washington post reporting tonight that text from trump's acting homeland security secretary chad wolf and his deputy can cuccinelli are missing. they tell the post that the textbook from a key period leading up to january 6th. we have a new cnn exclusive reporting tonight that prosecutors are getting ready for a court battle to force former trump white house officials to testify about conversations they had with the former president. joining me now to discuss all of this, senior crime and justice reporter caitlin pollens, and john wood, former senior investigator for the january six committee. also with us evening, mr. marc mackinnon, the executive producer of the emmy nominated the circus and former adviser to george w. bush. good evening one and all. have to admire the hat.
8:03 pm
you gotta, mark mckinnon. you guys gotta get your hat game on. caleb got her glasses game. i don't know. >> i got nothing. >> john, you got a good luta. >> good evening one at all, caitlin, according to post at the washington post, these techs were lost in the reset of government phones after they left office. it sounds an awful lot like we heard the same thing we heard from the secret service, how does this fit with everything that we know? >> all right, don, this is about a text messages missing, we just heard a story just like this a few weeks ago, but it is a totally new thing. what we're learning here, from this washington post reporting tonight, is that the acting homeland security secretary at the end of the trump administration and his deputy, so that's chad wolf and ken cuccinelli, that their texts have gone missing. and the department of homeland security told the inspector general, so this independent watchdog that overlooks that agency in february, that these texts were lost in a reset of
8:04 pm
their phones, whenever they left the trump administration. so now, the hill is finding out about it, this is basically the exact same pattern that we saw a few weeks ago, related to another part of the department of homeland security and the secret service. where secret service messages were essentially just went proof. they were gone. and they were lost, deleted, in a migration progress, that's what the agency had said so far. so the house committee reaction so far to this is strong, chairman bennie thompson of the house select committee says this is extremely troubling, and clearly, the secret service has questions that they're going to have to get answered, for the house select committee and there will be questions for the people at the top of the dhs as well at the end of the trump administration. >> okay, so now administration is saying a reset, the other admins is saying migration. the dhs inspector general was notified that these were missing in late february.
8:05 pm
but he didn't press the issue or notify congress. and democrats have already called on him to recuse himself over the secret service debacle. does he have any credibility left? >> well, it certainly seems like a mistake for him not to have notified congress about this. but the part that i'm this most disturbed about, is how the secret service failed to preserve text messages after the inspector general specifically asked them for text messages from that time period. that's the part i find most bizarre. i'm not necessarily saying it was an intentional effort to destroy evidence, but if it wasn't incompetence, it was on a tremendous scale. >> mark mckinnon, look, let's not forget that these are officials who are under pressure to seize voting machines. that and say the election was rigged, right? this stinks to high heaven. >> well, don, it just begs the obvious questions, which is that the individuals who have conveniently locked text
8:06 pm
messages are only the officials who had oversight or direct responsibility for the activities of that day. over this security or whatever it was. all the other cabinet officials, they have their phones preserved. other text messages are preserved. so, it's only the people who had a direct line of responsibility and authority over that day, and certainly had text messages disappearing. so that to me is highly problematic. >> mark, let me ask you this, you're out on the hill a lot, you're doing great work up you guys are always there. what questions would you and your reporters be asking right now in the situation? >> well, i would make sure and get those individuals cuccinelli and chad wolf i have the department of justice get them before a grand jury and ask them questions about what was on those phones. i mean, that specifically is
8:07 pm
what i would ask them, but it's obviously going to take a grand jury to do that. i'm compelled by the all the motion i see at the department of justice, where the criminal oversight and the consequences are much greater than they are for the january six committee. i'm bothered by it, i hope congress will change the laws and the consequences of not showing up for congress for a subpoena. because someone like steve bannon, i guarantee you, he wants to go to jail for a couple years if that's all it is. because he'll just be a martyr like g gordon libby. >> caitlin, you helped break the story about the justice department tonight, so walk us through what we know. >> so, this justice department investigation has been very busy. the grand jury activity has been really busy, the federal courthouse in d.c., in recent weeks. and evan perez and i learned that the justice department is trying or is getting ready to engage in a court fight,
8:08 pm
essentially, with donald trump to try and gain access to information that trump was saying statement that he was making around january 6th and the days before. the reason this is coming up is because to top advisers to the vice president at the time, guys they marc short and greg jacob, they went into the grand jury as part of this january 6th criminal investigation with the justice department is conducting. and there were certain areas that they couldn't speak about their. because of potential executive privilege claims. so now, we are looking to see a possible court fight coming, the justice department is preparing to try and go after that information, so they can continue to get information, and nail down exactly what donald trump said up to and on the 6th of january. >> john, you know we are also learning tonight that the january six committee intends to share 20 witness interview transcripts with doj, how could these help of their investigation?
