senator richard blumenthal says trump's conduct was tantamount to a coup attempt and involves criminalabout potential false statements, obstruction of justice, attempts to impede the lawful activities of the united states. what donald trump did here in effect was try to overthrow the election and there are all kinds of potential criminal charges because asking the department of justice to call an election corrupt falsely is potentially a criminal violation. >> with me to share the reporting and their insights, kaitlyn collins, our chief white house correspondent, stef herndon, heather cagle and tarini. elie honig is also back with me. i want to start with the point senator blumenthal was making. we can put up on the screen, jeffrey rosen, richard donahue was his acting attorney general. jeffrey clark, the lawyer who was apparently willing to do his bidding. is there criminal activity here? as congress looks into this, do you see the potential for either the former president or those around him trying to help him, do they have criminal ku culpability? >> i fall on senator blumenthal's s

senator richard blumenthal sits on that committee and here's what he told msnbc. >> let me be very blunt. the president of the united states, then donald trump, mounted a pressure campaign that was absolutely relentless, brutal, personally involved, directly aimed at the department of justice, seeking to break it and weapon it to overthrow the election. i want to put aside talking about specific individuals, but i will say as a former united states attorney and a state attorney general for 20 years there's a real potential here for criminal charges. they should be seriously considered. >> and meanwhile a growing chorus of on-the-ground reporters and writers and scholars began sounding the alarm about 2024. their message? if present trends continue and if nothing is done, the next presidential election could be stolen, legally stolen. these are not the cries of extremely online provocateurs. they are fact-based warnings about what is actually happening right now in states across this country. the scenario these experts warn of isn't one of guns and tanks and the seizure of tv stations and

in a statement today, senator richard blumenthal said spirits fiasco illustrates the urgent need forer consumer rights for air passengers. when airlines are at fault for delays and cancellations, passengers should have their flights swiftly rebooked and tickets refunded. already hope you had a nice weekend out there. the weather pretty much cooperated. we did have a lot of unsightly smoke. it wasn't super unhealthy because it was at the higher levels above 3000 ft, so we weren't necessarily breathing it, but it was around the smoke has left pretty much today. and for the next few days, we've got a nice clear pattern. these were the high temperatures that we got today. some places were a little warmer. some places a little cooler temperatures the next few days are going to trend up so temperatures are going to be warmer each day, and you'll see that in the five day forecast, the trend is here. let me put the line in for you and you know what's going to look like? it's kind of the roller coaster thing we do, and it basically just starts working its way up. does it get real hot red flag

according to richard blumenthal who appeared on msnbc a short time ago. >> the president of the united states then donald trump mounted a pressure campaign that was absolutely relentless, brutal, personally involved directly aimed at the department of justice seeking to break it and weaponize it so overthrow the election. >> our first get ben ray lujan. thank you for being with us. we'll start with infrastructure. your colleague senator hagerity of tennessee pushing what he called a robust debate. do you think this will have any effect on the timetable we're looking at here? >> well, good to be with you tonight. and with the work that we are doing in the united states senate, to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill, the question is will we pass it tonight, tomorrow, or tuesday. there is no question that this piece of legislation will be passed. it will be sent to the house. and once the house comes together to take action it will be sent to the president to be signed. so i understand what some of think colleagues may think they're doing here, but there is no question that this bill wi

richard blumenthal sat in on this testimony and said the american people should hear what he heard. >> they deserve to know what we have heard so far. which amounts to a chilling and shocking picture of a president seeking to corrupt the department of justice and overthrow an election. >> yet today, eight months later, donald trump and jeffrey clark, the guy who tried to overturn the election, they are not behind bars. they're not facing any criminal charges. they're not even considered pariahs. clark just landed a cushy job at the right wing civil liberties alliance, suing universities and trying to get the eviction moritorium lifted. again, i ask why hasn't the justice department gone after clark or trump? we already have so much evidence that the then president incited the insurrection and called in during the attack, begging him to call off the dogs. this is how jamie raskin summed it up. >> the president said, well, kevin, i guess these people, meaning the mobsters, are more upset about the election than you are. that conduct is object part and parcel of the constitutional offens

