thank god for bill barr. i mean, it is biblical when it comes to jim jordan and bill barr. bill barr is pursuing the truth exactly what americans want from , their attorney general so what does bill barr think about the mar-a-lago raid which jim jordan and others are upset about and the reason they've tried the department of justice here again? bill barr thinks the effort to present trump is a victim in the mar-a-lago document affair is a cynical, political, propaganda exercise. barr said just this month the government acted responsibly and it was donald j. trump who acted irresponsibly. i don't know what happened, but i can only assume that when it comes to bill barr, jim jordan is all in until bill barr departs with the one client that this committee fights for everyday, and that is donald trump. and that's to bed. that's too bad because as we have seen donald trump has no , regard for the law and anyone who defends him is going to be a foot soldier and a footnote and in history books that chronicle his corruption. i yield back. chair cline: the gentleman yields back. i w

barr on lunch march 25th? >> i don't believe so, the timing was three days after he received the report, and you don't think in your meeting, you talked about the mueller report? >> i do not think that was, i think it was when i was meeting the attorney general, because i had come the u.s. attorney in connecticut. and mid to late february. >> maybe you can search your memory, and get back to us on that. it is troubling to me, because it is clear, you are brought in by attorney general, barr at the same week the mueller report was released, and the day after his misleading letter, which hung out there for 25 days. before the public at our hands, in our, eyes on the redacted report. >> you were hard to investigate the investigators, one week after you met with mr. barr on april 13th, attorney general barr's counselor said, the charm, emailed you offering assistance on behalf of barr saying, john, the a.g. has may be aware of the redacted, material you are working with and he asked me to provide you with my suppo

bill barr is doing the lords work. jim jordan again, april 19, bill barr is pursuing the truth. exactly what americans want from their attorney general. now, if you are tracking bill barr no longer is defending or doing the bidding of donald trump and as it relates to mar-a-lago, bill barr has said the effort to present trump as a victim in the mar-a-lago document affair is cynical political propaganda. bar said earlier this month trumps -- trump's toes. then he sent the government acted responsibly. and it was donald trump who acted irresponsibly. my question for jim jordan is is this investigation of donald trump -- if this investigation is good enough for bill barr why is it not good enough for you? why are we going this -- through this and drag the apartment -- department and if someone you love is saying the investigation is valid? >> we are defending all of this, if we could show the next slide, the client that is being defended, the actions are actually quite indefensible. but this is what he wants because this is what you posted this morning. donald trump said congress,

the clip you played from barr contained at least three lies. special counsel inquiry, the gop-controlled senate intelligence committee findings on russia, he just pretended he didn't know. so he's not stupid so you're left with the notion that he's actually trying to pretend to be ignorant because it's part of the mission, part of the cause we're going to continue to see this in the form of mark meadows and all these people, but the one that really had the reputation that really has bottomed out isn't rudy giuliani or bill barr, who had issues before this mess it's john durham >> what's interesting is that people like that are usually able to be snapped out of it by a nora, who says, john, what are you doing? what's extraordinary about the reporting is she's not asking him to not be part of the trump era justice department she's not asking him to quit in solidarity with her. she's not asking hum to make a statement. she urged mr. durham to ask the attorney general to adhere to justice department policy. that's it. she wanted him to return to th

velasquez: how frequently where you meeting with vice chair barr? chair powell: we frequently sat near each other. rep. velasquez: and you never discussed the cultural shift? chair powell: the way you are describing it is not what i recall. i recall vice chair quarles talking about things like focusing on the important issues and not getting diverted into other -- rep. velasquez: so the way that it was described by vice chair barr is what he recalled. chair powell: i am confident that the staff who worked on the report reported accurately what they heard. i am sure that is right. rep. velasquez: so what steps did you take proactively to meet with regulatory and supervisory staff? chair powell: we are taking significant steps now. we are looking carefully at these events and asking ourselves, what do we need to do with supervision? there is a point to be made that there are situations in which we need to be more forceful and more proactive, not in all situations, but in some. the regulations, we are learning we need to update our thinking around liqu

