rosen as acting attorney general. >> paula reid joins us from washington.the pressure campaign was at any point successful? >> anderson, if the goal was to get the justice department to do the former president's bidding, then no. there is nothing in these emails to indicate that rosen actually opened the investigations that meadows was trying to push on him. but it's yet another example of how the former president thought the justice department worked for him. we know after this pressure campaign essentially failed, the president continued to push these baseless claims, which eventually helped inspire the january 6 insurrection. >> wasn't mark meadows supposed to be the adult in the room, wasn't he supposed to be the guy who had capitol hill experience and was coming to the white house to kind of -- i mean, have respect for institutions? it's kind of amazing that he was pushing this stuff. >> absolutely. having been at the white house at this time, anderson, i can tell you meadows had a lot of experience up on the hill, right? but there is no demonstrated r

rosen's deputy calls this insanity. rosen himself asks, can you believe this?says he is going to ignore white house's request. think about that moment on january 1st, rosen may have been one of the last remaining guardrails for our democracy. remember, as this is all unraveling, the white house isn't only pushing department of justice. no satisfaction on january 1st. what happens the next day? january 2nd, the infamous phone call with george george -- georgia's secretary of state. go find the votes. the secretary of state tells the president, we believe the data you have is wrong. he bluntly tells him this. now when you look back on that second day of the year, the georgia secretary of state may have been one of the last remaining guardrails for our democracy. january 3rd, this is the culmination of the stunning episode where trump purportedly tries to oust rosen since he won't do his bidding and install jeffrey clark. this was the lone doj official who had demonstrated a willingness to pursue trump's conspiracy theories. trump does stand down. why? because a g

rosen learned, quote, is working with rudy giuliani. mr. rosen said he refused the request. my question, is, one, katie reported there was a desire to remove mr. rosen and replace him with mr. clark. when you read what he wanted them to do, it casts all the great reporting about people who were spied on, including the chief witness to robert mueller, including adam schiff, the three news organizations, in a different light. >> it does, thank you, katie for your reporting. i think it's important for the american people to know the level of frenzy and desperation and control that the trump -- that president trump and his minions were trying to exercise over the department of justice. you have to look at all of this in 9 totality in terms of the president's behavior. none of that has changed. so this is why, i think, we could just sort of sweep this away, because if we don't know what really happened and the timeline for that, when i think all leads up to january 6th, then we are going to be in grate danger as attorney general shapiro pointed out, of something like this potenti

meadows sent these e-mails to rosen, shortly after rosen took over as acting attorney general, and around time, trump himself summoned rosen to the oval office and pressed him to support republican lawsuits that would have thrown out millions of lawful ballots, according to "the new york times." now, there is no indication whatsoever that rosen ever agreed to do anything that meadows asked of him. and rosen has publicly said that the election results in 2020 were legitimate. so here's the bottom line. these e-mails about mark meadows reveal new brazen attempts by the trump administration to lean on the doj and use the powers of federal law enforcement for trump's political and personal benefit. this really was something that was an all too common theme of president trump's four years in office. so what's next? "the new york times" reports that meadows, these e-mails from mark meadows were discovered by congressional investigators who are looking into whether anyone at the doj helped trump undermine the election. democrats in the house and the senate are still examining this matter and the

even you pointed out about rosen. okay, there are a lot of things one could criticize and not standing up. it is important to note it. thank you very much, elie, i appreciate it. >>> senator manchin opposed the voting rights bill. could he change his mind and vote forward of crucial changes. >>> southern baptist elected a new president, the face of qanon. >> i started thinking and i quoted even trump above god. >> the new head of the southern baptist church convention. stay restless, with the icon that does the same. the rx crafted by lexus. get 1.9% apr financing on the 2021 rx 350. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. it's all coming together. and teachers and school staff have worked hard to get us here. on the 2021 rx 350. securing federal funding, vaccines and making sure public schools are welcoming and safe for everyone. this fall, it's back to school. five days a week. we're excited to be with our students in person. as a parent, i had concerns, but with safeguards in place, i'm ready now. let's do this! w

