barr. this morning, i along with senator round and other members in the community asking senator powell and explaining why the feds enhanced the provision and potential standards to silicon valley bank, or any some of the science bank, using the feds existing authority. we have also learned from public reporting that fed supervisors began flagging problems at svb as far back as 2021. now, i understand that we have a lot more to learn about the fact that have transpired. both the bank in any management failures. i expect that we are going to see that all factored in as part of a review. as you begin that review let me ask you, do you agree with chairman powell statement last week? it is quote, clear, that we do need to strengthen supervision and regulation? >> yes, i absolutely agree with that. >> lastly, what i would love to know, mr. greenberg, as we think about should we raise the federal deposit insurance, what percent of account holders, how much is private versus business, whatever cos

just focus on my hughes, barrs _ routine? just focus on my hughes, barrs is - routine?ne? just focus on my - hughes, barrs is one of those pieces that is always nerve racking but i told myself it's going to work and just be quick with reactions because i feel laying on bars, you need to be sharp i guess. {iii laying on bars, you need to be sharp i guess-— sharp i guess. of course you can aet sharp i guess. of course you can get more _ sharp i guess. of course you can get more on _ sharp i guess. of course you can get more on that - sharp i guess. of course you can get more on that and i can get more on that and everything else at the bbc sport website but for me and the rest of the team, until next time, goodbye. hello there. storm noa has been bringing problems to transport, with road, rail, ferries and airports affected. meanwhile, out to sea, some wild weather in cornwall, with these large, mountainous waves pummeling the coastline. some of the waves were thought to be about eight metres high. that's the same height as two double decker buses stacked on top of each o

barr. and he also has said he wouldn't advise him to get on the stand because trump essentially is a blabbermouth he can't stop talking and he won't be able to control himself. he says he has zero self control. a broken clock is right once a day. here is donald trump displaying his complete lack of self control, and i just want you to anticipate him as a witness, not just in this case necessarily, but in general, because there are multiple cases he could be in theory dealing with here he is with his friend sean hannity. >> i can't imagine you ever saying bring me some of the boxes that we brought back from the white house, i would like to look at them did you ever do that >> i would have to right to do that there's nothing wrong with it. >> i don't think you would do it >> i don't have a lot of time, but i would do that. >> let me move on. >> remember this, this is the presidential records act i have the right to take stuff do you know that they ended up paying richard nixon i think $18 mil

barr you were quoted quite extensively. her saying you get it correctly here is out of direct quote? >> the natural question why it wasn't there a textbook case for enforcement? >> supervisors looking at the bank identify the problem with the bank. did they identify them with enough level of urgency to the escalade appropriately it's an incredibly fair question i expect we will find will have more of an emphasis of supervising using the tools we have and putting it in place more promptly when they see problems at banks there supervising. >> of a number of mri. he didn't do anything other than write a letter. did not seemed like there is any enforcement, where is the stick? >> has exactly the right question. normally the supervisory process when the issue in mra or mr aa the bank promptly takes care of those matters. in this case obviously did not take care of them in such a way that prevented the failure. >> it seems like they believe you guys often you did not do anything. that's what it seems like for reading all of this

bill barr is watching this with me. he is going through the indictment, which we're told doesn't have any surprises. what do you think, bill? >> doesn't have any surprises except they never specify what the crime was that was being concealed. it just -- it's very repetitive. it's what we would refer to as stacking. every document is cited as a specific felony. it just says that he caused a false record and did it with the intent to conceal another crime, period. it doesn't get into the theory of the case. >> martha: so it doesn't say that the other crime created a federal election issue? >> they don't say that, no. but that -- they have some optionality, i guess, to figure out what the crime was that was being concealed. they never specify it. >> martha: does that seem odd to you? >> seems a little odd to me. but i don't know what the practice is in that court. >> martha: it's very vague. fair to say. and that the whole underpinning of this as we've understood it is that if you are falsifying a business record in order

