and trailblazer part of the chevy family of suvs. drive safe. good day. this is "andrea mitchell reports." i'm garrett haake. here at home there is breaking news. stunning revelations that the trump administration subpoenaed apple. the justice department declined to comment. we will speak to one of the reporters this hour. and overseas, president

biden sitting across from boris johnson where climate and china are all on the table. and first lady biden and the duchess of cambridge getting to know each other. before andrea asked kate about the newest member of the royal family. >> do you have any wishes for your new niece? >> i wish her the very best. i can't wait to meet her. hopefully that will be soon. >> now let's bring in andrea mitchell, the host of this broadcast. we are going to hear more about your meeting with kate.

what are you hearing from these initial meetings? >> the initial meetings are focused heavily on the pandemic, on covid, the fact that the g7 contributing a billion dollars. the u.s. got in first last night with the 5 million doses -- 500 million doses coming from the u.s. last night. a big push to try to deal with the humanitarian issues. joining me to talk about all of that, the upcoming summit with vladimir putin is kate who is at the g7 headquarters. thanks for joining us on a busy day. >> thanks for having me. >> kate, i want to ask you about

the president's approach first here at the g7 to persuading the other leaders that not only is america back, as he says, but that america is back for good. because there is some doubt among some of the rall -- allies but that there could be a return to the trump type years after the midterm. >> you are right that president biden's message is that america is back and leading on the world stage. to your question whether that has staying power, look at the first five months of the biden presidency. the president views this as a responsibility of his to restore trust to deliver. he came into office focused on the pandemic, got a vaccination

program set up vaccinating americans at a rate faster than any country in the world. he was able to get the checks he promised on the campaign trail into people's bangs. he has shown he can deliver. he is working with some of our closest and longest allies to show they can work together on the world stage. >> we understand that the president did raise the northern ireland issue in his meeting with the host boris johnson. they had in the past before the president was elected, disagreed about brexit. that was during the obama administration and boris johnson as he came into power. what did the president want to hear from johnson about northern

ireland and peace being preserved? >> well, i think there is agreement amongst all parties we need to work towards a solution. the president wanting to adhere to the good friday agreement. i know the president and boris johnson had a conversation about this yesterday and this is something they will work out through their process. but the other big piece from yesterday was about broadly reaffirming our special relationship with uk, tackling these challenges we are facing, covid, climate crisis. amplifying and continuing to speed up the economy. a lot of the discussion with

boris johnson and over the next few days with other leaders will be about what we can continue to do to accelerate recovery around the world. i know the president is looking forward to them. >> what can the g7 leaders agree on about hacking, ransomware and about not only what happens from russian soil which they have tried to deny responsibility for, but what the government itself is do, vladimir putin, that kind of thing. >> this will be a topic of conversation, this issue of ransomware and hacking. as we have said the russian government is not responsible for the hacks we have seen over the last few months but are accountable for the actions of maligned criminals harbored within their borders. president biden has said many

times that the russian government should be responsible for. governments don't allow this kind of activity from within their borders. we can't tolerate allowing these rogue actors to hack into infrastructure. this will be something the leaders will be discussion and i anticipate it will be a topic of conversation in his meeting with president putin later this week. >> does the president view vladimir putin and the crackdown on navalny two days ago, calling the group a terrorist group. do you see that coming up in their talks in geneva. >> as he said many times they were going to meet not in spite

of their differences, but because of their differences. as you know, he has met with president putin before. he will raise concerns, certainly human rights violations and navalny, the cyber issue, ransomware issues we were discussing. these are things that will be on the table and president biden will discuss with putin. he will discuss areas of consensus. his aim is to move our relationship with russia to a place of stability. there are areas of interest where we work on things like nuclear proliferation. there are areas of consensus and areas of deep concern. both will be on the table for discussion when the leaders meet next week.

>> before i let you go i wanted to ask you about the new reporting about the trump justice department getting the personal data from prominent democrats including congressman adam schiff and swalwell. >> obviously it's appalling. president biden said many times on the campaign trail and when he swore in merrick garland. the justice department is the people's lawyer. he has a different relationship with his justice department than donald truch did with his. it was one of the many reasons he felt motivated to run for president, the abuse of power under the trump administration, using and abusing the justice

department. president biden has been clear about how he views this kind of behavior and his justice department under merrick garland is run differently and is an important part of how he governs. >> white house communications director. i know it's a busy schedule. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me, andrea. >> joining us now is retired navy admiral and supreme allied commander of nato and also a new york times diplomatic correspondent. thank you both. first, the putin behavior leading up to the summit had been nothing but aggressive. the president says he wants a stable and reliable schedule