of course, barr, often, despite what he is saying now, barr often acted like he was trump's lawyer.cal opponents. >> and garland has sought to be the anti-barr, and a lot of his allies said it has come to be the detriment, and it has hurt some of his investigations and some of the justice department morale at a time when the justice department is clearly under assault from -- you know, in an active bid by trump and the house gop conference and the republican party. but you will hear today, democrats try to really reinforce this idea that david weiss was a trump appointed u.s. attorney, and he was barr's guy, and he was expected to investigate hunter biden very aggressively. that investigation lasted through to biden, obviously, and that deal fell apart. you will see, i think, merrick garland show he tried to keep an arm's length far away from this as possible. the bottom line that you are going to hear from democrats and from merrick garland as well, is that david weiss did have full authority to pursue whatever charges he wanted. obviously now, he still does, as we have seen an ind

in previous weeks he's targeted mike pence, bill barr, and even a prosecutor on jack smith's team.ight now the special counsel wants this iron glad order from the judge in an effort to get donald trump to stop here, anderson. >> and what has the judge previously told the former president's attorneys in court about the argument that he's a candidate for office? >> during his arraignment, the judge was blunt about this. she told trump, look, you're essentially a criminal defendant first, a political candidate second. and she said she expected him to stay within certain boundaries, including limiting what he says. she already told him during that arraignment that if he makes comments that could influence the jury pool, she said she'll speed the start of this trial. she's set it for march 4th of next year. could she bump it up even more? she could. and now the special counsel wants the judge to bar trump officially from making comments about potential witnesses like bill barr, like mike pence. and they want it in this official written order that if the judge issues this, as they ask, t

bill barr is once again dismissing claims from his former boss.id his upcoming criminal trials are election interference. yesterday on fox news, his former attorney general called those claims -- >> if a prominent person commits a crime and there's a -- and is seeking office, that doesn't give them immunity. if there is enough time to have it resolved before the election, it should be resolved. the idea that, oh, okay, well, i'm sorry, we'll let you run in the election, and after we'll address it, that's not a principle. i mean, just think, some mayor charged, you know, with massive embezzlement and says, well, it's a year and a half to the election, let's put that on hold while i run for re-election, it's silly. it's silly. you can argue about whether or not he should have been charged and so forth, but the idea this is interfeing with the election is simply wrong. >> joining us now, founder of the conservative website, the bulwark, charlie sykes. great to see you. strong words from bill barr, who is turning into a reliable critic of donald trump

barr's focus on matters that aren't necessarily material to the recent bank failures. his report on silicon valley bank seemed to go out of its way to advocate for higher capital levels as a cure for the recent bank failures, instead of the failures of regulators and bank mismanagement. in fact, one of your other colleagues, federal reserve colleagues, governor bowman, echoed these concerns and recent remarks when he said the unique nature and business models of the banks that recently failed, in my view, do not justify imposing new, overly complex regulatory and supervisory expectations on a broad range of banks. if we allow this to occur, we will end up with a system of significantly fewer banks serving significantly fewer customers. those who will likely bear the burden of this new banking system are those of the lower end of the economic spectrum, both individuals and businesses. just a couple of moments ago, rep donalds asked you a couple of questions and your response was that you mentioned how important community banks are and that you were keeping them in mind

after bill barr gave an announcement later on bill barr went to the white house, they also had a major out there. then, shortly thereafter, william barr left the justice department. i think one of the things that really even stuck out to me when i was looking and working on the book, was how -- that sort of overlap in the lead up to january 6th. so you have, this then you have a new individual of course at the justice department. they were making these preparations for january 6th itself, while they were thinking that the new justice department leader was going to be fired. that sort of put in place at the white house. so all of these events sort of impacted the justice department's, ability and the fbi's ability to prepare properly for january 6th. and act on the intelligence they were getting about what could have been that day in the lead up to january 6th. >> well, we know obviously have been following all the charges against january six protesters. this week the subject of right-wing conspiracy theories, he was part of the fbi and january six was a false flag event, he pleaded gui