8:09 pm
>> well, it's hard to know exactly how far along the justice department investigation is. it certainly seems at times like the january 6th house committee was ahead of the justice department in terms of their interviews with some of the witnesses. and so, i know the justice department wouldn't want to interview these people themselves, but if they can get a head start and prepare by reviewing transcripts from the house committee, that could be very helpful to them. >> yeah. caitlin, i want to ask you about the january six committee investigation, because i understand you getting some new information about that. they are now focusing on the former trump cabinet officials. do you know who they're looking at specifically? >> don, they've already spoken to a few members of trump's cabinet. the list of names is pretty long, there's already eight of them, john ratcliffe is the director of national intelligence that they're trying to get an interview with now, working that out. mike pompeo, the former secretary of state, they're trying to talk to him. but today, they were speaking to mick mulvaney, we know they already get interviewed steve mnuchin there's others they talk to, chris miller from the
8:10 pm
defense department, chad wulf from dhs, he isn't contacted by the committee, there's a justice department folks, there's gene scalia from the labor department. that's a lot of talking of people in the cabinet, that's at least eight cabinet seats represented out of, that's basically a third of the entirety of the presidents cabinet. and what the house select committee is trying to figure out is, were their cabinet members who felt like donald trump was unfit to serve as president after january 6th? did they want to invoke the 25th amendment? what happened in those conversations? >> right. on so mark, do you know, because it's a lot of folks as kaitlan just pointed out, you talk to many of these figures as part of the circus. many of them are unlikely to be willing to trash their former boss. so, what do you think is motivating them to speak to this committee no? >> well, i think it's looking more and more as the department of justice as i mentioned earlier, the consequences are just much greater for perjury, whatever, violation there might be. there is real hard time
8:11 pm
consequences. john, let me just say, when you get this all up, there's so much going on the developments every day, i'm really struck by the following things as a result of these hearings. history will record, unequivocally, that donald trump lost the election, in trump knew he lost the election, and he tried to illegally overturn the election, and then encouraged an insurrection at the capitol, knowing that there would be weapons. those four things will be irrefutable recorded by history, and if anybody tries to deny that in the course of the grand jury hearings, i think they're gonna be in trouble. >> yeah. all the people that we mentioned, you know, the screen with all of the players on that caitlin talked about, these are not never trumpers. these are people who stuck by trump until the very end, even now. and they are speaking to this committee in the committee is trying to get information, they're speaking to the doj and or the committee, but as you say, there are different consequences, much more serious consequences when you talk about that. >> don, if i can just interject, the thing that's compelling
8:12 pm
about all this to, that all of this is not partisan. its allies of trump and civil servants. >> thank you all, appreciate it. the january six committee wants to talk to trump director of national security, john ratcliffe, what does he know and what can he tell them, a man who held the job weighs in, that's james clapper he's here, next. next. alexa, ask buick to start my enclave. starting your buick enclave. i just love our new alexa. dad, it's a buick. i love that new alalexa smell. it's a buick. we need snacks for the team. alexa, take us to the nearest grocery store. getting directions. alexa will get us there in no time. it's a buick. let's be real. don't make me turn this alexa around. oh my. it's painful. the buick enclave, with available alexa built in. ask “alexa, tell me more about buick suvs.”