bill barr knows what classification is. he was the country's attorney general.and yet he thinks the obstruction crimes are more glaring. he thinks an obstruction which before he became a.g. one of his auditions was a 19-point memo he wrote basically saying mueller's obstruction case was b.s. we know that's one of his favorite words and you've got this son obstruction skeptic going on fox news of all places saying on obstruction trump's goose is cooked how baft d must it be >> there's two pieces to the mar-a-lago charge. one is the stealing of all these documents that carol's been referring to and i think carol's absolutely right. my first job at the solicitor general's office at the justice department was national security adviser. and the idea that anyone could take any one of these documents laet loan over 100 is unfat unfathomable, unthinkable and a clear and present threat to our national security because these documents can be reverse-engineered and you can figure out what spies did to produce them literally lives could be lost. so that's the first half and

bill barr was not there two years ago. the statute of limitations had not run federally, they could have done whatever they wanted to do after i left. so, no one has done anything. so, for the state da to use this as a way of bootstrapping himself into a felony is outrageous. the other thing is, the statute itself, as technical as it sounds, it's not this falsification of a record. the statute says with the intent of the fraud. the falsification of the record has to have the intent to defraud. it's falsification is to defraud. there has to be a victim of fraud. someone, who has value taken away from and benefited the perpetrator. i don't see an explanation for that anywhere. i think it's a very weak case just on the misdemeanor. and on the federal issue, they have gone the statute completely wrong in my mind. -- gotten the statute completely wrong. the statute they are taking, which is paying hush money, i don't like that term, but hush money is a campaign contribution. i don't think they would take that position now. the

former attorney general bill barr slamming donald trump.e says the former president is a very weak candidate. listen to this. >> i think ultimately the savvy democratic strategists know this is going to help trump. they want him to be the nominee because he is the weakest of the republican candidates, most likely to lose again to biden. this stuff will drag out through 24 and it is going to stymie and disrupt the whole republican primary process. ashley: well, that is a theory, isn't it, byron? ultimately the democrats they don't care if it is helping trump, it is a win-win, makes him look bad because of indictment. they believe that donald trump is the candidate they want, joe biden or someone else in their party can beat him. what do you say? >> right. they think it helps him win the republican nomination. then he goes on to lose the democratic election. that is the scenario. bill barr said for many months does not want to see donald trump to be president again. doesn't want him to see trump win the republican nomination. as far as this n

he attacks former attorney general bill barr his own attorney general saying, quote. why does fox keep putting

barr is talking about in is a trial, which is bad for trump.t means he would lose all motions to dismiss, he shouldn't testify. take a look. >> i'm not his lawyer. you know, generally i think it's a bad idea to go on the stand. i think it's particularly bad idea for trump because he lacks all self control and it will be very difficult to prepare him and keep him testifying in a prudent fashion. >> professor >> i think i said on the show long ago that bill barr as a public deep defender for the president when he was attorney general. and nice to see him taking a more straight forward view of things most attorneys would advise their clients not to take the stand in their own defense that is a very straight forward piece of advice. i think that is likely right under this circumstance like this where he is testifying under oath it can be very difficult for this former president to stick to the straight and narrow the. >> yeah. i mentioned, nick that, barr is giving advice in terms of this case proceeding. what else will we see in the coming days an

michael barr saying raise the bar. it's t easy for barr to say, hey, more bar.harles, you can't say more pain, people don't want to hear that. [laughter] charles: no, they don't. 31 violations, i mean, to your point, everyone knows that they blew it and the terminology is sort of trump era, and it's really not necessarily anti-trump as pro-big business, pro-big government, rather, and pro-big regulations. i just think the fact they've had big regulations in place, and they just failed to see 31 red flags. i'm really concerned, ken, about the damage this can have on true small banks and communities that need them. >> i don't think so. we're going to disagree here. first, you to got a little over 4200 banks in america. the reality is you've got 4900 somethings, and somebody's supposed to be regulating and watching them. a few of them are going to have screw-ups because the regulation setup rules, they're sort of fences, but that doesn't contain up or down or this or that, and i just don't think they figure out silicon valley bank correctly. but with 42 the 200 --

