house. congratulations to him. what a weekend it was. >> trump staff told him people were dancing in the street because red lobster brought back crab cracking monday. >> as the saying goes laugh now, cry later. that does it for the beat. the "the reidout" with joy reid starts now. we are now witnessing the most volatile post election transition period in modern american history. donald trump standing out among the president's before him. by refusing to concede. while secretary of state jokes about a coup. >> is the state department currently preparing to engage with the biden transition team if not what point does a delay hamper a smooth transition or

pose a risk to national security. >> there will be a smooth transition to a second trump administration. all right. we're ready. >> illegal seizures of government are hysterical. whether it's denial, defiance or delusion. or a combo platter of all three. make no mistake the people around the president backed by elected republicans and conservative talking heads are deliberate ri creating the false impression they can somehow stop joe biden from becoming the 46th president of the united states. because the truth is they cannot do that. they're trying to spritz the stench of illegitimacy on a biden harris administration. it's business sr. as izarre as . they are pretending the election never happened at all.

continuing to prepare the budget proposal for the next fiscal year. the gsa formally recognizing a president-elect for the transfer of power to begin is refusing to green light the process. the process isn't just about getting a tour of the oval office. joe biden is being blocked from millions of dollars budgeted for transferring to a new president and access to government officials, office space and equipment that every single winner of a presidential election enjoyed including trump. biden is denied prshl briefings and intelligence reports. efrlg that trump enjoyed when president obama kicked off the transition process for him. see the photograph? this was two days after trump the og birther won the election. now it's trump's turn to hand over the keys and instead we are faced with another trump effort

to gaslight the american people. but delegitimizing the presidential process. the president you chose. trump is refusing to accept the loss. and so, we are faced with a trump baby. not the balloon. a child like tantrum. that sends this mess alk loud and clear if i don't win, no one wins. as if we're in a broken down banana republic. it's true. no one wins from a blocked presidential transition. biden enherts the trump wreckage. in a pandemic. that is taken 240,000 lives in america and crippled economically. let me repeat, none of what trump and his minnons are doing and saying will stop joe biden from taking the oath of office at noon on january 20. 2021. at which time presidential power will immediately be stripped

from donald trump and transferred to him. that is what's going to happen. something a very calm president-elect biden addressed head on today. >> i'm confident that the fact that they're not willing to acknowledge we won at this point is not a much consequence in the planning and what we're able to do. i'm letting him know america is back. we'll be back in the game. >> joining me now. white house reporter for the associated press. and two people led president obama presidential transition and serve nd the administration. thank you for being here. welcome to the show. the thing that is frustrating for all of us watching this game that's being played by trump and his enabler, we already know what's going to happen january 20. it's not a question. joe biden will be president. it will happen. can you walk us through what the delays and the sand that's being

thrown. what does that do to the process of the transferring power? >> joy, it's a pleasure to be with you this evening. as you were saying at the top of the show, no one wins. the 73 days between an election and inauguration may seem at this point like a lifetime. for those about to walk into the white house and for the president-elect and vice president-elect, it is a very short period of time. in that amount of time security clearances have to be attained. briefings have to be provide. remember on election day -- inauguration day 2009 there was a credible threat of a bomb scare on the day. and it was because the two administrations had been working together that classified briefings had been provided. they were able too address that. luckily nothing happened. those are the kind of things that can happen. agency review teams have to go

into departments and agencies to understand what has been happening there. litigation, regulatory issues, personnel issues. and given the concerns that so many of us have about data retention, about the hallowing out of the civil service because of those who left. we know the departments and agencies are not in robust shape to deal with the issues that face the american public. all of those issues are issues that get reviewed in the 73 days. before a person stands in front of the american people and takes the oath of office. it is about continuity of governance. >> you described in previous interviews it's like taking a business with one ceo and management and transferring it over. it's that complicated. it is a process. i want to play for you. for memory sake. this is president obama

welcoming donald trump to the white house. and keep in mind he's welcoming the og birther to the white house. who became president. >> i believe that it is important for all of us regardless of party and regardless of political preference, to now come together, work together. to deal with the many challenges that we face. most of all, i want to emphasize to you, mr. president-elect, that we now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed. if you succeed the country succeeds. >> beyond just that being a decent grown up thing to do, and because you have both be been the political director inside the white house and ambassador and served over seas for the obama administration, what does that the atmospheric of the transfer of power, does it

