right now on "andrea mitchell reports," donald trump's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. could get worse. democrats are wrestling with whether to release the former president's tax returns to the public, just two weeks before republicans take charge of the house. this as the january 6th committee prepares to release its final report tomorrow after sending criminal referrals against donald trump to the department of justice. supreme court justice john roberts placed a hold on lifting title 42, the restrictions set to expire tomorrow. that was news to the white house. he wants the white house to respond by 5:00 today. tens of thousands of migrants

hoping to cross the border wait. congress is waiting to pass the government funding bill before leaving town for christmas. they just finished writing it. we will look at how they plan to spend $1.7 trillion of your money. good day. the ways and means committee is meeting to take up the long awaited trump tax returns and vote on potentially releasing those returns to the public. despite promising to release them back in 2016, the former president has been fighting tooth and nail to keep them private, taking his fight to the supreme court and losing last month. returns obtained by "the new york times" show trump paid nominal income taxes and detailed the financial struggles of his properties. >> why not release the tax returns not involved in the audit? >> i'm sure you have seen the pictures where the returns are

up to here. you don't learn much from tax returns. >> for years, he said he couldn't release them because they were being audited, which is not the case. joining me now, capitol hill correspondent garrett haake, "new york times" investigative reporter susan craig, who won the pulitzer for her reporting on trump's finances. garrett, i should make it very clear, we're not going to see the tax returns. it will be summaries of the tax returns, if they decide to release them. walk us through what exactly we will see after the ways and means committee meeting this afternoon. we don't know yet, as of last check, whether it will be public, private or a little combination of both. >> reporter: it sounds like the latter. they operate under strict secrecy rules as applies to the tax returns, any tax returns through the rule they used to get donald trump's. what they have today is a hearing that will be open only

for the briefest moment, and then they will go into executive session. they will kick press out. members will review the tax returns, which based on the secrecy rules, they haven't been able to directly confirm that they have had up until this point. that hearing will happen today. we will hear from the chairman afterwards to reveal whatever the committee decided to do with the returns. as you pointed out, it's unlikely we will see any raw data, certainly not today. what we may see and what there is precedent for is some kind of staff report potentially on what's in these returns. that was the case with nixon's returns. it could be the case here. as you pointed out, this is six years of returns from 2015 to 2020. the committee requested them under the rule that allows them to review presidential tax returns under audit. i think a lot of people are curious to see whether there's

conflict of interest and whether as "the times" has reported, property donald trump has not been telling the truth about his finances over the years. it's unlikely we get the complete answer today. you can figure out, they want to get something out into the public. now it's a matter of time and a condense window to find out what that's going to be. >> susan, i wanted to make a couple things clear. we have always gotten tax returns from presidents. they are released routinely. it was only donald trump who said because his were under audit and all presidents are automatically under audit because of their high profile. he said because they were under audit, he couldn't release them. that was not true. he could have released them at any time. >> he could have released them. one, when i see this and we have come to today after how many

years of donald trump saying he was going to release his tax returns and he doesn't, if he had just released some of them in 2016, we wouldn't be here today. it's incredible. it's so donald trump to fight this to the end, even when it doesn't make sense. that's the first thing on the fact that he let this get to today is incredible. it's now just a horrible news event. it has been every time it comes up for him. secondly, there's an ongoing -- it's a massive ongoing audit that the irs undertook from -- it was an issue that stems back to 2008 and 2009. if it goes against him, it could cost him up to in excess of $100 million. it's huge. what i'm looking for today that i think is going to move the ball forward is information on that audit. what we do know from his taxes -- "the new york times" obtained his taxes through 2018. we saw that he has very big tax

returns. he doesn't make very much money. most of his businesses, in fact, lose money. we're not going to see anything that breaks that narrative today. we're going to see a lot of red ink. i think we will learn more about how he did during the covid-19 -- the crisis. a lot of his businesses are dependent on hospitality. we may get insight into that. they probably did horribly during the pandemic. those are the things i'm looking for into today and tomorrow if they do release the returns. >> do you think it will show us more about the fact that he is not as wealthy as he had always claimed? will it give us insight into underreporting and overreporting income, depending whether he wanted to inflate or lower his income for tax reasons? >> income tax returns, they give you an idea. you see how much money they are making. they're not an indication of net worth.

