7:00 pm
when a truck hit my car, the insurance company wasn't fair. i didid't t kn whahatmy c caswa, so i called the barnes firm. i'm rich barnes. it's hard for people to k how much their accident case is worth.h barnes. t ouour juryry aorneneys hehelpou good evening everyone, laura coates. this is cnn tonight. and you're looking live, really, at the white house.
7:01 pm
in a state of turmoil. multiple sources tell cnn there could be even more searches, a bit more locations after more classified documents were found that the presidents one-time private office and more founded his home in wilmington. and the white house counsel's office, has an important point, the white house counsel's office is closing just this weekend that in five pages of classified mr. has also been found in wilmington. and president biden is getting frustrated by the way his administration is handling all of this. and it won't be overshadowed what what has been a pretty good new streak for his white house in recent times. at least since the red wave has not materialized. and the mood among updates tonight described as, it is what it is, not sure what that means but it is what it is this evening. we will talk about what that really means. as they wait to see if yet another shoe drops. meanwhile, thirsty congressman george santos. and kevin mccarthy says, he's
7:02 pm
always had questions about the congressman's resume. of course he's always had questions, but a race is not the question. why do i think about it earlier. for another apparent whopper surfaces from santos allied about his resume, his education, and apparently even now volleyball. >> know it's funny, i actually went to school on a scholarship. >> who did? >> when i barack, he was number one -- >> did you graduate from there? so did i. so did i. >> great school, very good institution. look, i sacrificed both my knees and got knee replacements playing volleyball. that's a service that took the game. >> how. i am truly not a surgeon. i am a lawyer, but what are the odds that you had double in the
7:03 pm
replacement playing volleyball for a school you actually never attended. not wonderful odds in your favor. a lot of talk about tonight all this, cnn senior law enforcement analyst and former fbi deputy director andrew pickett. he's also the author of the threat, how the fbi protects america in the age of terror and trump. also legal analyst and house judiciary special counsel for trump's first impeachment trial. the former pastor, norm eisman, and white house correspondent -- so get there are here tonight. they were not to talk about the knee surgery, or knee replacement right now. we got other things to discuss. including what is happening in the white house. and have to begin with you arlette. we think about all that sort of trickling out. it's dripping hand dropping. it is not just a one and done. what is the frustration from biden? it is that they didn't get ahead of it. is that people are paying
7:04 pm
attention to it. are you getting a sense of it. but the white house has really struggled from beginning, from stopping this from a streaming into the crisis that it's become. and sources have told us that, basically, the president has become really frustrated with the fact of how exactly this is all unfolding. heading into this year, the white house, president biden, we're really riding high. they feel like they have a lot of momentum going their way. and he is getting closer to a decision about that 2024 launch. but now, these classified documents have completely consumed the conversation. the president had some frustration with the fact that it has overtaken and its administration has a lot to take over so much the new cycle. today, as it moves back at the white house, he really ignored questions about. take a listen.
7:05 pm
they're shouting questions -- and publishing to get power from this moment. midterm out the facts naturally and being shut down in may. so the dates are talking about. this is part of why this part of the frustration. it is obscene election somewhere in there. talk about this timeline as to why it is, these people are unquestionable average us learning about democracy still. >> just a week ago today that the first things came out. it is now revealed by the white house it is revealed by media reports in the white house. and have founded personal documents at the pet biden center to moscow over second. but it wasn't until later this week that they start to learn more about the fact that these documents were also found the presidents residence at the wilmington and delaware.
7:06 pm
both at the garage with the presence that there's a lot nexus carpet. then also another adjacent room next to garage. and then, merrick garland, when he announced the special counsel failed in some of the details about what they started to get more information. it is on the summer 20th that biden's personal attorney were searching the wilmington home. -- just last week. the personal tierney's found more documents, and it was canceled this weekend that we found out that it was more than they had initially stated in town. the white house, of course, is facing so many questions about the very slow drip drip drip of information. and the times, their inability to offer the full truth hand acknowledge that the document that pen biden center even though they already knew that had been some documents out of the home. so a lot of questions, but the personal tierney's defending. it seemed are limited in what they can share in the investigation. but certainly these questions are not gonna go away. >> within the person ends these
7:07 pm
questions when they got a sit-down interview. and the former attorney general, rod rosenstein, was on -- harrison cooper on this very point. about whether it be possible for president biden and some of this team to actually have that sit down. listen to this. >> who depend upon the presence willingness to agree at a certain interview. i think that typical investigation where suddenly was in possession of classified documents from the key issues you want to know. was where and that was their understanding of what had legal right to possess those documents. so i think the president will talk. that was certainly one issue at the special counsel want to look into. but certainly on the shore this. i suspect they will find a way. special counsel find a way. he has two to inquire when president biden what was your awareness. with the president's all ready said he was not aware.