matter in the real world and how does it matter? >> it matters in the real world and reality tv world that half of america seems to be living in right now. it's great to be on. looking at that video, one ve minded of the grace that president obama and previous presidents illustrated in transition. it's out of the victorian era now. i received phone calls today from activists, leaders and in africa and latin america. in europe. who heard the statement and were just agast. they have been making a joke. it's disconcerning and under mines the process. melody and i had the privilege of serving on the 2008 transition team. managing personnel. she's correct. the scale the scope of government now requires as coop rative transition has possible. of course in this moment we have

a national security threat in the form of a global pandemic, there's a greater urgency that existed before. i suggest that there's a really cynical ploy going on. we expected this from donald trump. the rest ot republican leadership is playing to a group of voters in georgia for instance when they hope to gin people up. it's troubling. not just in america but around the world. see such cynicism utilized to democratic process. >> keeping republicans voters hopped up and angry and vote in january. that's a lot of it. i wonder if behind the scenes because this is what i'm hearing and talking earlier on the show, republicans behind the scenes are admitting it. when nobody is around and think the names won't be used in

stories. they are admitting this is bs. and if that's the case saying let donald trump feel like a winner for 70 days. what harm can it do. take a listen. >> it is very concerning because it's critically important during periods of administration transition that there be as much as continuity as possible from ensuring national security and homeland security is going to be secure. the fact the trump administration continues to give the stiff arm to the biden team is indicative of the unwillingness to really take the interest of the american people first. as opposed to the interest and pettiness of donald trump. >> do republicans get that? are they just being -- why are they still doing this? >> it's extraordinarily dangerous. republicans are willing to play along at least for now. mcconnell is the one seen by

many in the gop who could nudge trump towards the exit and signal it's over. he's not doing that. he's doing the opposite. suggesting that it is his legal right to pursue challenges and every vote should be counted and prolonging this for days if not weeks. the run off races in georgia play a large role. inside the white house this are some small number of aids who like the president are encouraging him to keep fighting. others do see the writing on the wall. and recognize the legal challenges have not gone anywhere so far. efb if they were too it's such an uphill crime. this isn't 2000 in florida one state and hundreds of votes. it wouldn't be nearly enough to over turn the result of the election. while this is happening, it should be noted the president is not really doing his day job. it's been a month since his

schedule advised he received a daily intelligence briefing. he hasn't had a read out of a foreign leader call in weeks. he hasn't convened a task force coronavirus meeting in a month. if almost two. outside of ousting the secretary of defense and other aid he isn't governing this country. he isn't leading this white house at a time when the coronavirus pandemic is surging out of control at dangerous levels. >> if we go through another 70 days of this what are the biggest risks? >> i think as patrick would tell you from serving in the white house, this is a dereliction of duty. there are significant issues like covid-19. that have to be addressed. the president-elect has identified a task force to begin to deal with the issues. we know we have been told that

there is vaccine that should soon ent available. there's a matter of making sure americans are able to access that and the government working with the departments and agencies. and companies to be able to do that. we also have issues of our economy. that is in tatters right now. and the ability to work with congress to form late plans and move an agenda forward are things that are being under mined. even more significantly, democracy isn't guaranteed. we have we are nation of laws. we have a constitution. we are supposed to be a nation of tolerance. but those things require all of us. they require a democratic culture. and right now that is at risk. and right now what we're seeing are the basics the fundamentals that held our country together for 250 years being used like a play thing. for someone els

self-grandizement. opposed to putting the country first. >> democracy requires an adult supervision. an adult in the white house would be important. >> that's appreciate joe biden is being an adult here. which is reassured how calm and cool he is. and in the moment of constitutional challenge. >> absolutely. 100%. amen to that. thank you all very much. up next hillary clinton conceded the day after the election. this isn't even as close as that one was. why the cult refuses to acknowledge the victory. also tonight eva longoria joins me on the importance of the latino vote in 2020 and beyond. meanwhile with trump totally distracted the nation plunges into covid hell.

okay. joe biden handedly won the election. you know that. elected democrats know it. elected republicans know it. you heard joe biden's confidence in the press conference. you know he knows it. and deep down, donald trump knows it too. there is not one evidence of voter fraud that would over turn said election. period. and yet, republicans are all in on misleading their base to pacify trumps ego-and solidify

power by keeping republican voerts on edge with a crucial election looming in georgia. in january. that will determine who controls the united states senate. >> president trump is 100% within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities. >> we win because of our ideas. we lose elections because they cheat us. >> the president wasn't defeated by huge numbers. he may not have been defeated at all. >> gop senators today did their usual reporter avoidance. >> did vice president win the election? >> we don't know yet. >> have you spoken to vice president biden yet? >> i have not. >> do you believe he won the election? >> have you congratulated vice president biden yet? >> no. >> why not?

