everything he wanted it to >> plus, we will take stack of the year that was in the unite states supreme court from th overturning of roe to th numerous ethical concern swelling around certai justices my question, what can we expec from the high court in 2023? and, later, ukrainian presiden volodymyr zelenskyy tell congress that his country is alive and kicking while urging lawmakers to approve more aid. my question is, what shoul u.s. support for ukraine looke like when a republican house takes over all of that and more is coming up, the katie phang show starts, right now.

it is no secret that legal trouble has followed donal trump for much of his adult an pet professional life. but, 2022 has been entirel something else for the forme president. his namesake company, the trum organization, was found guilty by a new york jury and a 1 year tax came to pay top executives off the books now order to avoid taxes the company faces roughly 1. million in fines with othe possible financial implication because of that verdict. and, although donald trump himself is not implicate directly in that case, trump the company and three have his adult children are implicate in a civil case that the new york attorney general letiti james brought this year. the attorney generals suit alleges the trump and th company committed alleged fraud, including undoing and over valuing assets in order to

receive better terms fro lenders and ensures. if the trumps were to lose thi civil suit they would face a steep list of penalties, including hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and bans from doing business in the state of new york. then, of course, there is no one, not two, but thre criminal investigations focuse on the former president. in fulton county, georgia, the attorney there is investigatin trump's attempts to overturn the states 2020 election results. after a recorded january 202 phone call where the on his wa out the door trump told th georgia secretary of state t find 11,780 votes, she has interviewed a number o individuals in trump's inner circle, including his lawyer rudy giuliani, who is actively pushing election conspiracie across the country, and was th face of trump's legal effort to overturn the 2020 election.

the fulton county case is on the state level, and i separate and apart from the tw federal criminal investigation now being overseen by specia counsel jack smith first up at that is th mar-a-lago documents case, i august the fbi executed search warrant of donald trump's mar-a-lago home an retrieve multiple boxes filled with classified and sensitiv documents that donald trump ha taken with him after leaving the white house. some of those document contained the highest markings of classification. special counsel smith and hi team are now investigating any improper handling and storag of those documents, as well as any possible obstruction b trump and his team smith is also heading th expansive investigation into the attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. in addition to what the do hasn't collected so far th investigation will also have access to the materials an evidence from the committee' investigation. this past week the house selec

committee investigating januar six rap this year and a half long investigation and referre criminal charges for donal trump and his closest allies t the doj. in their investigation the committee interviewed over 120 witnesses and reviewed hundred of thousands of pages of documents. punchbowl news was the first t report that the committee bega sharing that trove o information after the specia counsel sent a december 5t letter requesting materials. donald trump may be thinking that 2022 was the worst lega year in his life but, in a larger scheme it may just be the worst legal year i his life so far. joining me now, former u.s attorney and msnbc legal analyst joyce trans, and political investigations reporter for the guardian, hug lowell hugo and joyce, it would not b the end of the year for th katie phang show if we did not

have to have you here to b able to break down the lates and trump at all joyce, i would love to start with you they won six committee voted o criminal referrals for donal trump and a number of hi allies but, at the end of the day i will be merrick garland and hi special counsel who will decid to pursue indictments if at all. as a former prosecutor tal about how this committee's wor has assisted the doj i advancing the ball on thos indictments, especially when i comes to someone like donald trump. >> so, the house committee has played a very unusual role here it is almost always the case the doj is out in front of congress in these sorts of investigations doj has access to granbury subpoenas which ar enforceable. doj has access to a range of federal agencies, la enforcement agencies that ar skilled in conducting this work but, here for whatever reason, and it is never been quite

clear to me. for the first year that merric garland wasn't office there wa very little sign of activity i the justice department on this investigation and it was reall the house committees work earl on that shook everything liz now they have amassed an incredible body of information and evidence, includin transcripts from all of thes witnesses that will be ver helpful to doj as it moves forward. you know, katie, and you understand this from your work as well. the real issue here is what is the difference between what we can all judge with our commo sense at this point, tha donald trump was in the thic of things, and doj's need to prove that with evidence tha will stand up in court, that will be proof beyond a reasonable doubt doj will be coming through these materials from congres to see if they have additional information to what doj ha begun to compile and the las year, see if they can meet tha difference between what common sense now suggest very clearly