rosen forwarded that to his deputy who replied, quote, and i would say accurately, pure insanity. rosen wrote back, quote, yes, after this message i was asked to have fbi meet with brad johnson, that would be a man pushing this conspiracy. i responded that johnson could call or walk into fbi's washington field office with any evidence he purports to have. on a follow-up call i learned that johnson is working with rudy giuliani, who regarded my comments as an insult. asked if i would reconsider, i flatly refused, said i would not be giving any special treatment to giuliani or any of his, quote unquote, witnesses and reaffirmed again i will not talk to giuliani about any of this. so when you read these emails, and there's a bunch of them, okay, they bring i would say additional clarity to what was already pretty clear. i mean we watched it happen, right? donald trump and his allies, people like mark meadows, for example, again, mark meadows, right? tried to overturn the election. they did everything in their power and they failed because of how clumsy and vulgar and plotting the ent

jeffrey rosen argued his case.ooler, more legally sound minds won and so afterward, after that meeting, they were worried would be extraordinarily consequential, there was a conference call and jeffrey rosen and others within the justice department breathed a sigh of relief. then another says in an email it appears that the cause of justice -- sorry that full screen is far for me. it sounds like rosen and the cause of justice won. so again this big sigh of relief within the justice department. we're talking about three days before the riot and what it shows is evolution within the justice department people are growing more and more frustrated by this relentless pressure but in the end they didn't break, brianna. >> i like that you said that full screen was far away. i thought it was the only one that it was very far away. this is incredibly bizarre attempt at an end run around the normal process, right? >> absolutely. one of the things that we saw in this, 230 pages of documents, is a private attorney going to the

jeffrey rosen. be more tope the claims and manipulate him into carrying out possibly overturning the election through the department of justice. so that all happening on december 14th. a couple of weeks later, the white house again pressures doj to file a supreme court lawsuit to nullify the 2020 election. so this happens, poppy, through a white house assistant as well as a private attorney who reaches out to doj and says i've got this draft lawsuit. you could just file this with the supreme court and we would be all set. the president asked me to send this to you. so he was trying to use the president's power through this to try to convince the people he was talking to to actually carry out the president's wishes. this happened multiple times, poppy, december 31st the president meets with jeffrey rosen and other doj officials. on january 1st, chief of staff mark meadows emails then-acting attorney general jeffrey rosen three times to try to convince him to look into these election fraud claims. it

donald trump had an assistant email jeffrey rosen baseless claims of voter fraud in michigan that had already been thrown out of court by a judge. and two weeks later, donald trump had an assisted email a draft brief for the justice department to file in the supreme court that would ask to nullify election results in six swing states that joe biden won. that brief was virtually identical to the insane lawsuit filed by texas attorney general ken paxton that was rejected by the supreme court already. active attorney general rosen refused that particular piece of insanity and all of the insanity which would've been thrown out by the supreme court even if the justice department did file. emails also revealed that donald trump's chief of staff, mark meadows, -- on at least five occasions to pursue what one of them called pure insanity. in one email, mark meadows sent jeffrey rosen iq to video length about an italian contractor using satellites to interfere with u.s. voting machines. jeffrey rosen, forwarded the email to acting deputy attorney general richard donahue who responded, quote, p

jeffrey rosen forwarded this email to richard donahue, saying, quote, can you believe this? i am not going to respond to the message below. jeffery clark, who was then the acting head of the civil division of the justice department, had no conceivable jurisdiction over voting issues in georgia, but as we discovered in january, jeffery clark was in secret communication with the trump white house, encouraging what the acting attorney general called pure insanity and was actually expecting donald trump to remove the acting attorney general and give him the job of acting attorney general. put clark in there as acting attorney general. republicans are very disappointed that all of that pure insanity did not work and the real winner of the presidential election was inaugurated as the 46th president of the united states. and so, republicans and state legislatures are doing everything they can to put pure insanity into election law so that it will work exactly the way they want it to work next time. republicans in several states are making it as difficult as possible to vote in the