8:16 pm
8:17 pm
james clapper. thank you for joining. so glad that you're here. the committee wants to interview ratcliffe, here is testimony from cassidy hutchinson saying that he warned the white house that they should not get involved with efforts to overturn the election. here it is. >> director ratcliffe felt that it wasn't something that the white house should be pursuing. it felt it was dangerous for the presidents like a sea. he had expressed that he was concerned that it could spiral out of control and potentially be dangerous. either in our democracy or for the latest of the january six. >> so the direct arises to hear directly from him and what do you think they should ask? >> well, i think that it is quite important that the
8:18 pm
committee hear from him and what led him to make, to express that concern as cassidy hutchinson expressed. and, if he did so, well good on him for that. i've been a little misfired about the way that he might be able to cast the events of january six. but whatever led him to come to that conclusion, and it may not have been based on any source of intelligence, it's just his view as a citizen, as a former member of congress. and as a dni as or could have been. it may indicate that he had some insight into what was a foot with the assault to be on the capital. you, know if he was pressed by the white house or the president, personally to push
8:19 pm
these false narratives about, you know the assault was led by antifa or was a false flag for the and to i. and have some foreign involvement, it would -- be and the other thing i think the committee might ask him about as he was involved in or aware of discussions about potential and invoking of the 25th amendment. >> i want to turn out to the president, president biden's call with his chinese counterpart today. the major issue discussed was taiwan with xi jinping, telling biden, quote, if you play with fire you get burned. tensions are clearly high. what can biden do about it? >> well, i think, first of all it is always a good thing when the heads of states of nuclear power speak. and, apparently, this is a pretty thorough lengthy discussion, two hours plus accounting for translation. so, that is a good thing.
8:20 pm
my own view is, you know, i wonder about the maturity or lack of chinese foreign policy. where they get this excited, this exercised over a potential trip by the speaker of the house. and, there is precedent for this. it is an old one. but the new gingrich wet. i think 1997. and, nothing on tour happened. so i don't know whether this is a distraction because of challenges that she faces domestically, with covid and a swell in the conemaugh or what. but i hope that we don't just roll over and are intimidated by such rhetoric. let's turn now to russia. i, mean there's no word back from russia. but when it comes to the operative trade, the country -- for brittney griner and paul whelan, it has been three weeks. what is putin up to, do you
8:21 pm
think? >> well in my view, don this is the one area where putin's got leverage over us. lately, it's, been you know the other way around with sanctions and all of that. so here is one area where he knows he's got the upper hand. where we are kind of in a position where he knows how badly we want our people back. he knows, he understands the pressure that the president is under. so, i would forecast stretching the south. according to what i understand of the soviet, excuse me for audience, if russian judicial process, britney griner's trial process would have to be finished before there could be a deal struck to really surfer victor. who, by the way, i don't think the russians care anything about. and, this is yet another
8:22 pm
demonstration. not that we need one of russia's cynicism and duplicity. >> another subject now. the saudi-backed golf tournament begins today at one of the former presidents property. and, we've got more on this in just a few minutes. but, this is trump defending hosting the event. watch. >> what do you say that those family members who protests that, earlier this week will be doing so on friday? >> well, nobody's got into the bottom of 9/11, unfortunately. they showed up as to the many accidents and did that for boating tours, to the two are, contrary to the world. so, nobody's really been there. but, i can tell you that there are a lot of great really people around there today. we're going to have a lot of fun. >> yes, i mean remarkable coming from the former president who would have access to all of the intelligence. >> well, he had his chance, for four years to get to the bottom of whatever mystery there is
8:23 pm
here. i think it's really poor form for the sake of 9/11 families and others for him to host an event that's sponsored by and sanctioned by mbs. was more on his hands himself. so, this is kind of a typical president trump's hypoxia and duplicity. because, i recall during the run up to the 26 campaign, 2016 campaign where he was, you know separating the saudis for being guilty of the 9/11 attack, et cetera, et cetera. and of, course hosting this event is his way of getting away with the pga who suspended golfing events at his golf courses after january six. >> director, thank you so much. i really appreciate it. so, the director just mentioned
8:24 pm
9/11. 9/11 families are furious with the former president for hosting that back golf tournament. is he turning a blind eye to saudi rebels abysmal human rights record? you might have heard of carvana and that we sell cars online. we believe buying a car should be something that gets you hyped up. and that your new car ought to come with newfound happiness and zero surprises. and all of us will stop at nothing to drive you happy. we'll drive you happy at carvana.