is true, and the need to b able to prove it so that i will hold up on appeal if ther are convictions. >> hugo, you know, we can no rate for ourselves transcripts of the committees interviews with several witnesses plenty of those witnesses pled the fifth, but the line of questioning from investigators is just as important, what insights did you take away fro the committee's questions that were posed to those witnesses? >> yes, i think that i absolutely right and if yo look at these transcripts a lo of at least the initial ones were people who were invokin the fifth that every question. but, if you look at the line o questioning from investigators especially from people on th team focused on the proud boys and the oath keepers and the extremist groups that storme the capitol you can really see where their investment interes is it is really about how thing were coordinated in the days leading up to january 6th, and

how these different groups wer intermingling. how they had connections a previous rallies and how a various points in th postelection period both the proud boys and the oath keeper seemed to have almost rehearsa events whether it was storming th georgia state capital or doing the million maga march, or whether it was having a protes at the supreme court reach before january 6th it is very clear from ho investigators approach the questioning of people like enrique tarrio, who was no actually in d.c. on january 6t but still had overall comman of the proud boys. it is very clear that they already have a lot o information and it was jus about trying to figure out where the pieces fit together. it is not clear that they were able to figure that out in the end but i think it gives the an excellent roadmap of trying to connect the probabl conspiracy that we now too place in the white house o trump trying to obstruct the certification and the physical coup element of that plan. >> you know, i know there ar

some things in the transcripts of cassidy hutchison hutchinson's interview tha particularly jumped out to you attention. what is in there that you thin the people should be focusin on especially from a crimina standpoint >> so, katie, i think this i some of the most shockin testimony that we have seen. we had some angling that thi was coming from comments tha were made during her testimony in front of the committee. but, now that way see it i it's full force it is clea that hutchinson was bein groomed to commit perjury when she testified to the committee they language her lawyer use is very careful. it is couched in terms of if you do not remember than you can say that you do no remember, but read it in context she is clearly being encouraged when she does, in fact remember to liberally refuse to recall testimony that would be contrary to trump's bes

interest and to mark meadows her boss's best interests. this raises a lot of questions perhaps more questions than we can answer, are any of these folks beyond hutchinso cooperating? is mark meadows, who is clearl implicated by her testimony no a cooperating witness with the government if that is the case that could be the break the doj has bee looking for. >> and, mark meadows we always know is so quiet he never really says anythin unless it is basically tryin to influence witness testimony he'll go, with such a huge emphasis in trump's role in th insurrection, in your opinio did the 16 committee do justic to its mission and a fac finding process regarding they law enforcement an institutional failures that le up to january 6th? >> look, it is very clear to the january six committee ha limited resources and they devoted the majority of thei

resources in trying to fin clear links between trump an what happened on january 6th especially on the politica level that is really where the focused their bandwidth. they had projected litigatio to try and get john eastman' emails, the conservative lawye who was involved in trying t pressure pence to decertify th election results in favor of trump. i think the byproduct of tha was the other teams did not ge as much time at energy, an effort as they might have liked. i think that goes to the question of the intelligence we know that there were becaus a lot of intelligence wa coming into the fbi, the washington office in the weeks before january 6th and they were not getting past the capitol police but, the team examining th intelligence failures really did not get that much after an resources of the committee t investigate that

and that is just how the investigation went i do not think it was a willfu decision to not investigate th fbi intelligence failures. i think this was potentially a byproduct of the investigation >> final question goes to, joyce, what do you expect from donald trump, legally, in th air ahead. both on the mar-a-lago documents case and the 1 investigation by the doj >> i understand how sony peopl are impatient with the crimina justice system, which seems to move very slowly that, i think where finally at tiktok for donald trump. finally they georgia distric attorney is wrapping up he appreciating, the mar-a-lago document situation where trump took classified materials with him is extremely serious and i is the simplest kind of case t make, it is not complicate like january 6th so, i think that is also a pressing consideration for the

former president whether or not he will ultimately be indicted by do for events around the big li and january 6th remains to b seen because it is difficult t put forward these kinds of cases. i know many people are expecting to see a prosecution i think we will have to let do collect its evidence that make a decision about whether trump has defenses or first amendmen assertions that would make i inappropriate for them t indict i expect we will see som movement there, as well. the remarkable thing about trump's situation is that ne information continues to com to light, increasingly for instance we learned this week again about potential tax issues, without th prosecutions in new york tha involve his company could also ultimately lead to some sort o personal tax liability so, lots of reasons we have to be concerned heading into 2023 >> the squiggly wheel of justice may have just gotten a wd-40 boost from the doj fro

