good to be with you. i'm katy tur. in nine days, the sprawling investigation into january 6th, the countless interviews behind closed doors, the hours of

testimony we brought to you live over months will all be wrapped into what we can only anticipate will be a massive final report. "politico" is reporting that drafts have been circulating between committee members for weeks. and that the final version, which will be presented on december 21st, just a week or so away, will be broken down into eight chapters that lean heavily on the evidence that was presented during the panel's public hearings over the summer and early fall. seven of which "politico" reports have chapter titles that include the world "trump," the expectation is that the report will add texture to all of the evidence that the committee laid out over the nine public hearing, all of them in essence arguing donald trump is the one to blame for january 6th. the part we are still unclear on though is what is happening with the criminal referral, or referrals. chairman bennie thompson said today no decision has been made yet. presumably because it's unclear

how much a referral would matter to the d.o.j. >> the criminal referrals themselves aren't necessarily something that is going to wake d.o.j. up to something they didn't know before. congress thinks, you know, a crime has been committed here, or the d.o.j. should investigate it. >> we're all certainly in agreement that there was evidence of criminality here. and we want to make sure that the justice department is aware of it. >> it is largely symbolic because at the time we first started having this debate about the referral, it wasn't clear how far along the justice department was. since then the justice department has appointed special counsel and added a lot of staff to the matter. >> let's figure it out. joining me is senior capitol hill reporter garrett haake and "politico" white house reporter and author eugene daniels, an msnbc political contributor. garrett, what's the latest on these criminal referrals, referral, are they happen can, not happening? what's the talk.

>> the talk is they're happening or at least one of them is, and bennie thompson made that pretty clear last night, that they had made the decision to do at least one criminal referral, and i think from your excellent summary, we can all pretty much assume who that is going to be. it is going to be donald trump. this committee is made up of people who voted to impeach donald trump and argued in their hearings and before judges, in various court filings, that they do believe donald trump broke the law, along the way in the january 6th lead-up. so yes, i think donald trump is almost certainly going to be referred. the question monday that is who else do you refer? and part of the challenge to that is where do you draw the line? do you cast a wide net and refer everyone you think that had done something illegal? more narrowly and hit perhaps people near the top or feem who refused to cooperate with the people or took the fifth, somebody like a john eastman or jeff clark and when it is largely symbolic and a sticky note if you will in the report to draw d.o.j.'s attention to certain things. how many of those do you want to put? does it water down the big one

at the top? these are all decisions the committee's got to make in the next few days. >> what about the talk, eugene, of whether it would make the d.o.j. investigation, the special counsel investigation, harder politically? are they concerned with what political message it might sends to the country, sending these referrals? >> yes, i think garrett's right, you know, if they keep it small and keep it laser-focused on trump and a couple of others, instead of the wide net, when they are talking about the referrals, i think there are folks think that will take some of the politics out of it because the folks, as they laid out these, for weeks and weeks, months and months, the investigative findings, it was very clear what they were reporting on, and the name trump, as you said, it's in seven of the chapter titles for this, so it is very clear who they're focusing on, and that's what the country has heard about the most. so there is a concern about the politics of doing this, and

putting a wide net, because then the question is, what was the entire point. if your point is this is about donald trump, this is something he did, why the wide net? and i think that is something that the d.o.j. is definitely watching, though they would never say publicly that they are. >> let's go to that graphic showing the chapter titles again. and great reporting from "politico," trump's effort to sow distrust in the results of the election. trump's pressure on state governments. trump campaign efforts to send pro-trump electors. trump's push to deploy the justice department. trump's effort to summon supporters. during which trump refused to tell rioters to go home. 187 minutes. a lot of trump. talk to me though about what we're expecting out of this final report, beyond the criminal referrals, we saw so much during the public hearings, so much testimony, so much video we saw of the insurrection, so much we heard about donald trump's inaction. what else could we get in this report do you think, eugene?