7:08 pm
and there is no indication. there is no evidence unlike the trump investigation where trump, we had evidence he was in the boxes. he said the documents were mine. he refused to turn him over. data service search ward. this is not that case. really, the questions hall arrive from the timing. but having been a lower in the white house. having been handled by classified documents and supervising over social people as ambassador let's work with classified documents all day long. every day, i think when you look at it step-by-step, laura. the decisions that were made were reasonable. it is true that it is broken back from a pr perspective. there been problems. from a legal perspective, there was a five-week gap. from november 14 when u.s. attorney laotian a trump appointee was appointed by garland to look at the search on this number 28.
7:09 pm
five weeks is not a lot of time. >> -- not prior to that obviously. >> i'm not justifying the removal of the documents from white house promises. we will have to see how that happens. but the criticism has been focused on the substance here. >> nobody said biden knew. the criticism has been on the legal decisions. but when you break them down, decision by decision, how many events do you have just five weeks where they find the documents. and they found some more documents. we are talking before the show. your prosecutor as a defense lawyer i did for 30 years. virtually every trial the prosecution in the middle child said, oh, i counted more documents. her judge, from turning over to mr. ice. and that is common. from a legal perspective they did at the book. they may have been -- her baby of witness tampering overproduction. >> andrew i wonder about the
7:10 pm
people who are doing it by the book. so to speak. the people who are conducting the search. some of them are white house counsel's office the idea of the doj, and not everybody had the security clearance. some attorneys were closed in documents because they didn't have the requisite level of security clearance to say, oh, what i am seeing i can keep looking at. that was a whole problem the idea of having a special master, with the trump documents. i didn't want to fix in on the comparison of the two. i want to isolate the biden notion right now. the idea of who is conducting the searches. does that give you pause as the investigator from some reason? >> initially, it does not. initially, they discovered these documents is completely by happenstance. nobody expected him to be there. they found, presumably force in the pen biden center. that gives them cause to think, hey we need to go out and maybe look at some other places were documents also may have inadvertently been ended up. at that point the best bet --
7:11 pm
but we're well beyond that point now. the fundamental difference, and all reference the other matter as well here. just the comparison. the fundamental difference here -- >> you can still say trump it, it's okay. >> the trump matter has been antagonistic from day one. they refused to cooperate with from was a year. they rebuffed the justice department's request for documents. there was infamous meeting in mar-a-lago that we all look to the room but not looking the boxes. it goes on and, on. the inverse is true of the biden situation. i think, because of that cooperation there is actually an opportunity here to do a complete search within the scope of the special counsel's authority with both the president's lawyers, and fbi agents, doj, representatives. that is not an uncommon thing to do an investigation the
7:12 pm
mishandling. when the subject of the investigations actually cooperating with the investigators. and that happens a lot. because oftentimes mishandling is the result of inadvertent, unintentional movement documents. you can take documents home by mistake. >> on that point. obviously, there's been reaction to challenge. weather was done by the book, was investigation. sound had to raise reason for the conflict of interest. impetus for special counsel. there's a lot being made about the idea of -- not this with the white house. we better own discussion about what happened at the white house. the trump administration sort of breaking with tradition of keeping -- for their questions about getting visitor logs for biden's home in particular. even though that's not really the course of tradition to do so. it's a private residence. but who would have access to documents of this nature and looking at this. what do you make of the requests from the visitor logs? they don't seem to exist by the
7:13 pm
way? >> the visitor logs were part of my responsibility in the obama white house. the decision to release the visitor logs. that was my recommendation to the president. which, he accepted in the name of transparency. there are no home visitor logs. many of the people who've been asking for them, including political adversaries. let's admit it. the political adversaries are having a field day with this. why, because there's a difference between doing thing by the legal book? and doing thing by the pr book. they are exploiting the tension between the two. but i think, in the long term that the better thing to do is to get to legalities writes why, ? because you don't want to expose yourself? or other people. i don't think the president has exposure. we don't want to expose anybody to legal liability. and then careful about that. even if it has not resulted in some pr headaches to say the least. and this calls for visitor logs