>> trump's top henchman william barr is using the department of justice to encourage the delusions. authorizing prosecutors to investigate fantasized voter fraud. a cynical move that the election crime chief resigned over it. senior adviser to the lincoln project, stewart, if it wasn't obvious. if the georgia election didn't exist. and republicans didn't need those two seats in order to control the united states senate, i think it would be hard to understand what they're doing. you think maybe they have all gone mad. i am clear eyed enough about what republicans want. which is power. to understand that all of this is about getting those senate seats, getting white voters in georgia all hopped up thinking there's a fraudulent and save

the republic voting for the two senators. am i wrong? >> let's play that out. you may very well be right. it's a disasterous political strategy. to raise the hopes of the white voters and then they know it's not going to happen. it's not going to be president. by the time they're voting in georgia this will be settled. formally. i think it's the best way i can think to mobilize african-americans. basically this is just sort of jim crow modern tactic of trying to take away the right to vote from black people. if one of the issues is how do you motivate african-americans in a run off, republicans have played this hand like a disaster. >> you make an excellent point. you have bill clinton winning an election in large part because of the black vote that was not only created by the civil rights

act and the movement. then really mobilized in 1984 and 88 through the massive voter registration campaign called the jesse jackson campaign. gets him in. and it's not a legitimate. black people wanted him. obama he's not legit. he's not born in america. now you have them saying not saying anything about north carolina. net works called north carolina and they're not saying that's illegitimate. because the republican won. all of the sudden the election influenced by detroit and milwaukee and arizona. it's blatant. i don't understand why they don't think we can see it. >> i expect mcconnell to show up in the senate with a big jar of jelly beans and ask people to guess how many are in there.

it really is extraordinary and transparent. georgia made history. in this election. it was georgia african-american that made that history. i think this is a very good chance they can do it again. republicans are playing with fire here. the greater -- the troubling thing is just how little the republicans are demonstrating they care about america. you're taking what was supposed to be the greatest body in the world. senate. and turning it a conspiracy theory late night talk show. it's a disgrace. every one of the republicans know joe biden won. it wasn't really a close election. >> it wasn't close to the point in 2016 trump won by 77,000 votes. in three states on the way to losing by 3 million. joe biden has the largest win the biggest margin of any

challenger to a president since fdr. he's over 50% in the popular vote and winning by 216,000 plus votes. it isn't close. they know it. you're right the fact the that you have kelly lefler and purdue calling for the head of the secretary of state. who is a republican who is the spawn of jack kemp. he's a clone. you have jack kemp coming out and putting his face on a tweet saying don't worry. only the lawful votes. you have nothing to do with counting votes. you are governor. one wonders where -- are they going to revert and say they're the party of patriotism? is that what happens in january. >> trump and trumpism. it's just clear how deeply trumpism is a the republican party. what's extraordinary here is they know donald trump is going to lose and still afraid of him? this is a home of the brave?

i just really it's extraordinary. if these same republicans were in power in 1776 we would be celebrating the queen's birthday. we're going to fight the king are you crazy? it's the deep rot in the republican party. of the only way you'll get rid of it is beat these people. beat them at the poll. and it started on tuesday. and i think it will continue. >> what do you make of the fact you have the trump children and saying we're going to grab the rnc and trumpism is going to be here forever. we'll take over the party. >> i think they are going to grab the rnc. and one reason is because the financial doings of the rnc if exposed would be appalling to the average republican donor. they have to put somebody in there. they'll try to put corey

lewandowski in there. they have to cover up what's happening to the money. the trump campaign has been a criminal enterprise. some of the people have gone to jail. more are going to go to jail. it's going to -- it's a money laundering operation. they need to cover it up. it's a crime. they need a person in there to make sure it doesn't get exposed. >> the great stewart stevens. had knows what he's talking about. when it comes to republican politics. i appreciate you being here. still ahead hospitals in the midwest are under massive stress. listen to the emergency room physician from michigan. >> covid-19 has to be what we're working on now. this president has done nothing for us. he's made it worse. we have patients being transferred hour and a half away. we have patients waiting five hours to get into a bed. because so many hospitals including mine and every hospital in the vicinity.