>> this is, they're trying to tie a bow on all of this, they have to finish this up, this is kind of the last word that congress is going to give on this day, so making sure there is a clear line not just for now, as we look into it, and talk about it, but also for history, and they're talking about kind of five investigative teams that the committee had, so look at trump, and look at the role of the extremism we saw, and they talked a lot about that. and the money trail behind trump's january 6th rally, and also law enforcement failures, so there's quite a bit that they're going to talk all in here, toss in here, alongside of just thinking about donald trump and how he pressured folks into trying to overturn the will of the people. and this is, you know, one of the things that's going to be fascinating is the reactions, right? that is always something that we're looking for as political reporters, not from democrats, because we kind of know what those reactions are going to be

but from republicans, we've had these conversations about whether or not donald trump has the power over the republican party as much as we thought he had. if we don't see a lot of republicans coming out and defending him, that will tell us quite a bit. and i think also it will send a signal to other political entities investigating trump around the country. >> i think you're so right about that. garrett, anything to add? >> i think one other additional thing is you went through the chapter titles, those were basically the hearing titles, too. we're seeing this report organized in much of the same way the committee approached the hearing. one thing that might be true in addition to what we heard in the hearing, cassidy hutchinson's testimony in the late june hearing where she talked about donald trump's behavior with the secret service, there was a lot of pushback from secret service officers and a lot of them came back in to be re-interviewed and up with element of the broader story that has not been publicly buttoned up yet that we may see in this report that we didn't hear in hearings over the course of the summer. >> a very good point as well.

garrett, i want to ask you about marjorie taylor green, over the weekend, you had a young republican gala in new york city and she seemed to be bragging about how good she would be in overflowing the government. here is what she said. then january 6th happened. and i will tell you something, if steve bannon and i had organized that, we would have won. not to mention, it wood have been armed. the white house obviously thinks this is a slap in the face to law enforcement officers and greene's response says the white house needs to know how sarcasm works, my comments were making fun of joe biden and the democrats who have continuously made me a target since january 6th. garrett? >> marjorie taylor greene went on to add that this was a second amendment commentary, that democrats only like guns when they are used to defend the security guard as a celebrity or

the capitol and she would have been armed because of her second amendment position. look, this is not, this is pretty much par for the course for this congresswoman who has two things working for her at this moment, she is not on any committees and stripped of those in this congress, and she is essentially a commentate ner congress right now, and she won't be in the next congress. she has been promised by kevin mccarthy that she will be restored and kevin mccarthy very much needs her vote and the support of others like her in that future congress. so i don't think you're going to see those comments condemned by republican leadership as much as democrats and the white house have found it to be. >> thank you very much. and confusing and woefully incomplete. the fbi's annual hate crimes report for 20 1i, what is missing from it is raising more questions than the actual findings. some of the country's largest police jurisdictions including new york and los angeles did not report data for last year, 2021.

in fact, only 65% of political agencies did. down from 93% the year before. joining me now to explain is nbc news justice and intelligence reporter ken dilanian and correspondent jacob soboroff. i don't understand. if they're filing to the fbi, was this not required or why did it change in 2021? >> you put your finger on it, it is not required, it is voluntary and that may be part of the problem here. the fbi changed the way it collects the data and is requiring a much more detailed reporting system which they say ultimately will be good, because we'll learn more about crimes. but the jurisdictions, the local agencies say it's more labor-intensive. and so even though the fbi announced this change years ago, and has provided millions of dollars in grants to various agencies to help them comply with this, very many key jurisdictions have not complied this year, and this is the year the fbi said we're only going to take the numbers this way or nothing. and so as you said, cities like

new york and l.a. didn't report, also huge chunks of major states like florida and california, and so we're left in a year that we know, from private studies and experts, that hate crimes may be on a record pace, maybe the most hate crimes ever in history, in 2021, we have a very incomplete portrait. but nonetheless, counted more than 7,200 hate crimes which will be the third most in a deck. even with this lack of reporting. >> does this affect, this not reporting, would it potentially affect the amount of money that they get allocated? i mean if you're not reporting all of your numbers, you're not reporting a certain segment of what you're experiencing as a police department is, there something that could end up biting you in the behind later on? >> it is more of an understanding and a data issue, that they have, the local police departments have the numbers themselves, they know what it is, but they haven't reported it to the fbi so they can compile it so we can understand from a national perspective exactly what is happening. and criminologists will look at this and say it is a great