8:25 pm
8:28 pm
okay so, he says nobody has gotten to the bottom of 9/11? as a way to excuse the anger in the fury of 9/11 families at the former president who is boasting the saudi-backed liv golf tournament at his bedminster golf tournament this weekend, mother of one 9/11 victims it tells us this. >> nothing surprises me about
8:29 pm
this man now. and what does surprise me, is that the professional golfers have been morally compromised in my view. through greed. that's what really surprises me. >> let's bring in now sports writer rick riley, he is the of offer of so help me gulf, and commander-in-chief eat, how golf explains trump. hey rick, thanks for joining us. this is a call highly controversial topic here. we're seeing these pictures of trump at his liv golf tournament, the glitz and glam for him. but people are accusing him and these golfers of turning a blind eye to the actions of saudi arabia. why is he doing this? >> because he loves the attention. he had a tournament set to go at that club, the pga, and he got it taken away after this little coup thing that he helped incite. and so somehow, he thinks the pga tour was to blame for that,
8:30 pm
even though he's getting the mixed up. that's the pga of america. this is the pga tour. but he doesn't care. by the way, he lives at that golf course. so, all of a sudden, the guy who was so upset about 9/11 when he was running in 2016, oh, no one's ever gotten to the bottom of it. well, the reason he's saying that, is because he's in bed with the saudis, and the saudis are people who said 15 of the 19 terrorists who are now getting reporting that he may have fine it financially back some of these terrorists, they killed gay people, they killed journalists, they disappear dissenters, and all of a sudden, he's forgetting that. because it's called sports washing. it's a great way to take your despotic country, which has a horrible human rights record, and wash it through sports. and aren't we all great? because look how much fun we have playing golf. >> explain that to us. hold on. this concept called sports washing, can you explain with this is? is that with this liv tournament is all about? >> not the tournament, the
8:31 pm
whole tour. they don't play golf in saudi arabia, there's 14 courses in the whole country, nine of those are sand, half of them are nine hole courses. this is about coming to america and showing more good guys, look, we're playing in the pro-am with donald trump, and we're paying these wild salaries, and isn't it fun? and it's shotgun starts, and we're only playing three rounds instead of four, what are they gonna do, or they're gonna have jair kushner drive the drink cart? are we gonna sell mulligan's? this isn't golf. it be like, don, if we took the nfl and took half the teams and the saudis just said, hey, we're playing you each 100 million dollars, doesn't matter how you do, you'll get that up front. and we are going to own you. and we're gonna play where we say are gonna play. wouldn't football fans be upset? that's how it feels to us golf fans. >> that's just one thing, you said this was all about attention for the former president in the pga, isn't about money as well? you can't leave that oh?