with russia where they can work together. but at the same time putin has shown no interest in a reliable and stable relationship. >> this is what vladimir putin does what he does. he has a weak hand of cards. his population is declining. he has a one-trick pony, oil and gas. he has domestic opposition at reasonably high. but despite having a bad hands of cards he plays it well tactically in the sense of staying out in the public eye, creating difficulties for the united states, being a spoiler from syria to ukraine, and now

this cyber, and now announcing that navalny organization will be a terrorist organization just before the summit. that's what putin does. putin is playing to his domestic audience, his base. he is playing to the few allies to places like belarus. he is trying to show china that russia matters and will try to consolidate a closeness between russia and china. we have to be quite concerned about those things. >> in approaching russia, michael crowley. there isn't complete agreement because germany and france and others want to have better trading relationships with china in particular and are worried

about normalcy with russia, if you will. >> it is not as simple as united block against competitors. china and russia are two different situations, but both complicated in their own way. as you say, there is a huge amount of china, between china and europe. that is matched by the trade between the u.s. and china. one difference is that the u.s. has very little economic relationship with russia, but europe is quite integrated with russia in many ways, economically. and the nord stream 2 pipeline that runs into germany which the biden administration has opposed

but the german government continues to support. biden appears to have thrown up his hands saying it is going to happen regardless and not much i can do. that complicates things. the key point is that the russians and chinese know that and will continue to exploit that and drive wedges. it will make diplomacy difficult. >> we have about a minute. there are also reports that russia is helping iran with satellite technology that can help them with targeting our forces in iraq and other places. >> indeed. it's not just russia working with china, of course. it's working with iran. it's china also. china just announced a $300 billion investment.

this is a continuing growing closeness. iran, china, russia. it doesn't auger well for us. on the other side of the coin, the british are deploying a carrier strike group, brand new carrier, queen elizabeth, headed to the indian ocean, ultimately the south china sea. it is good to have allies. it is not a simple proposition. we have to work at it. >> we will be hearing from vladimir putin exclusively on nbc. our colleague interviewed him today and will be on the show tonight. garrett? >> you heard andrea say it. stay tuned for a preview on "nbc nightly news" of a worldwide

exclusive. sitting down with vladimir putin in moscow just days ahead of the summit with biden. coming up, abusive power. in a jaw dropping report we are learning that the department of justice, no one was off limits, not even the children of trump's political enemies. and how other countries are helping in the effort to bring life-saving vaccines to the countries that need it most.

in just the last half hour chuck schumer is calling on bill bar and jeff sessions to testify before the senate judiciary committee with a bombshell report that trump pushed for subpoenas to apple for subpoenas about aides and their families. both vocal trump critics accusing of russian interference. they seized their data as part of a leak investigation. they have reached out to

sessions and barr without response. adam schiff is speaking out. >> it is extraordinary, untres dented for the department to see records like this. it is a shocking abuse of power. >> joining me now is leigh ann caldwell. you have some new reporting just in about what the democrats know was taken or looked at and what they don't. can you explain? >> they don't know a lot. that's part of the tension rising up right now. they don't know what sort of subpoena -- what sort of information was subpoenaed beyond the fact it is meta data which is a broad category. they can't get this information from the department of justice. they say they have asked department of justice many questions since they found out

about this in may, about the scope, about what all of this meant. there is a long list of things they want to know and things the department of justice is refusing to tell them. this is not the trump department of justice refusing. this is the biden department of justice. there is a lot of frustration and tension right now between the intelligence committee and d.o.j. and that's part of the reason they are backing an inspector general report to look into it. it has not been announced there will be congressional investigation into this. but they want information. and if they don't get it, they could proceed to that direction. >> i want to bring in michael

schmidt who broke this. the justice department conduct leak investigations all of the time. how unprecedented is it for them to go after lawmakers? >> this is the first instance we know the justice department has done this. there could have been other leak investigations. we don't have full visibility. there may have been requests that have gone on in other cases, but this is the first public example of this phenomenon happening. i think that the most basic level for this issue was the fact that this was exactly what donald trump wanted. regardless of what went into the justice department's decision here, this is exactly what the president was calling for publicly and privately at a time that he was putting as much pressure as possible on the folks at the top of the department.