tragedy. we need data to better understand the full picture. and this isn't just numbers, katy. there are some horrific hate crimes that happened in 2021. i was looking at a case, a texas man, sentenced to 25 years in prison, for attacking an asian family at a sam's club in midland, texas, slashing the face of a 6-year-old child. so these are the kind of crimes we're talking about. >> jacob, you talked to the dhs secretary, secretary mayorkas today about a certain segment of hate crimes. what did he tell you? >> i was with him today at a synagogue here on the upper west side of manhattan, secretary mayorkas is cuban and also jewish, his mother fled the holocaust and lost nine members of his family in the holocaust and there is an ep democratic of hate and -- epidemic, of hate and anti-semitism in the united states and if you look at the numbers from the fbi crime report last year, many are trargting jewish-americans, so i

asked secretary mayorkas about that whether or not he thinks things are getting better or things are getting worse. here is what he said. >> you know, two years ago at the confirmation hearing, you said you had wanted to tackle the issue of anti-semitism once and for all but what i hear you saying today, it has only gotten worse. >> i think that is absolutely right. but our fight has only become more fervent. the resources we have invested in it have become greater. our dedication to addressing targeted violence against any group has become more and more intense. unfortunately, jacob, as you correctly note, the need for it has increased as well. >> and so, you know, secretary mayorkas just last month issued a national terrorism advisory bulletin saying among many different ethnic groups and religious group, jews were targeted in the violent attacks in the united states, he has taken it extremely seriously, he is very worried about it, and he has even said that his own personal safety has been at

risk, and we talk more about it at length on nightly news tonight. >> thank you. and we have more from the report, special counsel's donald trump's subpoena to secretary of state raffensperger and getting a hold of that subpoena. can you explain? >> this would be the fifth state, katy, to confirm getting a subpoena to local election officials from the special counsel, and secretary of state raffensperger was in that recorded conversation where donald trump was asking that if georgia officials could produce the exact number of votes, to find the number of votes that they needed to win the state and they refused and this has been the subject of an investigation in the state of georgia, but now, it's very clear that special counsel and the justice department is looking closely at this interaction. >> so you're talking about the fifth state. so there is wisconsin, there's arizona, michigan, i believe pennsylvania as well.

any indication or reason to believe that there might be another state that should be anticipating something with the special counsel? >> i think anywhere that trump and his aisd were pressuring local officials to change the result, we're corresponding with them, we're putting forth their baseless theories of fraufd and trying to get state legislators for example to adopt them, any of those states would be in play. >> thank you very much. and as jacob said, you can watch more of the interview with secretary alejandro mayorkas tonight on "nbc nightly news." let's get back to the hate crime center and the center for hate and extremism and former new york city police officer brian leven. what happens when the fbi doesn't get these numbers? >> it is disastrous. when we try to do like a dow jones 50 average, or a dow jones 20 average, of states, 50

average of cities, we found that in these places that are relatively consistent with their reporting standards and practices that there were increases of 21% across states, and 29% across 50 of the largest cities overall. but this also affects different communities. we showed a record for anti-asian hate. when you leave out new york city, l.a., and chicago, too, and you're functionally leaving out florida and california, this is devastating for the data that points in the completely opposite direction of the social scientist, especially our section that gets into the data. bottom line, just listen to this. just the exclusion of new york city and california alone, if you just made up for what they reported locally, regionally, we would have well over 9,000 hate crimes, if you're looking at

challenging a record, and we also have a huge increase in anti-semitic, anti-latino, anti-gay, anti-white, and you're not seeing it. i was involved in a study that was used in the promulgation of the hate crimes act, and we did it in the '80s, this is the worst presentation of data that we've seen since '91. in 2012, there was an amending of the hate crime report, calling for the federal government to please amend these data. the average american resident will be totally confused because we're looking at inferences going up, possibly to a record, or at least getting near it, and instead, we're reporting a decline. and it is an incomplete report, which disproportionately hits the highest reporting agencies. there is a message that is confusing to the american public and what does it do to the fbi's ability to address these issue, and to address the rise and your