rosen memorialize what mr. >> we've been told that the justice department is being cooperative in terms of handing over records, but in terms of the emails, for example, between meadows and rosen and rosen and his deputy, rich donahue, they're very terse. there's not a lot of detail. rosen does not give anything away. he doesn't say these things are insane or i'll get on it. he's trying to be as neutral as possible. all of the investigators are trying right now to interview mr. rosen and get more information out of him and this is where the current justice department under merrick garland becomes very, very important. it is up to them to determine how much cooperation jeff rosen can give with the investigators because he's going to be talking about justice department equities. he's going to be talking about things that pertain possibly to the january 6th investigations and he's going to be talking about things possibly that pertain to executive privilege. so, it's going to be up to merrick garland and his teams

rosen refused that meeting. meadows even sent rosen a youtube clip about those satellites.al, who called it, quote, pure insanity. so, let's bring in texas congresswoman sheila jackson lee. she joins us now. she's a member of the house judiciary committee. congresswoman, thank you very much for being here. according to these emails, president trump and his chief of staff, mark meadows, were relentless in their efforts to try to get the acting attorney general to take up these conspiracy theories and these fictitious claims of voter fraud. what can -- now that this information has just been released, what can congress do about this now? >> well, thank you so much, again, it's good to be with you. that is why the house judiciary committee and the senate judiciary committee have announced a formal investigation. i want the american people to know how seriously we take this, because in actuality, the trump administration, his doj, both under sessions and barr, and then, of course, you just said the acting attorney general rosen, really, under the pretext of a criminal investiga

rosen rejected the effort. i flatly refused, said i would not be giving special treatment to giuliani and his witnesses and reaffirmed that i will not talk to giuliani about any of this. when meadows sent rosen a youtube link about the italian satellite conspiracy rosen forwarded to his deputy who bonded with the words "pure insanity." they also showed meadow pushed doj to investigate fraud claims by the lawyer on the call with trump on january 2nd when he pressured georgia officials to find him votes. >> so, look, all i want to do is this, i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. >> reporter: one day before that call meadows emailed rosen saying there were allegations of signature match anomalies. in fulton county georgia. asking justice officials to investigate. rosen forwarded the email to con shoe and said can you believe this? i am not going to respond to the message below. it wasn't just meadows. the email showed trump's assistant sent a document claiming

deputy attorney general rosen. he wanted him to investigate the craziest of the crazy conspiracy theories. that is speculation. unnamed sources i bet. wrong. there is no more need for media half stepping on this story. we now have the receipts. e-mails that show how trump, his white house and allies pressured the justice department to take up his stolen election bs. and here they are. look at this. december 14, 4:57 p.m. for context december 14 was the day state certified the electoral college votes sealing trumps defeat. what was of the creator of the big lie doing as the reality was confirmed? lying. a message from trump's substantiate with the subject line from potus. including talking points about a quote cover up of voting crimes. how machines were compromised and secretary lied. all this in michigan. where trump lost. dozens of bullet points of conjecture. unverified accounts and absolute fiction. including points and counter points to be made. this was an obvious political argument device. that's okay. unles

if we have to subpoena jeffrey rosen, we will subpoena jeffrey rosen. it's that simple. as american citizens if you are called by your country to come before the legislative branch and to enlighten them on what was going on, you have the responsibility to do it. >> yeah. all right. let's turn to voting rights now. democratic senator joe manchin's compromised for a voting rights package. stacey abrams has endorsed it but mitch mcconnell says no republican will vote for it. if that stands, what is it going to take to try to bridge this divide? >> i think we just got a poll some threads from republican members, are they unwilling to create a national holiday for election day? are they unwilling to have 15 days early voting? maybe they can't embrace the entire package. but let's pull out elements of it that clearly are enhancements to the voting process so that every american has the opportunity to cast their ballot. i was pleased to see the willingness to not necessarily require a birth sfirkt but in fact have a utility bill to establish that you are a resident in that part

