michael isikoff reported that fulton county d.a. sent target letters to multiple georgia republicans and warned that they could be indicted, which led to donald trump's former white house attorney ty cobb telling outfront this, that the georgia case under the control of the fulton county district attorney appears to pose a serious threat of indictment to the former president. michael isikoff is outfront. it's good to see you, michael. you are deeply sourced on this. what does the jody hice subpoena and how he's fighting it tell you about this investigation? >> well, first and foremost, it's yet more evidence of how much more aggressive fonni willis is pursuing trump and the trump campaign in this investigation than any other prosecutor out there, and obviously i'm referring there to the department of justice in washington. i mean in just the last, you

know, week and a half she has subpoenaed rudy giuliani, lindsey graham, john eastman. she sent target letters to the chairman of the georgia republican party and to the republican candidate for lieutenant governor for their role in the fake electors scheme. and now she's going after a sitting georgia congressman, jody hice. we don't know for sure, based on the public record, what it is that prompted this subpoena, but we do know this, that on december 21st, 2020, hice went to washington, had a meeting with jim jordan, mark meadows, rudy giuliani, and others to discuss the fake elector scheme and whether those fake electors, which had been selected on december 14th, could be used to pressure mike pence to disregard the actual vote total in georgia and other states and substitute electors for donald trump. >> michael, as you're

mentioning, willis seems to be moving faster than the justice department here at a pretty fast clip. what impact could that have? >> well, i mean there are -- you know, there are legal consequences and then there are obviously political consequences. just talking about the politics for a moment, clearly willis seems to be not terribly concerned with how this is going to play politically because in sending a target letter to a statewide office holder, statewide office candidate from the republican party, she's an elected democrat. and by the way, a candidate for lieutenant governor, who's running against a close ally of hers, charlie bailey, who used to work with her in the fulton county district attorney's office, and willis recently co-sponsored a fund-raiser for him. so this has big political consequences in georgia. it's like the journal

constitution reported today this has jolted the state wide races down there with some people saying this is a political move by willis to hurt trump republicans and others saying, look, she's just doing her job, pursuing evidence of criminal acts in her jurisdiction. >> we'll see how aggressive she's pushing has any impact on how fast or if the doj even speeds up what they're doing, how fast she's moving. it's good to see you, michael, thank you. >> sure, any time. outfront next, disturbing new details are emerging about the gunman who police say opened fire at an indiana mall killing three people. why police say he went to such great lentgths to try to cover his tracks. plus emotions are running very high in an extremely rare trial. the jury will decide whether the gunman in the parkland school shooting will be put to death.

we're looking live right now at pictures out of uvalde, texas, where parents and family members are attending a special school board meeting about security plans for the next school year, which is

approaching fast, and relatives of the 19 students and two teachers murdered. they are demanding answers about the security failures that allowed the gunman to enter their school, including questions about whether the classroom door was ever locked or if it operated correctly, if they knew it. here is what a relative of uziah garcia just said. >> we had people telling you all that the doors didn't lock and y'all didn't do a damn thing about it. why? >> answer, why? >> the expectation is those doors to be locked. absolutely, yes. >> y'all knew that they didn't. >> i was not aware that that lock was not working. >> okay. so then you run -- you're the superintendent. you're top dog, correct? >> yes. >> so you should know what's going on in your schools? >> correct.

>> why don't you? >> i did not know that it was working or not working at that time. >> this comes as a new report details the chaotic and confusing response by the 376 law enforcement officers that ended up on the scene that day. rosa flores is outfront. a warning, some of the video you're about to see may be disturbing. >> reporter: new body cam video. >> shots fired! get inside! >> reporter: offering a new perspective of law enforcement's failed response to the uvalde school shooting. >> what are we doing here? >> reporter: officers, sounding unsure what to do about 20 minutes after the first shots, as they wait for backup. for the first time, we see school district police chief pete arredondo hunkered down with other officers in a hallway. >> let me know if there's any kids in there or anything. >> reporter: he tries to speak to the gunman who had already fired his first shots more than 30 minutes before. >> this can be peaceful.

could you tell me your name? >> reporter: moments later, another body camry reveals relaying to officers a chilling call from a student inside a classroom. >> we have a child on the line. he is in a room full of victims at this moment. >> reporter: remember chief arredondo did not have his police radio in the hallway, telling the texas tribune he was unaware of the dispatch report. six minutes later, he's seen trying keys to open an adjacent door, none of which appear to work. minutes later, more gunfire. but the police posture is again to hunker down, as arredondo attempts to speak to the gunman. >> sir, if you can hear me, please put your firearm down, sir. we don't want anybody else hurt. >> we're trying to get him out. >> reporter: the videos released by the uvalde mayor just as the texas house committee released its damning interim report sunday on the law enforcement response, calling it chaotic,

lackadaisical, without any person obviously in charge. in that report, arredondo offers this as part of an explanation to the committee. when there's a threat, you have to visibly be able to see the threat. you have to have a target before you engage your firearm. getting fired at through the wall, coming from a blind wall, i had no idea what was on the other side of that wall. i never got to physically see the threat or the shooter. >> they were cowards, not chickens. >> reporter: the report angering uvalde victims' families. an uncle releasing this video of the two while telling cnn he wants accountability at the top. >> they stood there as people bled out. they stood there as they took their final breath. >> reporter: uvalde's mayor announcing shortly after the report came out the acting chief of the uvalde police department was put on administrative leave. >> do i still think there's a cover-up?