six committee had one clea message about the former president actions that day >> in addition to bein unlawful as described in our reports, this was an utter moral failure, and a clear dereliction of duty. no man who would behave that way at that moment in time, ca ever serve any position of authority in our nation began. he is unfit for any office >> that is republica congresswoman liz cheney, th panels vice chair condemning donald trump during th committee's final public hearing. and, while the committees work will live on in the histor books, it is important t examine the role it has alread played just look at the 2022 midterms when voters pushed back agains the lies and the violent rhetoric that fueled january 6th. election deniers lost closel

watched contests in swin states and failed to gain ne ground in about 95% of statewide races according to one analysis the committee's primetim hearings attracting millions o americans and coordinating messaging, and highlighting th maga threat to democracy it undoubtedly helped democrat defy history in the midterms a point that should be noted when examining the committee's legacy, which will increasingl come into focus in the month and years to come. those looking for criminal justice will now find the ball in the doj's court, and thos looking for political reform have their hopes tied to a nearly divided congress. so, now that the committee has completed its investigation, one question looms large what is the lasting legacy o the house january 6th select committee? joining me now is capito police officer harry dunn. he is also the author of a new memoir, standing my ground a capitol police officer's fight

for accountability and goo trouble. harry, my friend, thank you fo coming back to the show. your testimony helped open the january six committee's public hearings way back in the summe of 2021. you have since become a fixtur in the audience at the publi hearings that followed now that it is over, what ar your general reflections of th committee's work over the last year and a half? >> hey, katie, good to tal with you again i am at this moment where i am a little perplexed about wha to expect, now we have always been waiting fo the january six committee to announce the next meeting, the next referral. but, now that it is over it is like now we are just waiting o the justice department to do their job. but, you also have now that th justice department does no need the referrals from th

january six committee to bring forth charges. so, while i really appreciat the january six committee' work for painting a clea picture about what happened to the american people mean, th justice department ultimatel has the authority to disrupt justice and accountability while the january ex committee i do not like to use the wor symbolic it was but it was necessary fo them to do their work, t expose the truth to th american people about what happened >> is there anything that yo ashley committee had don differently? >> that is a good question, no at faster i guess. that is about it i am really impressed with the way they handled this momentou task of telling the american people what happened the numerous times referred to

their quest to follow the fact and paint a picture of wha happened, that is all they did they told the american peopl what happened. on that day, and leading up to that day and, a lot of people that told the story where trum loyalists. it was not like a grandstandin event to push politics and partisanship it was just them telling a story. for them asking questions an the people involved telling th story of what happened >> for the last two years, harry, you have had to reliv january 6th over and ove again. not only through the course of your daily life but also as th january six committee' investigative work has unfolded as you said here, today, how are you left feeling havin gone through this entire experience thus far? >> you know, i am taking it al

in stride because on january 5th nobody knew who i was. nobody knew the capitol police existed, but now all of sudden we are thrust into this new spotlight. i am just rolling with the punches and figuring it out as i go i do want accountability and i do want justice. and, i want that that is what everybody i america should want. so, i am rolling with th punches. i am focused on my job so have a job to do i make sure that i do it every day to the best of my ability. that is, protect the members o congress that they represent people in the united states of america. >> you know, this whole process, and you know this better tha us, it has been a long and heavy lift well pendants and lega analysts will talk about the

evidence that was uncovered by the 16 committee, do you think average americans will be able to easily understand what th committee was trying t accomplish here? i think the committee did good job in their hearings a lot of people criticize them for being produced, like a, or whatever it was relayed-able, it didn't leave you with looming questions about how did they get to this conclusion o understanding. they literally laid the fact out in the individual's ow words. there may have been a few cu scenes or hot clips or whatever, hotcakes, but they wer directing straightforward abou what happened. if people are left confuse about it, i think it is thei choice that they might want to be confused about it

i believe it was ver straightforward about what happened >> terry, we talked a lot abou accountability on the kati thank joe. it's always something that you and i personally have talked about. for you, having gone through the last year and a half o this 16 committee journey, you book, talking abou accountability and good trouble. i asked you before when you ar on the show, what did justic and accountability look like t you. i'm going estes in questio again because when we initiall spoke, it was just a little bi into the work that was being done by the select committee now we sit here with the wor having being concluded what does justice an accountability look like you are you still waiting for that to come from the doj >> the doj is the ultimate authority on who could bring forth justice an accountability the 16 committee was ver necessary, it's a part o getting to justice justice isn't happen you have to work for and i