we will see his businesses under pressure. i don't think there's any doubt about that. when i think about the fact he sold the old post office, one of his prized assets, it wasn't a new development, he sold it. you don't usually do that right after you put money in to sell it right away. it was an indication that he needed cash. the ntfs, the deal he did, it's horrible for his brand. this is a guy who is all about his brand. maybe it's just too late for any sort of brand discussion about donald trump. the fact that he is doing stuff like that indicates to me that he needs money. >> yeah. i wanted to clarify, we refer to it as the old post office building. it was the trump hotel, which he turned into -- this historic building into a luxury hotel which was the centerpiece of his presence in washington. >> he spent so much money on that. it's a beautiful building. i don't think -- he sold it because it could bring in a fair

bit of money at a time when we suspect he needed it. >> it's all fascinating. we will see how much we see. stay tuned, as they stay. garrett, thank you so much. susan, your insight into this so valuable. the big deal. the deadline to fund the government and a holiday break days away, what is in, what's not in the massive trillion dollar spending bill? we will talk to senator chris coons about that and more. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports." this is msnbc. hell reports." this is msnbc. would be coaxed with a spoon on the fluffiest french toast with red currants on top we wish you a happy holiday, only at ihop. new gingersnap apple french toast, part of our new holiday menu. try all three flavors.

we must finish passing this omnibus before the deadline on friday when government funding runs out. but we hope to do it much sooner than that, because we are mindful that a nor'easter is barrelling down the east coast on thursday and friday. let me say this again. the sooner we pass the omnibus, the better.

>> congress is racing the clock and they are racing the weather. they need all the senators to agree to finish this massive spending bill before they can go home before that storm hits and get home for christmas. the package would fund the government through next fall and includes a fix to the electoral count act, prompted by donald trump's attempt to overturn the election. more aid to ukraine and the expansion of the afghan siv program, but not the afghan adjustment act. explanation in a moment. many items the democrats wanted didn't make it. appropriation committee member democratic senator chris coons joins me now. i know you have been working hard on this, as have all of you. it's all in the details, as we say. the senator is on the foreign

relations and judiciary among other committees. did democrats have to give up too much? i'm thinking of the afghan refugees. we know senator shaheen and others worked hard to get the immigrant visa program for those who were working with us extended to 2024. the adjustment act for refugees stranded in other countries or those trying to resettle and get legal status here -- i have talked to them -- they are having a hard time. this would have helped them to gain citizenship after spending so much time helping our military. >> absolutely. andr andrea, that's one of the pieces i'm most disappointed is not in the bill as of now. we have a strong bipartisan group of senators, ten senators, senior republicans and democrats, including president pro-tem pat leahy. we have been joined by senators

like wicker and graham and blunt. we heard from military leaders. we heard from veterans. we have heard from the afghans who are in our communities who deserve this special adjustment that would give them legal status here in the united states. that would give them a pathway towards housing and education, working here and a stable new life here in the united states. to do anything less than that is failing to meet our moral commitment to those who fought alongside us for 20 years in afghanistan. senator klobuchar and shaheen and i will continue to push for this up until the end. if we don't succeed, then into the next congress. >> of course, the house will be taken over by republicans. you may have support from a number of republicans on the house side. that's to be continued. let's talk about the electoral count act. does this fix, prevent what donald trump was trying to do

last time around on january 6th? >> it doesn't fix everything. it makes some critical repairs to this more than 100-year-old bill, the electoral count act. it was an obscure legal theory whether or not the vice president had the unilateral ability to overturn the election that in some part led to the january 6th assault on the capitol. this legislation fixes that and a number of other critical issues. i had the chance to work with senator portman on addressing some of the transition issues that arose from the 2020 election. i'm grateful that senators collins and manchin led a bipartisan group who worked hard and this is now in the omnibus that we should take up and pass this week. >> the budget deal is unusual in one respect -- another respect, i should say. it increases defense spending by 10%.

non-defense is 5.5%. usually, there's parody. going forward are you going to find it hard to object to republican efforts to cut domestic spending? >> this was a tough pill to swallow. frankly, getting this $1.7 trillion omnibus appropriations bill done means that for the next two years, we have a higher baseline that we are working off of. this bill funds some of the most important pieces of legislation that president biden has signed into law. i will give you two quick examples. the pact act, expansion of veterans' benefits in american history. that's funded through this law. the chips and science act, which brings advanced manufacturing of semiconductor chips and cutting-edge science research investment back to the united states. this bill funds that law. there's also a significant increase in investment in state and local law enforcement.