8:32 pm
>> no, not as a bit about this one, see, the saudis don't even know what they're doing. they're paying way too much for prices to players, to rent courses. he's got another one, the big saudi wrap up thing is that coral, trump terrell, and he'll be there like he's going to be there tomorrow on the range going, hey, dj, playing good but you can't beat this guy. and it drives the players crazy. he drives his golf cart right in the middle of the fairway. to rallies fares for buzzing the course with his helicopter. it's just a disaster. if you love golf, and if you don't like trump, it's the worst of both worlds. >> a nice walk would help him out. so listen, the former speaking of the money, and it's a lot of money as you said. former nba player in sports commentator charles barkley also teeing up at bedminster. he met with the liv golf ceo about the possible broadcasting rule. he currently works under the same parent company as cnn, full transparency here, as one
8:33 pm
of play something he said the espn, listen. >> everybody is making upwards like, sports washing and dirty money. listen, if you play sports, we all take money from some sources that we might not love or appreciate. but i don't want to be a hypocrite, these guys, they're trying to make a living, i wish them nothing but the best, same thing with my friends on the pga tour. but everybody is just kind of like trying to play the moral cord. >> is he right, or is he misinformed? when you think of his reaction? >> charles barkley is my favorite athlete i've ever covered, kindest, smartest funniest guy. he turned down liv today, he said he didn't get an offer. but that's just the dumbest argument of ever heard. he saying, so don't be moral? charles, you already make kardashian money. when you have to go do this? dustin johnson, phil mickelson, phil mickelson was making $40 million a year.
8:34 pm
lost all his corporate sponsors, and now he signed for 200 million over three or four years, i guess he's happier. how do you look at yourself in the mirror? >> okay. >> i'm so disappoint about this. >> okay. i get you're saying. you're saying he's making kardashian money, i don't know, i don't know charles martin barkley makes. but $200 million over the course of three years? that's a lot of money for anyone. you said was phil mickelson is getting that much money? >> 200 million, we're not sure if it's three or four years. but justin johnson got at least 150, players that can hardly crack an egg are cashing in for 50 million. it's crazy, stupid money let you get in a monopoly game. and they're doing it to sportswash their image. whether charles thinks i'm making up the word or not. it's happening, and it works. and by the way, it's going to work. they're here for good. and the pga tour now, they've got too many stars now, they're paying too much money, all these guys are jumping ship, and so, we've got to split
8:35 pm
tours and the pga tour's going have to make a deal with them. i think they won. >> well. so, if it here for good, won't athletes say it here, we might as well do it? >> it's here for good, and it's really bad for the sport. and donald trump wins this one. i hate to say it. he suddenly just turns and loves the saudis, because they're playing at his courses. which by the way, he always says that the greatest courses in the world, they're not in the top 200 in the country. >> you can certainly understand -- you can certainly understand how 9/11 families feel about this. >> a, breaks my heart. terrible. >> thank you sir, i appreciate. deadly floods sweeping through kentucky, killing at least eight people, the state's governor saying it's the worst flooding disaster in his lifetime. lifetime. to worry about the mesess.

8:41 pm
>> it actually started right around here. >> it started right over here, this ridge over here. >> okay. >> and, in the first 24 hours, this fire grow 10,000 acres. >> now, put that in perspective. that's crazy fast. >> the oak fire isn't the biggest fire in california. and, because fire season winds, haven't really started blowing us. there are almost 4000 firefighters here, from all corners of the state. they managed to keep flames out of yosemite national park, but not the smoke. and, they say they won't fully contain this blaze for weeks. >> so, it makes this fire, especially scary, though is that it devastated a lot of lands, really fans, and the winds are howling. >> correct. >> that's correct, we're in extreme conditions, but things can always get worse. >> any apologist will tell you that the healthy forest needs occasional fire to rejuvenate itself. but, ever since world war ii, smoky the bear has been preaching fire suppression.
8:42 pm
and, across much of california, all of this fuel husband loading up over the decades of fire drought, really, just in time to build the old-fashioned. not a 22-year megadrought. this combination,, now making california's rethink everything they know about property values and insurance markets and defensible spaces. >> in the course of my career, i have seen the biggest fires have been year, after year, after year. >> yeah. >> it's impressive. >> now, no offense, you don't look like a grizzled veteran, but it's not the years, it's the fires these days, i guess, right? >> the fires, yes. >> well, to that, these fires have been happening with the last 10:15 years. >> i mean, you could go back to 2003 and, then all of a sudden something happened. >> i wonder about folks who live in amazing spots like this. a great find in the 70s when the fire was once in a lifetime. now, it's once every couple of years. >> yes.