doesn't just happen. there is a process that need to be played out, the lega process. people are innocent unti proven guilty. it is necessary for them to do their work but the justice department has the ultimate authority, yes. all eyes are on them all eyes are on them from th start, at least for me from the very beginning becaus the justice department their job is to get justice fo victims and everybody in america was a victim that da and my coworkers and i wer victims that day the attack on democracy. >> you know harry, i think w often forget that you and your fellow officers that day wer victims of the insurrection on 16 you've done such a great job you did it that day and yo continue to do it. you defended america and moxie saying thank you was never

enough, but it's the least w can do happy holidays, thank yo capitol police officer harry dunn for being here. >> thanks, i appreciate it >> coming up, a deep dive into the supreme court. the year that was and what i to come for this 6 conservative super majority. later, a historic trip a ukrainian president volodymy zelenskyy meets with president joe biden and addresse congress at the u.s. capitol more on his message about wher the fight against russia stanc in just a few minutes. in just a few minutes.

so, what else could be next? perhaps the rights of same-sex couples? that is what is at stake wit the 303 -- it is the case of a weddin website designer who says sh doesn't want to have to make websites for same-sex couple due to her personal beliefs. but colorado state law prohibits businesses fro openly discriminating agains customers on the basis o personal characteristics that includes sexual orientation. owner lori smith and her company challenge the states law, claiming that it violates her first amendment rights soon, we could see this suprem court taking acts to stake laws that are designed t protect minorities and marginalized people in groups then there is more against harper a case that could decide how future elections are run north carolina republicans wan to impose a hyper partisan gerrymander at the state voting districts the map was even struck down b the state supreme court. so, gop legislators came u with a second map and asked th united states supreme court to review it, claiming that the

state legislature and only the state legislature has th authority to regulate federa elections. if the so-called doctrine is upheld by this right leading court, there is no telling wha havoc it could wreak on how ou elections are run. when it comes to the supreme court, it is not just importan to pay attention to what these conservatives say on the bench it is also important to pa attention to what they, and in some cases those close to them do off the bench like say, ginni thomas the wife of clarence thomas, a sitting supreme court justice. she said text like these two trump's former chief of staf mark meadows just two days before the 2020 election quote, biden crime family and ballot fraud coconspirators ar being arrested and detained fo ballots fraud right now in overcoming days. they will be living in barge off gitmo to face military tribunals for sedition and the day after the election

jim thomas sent mark meadows this text quote. do not concede, it takes tim for the army, who is gathering for his, donald trump's, back. let's not forget these email that were ordered to b released by a district court judge in california. they show trump's lawyer trying to come up with legal strategies to delay th certification of the 202 election writing quote, realistically our only chance to get a favorable judicial opinion b january 6th, which might hol up the georgia congress, i from justice thomas. so, we have jenny thomas's political activism around th 2020 election, not to mentio her husband clarence thoma being cited as the key to crack pot legal strategy t delay and prevent presiden biden from taking office meanwhile, we have allegations about another leak surrounding justice samuel alito a former antiabortion activist claims that back in 2014, alit

and his wife told conservative donor about the courts hobby lobby decision. that ruling allowed bosses t block their employees access t birth control. alito and his wife allegedly leaked the court's decisio before the actual ruling cam out to a donor at a dinner party. the donor denies the leak, alito has also denied th allegations. but as they say, the damage is already done to the court' credibility. so, my question, what else can we expect from this righ leaning court in 2023? well, we will dive into al this with mark joseph ster after a quick break. after a quick break.

the year that was in the supreme court and what t expect in the year ahead, it i senior writer for slate, mar joseph stern mark, it is a pleasure a always to have you on the show i want to start off first with your recent, very interestin article where you interviewe the chief judge of the 11t u.s. circuit court of appeals, bill pryor junior. now, he is a well-known member of the federal society in his speech at the federal society's convention last month, he not only quoted your articl about the organization, he als outright mocked you during his speech let's be clear, there were als for sitting supreme cour justices who attended that convention, including amy cohe

barrett who also made some sno comments about som demonstrators that were outsid our home exercising the firs amendment right to assemble an to free speech does this combination of thing intimate, if not outrigh declare that conservativ justices, including some federal appeals court justices are comfortable to say, i have a cozy connection with scotu and i'm darn right proud of it >> i think that is absolutel right. bill pryor himself appeared on donald trump's shortlist for the supreme court. he did not get the nod but he is a very powerfu judge. he clearly is aligned with the supreme court's current ultr conservative majority. what we've been seeing a lot o over the past few years is conservative judges like prior really helping to shape th supreme court's docket b elevating certain issues and certain bases involving guns abortion, religion, public square, a ministry of agencies