president-elect joe biden has made clear his first priority is tackling the pandemic. even as the current administration obstructs transition. 46 states have seen an increase in cases over two weeks. single day record of 133,000 cases on monday. already exceeding 100,000 cases today. there are now more than 1 million new cases in the u.s. this just this month. in just the last ten days. more than 59 million americans are hospitalized as states grapple with the surge. north dakota hospitals at 100 capacity. the governor decided to allow covid positive nurses to keep working in covid units. iowa governor announced new rules on mask wearing amida surge there.

texas is running out of morgue space. with six mobile morgues already in place. in especially hard hit wisconsin, after another day of record hospitalizations in new cases a short time ago the governor called the crisis in wisconsin urgent. and urged and advised residents it stay home. i'm joined by emergency room physician in west michigan. we played a clip of you talking about the surge on the ground. i want to give you an opportunity to explain what is happening in the hospital where you work. >> well, basically we're full. most every hospital in the vicinity is full to the point where any time someone need to be admitted for whatever, most of them for covid-19. we have our supervisoring nurse calling around to other hospitals. other 30 minutes or so it changes. you might have a bed and call

back and someone else got the bed. we have a fairly big hospital they were calling us to see if we had beds. i heard a hospital in on the west coast of michigan flying someone across to southeast michigan. that had to be admitted to icu. it's at the breaking point for sure. flu season hasn't hit yet. with know cases continue to go up. this is just going to get worse. patients are suffering. >> i want to read a piece that was chilling. i'll read it. deceptive hors ov deceptive calm hovers over the ward. they are deeply sedated. to the point of paralysis. they can't afford to consume the modest amounts of oxygen needed to move an arm or leg. i'm terrified of covid. i'll be honest. i'm shocked that people aren't.

that people take it casually. or even think we should get it. because look how trump looks so robust. explain when somebody has covid sickness, what does that patient look like. what do they experience. this article terrified me. >> someone last night who has multiple family members hospitalized and had to send an hour away to be hospitalized. and came in saying i have never had so much pain in my life. breathing. 40 times a minute. that's fast. working so hard and i have put on oxygen levels three, four times normal oxygen you breathe to catch his breath. this is in the early throws of this. largely they look better than three days from now when they're up in the hospital and going into the icu. that's when they're sedating people and that's happening. this person said i never felt

this bad in my life. with a look of terror. it's something you wish you could show more people unfortunately you can't. and wish we had leadership that would tell people this. we can get people to wear masks and take it seriously. >> the president of the united states in his reelection campaign came to michigan a lot. i asked producer to tell me how many times exactly. michigan has reported 6,473 new coronavirus cases and 84 deaths in just on tuesday. pennsylvania the daily record shattered again with the cases. and donald trump traveled eight times to pennsylvania, six times to wisconsin. and six times to michigan. after the republican national convention. do you suspect those rallies where it was masks optional contributed to this surge? >> yeah. one of them was 30 miles from my hospital. another one about 60 miles. 30 miles from my home.

and 100%. 100% the numbers are already starting fo go up. and since then they exploded with positive rates in our area of about 12 to 14%. there is no doubt we have seen studies that show it. i can tell you from on the ground, this something like this with this number of patients with this kind of disease that is largely preventable has never happened before. hope fl never again. and we don't know what the next two or three weeks will look like. i would say he had a lot to do with it. >> i will note that the current president mocked joe biden for doing smaller rallies where everyone stayed in cars. it seems clear that was the wiser way to go. be well. stay healthy. we appreciate you. meanwhile, moderate and progressive democrats are butting heads over the future of the party. what does it mean for key issues

today the u.s. supreme court heard oral arguments on a case that dould decide the fate of the affordable care act. republican state officials and the trump administration pressed the court to over turn the aca. at least five justices including kavanaugh and roberts seem skeptical. >> i think it's hard for you to argue that congress intended the entire act to fall with the mandate was struck down. when the same congress that lowered the penalty to zero