>> one of the hallmarks of the trump administration was the relative scarcity of express it had thought. the president wasn't shy about wanting to investigate political rivals like adam schiff. he said this in february of 2020. >> they ought to investigate adam schiff for leaking that information. he should not be leaking information out of intelligence. they ought to investigate adam schiff. >> so they were investigating adam schiff. does your reporting cast any light on whether the president might have been aware this was happening? and those comments alone pressure to doj to start investigations? >> i don't know what trump knew about the investigation that involved schiff or whether he knew about that.

we do not know anything in that area. what this underlines is the norm that trump busted when he behaved and spoke the way he did. for decades and especially in the postwar era, presidents were not supposed to talk about investigations, because if any action were to be taken, whatever it was, people would say, well, the person at the top of the executive branch, the person that picks the folks that run the justice department, this is what he wants. back in 2017 and 2018 the president was very, very, very upset about the mueller investigations, but who jeff sessions had recused himself from that. rod rosenstein was under fire from people who wanted to impeach him. it was during that period of

time as they were staring down that pressure, that this happened. so the perception at the most basic level is one of the president of the united states with the biggest megaphone in the country blaring this out and the justice department doing it. we would need to see inside the investigation to know what the justice department had to move forward in an investigation like this. a federal judge likely played a role in employing the gag order. there is a question that would that federal judge have allowed that to happen if it was completely frivolous, but there was a lot that we don't know about the cause that the justice department had to go ahead. >> seizing records from reporters like yourself. i think we are getting a picture

of how political that department was. but was there any pushback from career doj officials when this was happening? presumably some of them are still there. >> we know there were discussions between career and political officials back and forth about whether to close some of these leak investigations. we have to remember that leak investigations are very, very difficult to do for a range of reasons. one of them is that the justice department usually was supposed to wait as a last resort to try and get information from reporters about who their sources were. so that sort of standard, which had been implemented in the aftermath of issues that came up with this under the obama administration usually makes it higher bar for the justice department to get in and use all of its powers to get to the bottom of these things. we know there were discussions about closing these

investigations, that some folks thought they should be closed and some folks thought that barr was moving too forcefully with them. but still, a lot more reporting to be done. >> a lot more reporting. glad to have you both on. thank you, both of you. coming up next, leading the charge. g7 leaders join president biden in an effort to bring vaccines to the rest of the world. how that will work and why it is so important.

sometimes they say, "it might work, it might not work." and so i ask myself the question, like, "why even get the vaccine, if it can also harm you?" for me, it's like taking a 50/50 chance. hi andrea. some say that the vaccine is harmful or that it might not work, but that's not true. millions of people have been vaccinated with no ill effects. and i can tell you that getting the vaccine is far safer than not getting it.

breaking news. federal regulateors are telling johnson & johnson to throw out doses because of possible contamination. they are allowing them to distribute about 10,000 doses from that same plant domestically and abroad. the latest in a race to vaccinate all americans.

vaccines against the virus are expected to be at the top of the g7 summit conversation. yesterday president biden announced they would purchasing 500,000 doses of the pfizer vaccine to distribute to the world's poorest countries. i would like to bring in andrea mitchell and tom hart, the acting ceo of the one campaign acting to end extreme poverty and diseases by 2030. andrea, what are you hearing about the plans to share these billion doses worldwide? >> it will be shared with nearly 100 other nations, the world's poorest nations. that is a good thing. the president said it's needed

and we have to do it because that's what we do and smart in terms of national security and growth and recovery of the economy. until the world recovers from this pandemic, the u.s. cannot fully recover from the pandemic. it has to worry about all of the variants especially in the low income countries. tom, i wanted to ask you, one campaign had advocated for this type of distribution, but one billion is what the world health organization said it needed. is this enough? does it go far enough? excuse me, 11 billion needed and only 1 billion being pledged here at the g7. >> let me start off by saying president biden's announcement he is going to purchase half a billion doses is the kind of leadership we hoped for and hopefully will be matched in

ambition by other countries. unfortunately the announce of 1 billion by the g7 falls short. as you said we need 11 billion to vaccinate the world. so we can all be safe. there is a lot more to do. >> tom, what about the issue of waiving patents which is controversial among many of these g7 countries? >> waiving patents and ip rights are part of the process of producing more vaccines. there is no question that we need to increase production around the world to get to the 11 billion doses required. the fastest thing we can do is for nations like the united states and eu to donate their surplus doses. there are about 2.5 billion more

doses in the pipeline than ne need to vaccinate their entire country. g7 should committed to distribute those through covax. that's what we need to do today and tomorrow we need to work on increasing production of vaccines globally. >> to accomplish that beyond this commitment, what needs to be done in terms of distribution? these are pfizer doses that the u.s. is donating. those, of course, are two doses and refrigeration so difficult to distribute especially in africa and some of these other countries. >> the pfizer doses are a welcome contribution to the global need but not sufficient. we need a range of vaccines including johnson & johnson,

astrazeneca and others in order to get around the world as quickly as possible. the pfizer vaccines are very, very welcome. they require ultra cold storage which is appropriate to hospital settings and other places with those facilities. some of the other vaccines will be easier to distribute in harder or rural or hard to reach destinations. so we need countries that have surplus vaccines to share them. >> tom, thank you very much. garrett, back to you. >> thank you, tom hart and andrea mitchell. >> we will have more about dr. jill biden and her first trip ahead. and tomorrow chris jansing with live special coverage of the g7 summit and all of the developments of president biden's trip to europe.