former attorney general bill barr. thanks so much for your time tonight. thanks. as i mentioned, michael cohen is here . he is the key witness against trump and the hush money case. the man who made those payments to stormy daniels. now he is being sued by his former boss to the tune of half a billion dollars. this is his first interview since that lawsuit was filed will tell you what he says next. what if f we live to 100?i don't want to outlive our money. i keep eating all these chia seeds. i could live to be 100. we work with them power. even if we do live to 100, we don't have to worry. not worried. take control of your financial future to empower what's next? sometimes you're so busy takg care of everyone else. you don't do enoh for yourself or your mouth, but eventually it will remind you when it does. aspen dental is here for you. we offer the custom dental treatments you need all under one roof right nearby so we can bring more life to your smile and more smile to your life. affordably patients without insurance can get a free, complete examine x rays and

from what he understands bill barr would not have acces to any information we don't, would he how does he know >> no, no, not at all, he ha not seen a bit of the evidence just like the rest of us so, to say it's incredibly wea is to misstate the facts this reminds me an awful lot o what he did with robert mueller, when mueller first rolled ou his report and he spun it as a complete exoneration of donald trump. he talked about how there wa no evidence of conspiracy, there was no collusion after all this investigation you know, there is a bunch o nothing. even a federal judge in that case accused william barr of distorting the record in tha case and i think he's doing the sam thing again. now, someone who has his credibility can convince people so, if people watch that people of good faith saw, wow, that guy is a former attorne general of the united states he must know what he's talking about. and if he says there's nothing to the case, there must be nothing to the case. and yet, he has not even see it it is not unsealed yet and so it's really quite a bit of hubris to be able to issu tha

former u s attorney general bill barr is here. he'll react to this and the investigations into his former boss, donald trump. but first i want to bring in an all star cast of my cnn colleagues to discuss this. evan perez, abby phillip, karen friedman, agnes follow, and john miller all here tonight to discuss this, john, i want to start with you because watching this play out today was extraordinary with his fbi agents outside of his home. is he back towards them with his hands on his head? did they have to change anything after his publicly reported his identity? totally i mean, this was an operation where they set up a surveillance. uh, they were hoping he would go to work. today they could follow him to work. arrest him on the base and very controlled circumstances. instead what you had was new york times reporter is knocking on his door, publishing his name out there and open source. mom news helicopters circling over talking to his mom. so at that point, they had to make a command decision, which is not what they wanted to do.

and bill barr said, no, i see no evidence of it this just isn't there. this isn't a case. donald trump is not right about this, he used more colorful language than. we also see in the campaign send out a blast and hear a couple of donald trump's lawyers, joe tacopina, boris ep stsepshteyn,d trump's legal advisor, longtime friend of donald junior, that's how he got into the orbit. but a long time ago, saying already blasting off political t-shirts with his quote-unquote mug shot on it we know that a mug shot has not been taken they used a picture of donald trump and put it in front of the standard mug shot look here's donald trump walking in the hallway. let's see if he speaks to reporters? >> president trump -- >> okay, so that was pretty brief. i thought he was going to come towards the cameras and enter the courtroom doors. apparently not, you can see jason miller, communications director in the campaign following behind him he's entering in that courtroom. the indictment will be presented to him, at which point, we will see if the indictment gets unsealed immediately an