didn't everyone try to repeal the rest of the act. i think frankly that they want the court to do that. that's not our job. >> president-elect joe biden promised to expand obamacare calling the court case a partisan move it over turn the will of the people. >> this doesn't need to be partisan issue. it's a human issue. it effects every single american family. we can't subvert the growing consensus based on an argument to invalidate the law. many conservative legal scholaring including -- >> last week bush a registered nurse and pastor was elected to represent missouri first congressional district. she's the first black woman elected to congress. from that state. joining me now is congresswoman elect bush of missouri.

first of all, congratulations on winning the election. change has come. you are the first i think person whose last name is not clay to represent the district since 1960s. congratulations on that. let's talk about this healthcare situation. you are a registered nurse. you understand the issue so well. holly who beat claire mccaskill largely running against the aca. when he was the attorney general of your state he joined the lawsuit that we're hearing before the supreme court. he was trying to they want to over turn the whole thing. and today there is a hearing on the appeal of that case. what would it mean to people in your state if the aca were to fall? >> we're having trouble with the audio. let's stop for a minute. i don't know if you are on mute. let's make sure you get your audio together.

what are we thinking? >> do we have it? >> i can hear you. magic. what would it do to the -- mean your state? >> we just recently expanded medicaid. we had to vote the august 4. this year. so the issue is we just talk about children. so many children have been knocked off of the medicaid roles and it's been okay by the local government. when talk about the aca and how we have people who have preexisting conditions that need the aca. we have thousands of people. we have tens of thousands of people in many area. we talk about the state. millions of people will be effected if we don't have the aca and hear people talk about well, this is it's a burden on the system. let me tell you what a burden is. when your family member shows up

at the hospital i don't pay attention to insurance they have. i make sure the family member is taken care of. with the best quality care i can. if you take away the aca and what i have to work with, how do i keep your family member alive? this just doesn't effect who you want it to effect. it will affect everyone. that is how i look at it from the standpoint of a nurse. people deserve healthcare and deserve it now. >> there's a debate in the democratic party. moderates blaming progressives and saying it's their fault and talking too much about criminal justice reform and things like that. trying to blame the squad and saying that's why we didn't win senate seats. these are issues that are quite important. real basic issues. whether people have healthcare. a piece doug jones who was defeated in alabama, it was a civil rights hero. it was a shame he was defeated. stacey abrams work in georgia could be a model for the party work in individual states. he said the dcc meaning the

people causing being a part of what caused people to lose seats in the swing districts. i tell you what, we worked from the ground. we worked our butts off knocking on doors and making the phone calls. talking to hundreds of thousands of people. that's what it took for us. i'm showing up at the mall at the park. everywhere with a mask and reaching my people. i think that's a difference. we use digital like crazy. we spent crazy money on digital. we have to look at what we could have done different will in our areas. if defund the police and medicare for all didn't do it for you i'm sorry. in my community i'm speaking on it. we are fine. i have a relationship with all the people on the caucus. tla are saying this was hurtful. but what's hurtful for me is people in my community dying. st. louis is number one for police killings since 2013. we are keep having this happen.

we have a super-aggressive plod and i'm not saying anything. defund your money and the money for tear gas and swat gear. take that money and put it into substance abuse programs. and mental health resources. reallocating funds. i'm not hurting anybody's district. for keeping their seat. i'm not looking at feelings. i'm looking at life. >> you have been part of this on the ground since the ferguson uprising. because of michael brown. i believe ferguson is your district. what advice you gif to those organizing in georgia. and see the senate seats do what you did. come in and have a message on the ground and win. what advice you give the two senate counties candidates in

georgia? >> look at the connections. use the connections, use the ground. we have to do something different. there are people who have data and people who have the super-smart rs as it relates to running for office. there's is another group of people. there are grassroots organizers that know how to galvanize people. that's who they should be reaching out to. so i know they have been doing some of that work, but continue in that -- our grassroots folks have -- when we talk about what has happened across the country, you know, grassroots organizers, especially that have been dealing with and working with black lives matter groups have kicked butt making sure that people know that your vote counts and that you got to show up. so i think that's another thing that they need to do, and then also stand on your message. it's not okay to be milquetoast, so don't be milquetoast. i know both of those candidates, i've been looking them up, and i hope to be in georgia to kind of help them, but make sure that your thing is your thing. i stood on what i believed in and the people wanted that. the people want a fighter.