number, anti-asian crimes up 224%, these are according to your organization, anti-jewish crimes up 59%. anti-lbgtq crimes up 51%. so if the fbi doesn't have that correct data, how can it address the issue? >> unfortunately, that's why we exist. whether it is extremists, homicides, and other things that the various federal agencies should be more transparent about, that being said, i hope it is someone somewhat a temporary problem and we need to make hate crime data collection mandatory and make policies mandatory, because we are getting not only incomplete pictures geographically, but we're getting an incomplete picture with regard to these different communities. and what is interesting is, we went by the old school way of accounting, getting emails and paper and it ended up being more

accurate than what the federal government ended up doing. >> so these police departments have that data, they know what they need to address individually, and it did not come -- is it not something that they can take care of their own? >> you really need some kind of oversight. here in california, we have a brand new commission, and when i say oversight, i don't mean just looking at data, miami over the last decade, it was zero hate crime, eight of 10 years, and cities reporting zero hate crimes and a big zero, and this year was a double whammy. whee existing routine -- we had existing routine problems that we have, on top of the failure of many major jurisdictions to actually get into this new reporting platform. we need to put out an advisory this. needs to be amended. >> brian levin, thank you very

much. appreciate your time. and coming up, what brittney griner did today, and what it says about her future on the basketball court. plus, los angeles has a new mayor, and a big job in front of her. what she just announced she will do first. and the man who is accused of making the bomb that took down pan am flight 103 is in u.s. custody. what prosecutors are saying about his very first court appearance. re saying about his very first court appearance research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's one that'll really take you back. wow! what'd you get, ryan? it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual!!! what does it do, bud? it customizes our home insurance so we only pay for what we need! and what did you get, mike? i got a bike. ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

brittney griner was back on the basketball court yesterday. her agent told espn her first play was a dunk. while griner and her family are thrilled she is back home, understandably so, so many people are, there is still concern about the other american held in a russian prison. but over the weekend, the biden administration soundsed a little bit more optimistic about getting him home. >> they hold mr. paul whelan

differently because of the espionage charges and so we're working through that now. we are now more informed clearly going through this process, a little more informed, and we have a better understanding of the context where the russian expectations are and we will keep working ton. >> morgan chesky has more. what is the latest on brittney griner's condition? >> reporter: encouraging news. her agent has spoken to espn, and described brittney griners a being upbeat and in good spirits and they wanted her to have initial time to reacclimate but from all account these is engaging inasmuch as possible and enjoying the fact that she can speak eng -- english at this point, and nearly a year in captivity, nine, ten months in captivity and hearing mostly russian. do you know a special delivery of san antonio barbecue arrived yesterday that brittney griner shared with friends and family

who are visiting her at fort sam houston and right now, all accounts are that following this light workout, she is in good spirit, of course she dropped that trademark dunk, and so that is optimistic news, although she is keeping it close to the vest as to whether or not she will return to the wnba. >> let's play a little bit of the reference you made to her wanting to talk. this is roger carston, the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, he's the one we see in the photos next to her, who helped bring her home. >> we actually tried to give her some space, and look, you probably want to decome praes after ten months in a russian prison and she said no, i want to talk, i want to relate to people and i found somebody absolutely wonderful, kind, generous, above all, authentic. >> and any indication whatsoever in what she will make her first public appearance? >> very good question. of course, everyone wanting to know when she is going to speak

out in public, and/or be seen, following her arrival here in texas, according to brittney griner's agent, she says she will anticipate a statement from griner at some point this week. at which point we can hope that she will be able to clarify her future with the wnba and the phoenix mercury, but right now, the agent is making it very lear to espn, and everyone else, that that is solely her decision to make. it is encouraging to hear the fact that she was on the court and dropping the trademark dunk in the trademark sneakers. >> what we know about the sudden death of the sports reporter grant wahl in qatar. and karen bass was sworn into office yesterday. what she did today to address the city's biggest crisis. s the city's biggest crisis. eing . and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults.