7:14 pm
is just to create more of a political furor. the people know there is no such thing as a home visitor log. one place you would have locks it in a scif. cabinet secretaries, heads of agencies, the vice president while they are in that position. they have skips in their residents. so it's for the purpose of reviewing top secret documents 24 hours a day. it is in a city in this day in age. you are required to keep a log of who goes in and out of the scifs. and who's exposed to -- if no such laws exist, even from the scif that they have been in the residence or from the security personnel. who, essentially, stand up at capacity on a temporary basis when the vice president. then that tells you something about how the documents were handled during the time they may have ended up in that place. where the procedures follow,
7:15 pm
where the requisite level of attention were paid to who's being exposed and what documents. >> all questions are likely shouted towards the president of the united states. and we sure know it's not really a pr headache. but maybe a migraine, these days. we'll talk more about what this actually means in a little bit. to say bye everyone. but his own party so think about the amount of headaches that's being caused. well, some are calling him a bad guy. a goofball. a liar. he's only been in congress for a week and a half. how long can this go on? it was a gop going to do about their, wow, george santos problem? d schedule with safelite, because you can track us and see exactly when we'll be there. >> woman: i have a few more minutes. let's g go! > tech vo: that's service that fits your schedule. go to safelite.com. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safefelite replace. ♪ ♪ for skin as alive as you are... don't settle for silver. harness the power of 7 moisturizers & 3 vitams to smooth, heal, and moisturize your dry in. gold bond. champion your skin.

7:19 pm
the new republican chairman of the house oversight committee is calling the man you see right there, congressman george santos, quote, a bad guy but he's not calling on santos to resign or lying about his background. apparently for that matter the house speaker, kevin mccarthy, who tell cnn that he too had questions about santos's resume. >> when will you wear about some of these allegations around santos which part all the things >> i never knew about his resume not put out a few questions about it. >> what about being in the
7:20 pm
campaign pretended to be a chief of staff >> i did not know that it happened. they corrected but, i was not notified about that until the later day. >> did you hear about it at all >> i did know baritone later date though, unfortunately. >> some house republicans have called on santos to resign. mccarthy, another top gop leaders say it is up to his constituents to vote him out. that is two years from now. we have to talk about republican address. that high, norm eisman is also back with us. also joined by cnn national politics reporter, even weekend. glad you're all here. let me bring you in here even. this look, i do wonder about this. it's a little bits not clear, ambiguous, to think about yeah i had some questions. is mccarthy, essentially, indicating that he had the extent of these questions that are now arising. or you just kind of, yeah, i wasn't totally secure? which do you think? >> it was so understated that
7:21 pm
just begs more questions right we doubt in the days ahead that he will continue to be asked about this. when did you know what, and when? i think it's gonna continue to do this song and dance. as long as he -- his primary focus is to keep that slim majority. that house republican conference together. i think the issue for him, santos is not all that reliable. what else is there to come up we are having this conversation six months from now, in the way that we are having it today. i think that is when it becomes untenable. >> that question though for the gop more broadly is because the santa's question is not just about him. it is often about, as you know dog. why there are not more vocal calls for him to leave office or attempts to get him out of
7:22 pm
there by leadership? essentially does become a gop problem. i think people fully understand how congress works. when you are like to do essentially have a binding two-year employment contract. and the only way, there are two ways you can have that contract terminated. one, you can. reside to, a house will expel. you bakes and they've done that five times are nations history. they don't do very often. last time it was done was about 20 years ago. after somebody had been convicted of bribery, and racketeering. not accused, convicted. so kevin mccarthy, skips, elise le stefanik, will have a press conference tomorrow and i'll say george santos must resign. a doesn't have to do anything. he's getting paid, right now, let's not forget. and was it for a while. he may have actually incentive to stay, as opposed to leave. everything that we've heard republicans say about him. that is a bad guy, but they don't trust them, they don't talk to him. all of that is true, but there is no mechanism to just make him leave unless the house expel some. and they do that exceedingly rarely. >> look at the people of called from to actually resign. not a huge number.