since franklin roosevelt in 1932. biden is still leading in arizona and georgia and he could be the first democrat to win those states since the 1990s. biden's victory has been built on a broad coalition within the democratic party, but it was black women, latino and indigenous voters who helped put him over the top. and it will be the same groups that the new administration will need to build on as it looks to repair the damage from the past four years. joining me now is actress, director and activist eva longoria. eva, thank you so much for being here. i know you had a flight today, so i'm thankful that your flight landed on time. >> thank you. thank you for having me. >> absolutely. so you did a little tv over the past couple of days talking about this, and, really, the kind of i think false impression that people have had of what latino and latino voters actually did in this election. i know it caused a little bit of a stir. >> yeah. >> and i wanted you to have an opportunity to sort of update your remarks. >> no, thank you. i think like many of us, we're all exhausted after this election, and, you know, in my

effort to celebrate latina turnout, i diminished the importance of the black women's vote in this election, and what i said was wrong. it is a fact that african-american women showed up in record numbers and brought us to victory. they saved this country. and i recognize the harm that my words caused. if we've learned anything from this administration is that words matter, and so i take full responsibility for that mistake because i want everybody to know that we stand on the shoulders of black women, who always show up. black women have carried us for decades when it comes to civic engagement. and i get that there is a collective exhaustion and hurt at feeling erased. yet again. and i contributed to that pain in a moment where black women should have been lifted up, not erased, and i failed to do that, but -- not but, this is an uncomfortable moment. this is what an uncomfortable moment looks like. >> yeah. >> and i can only show up and be better and do better and that's what i'm doing. >> well, ma'am, i have been there, and one of the reasons i

really wanted to talk to you know, you know, i think you can say one thing when you're trying to say one thing and say another. and twitter really takes it there. >> yeah. >> you and i have spoken about this. i know that you know, you know, as you said, black women voters are stalwart for the democratic party and delivered once again. i think there is also a false impression, to be honest, about what latino voters and latina voters did this election. just going to go through real quick. people are thinking miami-dade, miami-dade, miami-dade, that's cuban american voters and, yes, they did go toward donald trump for a lot of reasons. in nevada, white voters basically split, you know? trump won 56%, biden won 41%. but it was latino voters, 56% for biden, 37% for trump. you go to arizona, white voters again, it was very tight. 47-51. for latino voters, it was not tight, 33% to 63%. black voters went 87% for biden. you know, asian american voters, overwhelmingly, 61% for biden. but latino voters went 65% for biden.

and you go through and you even looked at hispanic voters in the exit polls. no matter what numbers you look at, you know, and latinas, and this is the last poll i'll show. latinas, 69-30, for biden. overwhelming. >> yeah, yeah. >> so why do you think that that narrative got -- why did we get it wrong when people were just talking about it? >> well, you know, that's what we were trying to unpack the other day when i made my mistake, and that's why i wanted to use this opportunity to talk about solidarity building rooted in deep conversations. because when women of color come together, we are unstoppable. all the statistics you just mentioned. you know, and not to -- not to exclude our afro latina and black latina sisters who are often marginalized by blacks and latinos, not fitting here, not fitting there, so we have to start having these conversations because we're coming out of an administration that normalized white supremacy, normalized injustices against people of color. we have a big fight ahead of us and we need this coalition. we need to be together. i didn't mean to cause division among us.

latinas, we need to have the backs of our afro latina sisters and african-american sisters every day. >> yeah. >> first up, we have a fight in georgia. >> yes. >> i'm going to see y'all in georgia. >> yes, yes, let's do it. i wish we had more time, eva longoria. thank you so much for being here. really appreciate you. >> thanks, joy. >> that is tonight's "reidout." "all in" with chris hayes starts now. tonight on "all in" -- >> sir, what do you say to the americans that are anxious over the fact that president trump has yet to concede and what that might mean for the country? >> well, i just think it's an embarrassment. >> the transition of power continues, as does the state of denial. >> there will be a smooth transition to a second trump administration. >> tonight how too much democracy is a growing problem for the party of trump. then former mueller prosecutor andrew weisman on