$4.4 billion. there's a number of president biden's priorities funded. in the end, we also added $45 billion in assistance for the brave ukrainians fighting against russian occupiers. i thought this was the best deal we could get, an important deal to get over the finish line before we head home for the holidays. >> do you think you will get a time agreement? i think you need unanimous consent to move through quickly. you have a storm approaching. >> that's correct. the storm may help focus some of our members who usually want to keep us here day after day. as you know, one of the rules is you can do anything with unanimous consent. without unanimous consent, it takes a long time to do anything. i'm hopeful we will have a focused process here in the next day. >> two quick questions. the president was asked recently whether the iran deal was dead.

i'm not sure if he heard it correctly. he said, it's dead but we're not saying so yet. in any case, john kirby was asked that just now, and he said, we're not focused on that. is there any scenario under which you could see the iran deal being renegotiated while women are being raped, killed, children are being shot in the back of the head according to human rights groups as part of the protests and this brutal crackdown? >> given the horrific actions by the iranian regime to repress thousands and thousands of their own people, brutal public executions, as you have said, actions that are unspeakable and that reinforce the ways in which the united states disagrees with and denounces the regime in iran, it seems hard to imagine that the iran deal would be negotiated and we would move forward with did right now in this environment. >> i know you have to go. one quick question. there's wire service reporting

that the taliban reported females will not be able to attend universities under their rule, this just happened. it's a letter confirmed by a spokesperson from the higher education ministry. >> i'm unfamiliar with that. as you know, we have worked hard to try and find a way to continue to advocate for the rights of women and girls in afghanistan. i do think finding a path forward for the afghan adjustment act would give stability and security to those who are here and those who are still seeking to leave afghanistan. >> senator coons, happy holidays, merry christmas and all to you and your family. >> thank you, andrea. last night at the white house, president bide and the first lady hosted a hanukkah

celebration. a little girl asked, how did you become president? >> you know what i did? when you decide you want to be president and you decide -- first of all, you have to know why you want to be president. not just to be here. who are you going to help? what do you care most about? >> you, you, you, you. >> second question, is something so important to you, you would rather lose the election than win by doing something you didn't believe, that's the second thing. >> she's ready to hold her own town hall meeting. the white house has been holding meetings about what kind of campaign to run in 2024 ee -- even before the president announced if he will run.

a month after he announced his campaign for election, former president trump remains isolated at mar-a-lago, pushing back against the january 6 committee's conclusions. writing, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger. could he be losing more support among republicans? mitch mcconnell was quietly critical saying, only the entire nation knows who is responsible for that day. vaughan hillyard is in west palm beach, florida. also with us is brendan buck, he worked for paul ryan and john boehner. vaughan, the former president is calling this a kangaroo court. what is he saying about the new testimony, for instance, hope hicks? >> what doesn't kill me makes me

stronger. when we talk about legally, it's not quite clear how long of a leash he will have. it's now in the hands of the department of justice to determine whether they not only prosecute him, but ultimately, you could be having a serious conversation depending on how the particular criminal statute as it retains to the insurrection act and whether inciting an insurrection can disqualify him from serving in federal office again. for donald trump, that's one issue. the other is the political one. this has been a difficult month for him. he had the dinner with nick fuentes and kanye west. his corporation was found to be criminally -- engaged in a criminal tax fraud scheme over 15 years. he has 13 congressional endorsements. he has been outside of mar-a-lago twice since announcing his presidential run. for him to get off the ground politically here, it has a lot

to do with the legal end of this and what the department of justice, what the fulton county d.a. intends to do, the new york attorney general's case looks like, there's a lot at stake here. >> brendan, how do you read the republican party right now regarding donald trump? mitch mcconnell was already there, because of the tensions in the senate over the candidates, what that meant for their election hopes this past cycle. are people beginning to cool on him? is this a case where once again they will rally around him once he calls on people to do his bidding? >> yeah, that's the right question. i think one of the notable things this week is you haven't had a lot of people rallying to donald trump's side, to back him up. he is twisting in the wind this week with few republicans pushing back against the committee.

this is not necessarily a change from how they approached the committee, which they wanted to ignore. donald trump's statement there sort of tests the theory that he once said, he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose any support. it's an open question of whether it's still true. all the things that vaughan listed have weakened him. poll after poll showing him slipping behind ron desantis. you have to think this accumulation of events, of bad news has a lot of republican voters questioning whether the guy can win. there's a huge number of republicans who like him and would be with him until the end. there may be enough who are wondering if this is a person that can defeat joe biden. they are tired of losing. it may be enough to have people be ready to turn to the next page, maybe ron desantis. >> how do you read the guy he refers to as my kevin.