8:43 pm
>> do you change -- sea change in the psychology of folks in the one places. >> takes a special kind of person to live at. here and we just hope that if you do decide to live up here, you learn how to prepare yourself, prepare your property, prepare emergency escape plans and create some defensible space, as you see, hear this president did a great job by clearing out some combustible vegetation and brush away from his fire. >> bill weir, cnn, mariposa county california. all right, here where, thank you very. much and i want to bring a national geographic senior environmental graphic, fred walsh, who was excellent reporting on the climate crisis at national geographic.com. craig, we're so happy to have you here. good evening to you sir. i want to ask you about this flooding in kentucky. the governor calling it the worst flooding disaster of his lifetime, with hundreds of families losing everything in the death toll expected to rise. and, in these historic weather disasters are becoming to system we all to come. >> that is true.
8:44 pm
and, if you think about just the last month, we have had heat wave in indiana pakistan, we had the heat wave in europe. we have the heat wave across the u.s.. and we have the flooding, a couple of days ago in missouri that the national weather service says was a one and 1000 event. and, we had nine inches of rain in st. louis in 24 hours. which was the most ever reported. >> yeah. , listen, i gotta tell you every night this week we have covered rainy weather from oppressive heat to fires and drought in the west and massive flooding in missouri, kentucky. we even cupboard what's happening with farmers, especially cattle farmers. it is all of this connected to the climate crisis? >> it is. and our ability to actually attribute these events to climate is improving by leaps and bounds. ientists increasingly are able to point to climate, and many of these events within hours. the reality is that in forest
8:45 pm
fires, you are seeing more heat, more drought, less rainfall all in a packed force. and, that combined is helping to fuel more fires. heat waves can affect things in a lot of ways. you can see more fires with themselves, increase the likelihood of flooding. the yellowstone flood, which we saw rain coming on top of snow, which melted up the snow and cost floods and yellowstone. all of this has a climate component. >> you, know craig, until this week it looked like they were quite mentioning joe manchin was gonna block climate action. and what many say could be the last window for us to react without leaving more doubt and consequences. is there still enough time to avoid the worst? >> absolutely! and i think what ended up coming out this week with the legislation being proposed by mention of the democrats, as a potential step forward. >> if this deal passes, craig, it would put $370 in climate program and including key subsidies, and could slash u.s.
8:46 pm
emissions by 40% by 2040. how much of an impact with this me? >> that's huge. i mean, if you think about where we're heading without this kind of legislation, it is roughly half of that. and, and missions decline, we are seeing and moving more towards electric buying the grid with, you know solar, wind and electric vehicles. the problem, as we're not getting there anywhere near fast and. and the only way to do that is with some sort of assistance. we need subsidies for consumers, we need subsidies for industries. and, this bill provides a lot of. that >> policies are usually imported infighting final crisis. how important is it for, us as a society, to also focus on innovation in order to get us out of this crisis? >> i mean, innovation is essential for a bunch of reasons. if you think about, you know, solar has been around for 40 years. but, it was innovation and a little bit of economic assistance that allowed us to start seeing the kind of growth
8:47 pm
in solar power. the price of solar has dropped substantially in the last four years. and, some of that has been because we have subsidized solar. but, it's also been because the industry has figured out how to manufacture solar much faster and more efficiently. we also will need to find ways to draw co2 out of the atmosphere. and there are scientists working now on innovative way to draw carbon from the atmosphere. even the -- , says something like that is necessary. but right, now the capacity to do that is just way too expensive. and innovation is one step towards getting us there. >> craig walsh, thank you sir, appreciate it. when the lot. thanks so much. >> thank you for your time. >> shortages of everything from cars to smartphones, to washing machines and all because there weren't enough tiny computer chips. will congress just did me change everything.