7:23 pm
but a couple people here and there, it is not full, you're right he can't be forced out short of expulsion. but i do wonder. thinking long term. the seat is normally what is the focus of the party. how do i return that seats and house. how do i do so with a margin islam is mccarthy has obtained so. now is that not a concern about the impact of people talked about. this talk is happening six months from now? >> we get the house republican politics, long term is very fundamental thing. how long time for house problems or not weeks weeks, could be six months, obviously can be two years as well. they but -- they also know the pockets taken care of it probably means that a democrat will be replacing fandos one where another. >> how does campaign finance come in? there is the idea of the line, and not gonna be pollyanna about. this line, in congress. oh my, it. happens unfortunately. i'm not disregarding it. but the campaign finance issue
7:24 pm
seems to stick. >> yes, the line is relevant to the campaign finance issue. because, we look at both his campaign finance reports. and he has to file with the federal elections commission. and his financial disclosures. which are also an official filing. that he has the filed congress. they are bristling with questions. what was the source of descendant affluence howdy flowing to the campaign's expenditures. it's a small thing, but it is very telling. there is a mandatory 200 dollar reporting requirement. we have to provide details. he went to a restaurant, over and over again, 199 dollar receipt. every single time. so, if in the context of his buys. about his education history. his religion, his job history. his supposed volleyball career and in the replacement at the college. the college that he didn't
7:25 pm
attend. that puts all those questions on these federal filings into a different lights. eva, i think it is going to be an issue six months from now. because an ethics committee is going to look at this. we know law enforcement is looking at it. and the problem is, it is not just about those seats. if we are still talking about this six months from now. there is a spillover effect on the entire caucus. that is the headache that kevin mccarthy has. >> once again on that point, as well. on the ethics. the concessions that were made as part of the new rules package. there are concerns that the ethics committee has been hamstring by the fact that they have staffing issues. is that a concern >> to separate ethics committee's. the one that they hamstrung is the more independent ethics committee. i'm sure it is a coincidence that they did that. justice santos was being up for investigation. there is the house ethics
7:26 pm
committee. which is made up of an equal number of these, and ours. they look at this. it is very tough to get something through the house ethics committee. but when it is egregious, particularly if there issues a possible criminalize on official forms. they will act. it is a multiple sided headaches for santos, for mccarthy, and for the caucus. >> eva, you have the talent of all these headaches? what is going on? >> i think the persistence of some of these lies troublesome. we told that the volleyball story over, and over, and over again. i think what is being missed in this conversation though. is he organizing strength within the district. there are some pretty vocal members out there, on long island, who are holding strategy meetings. who are really holding the other long island republicans speak to the fire. they had no choice, really, but to call for santos to resign. because of the heat that they are getting from that community. some of them telling me they
7:27 pm
are prepared to come up here, in the weeks ahead, and speak to whatever house republican will take a meeting with them. ultimately, and therefore to drive santos out of office. >> who's taken a beating with them >> i don't think a lot of people except for, potentially, house ethics. that's why we're talking about it for six months. it takes the ethics committee in the office of congressional -- a long time to even acknowledge an investigation. much less to it. and then you have a very real legal problems. that is ultimately going to be santos's bigger problem. not the lies but the actual legalize and where you put things on paper they're actually committing fraud and violating the law? >> more on this everyone, stick around, for these issues and more. also, president biden remarking on martin luther king day. with a call to congress. to pass key voting rights bills. but we've been here before. we've seen this movie, when democrats controlled both houses of congress. so, the question now, where does the fight go now for
7:28 pm
voting rights we will discuss, it next. i was born here, i'm from here, and i'm never leaving here. i'm a new york hotel. yeah, i'm tall - 563 feet 2 inches. i'm on top of the world. i'm looking for someone who needs a weekend in the city,
7:29 pm
who likes being in the middle of it all. you hungry? i know a place, and a few others nearby. it's the city that never sleeps. but hey, if you need a last-minute spot, i got you covered.
7:30 pm
my name is joshua florence, and one thing i learned being a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody. just look around. this digital age we're living in, it's pretty unbelievable. problem is, not everyone's fully living in it. nobody should have to take a class or fill out a medical form on public wifi with a screen the size of your hand.
7:31 pm
home internet shouldn't be a luxury. everyone should have it and now a lot more people can. so let's go. the digital age is waiting.