>> kevin mccarthy will need donald trump's support. there's no question that that's one of the motivating factors why he maintained that relationship. if donald trump were to turn on kevin mccarthy, that would be bad news for him. i don't expect that to happen. it's one of the reasons why he did go down to mar-a-lago shortly after january 6th. i imagine if he hasn't already, will soon have to endorse him for president in 2024. >> do you see any teeth in that referral of four republican house members for failing to answer the january 6 committee subpoenas, including kevin mccarthy? >> sure. >> that goes out of business on january 3rd. >> the committee goes out of business. the ethics committee, there's no reason why they couldn't take this up next year. that's very unlikely. the way the ethics committee

works is it is evenly divided. i see almost no chance that the republicans on the ethics committee are going to agree to take up this case and punish these members in any way. maybe the most important thing going forward for this is republicans have said they want to investigate the january 6th committee itself, not just 6 but the committee. perhaps try to get testimony from the members of that committee. they have set precedent you don't need to respond. that's probably where this will land. no penalty for republicans. they probably won't get anything out of their colleagues either. >> thanks very much, vaughan, brendan. happy holidays to all. vaughan, i hope you catch a break. >> thank you. the cover story. a new york republican just elected to congress may have made up most of what looked like a very impressive resume. what happens next? you are watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. ees through the pandemic, getrefunds.com

a firestorm erupting over a newly elected republican congressman who reportedly lied about his resume, and that helped him win the seat. "the new york times" reporting that george santos, the new representative elected from long never, never worked for citigroup or goldman sachs. he also claimed he graduated from new york's barouch college, but there's no record of him attending. what else did they question when looking through his background? has there been any response from the congressman? >> there has not been a response. there has been a response from his lawyer. among the other questions here that were raised in that "new york times" article, there's little to no evidence about the animal rescue group that santos listed on his resume, friends of

>> if title 42 is lifted, border officials say there will be a record number, 10,000 unauthorized crossings per day. what's the long-term solution? you have talked to officials down there. they ramped up. they can't possibly handle that. >> reporter: that's right. it's just a numbers game, andrea. for a while, we have been looking at 10,000 a day across the border. i think it might be higher than that now that i've been able to get on the ground and talk to people. we are talking about in el paso, numbers could be 5,000 to 6,000 a day. this is one small section of the border. they are worried they could be overwhelmed and not be able to meet people's basic human needs. officials have ramped up processing. we were even able to see as of last night, a lot of migrants crossing and migrants i spoke to saying, they haven't had any interaction with immigration authorities. they walked right in. >> it's extraordinary.

julia, thank you so much for your coverage. while the january 6 committee found that law enforcement agencies have gathered substantial evidence of potential violence at the capitol on january 6, executive summary of the committee's final report does not address any security or intelligence failures and why the fbi, u.s. capitol police and other law enforcement agencies did not do more to increase security after private and public warnings. joining me now is justice reporter ryan reilly. ryan, it was absent from the executive summary, which should indicate it's not going to be in the final report. they avoid criticizing or reaching conclusions about any law enforcement or intelligence shortfalls. do we know why? >> that's right. i think the reason is they were trying to avoid distracting from the main part of the report, which is essentially that donald trump was responsible for what happened on january 6. i have been talking with a lot of people who worked with the

committee and former law enforcement officials today. one person who worked with the committee and is providing information told me they were flabbergasted about how they tried to write around this. as nbc news reported previously, the blue team and other teams that were working on various issues, the blue team was working on the law enforcement thing, they had a lot of their work set aside ahead of this. the main focus of the report was supposed to be about trump. that's not really what the initial charge of the committee was. if you look back to that original legislation that authorized this committee, the committee was supposed to focus on the intelligence failures. that's something congress could do something about. that's something they could actually have meaningful impact on. the referrals that are coming out of the committee, doj can take or leave them. some people, including chuck rosenberg, our colleague at nbc, think that that could have a detrimental impact on the investigation overall, because the doj doesn't want to look like they are following

congress' orders or they are getting sucked into the political investigation. they want to make decisions on their own. it remains to be seen when we get the final report. but the intelligence failures and law enforcement failures ahead of january 6 are not something that the committee is really trying to put an emphasis on in this initial summary. >> i know that the justice department is not saying any publically. they don't want to be, as you say, dragged into this. privately from officials, are you getting any read on how they view this, a help, something they are ignoring, something they are reading closely? >> for the fbi, it's a little bit of dodge a bullet. they are not getting scrutiny that they were expected to necessarily get. this isn't something that covering the fbi that -- that wins brownie points when you talk about intelligence failures. but it was a failure. on the scale of 9/11 in terms of