two people familiar with the matter said that rosen was hopeful that the u.s. attorney could convince clark that there was no widespread fraud in georgia. after giving clark the u.s. attorney's phone number, rosen circled back the next day, asking clark in an email, were you able to follow up? in a meeting at the white house two days later, january 3rd, president trump complained that he wanted to fire the georgia u.s. attorney, who he felt was not doing enough to uncover fraud in georgia. the people said participants in the meeting told the president that he intended to leave anyway, that he need not take the step of firing him. just after 10:00 p.m. that night, an email shows a senior justice department official, richard donagueh, emailed him, writing please call asap. two people familiar with the he matter said it was conveyed what the meeting said about him. he stepped down, and was replaced by a new u.s. attorney, a man named bobby christine, who trump viewed as more amenable to his voter fraud claims. this is the fullest accounting we've yet had of that i

the emails were sent to top doj officials working under incoming acting attorney general jeffrey rosen. pressuring the justice department to join the legal fight to challenge the election result on trump's behalf. the emails raise claims about election fraud in michigan that a federal judge had already dismissed. and they question pandemic voting accommodations in key battleground states. the emails did not come directly from trump, because as we know, trump acts like a mob boss. he doesn't give orders. he speaks in code. and he certainly doesn't leave a paper trail. which is why a white house assistant emailed rosen with a draft legal brief that trump wanted them to file with the supreme court. while then chief of staff mark meadows on january 1st sent rosen a youtube video link about a conspiracy theory involving people in italy supposedly manipulating u.s. votes through satellites. rosen forwarded that email to then acting attorney general, richard donahue, who responded, quote, pure insanity. none of this should surprise you. we saw with our own eyeballs the ways trump tried to upe

remember who was the attorney general at the time when barr said, when rosen said, there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the court of law, in the different courts, almost 60 of them, i believe, don. there was no evidence to support this or back it up. so they were hoping to have and rely on the credibility that was part of the department of justice to go into a court and have that rapport with the federal judge to say here, this is what i'd like you to look at with prosecutors. they needed to try to rely and capitalize on that credibility when there was no "there" there. >> this is kind of a side note but is this a window into how donald trump possibly ran his business with -- because he was very letigious. and also just as he gave legitimacy to conspiracy theorists and bigots, has he given legitimacy basically to ambulance chasers? >> well, he certainly has in over 60 different court proceedings to essentially say, i'd like you to go out there and just throw something against a wall and see if it sticks. i'd like you to be able to co-sign a fishing expedition in an absolute deser

the acting attorney general at the time jeffrey rosen was then asked to meet with giuliani. and it is clear he knew this was all garbage, and also that we might be reading these emails some day, because he responded in this way. he said i flatly refused. i said i would not be giving any special treatment to giuliani or any of his witnesses, rosen putting the word "witnesses" in quotes. reaffirming he wouldn't talk to rudy giuliani and telling an aids the allegation is pure insanityty. also in quotes. pure insanity. today cnn caught up with meadows and asked him for explanation. he declined to give one saying only i'm not going comment on anything that may or may not have happened. gaslighting. we have the documents. what is this we may or may not, it may or may not have happened. that's not all that we found out today about the attacks on democracy, about the calls from inside the house where at a hearing into the january 6th insurrection, we learned various law enforcement agencies including capitol police and the washington metropolitan police requested help from the d.c.

michael rosen, welcome to hardtalk.e you, not least because i'm very well aware that not so very long ago, jim went through a ghastly, near death experience thanks to covid—19. it clearly has not sapped your creative juices, but i wonder why you would want to revisit that dark period by writing about it? i to revisit that dark period by writing about it?— writing about it? i think it is a matter— writing about it? i think it is a matter of— writing about it? i think it is a matter of compulsion. - writing about it? i think it is - a matter of compulsion. anyone in the arts, you will find that whatever medium you work in, you will need to express yourself through it and so, if i were a painter or a dancer and musician, maybe i would've expressed my feelings about what happened through those media but because i'm a writer, i found that after i came out of hospital, after three months in hospital and a couple weeks before that, being very ill, the first thing i wanted to do was put some words down on the page. one word aft