democratic senator richard blumenthal of connecticut set in on this testimony, before the senate judiciary committee, and said the american people should hear what he heard. >> they deserve to know, what we have heard so far. which amounts to, a chilling, and shocking, picture of a president, seeking to corrupt the department of justice. and overthrow an election. >> yet today, eight months later, donald trump, and jeffrey clark, the guy who tried to overturn the election, they are not behind bars, they are not facing any criminal charges, they're not even considered pariahs. clark just landed a cushy job at the right wing news civil liberties alliance. suing universities for vaccine mandates, and trying to get the eviction moratorium lifted. so again, i ask, why hasn't the justice department got after clark or more importantly trump? we already have so much evidence that the then president incited the january 6th insurrection. we know that house republican leader kevin mccarthy called trump in the middle of the attack, on the capital, begging him to call off the dogs. this is our lead imp

senator richard blumenthal didn't mince words when he heard the testimony, he said this is importantthere are major implications not only for former president trump but for other people involved. what are you try to go in terms of something that would define a criminal act that could lead to charges here? >> so senator blumenthal is dead on the money here in his comments, lindsey. he said something that really struck me. he characterized the former president's conduct this way. he said that trump tried to break the justice department. and that sort of conduct gives rise to a reasonable suspicion to believe that a crime has been committed. my belief is that doj should be investigating that conduct for criminality. it is, for instance, illegal to try to coerce government employees into political action. it seems to me that trying to coerce a government employee into helping you overturn a lawful election would fully qualify under that statute. so it's easy to be an armchair prosecutor. doj should be investigating these sorts of potential crimes, whether it's conspiracy, coercion, or a

bottom line, apple is facing criticism, senator richard blumenthal saying in response to this news, today'she momentum and further exposes rampant anti-competitive abuses in the app markets. however, apple can now say it has reached a deal with its community of smaller developers. in other words, it reached a deal here with 99% of developers that actually pay apple a commission it's only the big companies now. so apple's going to argue the epics and spotifys of the world that still aren't happy. back to you all. >> fascinating development we'll watch it not moving the stock a lot, but interesting policy change over at apple. thanks. >>> still to come, the fed chair and his remarks to the jackson hole virtual symposium set to begin in just about 15 minutes we're going to watch that as we go to break, obviously, a lot of attention on treasuries today as we got the personal income and spending data. intending 3/10 prior 11, which means the delta variant really did slow down the consumer even as pce deflator is at a 30-year high back in a moment - i didn't realize you have to have a prescriptio

richard donahue also testified. those are two key people that had contact with the white house and other officials during that key period of time. really senator blumenthale of the senators on the judiciary committee part of that behind closed doors testimony telling us just last hour exactly what his takeaways were from that conversation. they're stunning. listen. >> the president of the united states, then donald trump, mounted a pressure campaign that was absolutely relentless, brutal, personally involved, directly aimed at the department of justice. we men to break it and weaponize it to overthrow the election. >> reporter: what you and i have followed is the things the former president and his allies were saying publicly, but what's really stunning is over the course of last few weeks, we've learned from people like donahue who took handwritten notes of conversations he had with the former president. donahue is one of the people talking to the committee, allegedly he rod trump just said the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and congressional allies. it's clear from hearing from these lawmakers they're not letting up. chairman durbin said

blumenthal: thank you, madam president. before i begin the remarks that brought me here today, i want to say a word about richard trumka, a hero to all of us who care about working people and a good friend to many of us. i'm proud to call him a friend. and proud to have been with him as an ally in causes and principles that are so important to the present of america and the future of america. i'm proud to have been with him on picket line and platform, to have stood with him and behind him in supporting the rights of working men and women to decent pay, fair treatment, and safety on the job. he came from america and he never forgot where he came from. his life is a lesson to so many of us who seek to emulate his devotion to the public interest. and as a leader of the labor movement, his life always -- also reminds us that unions count, that collective bargaining means something, that rights of working men and women succeed because they come together in unions and we ought to respect those unions, listen to them and champion their right to represent fairly and freely and to organize men and women on their jobs. so we will miss