because this is civil, um caitlin really fascinating interview with former attorney general bill barr, who was during the trump administration and this this really struck me what he said about how um, caught the president, maybe legally, how much of a challenge he faces in the in the obstruction. part of the mar-a-lago probe here is that they draw bond them for a year and a half. they did subpoena him. and i thank the real question. there is not whether he kept the documents and had them in mar-a-lago so much as once this was raised with him, and it was clear that he was being asked to return the documents as the government's property. the games were played for quite a long time, and i think that that exposes him. against bill barr saying that exposes him well, this is somebody who knows the federal law for sure, and he's talking about something that is always in an issue when a federal investigator, fbi department of justice official sits you down to talk with you, even if it seems like a casual chat, you must tell the truth. failing to do so gives rise to an independent offense for

michael barr, the fed's vice chair of supervision writing in a letter, bank's senior leadership failedage basic interest rate and liquidity risk. its board of directors failed to oversee senior leadership and hold them accountable. and federal reserve soup swriezors failed to take forceful enough action. in other words, this was a failure at every level. but we already knew that the fed was aware of some of svb's problems. according to recent testimony from barr, more than a year before the bank fell, supervisors began raising red flags. so why couldn't they prevent svb's demise? well, the report says that supervisors delayed action to gather more evidence even as weaknesses were clear and growing. and this meant that supervisors did not force svb to fix its problems even as those problems worsened. the report also acknowledging that it's time for the fed to reconsider how it evaluates some banks, saying, quote, we need to evaluate how to ensure that supervision intensifies at the right pace as a firm grows in size or complexity. so what now? well, the ceo and co-founder of monetary po

rachel: the fact that you named some of those -- bill barr, jeb bush, kind of p tepid, but yes,d say than andrew cuomo, he has been kicked out of the democrat party in a lot of ways, there are no democrats saying this is wrong. only alan dershowitz and even among top republicans, mitch mcconnell, senator theune, we've seen silence. watching this, seeing there's no one really defending donald trump outside of the republican party and the base, they go what does this mean for me? will my neighbors who are democrats be silent if i am then the next in line to be persecuted and i say a that because we just had on people who lived under communism on our show who have said this is what it looked like before it all started to happen, go after the guy in charge and they go after his family, go after a his businesses and then they go after his supporters and a lot of americans are on edge because of that right now. >> trump's campaign pushed out new endorsements from house and senate republicans so something bad happens like this, even those in office are saying hey, it's time to stand behind

why would barr pick up the phone?rr to do that the answer is that something was off, with our southern district officers from washington that's what jeffrey berman said and i looked at the actual document that was submitte asking for a long sentence fro michael, and that is where i saw the words individual one directed michael cohen to pa hush money that was illegal, that must make individual one felon just as michael claimed. so why did they not name him don't trump? they could have said individua one in 1974, the watergate grand jury said richard nixo was an unindicted coconspirator, which is exactly wha then-president was they could not prosecute him under the policy of the justic department something is wrong here an i've long felt an inspector, general after berman wrote his book for, sure it needs to loo into the actions or non action or influence of washington o trump himself in tha particular targeting of michae cohen. the only person, lawrence, the entire trump organization. the only person prosecuted b the s

in washington alice barr nbc news. >> thank you, alice. south florida dealing with historic flooding after nearly 25 inches of rain fell yesterday and it is still coming down. check out this video from fort lauderdale. that is the airport. the runways full of water. obviously no flights are coming in. workers had to close the airport but hope to reopen it by tomorrow. that is iffy. city leaders declared a state of emergency closing schools and offices. people had to be rescued from their homes. some are saying their homes floodd within minutes with that monstrous downpour. at one point city emergency center had 900 calls for help. >> when all of a sudden it came in over the kitchen shelves i knew there was no stopping it. in a matter of 20 minutes the whole house was flooded up to 3 inches of water and eventually up to 4 inches throughout the house. >> officials say the storm may have broken the single day record for the state. i think i heard some figures that maybe they haven't had this kind of rain in a thousand years. >> not associated