help create a quote new unified citywide strategy to address the crisis. gadi schwartz is in los angeles. >> this is a sitting room. >> for the past two years, this woman has worked to make this l.a. area house a home. >> this is all donations for the unhoused communities. >> the house isn't hers. she and her two daughters moved into the el cerino property in march, 2020, no rental agreement. >> we are in an extreme time where the housing crisis is a breaking point. >> a few of the 40,000 people in l.a. with nowhere else to go. >> i live unhoused for over a year and a half. the rent was so high, and i was unable to get a job. and we needed to do something

about it. >> these houses were among 700 homes that the tate transportation agency cal transpurchased to make way for a freeway extension that was never built. in october of 2020, after months of negotiations, cal transworked with the city's housing authority to issue two-year loses to some of the group including martha. and now those leases are expired and martha and her two daughters could be kicked out any minute. >> we can have a house and breathe and establish yourself and then you need to get out, you need to get out. >> the california state senator who reps the area says there was a plan in place to get these houses to low income people, and organized groups disrupted it. >> they have interrupted the process that we were going towards in order to have affordable housing and to be able to sell back to the community. >> the average monthly rent in l.a. county is $2300. and to pay that, renters would need to earn more than $45 an hour, three times the city's

minimum wage. and it is not just l.a. organized groups took over homes in oakland in 2019 and tried to move into more homes here later in 2020, resulting in a confrontation with police. more than 60 people were arrested. the housing authority in los angeles says it's going to do everything they can to help martha transition into other housing options. what happens to these houses is up to cal trans, who says it is planning to sell an initial 37 homes to organizations that provide low income housing. as for this family, their future is still unknown. >> i have a college degree. i was born and raised here. and this is stressful but so is living a life that is not sustainable. >> joining me is the los angeles times staff writer, benjamin, thanks for joining us. and i think it was pointed out in the piece, that kind of the misconception, if you're look forecast the outside in, is that the housing crisis in los angeles is about mental health.

you can put these tents up and people need mental health help, not just housing, but he shows so well in that story that it is not that, it's in addition to the fact that housing is just so expensive, not even in the city center, or in the tonier suburbs, across the entire county, that people just don't have anywhere to go. >> absolutely. and sort of the intersection of how homelessness starts is about lack of mental health services, lack of housing, and all of those things put pressure on people who are like really living on the edge, and any number of studies show that there are 100,000 people who are in homes but on the verge of losing their homes and that's what you see sort of creating this political maelstrom of anger and frustration at all levels and nothing is being done. >> a combination of the two issues. and pairing that with karen

bass, declaring a homelessness crisis, what does that mean? what will that effectively do? >> to that end, you know, the bulk of the government in l.a., you have a county that is filled with mental health services and a city that builds housing and her message is we are a united front. she stood next to the chairman of the board of supervisors and emphasized that with these powers that she now has, that the city council has to approve them, they will likely do that tomorrow, she's going to attempt to expedite the process, to help people get off the streets. what that means is trying to rent more hotel rooms and entire buildings, and creating a process that is more coordinated, more centralized in her office, where as before, you really had a lot of cases where each city council office was trying to figure out what was happening in their community, and that was not sort of efficient or dealing with the problem at the scale that it really is.

>> about three and a half ago, i had a conversation with former mayor garcetti and he told me that the homelessness crisis, which is bad back then, even worse now, would be resolved in the next few years, because the city was building a lot of low income housing, more affordable housing, especially along the lines where the trans-service was being extended. what happened with that, with that plan? >> eric spent a lot of his political capital on a ballot measure, prop hhh, billion dollar bond measure that would build thousands of units of supportive housing, with the construction of housing for people living on the edge and a lot of it is being built right now, thousands of units are opened this year, the challenge is that the crisis, the affordable housing crisis that you heard about in that piece