7:32 pm
as a biden mark in march of the king day for the new renewed push for voting rights. he's demanding that congress pass the john lewis adams advancement right in the freedom to vote act. urging congress to do with the filibuster to get those bills through. my next guest, the former president the naacp. how professor and author the brand-new book, never forget our people were always free. and jealous, joins me now. but ben, i'm glad to see you, here thank you for joining. but it's really fascinating, i don't talk about. that but i also want to hear about this renewed push for voting rights. obviously, it remains a very important issue. but one that has not yet to be tackled. what do you think of this? >> i have less hope for it. and this congress than i did in the last. actual jail outside this white house on five occasions trying
7:33 pm
to do the push early on. and we need to deal with that but i think it's become really partisan issue. which frankly, something becomes partisan becomes dangerous. but idea voting rights, broadly, as partisan. eddie that just tells me the power of the daylight today, commemorating -- the idea that still are still fighting so many respects. people to recognize voting rights as a non partisan issue. i showed you the power of the ballots, nonetheless. >> but traditional voter suppression was deeply woven into our country. why men who did not own land only where able to vote by 1845. blackmon 1865 just put in perspective. it wasn't that long ago, if you will, certainly well into the american experiment that most people in this country could vote. and we need to know that all of us can vote. i'm glad biden's taking it out, i was choked up when democrats
7:34 pm
control the house. as for exercise is now. >> i do wonder you're touching about daylight and we are commemorating. in this is also in mississippi in alabama. and as we know, they're celebrating king lead. which camera merits milk. and also the veteran general robert e. lee. i would do you think up because your book is fascinating, talk about idea of race merkel more broadly. i just demystifying, and dismantling some myths about race in this country. what you think about that? >> at the step of my keyboard was writing my book. because adjust, former former head of the nwa. with that said. the way that we move forward starts with us really is in the same boat that dr. king talked about. we need to act like it. and our communities, and our congregations. it feels like we are able to have tougher conversations that were able to have the u.s. congress.
7:35 pm
and the mischief in places in alabama. he celebrated leaves birthday. so bring jefferson davis's birthday. the man who succeeded from our union. they are not on par with dr. king in any way. it is mischief. >> you found out about that because the henry lewis gates advancing check >> not robbery lee. gates told me about tom or stepson. i think maybe he was being kind to me. >> well, you know, i don't know maybe use trying to get you a moment away from your keyboard. let's talk about when you're at your keyboard and writing this book. because talk about three big lies about race. one of them is that it's always been this way. the other one is not only white people have paid the price for desegregation. the other one is racism only hurts black people and people of color. and you talk about having to acknowledge all of these myths
7:36 pm
to end racism. why? >> this is what dr. king was trying to tell us when he was assassinated. he was not assassinating desegregation battle. he was assassinate in the poor peoples campaign. trying to get people tonight across the color line because what he understood was rights, as you know it, was a simple scientific constructed in the early 1700s as a wedge. to be tripping between indentured europeans and enslaved africans. kept rebelling together. that neither group with the defendants, who would have the power that they need to change their own lives until they could come together. in order to do that, we have to come across the wall of the wedge is built. we send to think about racism as it impacts us, because lactose is we have a lot of particular grievances. but there is a reason why it was literally profitable. and it was because the military could not quite stop indentured europeans enslaved africans rebelling together.
7:37 pm
new laws couldn't quite stop it. so reach for the cudgel those culture and it was 600 years old in that drive. and they made it something else entirely, the new color cast with the superhuman anglo-saxon in the subhuman negro. you saw slave roles charles change as a result. you saw poor whites, for the first time decided that the greatest asset was their complexion. as opposed to the solidarity. with the brothers of a darker hue, or who are facing similar troubles. >> it is a fascinating book. you really unveil so many thing -- a lot of the features you think about from your own learning in the book. really what is the whole gamut in terms of viewpoints and i encourage you, it's called never forget the park was free. one of member so congress will read it. because there are times where you can learn a lot about how to progress even when there is animosity on two sides of the debate. >> general powell, when i was
7:38 pm
young, and those in the town encourage me to focus on finding one thing i can agree with somebody on. and building on that. that is how i knew, for example, as presently naacp that can go to new england, we fought with an almost everything. two cosign on our strategy to shrink the prison population. and to go northwest into the same thing. however that were able to get for publican governor scum along with us. it was odd, i ran for governor as a democrat. here are, who republican. when i listed it, doing governors also praising the courage were republicans who stood with the naacp and we needed them to. we need more of that. tip of neil and ronald reagan -- i have people to come together as a country. i would pay rail price for the media constantly portraying the bore as black and brown. he should be that the black boy was a visible. during the civil rights
7:39 pm
movement. but this almost twice as many white poor as black and brown poor. but policies get twisted when people can only imagine the other as benefiting from them. >> thank the whole book away, the myths are include along there. and jealous, thank you for stopping by the show. nice talking to you. especially today. about another great book. >> while everyone, unfortunately, as we were talking about this powerful commemoration. sadly, multiple people were injured in a shooting at an mlk day events. and florida. we'll bring you the very latest next. hey, man. nice pace! clearly, you'u're a safe driver. you could save hundreds for safe driving with l liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance... ...so you only pay for what you need!