according to recent testimony from barr, more than a year before the bank fell, supervisors began raisingvent the bank's demise? the report says a delayed action to gather more evidence as things were clear and growing. and they did not speed up to fix the problems even though the problems worsened. they said, quote, we need to evaluate how supervision intensifies a at the right pace as a firm grows in size and intensity. what now sunny i'm told they're going to be a little bit more holistic. as to look at the broadening scope of what they look at such as financial metrics to more kwal day tish metric about the character of the banks. as for the larger banking system, barr wrote that svb was an outlier and wrote, quote, our banking system is sound an resilient. >>> you remember the government stepped in to help the bank in a big way. the government says there will be no such rescue for first republic. >> the bank's stocks started plummeting 75% the first week. it fanned wall street's fears of a banking crisis. cnn's white house reporter jasmine wright joining us now. what else are you hea

>> well yeah, a lot of respect for bill barr but i would add this, harris. in those instances where an acquittal had occurred, the percentage of cases where the defendant took the stand is much, much higher. so you have to weigh that when you are representing the president. despite all of the difficulty in putting him on the stand, if there is a jury, they want to hear from the defendant. oftentimes they require it in order to acquit. >> harris: all right. a group of news organizations now is demanding more access asking the judge in former president trump's case to immediately unseal the indictment and they also want to allow cameras in the courtroom if it goes to trial. a new oped argues it cites past examples it claims with fuel speculation due to a lack of information and you can zoo he the list there full on your screen. classified documents, mueller report, other examples there where people were just left to either a whole load of disinformation or no information. your take. >> the grand jury has a rule assigned to it. a secrecy rule. i am doubtful tha

bob barr, thank you for taking time. very good to see you again. >> thank you.eil: all right, bob barr on that one. want to go to geraldo rivera for a number of reasons. he is a smart guy but he has lived a lot of history. i don't moan to say that means he is old but like me he lived a lot of history. >> i am. neil: my friend, when we talk about other great crises, more involving sitting presidents like richard nixon through watergate or the bill clinton situation, this is very different, concern as former president, but he wants to president again, so it gets scrutiny it does. how do you think it falls out, both of those cases think of nixon, later clinton, though different they were, the public initially shrugged the collective soldiers how much impact they have. they would later find out we would have significant impact. we just didn't see it at the time. what do you think now? >> well, i think the richard nixon history was really epic, neil. you had a situation where he was on the verge of being indicted for multiple counts of criminal activity following you

and, you know the former attorney general bill barr has been very critical.ah of trump in many ways over the weekend, though he spoke out on that particular issue regarding the payments to stormy daniels. i want to play for you what he said. they're saying he falsified the corporate record. but for that, to even be a misdemeanor, you have to be trying to defraud somebody, and it's unclear exactly who was defrauded. this is his own company. when he does he have a point. i mean, this was his own company, right? so this this point that bill barr is making about defrauding well , first of all, this is the same bill barr that picked up the telephone and tried to interfere in the prosecution of michael cohen, according to the u. s attorney, geoffrey berman. so his credibility to me, at least, is quite low with that interference. secondly let the evidence speak. i'm not going to debate whether there's enough evidence of intent. i know i sat with michael in a room with very meticulous and very careful. prosecutors who had compiling evidence to corroborate one another

>> i understand why people wanting to make a lot out of bill barr's takes on different things. >> just. >> this comes up a lot it comes up a lot. >> really just this one. he sounds like he's testified himself. he sounds so invested in trump being held accountable in just the obstruction prong of the documents case >> this isn't an answer to your question, but there was -- covering the trump presidency and all the investigations, out of all of the players on the field, there was no one that i saw maybe besides don mcgahn that had the ability to move around on the chess board and had the political instincts to do it and the savvy to do it than bill barr so i would just say that when bill barr is out there saying things like that, you have to look at them through the lens of someone who has tried to politically ma soneuver this fo himself in many, many different ways bill barr is not the attorney general anymore so i'm not sure why it matters. >> no. look, it's a fair warning that his motives i think are always a wrinkle in anything that he's saying publicly. a lot of these comments were