he has to. the democrats have the filibuster in their back pocket. you tweeted -- even president biden doesn't support getting rid of the 60-vote threshold entirely. so is he getting bogged down trying to be bipartisan as happened with the obama administration back in 2009? >> his administration put together an important effort to try to find common ground. a handful of republican senators want to spend over a trillion, but house democrats want to continue to strengthen the economy and work on climate change. i think there will be an infrastructure package. at the end of the day a lot of democrats in washington understand the threat to

democracy, but not enough do. dianne feinstein was quoted yesterday as saying if i thought there was a threat to democracy, i would do something about it. we are living on borrowed time. we need support out of doj to support this democracy. there are enough republicans at the state and federal level that who wins the election doesn't matter. the thing that i am concerned about is that it is so terrible they are making it harder to vote and register. that's awful. the biggest concern i have is that they want to change who decides wins elections. so republicans that want to overturn an election that doesn't go their way is living in fantasy. >> it is reportedly announced concrete steps by the justice department to push back on voting restrictions.

what do you want to see from the doj and what does democratic leadership need to do to move the ball forward on a voting rights package. >> this is a democratic and republican issue. either you are pro-autocracy or pro democracy. every part of our government and citizens need to use all of the power they have to protect democracy. doj, congress. that is the various lawsuits that will be filed. again, this is one of the more pronounced threats. there were threats in hawaii in december of 1941. this is a threat from within the united states, from those that want to destroy our democracy through partisan gain.

we need to see congress, doj, at the state level. let's look at everything possible we can do to mitigate this both in terms of making sure we are not making it too hard to register and vote, but in the final analysis making sure votes count. that's what is so concerning in georgia and other states. they want to give state legislatures the ability to determine who won the election. >> i know you are familiar with the green lantern theory of the presidency, the comic version that somehow everything could be solved by the president if he just tried hard enough. do you worry about president biden if he doesn't get the gun control package or infrastructure package, but

backlash from people that he didn't do everything he wanted. >> give me a break. whatever controversy and complaints democrats have with joe biden, working with republicans, the priority was getting vaccinations and working on the economy. at the end of the day the question is how much will be left for the agenda. do you take something more skinny to the republicans or do everything you can to help the economy. you can't look at either in isolation. i think you have to go as big as you can on either of them. at the end of the day -- and the polls are clear. joe biden is more than 60% in a lot of surveys which i didn't think i would see a president obtain again.

summit. first lady dr. jill biden and the duchess of cambridge met 4 and 5-year-olds at a school in west cornwall to express the importance of early childhood education. and tonight queen elizabeth will join leaders of the g7 for dinner. boris johnson seen here arriving at that dinner a few moments ago. and andrea mitchell is back with us now and she was with dr. biden an the duchess at the school tour. and she's back with me now and joining us is daisy mcandrew. and andrewa, you won the tool report lottery. you were the reporter with the first lady an the duchess and you asked kate about the newest member of the royal family. tell us about it. >> well first of all, the children, they were adorable. but i did ask the duchess of cambridge about the newest member of the family, let's watch. >> your royal highness, do you have any wishes for your new

niece lilly bet. >> i can't wait to meet her. because we can't yet met her yet so hopefully that will be soon. >> are you -- [ inaudible ]. >> so davie mcandrew, what did you think of her response? there is a lot of controversy over the name? >> there is controversy over the name. i suspect that she might be -- which was a very clever question to ask her. you got the first response from either william or kate about whether they had spoken to prince harry and meghan since the birth of lillybet. personally i find it sad that they haven't face timed. many my sister or brother had a baby a number of days ago, i know that i would have. and i think it tells the story that there is a genuine wish there. she didn't feel she would lie

and say we have facetimed so i felt it was a real shame. >> i did also ask dr. jill biden as an if educator and loved being in the classroom with the children about the importance of early childhood education there with the 4 and 5-year-olds. >> dr. biden, how important is early childhood education, especially in a pandemic, post pandemic. >> it is very important. i could tell you that as a teacher, at the upper level, if they don't have a good foundation, they fall so far behind. because this is amazing to see what these children are doing. and how par advanced they are and at 5 years old. >> and what message the duchess and dr. biden of course, first lady, sending by going to the school which is one of the