>> thank you, senator rosen. as your neighbor in utah i'm very familiar with the demographics you described which are very similar. as they are for you in nevada. and also the very rural nature of our two states. you've raised a very important aspect of need for research to expand to these areas. i mentioned earlier response to senator warren, i'm sorry, to senator collins, with the support for the geriatric workforce enhancement programs. one of the things we've been funded to do is to reach out across the state and provide education and support for staff in long-term care settings across the state of utah. this includes an outreach to the tribal nations in utah. there's seven tribes in utah and an outreach to native americans and addressing health disparities and their risk for cognitive impairment andtr dementia. the other thing i brought earlier is one of the unintended consequences of benefit of covid is our ability to deliver telehealth resources to rural areas has really stepped up in the last year and ope

rosen wants to make sure that's the case.says he was there in the hours after the vita shooting when the victim's families were notified. i heard the cries and the screams and i saw people throwing up. and those are images that i will never forget. and he says, while cassidy alone is to blame for this tragedy, it's time officials asked themselves some hard questions. what could we have done differently? and better to prevent this. what can we do? going forward to minimize the chance of this happening again? customs and border protection did not respond to our request for comment. rosen expects he'll be getting a copy of that 2016 report in the coming days and ruben ktvu fox two news. a man has been arrested in connection to a deadly shooting in san francisco's polk gulch neighborhood. this happened on may, 8th on first street and bush now, san francisco police say that's where officers found 25 year old robert mena gallardo on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound. police say they tried to help him, but he was pronounced dead whe

the times report that rosen never agreed to open investigations and people close to rosen say he in facts disgusting to see an attempt to abuse it in this way. first and foremost, what i see here is a violation of the policy about communication between the white house and the justice department for this very reason. there is a very strict rule about the channel of communication between the white house and the department of justice to avoid either the reality or appearance of partisan politics motivating an investigation. so that's the first problem. but only overshadowed by the second problem, which is the substance of it. to ask for there to be an investigation into something that someone knows is baseless is an abuse of the machinery of the justice department. it is appropriate that jeffrey rosen declined to pursue this because investigations need a factual predication before the levers of the justice department can be used. and that is to protect people from the use of the justice department for partisan political advantage. it has to be based on real crimes. >> so let's talk about an

we will turn to senator rosen. sen. rosen: that is the challenge of zooming in. we are all running back and forth, so thank you. this is really a really important hearing. my mother-in-law was on the alzheimer's spectrum before she passed, and i know firsthand how important everything -- all the work that is going on here and the caregiving that it takes and what it feels like to be a family member going through this and so, currently, one in nine nevadans earlier -- older than 65 live with alzheimer's disease and it has the third fastest growing dementia population in the united states, so to respond to the challenges that alzheimer's disease is imposing on our state and all around the country, nevada's universities and research partners have stepped up in a big way. for example, the center for transformative neuroscience since we received a $3 million grant from the national institute on aging, which will help them publish their annual review of alzheimer's medications in the development stage. additionally, the center for brain health in las vegas also receive

santa clara county district attorney jeff rosen is taking action to prevent the possibility of another is not about blame because the ultimate responsibility for the mass shooting is sam cassidy's. what i'm doing is trying to prevent the next said and cassidy from committing another mass murder. >> has made kron 4 news in honor of pride month. city officials and lgbtq representatives raise the 1978 rainbow flag this afternoon. the flag was made by gilbert baker who worked closely with harvey milk milk. of course, the first openly person to hold high public office in an american city baker died. the original fabrics himself and with the help of volunteers stitch together 8 strips of brilliant color into a huge better. each color had a meeting hot pink standing for sexuality, red for life orange for healing yellow representing son, green nature turquoise for art indigo for harmony and violet for spirit gilbert baker passed away in 2017. if you have your phone handy, another qr code here. this will take you to kron 4 dot com where you can see the entire interview with the lyric youth cent