the failures of all the intelligence they had and something that's come up in the january 6 cases i've been covering. all the intelligence they had ahead of january 6. the way the committee is running around it and trying to write around it has been i think surprising. there is an ongoing inspector general report by the justice department, which is expected to get deeper into some of the issues. >> ryan reilly, thank you very much. joining us now is jeh johnson, former department of homeland security secretary during the obama administration, former general counsel for the department -- for the defense department in the earlier administration. no former u.s. president has been charged with a crime. it would seem likely that the justice department would want an airtight case. you are a former prosecutor. talk to me about what the stakes are. does this report jam them a little bit by being so high profile with so much information? it's not evidence but it's information. a lot of testimony.

does had a make it harder for them? >> without a doubt, the report puts political and public pressure on the department of justice to do something. in my view, what happened on january 6 was the very definition of an insurrection. and as the committee pointed out, inciting an insurrection, giving comfort to an insurrection is a criminal offense. what the department of justice is focused on and needs to be focused on can we prove these things against donald trump with admissible evidence. you need to prove criminal intent you need to prove what donald trump did, what he thought, what he said, what he heard, through firsthand admissible evidence. you can't prove a criminal case in federal court through excerpts of videos. criminal defendants have a right to cross examine their websites. so the department of justice,

i'm sure, gets the big picture of what happened here. but they need to be focused on how to prove a case and how to obtain a conviction through admissible evidence. >> does the fact that they agreed to are lease transcripts tomorrow, which some former prosecutors have told me is really troubling to doj, create more problems because witnesses, potential witnesses can compare notes, align their stories, and it headache it is that much harder. >> it makes the job more complicated. prosecutors like to have a monopoly over the evidence, the testimony, but it's been done before. we have had criminal prosecutions stemming from public proceedings, public hearings, so it's not impossible. >> give me your gut check in watching what was reported yesterday and what we know of the report itself from that executive summary. what kind of job did they do? and do you think a prosecutor is

going to be able to get the goods and would end up indict ing the president for one of these charges? >> that's a good question. i think it's in the national interest and it goes to the credibility of our law enforcement that doj not simply go for the easiest offense to prove, not simply hang their hat on what happened at martin bashir la go, it's in the national interest that we call this for what it is. this was an insurrection. and from what see, donald trump incited it. he gave aid and comfort to it. he lit the match. he watched it and he was the commander-in-chief. he had the aublt to call in the national guard to do something about this and was der elect in his failure to do so. so if there are to be criminal

charge, i hope it goes to the essence of what happened here. >> there has to be some accountability for something as unprecedented, grave and threatening to the constitution. >> absolutely. >> trying to upset the peaceful transition of power. if could um pose on you to turn to the board because of your vast experience at homeland, john roberts placed that temporary hold on the lower court ruling that could have ended title 42. so now that would have made it easier for the government to turn away people attempting to enter the country. senator romney just tweeted, the biden administration has dealt with the crisis at our southern border with raging incompetence. our overwhelmed border communities and country at large cannot afford their lack of attention.

title 42 must be kept many place to help stem the tide of ul legal immigration. >> i wish we had another 30 minutes. the problem is way bigger than what i dealt with when i was in office seven or eight years ago let's start with that. the reality, i learned, is that illegal immigration is an information sensitive phenomenon. it reare acts to changes in enforcement policy on our southern border. right now, the message is being sent by the u.s. government to central america and elsewhere is a jumbled mess. the courts have become way too involved in what has traditionally been a policy, a mission that the political branches perform. one day title 42 is on. the next day it's off.

one day migrant protection protocols are on, then they are off. daca is a jumbled mess. the courts have gotten too involved in this. long-term, we need congress to act. we need the executive branch to send a clear, coherent message. there's a right way and a wrong way to come here. you come here the wrong way, we'll send you back. kipt with our laws and our values. i used to say that all the time. >> you're right. we need another 30 minutes and we'll do that. thank you. thank you for everything you have done. and for your expertise. happy holidays to you and your family. >> same to you. that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." we'll be here tomorrow for two hours. follow the show online on facebook and on twitter. but before we go, we have to show you these incredible scenes in argentina today. this is the scene live as thousands of people filling the streets for several days now
