>> and so jeffrey clark is using that to say, i cannot be prosecuted, right? he's currently under state level indictment in georgia and in arizona, and also jeffrey clark's using that to fight back against efforts to remove his bar license. he's saying, hey, supreme court just said dealings between donald trump and doj. that's me, jeffrey clark. those are off the table criminally, but there is a fair question. it's clear that immunity is intended to benefit and protect the president. it's not entirely clear that it's intended and it to be a windfall for the other guy in the conversation that's one of the things we'll learn in jeopardy or jeffrey clark, jack smith could argue with mark meadows, in particular, the white house chief-of-staff also plays a campaign role, right? and suggested there was some georgia interaction that was campaign-related. their yeah, that's the key dividing line was the conduct and official black or was it a private slash campaign act? >> and it goes out, it was way jack smith and the new indictment to say everything that happened was

now, jeffrey clark he is relief. is that he's cut out of the federal indictment related to donald trump and his attorneys are trying to use that in other things where he's trying to keep his bar their license, and then mark meadows, the former chief of staff he's cut back in the indictment, there were a lot of things that he had been privy to in the version of the charges against donald trump before. now, he's just an a small part of it, what his attorneys are saying in his state case in arizona to court hearing coming up on thursday related to that. they're writing to the court that it wasn't an alleged criminal act by meadows as chief of staff, he was carrying out his official duties even if the president was engaged in official activity, and so his attorneys are making this bid that that bubble of official duties around donald trump that should extend to mark meadows, his chief of staff. and when jack smith even rewrote that indictment last week against trump, it phrased what mark meadows was doing a little bit di

pressure culminated in his attempted coup after the 2020 election, when trump was trying to name jeffrey clarkd-level doj lawyer as a temporary attorney general so that clark could use the department's good name and stationary to send out a letter saying, the election was rigged, and get state legislatures to just overturn the election. now, compare that to the biden doj under attorney general mary garland. the department of justice has bent over backwards to be independent of the white house, and partisan political concerns. they appointed a special counsel , a republican and a trump appointee, to investigate the sitting president handling of classified documents, they prosecuted a string of high- profile democratic officials and family members on a variety of charges. >> today, i am announcing my office has obtained a three count indictment charging senator robert menendez. >> nbc has learned the department of justice is expected to announce an indictment against long-term democratic congressman henry cuellar of texas. >> we are announcing campaign- finance, bribery, and conspiracy charges a

jeffrey clark who propose to take over the justice department and use it to bolster trumps accounts and who ended up having his house rated for election interference while he stood in his driveway in his underwear. all those people in power trump and worked to facilitate an attempted coup, even while other people in the white house like trying to own white house counsel tried to stop them. >> i opened the door and i walked in, i thought general phlegm, i thought sidney powell sitting there. i was not happy to see the people in the oval office. again, i don't think they are providing -- first of all, the overstock person, i have never met. i don't know who this guy was. the first thing i did, i walked in, i look at him and i said, who are you? and he told me. i don't think any of these people were providing the president with good advice and so i think, i didn't understand how they had gotten in. >> i will tell you, the president of the united states invited them in. he wanted overstock.com guy right there. there was a reason that donald trump cleaved to the most whacked out power- hungr

s officials jeffrey clark is criminally indicted co-conspirator and codefendant work together withteonald trup for trying to subvert the 2020 presidential election the state ofof georgia. i think back to donald trump after being told by his d.o.j. officials there is no systemic fraud undermining the results of the 2025 presidential election. telling the same officials just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me. the republican congressman that's a quote from a donald trump department of justice official. thank goodness there were some d.o.j. officials who thwarted donald trump's efforts in that regard. officialsth who remain loyal to the constitution rather than loyal to a man who was determined to retain the power the presidency by disregarding the expressed will of the american voters. these honorable public servants would not exist in a future trump administration that implements thee rule of law busting principles of a project 2025. i fearedbl that horrific conduct of former president donald trump is corrupted d.o.j. officials in his first term will look like a gov

trump try to install jeffrey clark as attorney general because he acknowledged to the president that he would do his bidding and fraudulently tried to help him overturn the election. but this is the one that really, really gets to the nub of this. and, mr. leavitt, we are talking about first amendment and infringement on first amendment rights that you are alleging has happened to these fbi agents. you would agree, would you not, that writing a book is protected speech under the first amendment? >> sure. >> so let me give you a hypothetical scenario. somebody pleads guilty to a crime. he is sentenced and designated to serve his sentence at home. he is asked by the department of justice to sign an agreement saying that he would not write a book. he refuses to do that. as a result of his refusal, the department of justice throws him back into jail. in solitary confinement. is that in your mind the weaponization of the department of justice to infringe upon first amendment right? >> i am not a first amendment lawyer. >> you said this is all about first amendment infringement. why you're

one of the coconspirators in the first indictment was jeffrey clark or former justice department officialhat no, the new indictment no longer mentions that element of the alleged crime. and again, it goes out of its way to cast mike pence as the vice president or the former vice president. but as the head of the senate at the time, really trying to separate the distinction between anything trump could be immune for prosecution for, and trump's role outside of his official acts as president. >> zach cohen. thank you so much for your reporting this morning for us all right. >> new this morning unsolicited campaign advice from longtime democratic operative james carville well, in the new york times, who writes, there are three things that vice president harris needs to do to beat donald trump. number one, help trump hurt himself when the debate. number two, break from president biden on policy. and number three, display a clear growth mindset for the 2020 democratic primaries well this now carlos, longtime friend and partner cnn, political commentator and democratic strategist paul begala, a

clark's mother was in the courtroom, supporting her son. as the jury started deliberations, she was anxious and bitter. they've taken a good young man, and they've destroyed his life. andrea canning: brittany's brother, jeffreyrdict he'd wanted so badly. i'd thought, 100%, we got this. there was no doubt whatsoever that they were going to come back and return a guilty verdict. andrea canning: but nobody on the outside really knows what happens in a jury room, and after deliberating for six hours, this jury gave up. they came close, but could not reach a unanimous verdict. the vote was 11 not guilty, only one guilty. at this point, i'm going to declare a mistrial and disband this jury. they come back hopelessly deadlocked. and not only that, but it's 11 to 1 acquittal. right. you must have been just shell-shocked. devastated. just devastated. andrea canning: norman clark had been held in jail for 15 months since his arrest. he was released after his mistrial, but was still an accused murderer. do you feel like you have a cloud hanging over your head? oh, yes, ma'am. definitely. it's a huge, dark cloud above my head. andrea canning: that cloud would remain, because prosecutors decided they would try norman cla