we have been told by jeff rosen that certainly did not open any of these investigations. the white house was pressuring the justice department to give credence lend credibility to these conspiracy theory as the president was looking for a way to retain power. >> is this one of the reasons that bill barr checked out early or he was receiving this kind of pressure? >> we have reporting that barr knew that even after the justice department told the white house that it had investigated fraud and not found enough fraud to change the outlook of the election that the pressure was not going to led up. we reported that's one of the reasons why he did not want to leave. once you feel like you can no longer have an impact and nobody is going to listen to you, it does seem like a moment for some to go. we notice that the minute barr was going to announce and rosen took over, he was called to the white house where trump did pressure him to indeed open in investigations into alleged voter fraud. >> are there any potential consequences for meadows doing this? i know there are a couple o

two people familiar with the matter said that rosen was hopeful that the u.s. attorney could convince clark that there was no widespread fraud there. he circled back the next day, were you able to follow up? in a meeting at the white house two days later, january 3rd, president trump complained that he wanted to fire the georgia u.s. attorney, who he felt was not doing enough to uncover fraud in georgia. the people said participants in the meeting said that he intended to leave anyway. and richard donague emailed him, writing please call asap. two people familiar with the matter said it was conveyed what the meeting said about him. he stepped down, and was replaced by a new u.s. attorney, a man named bobby christine, who trump viewed as more amenable to his voter fraud claims. the president pushing these bogus election fraud claims in georgia because he doesn't want to have lost georgia. he's threatening georgia officials, we now know, telling them they need to find enough votes to declare him the winner. he's got a guy he's trying to install as the new attorne

. >> santa clara county district attorney jeff rosen says it would have been useful to at least have been contacted about the basics. why was mister cassidy stop? what was the reason for that. what was found. >> and then why did she share that with. >> local police. the da says what concerns him most is what was reportedly in cassidy's possession when he was detained look, i i'm concerned about an individual who has of books about terrorism. >> is so angry at their co-workers that they're writing it down, not typing that. but taking a pen to paper and writing down how angry they are now. that's not a crime. that's not a crime to do those but it's certainly something that for a d a for a police chief would be of interest. this information comes to light in the wake of learning that law enforcement found an arsenal of weapons and ammunition in cassidy's home. >> weapons. he may not have legally been able to obtain it settles. a police were given a heads up from the feds about him being stopped in 2016. one thing i can say is. >>hhad certain information been shared with local law enforc

show the chief of staff to the president meadows trying to get the acting attorney general jeffrey rosening to interfere with our elections and they were trying to gin up the states. and the hal load justice department, you know, side with these cuckoo trump theories. and that just illustrates what these folks are all about. they're not about respect for institutions and they did not give one whip about what that would do to politicize the justice department and fortunately the acting attorney general jeffrey rosen appears to have done the right thing and refused all this, but that's got to be the subject of congressional hearings and jeffrey rosen's got to testify and he's got to tell everyone what he knows and this is benghazi times a million and we had so many hearings about that, we need a hearing about this. >> yeah, and it gives context to what was going on with january 6th because it shows how behind the scenes in secret these were real effort and these were not to save face and email fund-raising and this was in their minds, deadly serious. neil, the trump organization probe has

it's after that meeting that you see rosen's deputy e-mail bj pack. a few minutes after the entire justice department debriefed op what happened in the meeting. president obsession with georgia is known. the fact something is going to probably happen to bj pack or mentioned. is known. and that point that the number two official calls pack. and you can assume he likely explains to him what has just transpired in the meeting. and president trump's obsession with georgia. and he presents him with a a couple options. if you are bj pack i don't know what you would do. i don't know for sure what i would do. i will say one option being to quietly leave before i'm tweeted about and my reputation is destroyed. by president trump. doesn't sound like the worst option in the world. you can say that this is still completely inappropriate and undue pressure that option was on the table. that's interesting about the timing. it happens after the long meeting where you see every official at the top resign in protest. because of what the president intends to do or want