well, let me put it this way. this has been the worst professionally run investigation that -- i mean i've never seen anything of this magnitude. >> reporter: now, we just learned from the texas department of public safety that the ongoing criminal, and the keyword here is criminal, the ongoing criminal investigation includes examining the actions of law enforcement on that day. now, that is the first time that we've heard this, and of course after looking at that video, it's the inaction that might get police in trouble. i am just outside that school board meeting that kate was just talking about. i just stepped out moments ago. i can tell you that it's heated. it's very emotional, with some of the parents asking -- demanding, quite frankly, the school board not just to fire pete arredondo as police chief but also get rid of the superintendent. kate? >> rosa, thank you very much for that. we're going to continue watching that school meeting that's going on. outfront with me now is

republican texas state representative dustin aboburrow the chair of the committee investigating the shooting. thank you for being here. systemic failures and egregiously poor decision-making. that is how you've described what was found after the hours, the documents, the hours, the interviews, everything that you have looked at for this interim report. what do you want to see happen now from here? >> let me put it this way. i think that morning the people of uvalde had a false sense of security. they believed they had systems in place at the school level, at the law enforcement level that would have stopped this attack. i worry that those same systems and that same sense of false security exists not only throughout the state but the country in a lot of our school districts. this report has now been submitted to the texas legislature, to the texas house specifically, so that the committee is looking at policy changes and recommendations can

have a basic set of facts and look at all the different failures they talk about and figure out what we need to do from here. >> that is a big discussion that needs to be happening. even before those big policy discussions occur, as we speak, as we mentioned, a special school board meeting is under way where parents and family members of the students are pressing the school board about the failures that allowed the gunman to enter the school. a relative of one of the children killed in this attack is demanding that pete arredondo be fired after this report came out, after seeing these videos. i want to play for you a little bit of what he said. >> if he's not fired by noon tomorrow, then i want your resignation and every single one of you board members because you all do not give a damn about our children or us. stand with us or against us, because we ain't going nowhere. >> you can hear their anger and

feel, understandably feel the rage. look, we know that the job that you were tasked with here was to get the facts, not to necessarily decide who should keep or lose their jobs. but you are an elected official. we are talking about state employees. if people don't lose jobs over something as horrible as this, has the state failed these families? >> let me put it this way. i feel for the families and understand their demand for accountability. what you're seeing happening right now, and i obviously cannot watch it, is exactly what's supposed to work. people are looking to the school board, who they elect at a school board level, to put pressure and demand what they want to see happen. i'll be very interested to see what happens at the end of this school board meeting. >> after everything that you've seen, after everything that you've learned, what questions still remain for you? >> i think the biggest question is trying to figure out which officer knew what when. we know now there's almost 380

different law enforcement officers on the scene that day. what we do not know and what we don't really have the capability of knowing, i don't think we'll know for some period of time is going through each of that and figuring out who knew what when so we could look at the standards and the expectations and judge whether or not they met them or not. clearly some of the officers on the scene knew there was people in that room either being killed or dying and had a duty and responsibility to do something and do more than they did. others, however, did not have that information or had false information. we laid that out in the report. and so i think you've got to go through and explain that incrementally for everybody that was out there. >> as unsatisfying as everything is, nothing to satisfy families or really bring them closure. the work that you and the committee did is a very first step in trying to get that accountability and justice for these families. thank you for coming on, representative, i really appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. also tonight, disturbing new

details are coming out about the gunman who police say opened fire at an indiana mall killing people before a good samaritan shot and killed him. police identified the gunman as 20-year-old jonathan supeerman. police suggest he may have gone to great lengths to try to cover his tracks. a s.w.a.t. team searching his apartment found a laptop and can of butane in a high temperature oven that was still on. the fbi is going to try to analyze that laptop at quantico. officials are trying to extract data from his cell phone that was found in a toilet in a restroom at the mall. surveillance video that is too graphic to release shows the gunman rapidly shooting 24 rounds toward the food court filled with dozens of people but within moments was confronted by 22-year-old elijah dicken. >> i will say his actions were nothing short of heroic. he engaged the gunman from quite

a distance with a handgun. many more people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen that took action very quickly within the first two minutes of this shooting. >> tragically three people did die in the shooting. they have been identified as 30-year-old victor gomez, 56-year-old pedro pineta and his wife, rosa mirian rivera de pineda, who was 37 years old. outfront for us next, the parkland gunman who killed 17 people is on trial once again, a trial the likes of which this un uncountry has ever seen. plus despite the attacks the doctor who performed the abortion on a 10-year-old rape victim is standing firm. what she is saying tonight. ne rising out of water ] minions are bitin' today. ♪ liberty. libertrty. liberty. liberty. ♪

ones will have the opportunity to make statements in court during the trial. >> it should be listened to, because really we're going to spend much too long talking about the actions of this convicted killer. and not nearly enough time talking about the victims and who they were and why this is such a tragedy that they were taken from us. >> leyla is here with us now. leyla, it's been more than four years since that shooting. you were in this courtroom all day. it is clear it is so painful still for these families. >> reporter: oh, yeah. the heartache, the pain, the agony. that was palpable in that courtroom. clearly something that four years is not going to take away from them. when they listened to the audio of the cell phone video that was shown, they could hear the gunshots. they heard a male voice begging for help. they heard the wails in the