before i joined you, it has worsened and put the pressure on the people who have entered homelessness. naimt we have not seen the required expansion of mental health services and outreach workers and affordable housing, and housing of all different are different kinds. you have to think about the most expensive housing and down the line, that you see the pressures on the people who are sort of on the edge. >> please come back and talk to us about the plans that karen bass has and how they're going to be implemented and what happens. we appreciate your hard work. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. coming up, what iran did today to a second protester. and 34 years later, the accused locker by bomber is in u.s. custody. what one sister who lost her brother on pan am flight 103 says the arrest has done for her. he arrest has done for her. ever wonder why they call it the american dream... and not the american goal? announcer: derek jeter

would have it pretty buttoned up and they know what their evidence is, but just to give a sense of how long family members have waited, 34 years, it is an incredibly long time, and in 2001, katy, the first lockerbie trial in the netherlands, three scottish judges convicted one libyan operative and the prosecutors said there were more people involved. in 2012, masud give this interview, and we don't know what the circumstances of the interview were, or whether it was under duress, but he does confess to making the bomb. in 2017, katy, u.s. officials get wind of this interview, and it is not until 2020, two years ago, on the anniversary of the bombing, that the d.o.j. brings charges. we expect to see masud, we expect to see him at 1:00 p.m. and he is now going to be there at 3:00 p.m., and so many huge questions, whether exactly, you know, how long the trial is going to be, what kinds of trial

it is going to be but certainly a lot of relief from family members that have been waiting a very long time for justice. >> molly hunter, thank you very much. and joining me now is one of those family, the president of the victims of pan am flight 103, kara's brother richard was one of 35 syracuse university students killed in that bombing and was on that plane. kara, thank you very much. what does it mean to you to hear about this arrest? >> thank you for having me. it's significant. it was a monumental day yesterday, now that he is in u.s. custody, and it is going to be a bigger day today, knowing that he is being arraigned in the u.s. courtroom. >> what do you see happening 34 years later? >> it is not happening to him, it is knowing that justice is being served in our country, it is also hearing the evidence, and finding out the truth of what happened, and that's what the families have been fighting for, for 34 years, is the truth

of what happened, and how this happened, and who was responsible for the murder of our loved ones, and holding those people accountable. >> did the government get in touch with you to talk about the process by which they were able to get a hold of him? >> the government has been in touch with me, but no, i don't know anything about the process in which they retained custody of him, no. >> do you have any plans on attends the arraignment or, obviously it will be in a few minutes, but the trial when it happens? >> yes, i do. i do plan to attend the trial. unfortunately i'm out of town for a celebration for my family right now, but yes, i do intend to attend the trial. >> tell us a little bit about your brother. 4 years old. a college student. -- 34 yield ago. a college student. he was studying abroad, right? >> yes, i think that says a lot about him. he was, you know, willing to step outside his comfort zone, and travel to a foreign country,

and explore the world. while they were there, they went to russia, on their fall break, before communism ended there, and he liked to challenge the norms, he liked to challenge himself, he liked to look at the world in a unique way, and he had a different perspective. in one of his journal writings he talked about how great december 21st was going to be, because he was coming home. but he didn't want to waste the time that he was away and he wanted to make the most of every moment that he had of this time abroad. and it was just knowing that, you know, you don't want to waste the opportunities when you have them. and he pushed his friends, he pushed like me, he pushed those around him, to be better versions of ourselves. >> correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe his journal was one of the items that investigators were able to recover from the

wreckage. >> yes, a lot of his journal wrightings were found in the wreckage, yes. and were returned to us. >> 34 years later, do you feel like this is going to give you some closure? >> i will never use the word closure, because closure signifies an end, and i think that when we use loved ones, that love never goes away, so there's never an end to that grief and that loss, so i do think that this brings a sense of peace, and i think that as we fight for justice, and as we learn more information, and as the evidence is presented in this trial, and families gain more knowledge, i think that that will just bring them more a sense of peace, and that's what i hope for them. >> i'm so sorry to have to re-live this again, but it's good to know that this does bring a sense of peace. thank you very much for being with us today. >> thank you. and iran state media reports a second known prisoner has been