and shocking pop this. it forces the supreme court to take up these cases and shif the law to the right i do think it is important t view the entire federa judiciary, not just the suprem court as working together to shift the law in ways that would've seem truly unthinkabl just five or ten years ago >> i guess mark, we do have to get crowd credit where credi is due pryor was on the three judge panel on the 11th circuit, h did shut down the donald trump a special master fiasco. to the extent, following the law, it does still does exist. i did want to discuss with you some major issues that you end up before the supreme court, particularly the separation of church and state it always really does come u when you deal with allegedly conservative justices. do you think some of those tha are currently sitting on the highest court, they have jus been lying in wait for the opportunity to combine religio and the public sphere? how is that significantl

different from past cour opinions >> well, i don't know that the have been lying in wait so muc as awaiting their opportunit to move on some of these big issues for many years, sandra day o'connor and anthony kennedy kept the jurisprudence i check. both of them recognized that i violates the separation of church and state for these coercive, religious exercise to take place and especially i public schools where student are pressure to join in. they violate your freedom of conscience to be forced to giv your own taxpayer dollars to subsidize the exercise o religion those concerns have really flowed out the window over the last few years the supreme court very recentl forced taxpayers to begi subsidizing private religiou schools that openl discriminate against women against muslims, against lgbtq people, and also allowed schoo officials, including a footbal coach, to pray during school

among students in ways that ar a very coercive. it makes student feel like the will be outsiders an potentially discriminate against if they don't join in, even if they don't share those beliefs. that is the kind of thing that this court deemed atrocious an a clear violation of the first amendment for many decades in a course of just a fe months, the supreme court thre that all the window. >> i want to remind our viewers, and i know you agree, judges are supposed to leave thei biases and prejudices before they take the bench. they can live their live privately, but when they tak the bench, they're supposed to leave those otherwise aside. we are not really seeing that, especially when it comes to th separation of church and state from this current court. mark, i also wanted to get you take on ian mill heizer's piec that just came out at box. essentially, calling for justices sotomayor and taken t step down. now, joe biden has the opportunity to appoint muc younger justices to replac them this is given the politica

landscape in the years ahead i think it is a very hones conversation that people nee to be having but i did want to get your tak on eons argument >> it is an important argument that should be taken ver seriously. given the way that the senat is stacked against democrats it is very likely that the democrats will lose the senate in 2024. they may not regain it for years. they also may lose the presidency in 24, or 28. there is a real chance tha either justice kagan or justic sotomayor, or both, could step down or retire, or god forbid, passed away during that period we know republicans will never let a democratic president appoint another justice if the are in control the senate. that is made perfectly clear we know that republica presidents are extremely eager to appoint far-right justice who will shift the court eve further to the right if you ca imagine. one of the points that he an makes in this piece, that think is so important, is that honestly, brett kavanaugh an

amy coney barrett are two more moderate conservative judges i the federal judiciary today. the lower courts are stacked with bomb throwing radicals wh do not care about following la or president they are desperate to impose very conservative policy ideas into the constitution from the bench. if sotomayor were replaced by conservative, that make a huge difference as bad as things ar now. they would be so much worse. in ways that are sometimes difficult to imagine from here look, i love these justices, i think they're billing women wh add so much to the supreme court. but we should all be thinkin carefully about when the nex window will open for their retirement i think they should seriousl consider asking themselves, is it worth taking the risk o holding on when i could step down now and know that m replacement will be in lin with my own values >> mark, quickly, is there one case that is really in you brain and not getting out of

your brain that is gonna com up in 2023 that we need to b looking at >> absolutely, there is a case that is designed to destro labor unions even further in the court already has. for the first time, it wil allow a corporation an managers and employers to su unions for going on strike they will impose ruins fines and lawsuits on unions tha they're exercise their first amendment right to protest working conditions that would really stifle a hug amount of free speech and free association. it would further weaken unions political power and bargaining power. it is one of those cases tha seems to narrow -- it could have a trul devastating impact on organize labor in this country. >> mark joseph stern, the year that was 2022 certainly is boating something for 2023 for our scotus thank you for taking the tim to lend your insight and analysis as always, we appreciate you