meeting followed and barr got another opportunity to debunk the lies. among the claims he focused on were the ones about dominion voting machines. >> with the turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you can press a button for trump and the vote goes to biden. >> i told him that the stuff his people were shoveling out to the public was bullshit. i specifically raised the dominion voting machines, i saw absolutely zero basis for the allegations. but they were made in such a sensational way that they obviously were influencing a lot of people. >> before the end of december, barr had quit. his replacement, acting attorney general jeffrey rosen, who came with a blunt yet low-key acting deputy attorney general named richard donohue. like barr, rosen and donohue took seriously and thoroughly investigated each of the fraud claims coming from then president trump. in late december, donohue spoke with the president and told him the truth about numerous false claims, including one involving dominion machines in northern michigan. >> there you had supposedly a cybe

there is sort of a, you know, a year from now, i wonder if bill barr would be saying the same thing ife were in the midst of a general election season and indeed donald trump was supposed to go to trial, as you know, there's a tradition to not, within 60 to 90 days of an election, to actually pursue this kind of a thing with a candidate in office, and you know, we're not that far away from donald trump potentially appearing on ballots. that's not all that far away at this point. but his overall point, i think, is one we should all take heed of here, which is that why should these prosecutions wait for an entire election season to go, wouldn't it be beneficial to the voters across the country to have some sense of what is at the heart of these charges in the midst of a trial and perhaps adjudication before they have to make choices. >> yeah, that's one situation that's happening right now and is certainly an argument. the other thing that is happening, of course, along with donald trump, who is the main focus, obviously, all of these other defendants who are caught up in his alleged sch

gibson for his oral remarks. >> chairman barr, ranking member foster and members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to discuss the federal reserves supervisory work related to the financial risks of climate change. the federal reserves responsibilities with respect to climate change are important but narrow spirited responsibilities are tightly linked to our responsibilities for bank supervision and financial stability. because climate change could pose challenges for the financial system, it is important we better understand these risks. our primary focus is to evaluate whether banks operate in a safe and sound manner and manage all material risks including climate-related financial risks before proceeding it is important to emphasize two general points about our supervisory approach. first the federal reserve recognizes that decisions about policies to address climate change itself should be made by the elected branches of government peer as chair powell stated earlier this year the federal reserve is not a climate policy banker. second, it is not the federal reserve

here's what i would tell mr barr and anybody else.in deeply political areas. there'll be a day under this theory where some texas prosecutor will go after a democrat for allowing illegal immigrants to come across the state of texas and murder, rape and pillage. what i worry about is that you've got a county prosecutor, a city prosecutor bringing charges in very liberal venues. you got the special counsel, january 6th special counsel. let's see how all this plays out. the reason republicans are going to nominate donald trump is they see the accusations against him being designed to reduce his ability to be president, not as righting wrongs. that's the way most look at it. how far, senator graham, are you prepared to take this? if donald trump is convicted in one of these four trials before november 2024, will you still support him as the republican nominee? yeah, i think so. well, i don't know what he's going to be convicted of but, generally speaking, i'm not going to let these prosecutions affect my ability to support president trump

something bill barr said, listen. >> basic principle in the criminal justice system is if a prominente, that doesn't give them immunity. if there's enough time to have it resolved before the election, it should be resolved. you can argue about whether he should have been charged and so forth but the idea this is interfering with the election is wrong. >> barr has made a sharp turnaway from trump world since he left i think in december at the end of trump's term, i think it's an interesting point. one, he's a lawyer, two, a respected lawyer -- >> and, three, was asked to look into election interference. >> he was there for all of this but, once again, he takes point by point the trump team puts out and takes it apart shortly thereafter. >> you raise a really good point. my question, and i look at it from the perspective how is this affecting voters and how are voters viewing all of this, i don't know if it matters. i don't know if that argument, however legitimate it is will make inroads with the majority of republican voters who believe this entire process is politicized, right? to be

i do want to follow up on your prior testimony on the trip that you and the attorney general barr took to italy. and i wanted to ask you about this and to elaborate on that. i take it that was at the point prior to becoming special counsel, but not by much. is that right? >> it was prior to that. i think it was a while before. >> the dates i've gone, not august 16th 2027, because that about right? >> i was appointed special counsel in october of 2020. so more than a year before that. >> okay. and why did you go on that trip? >> i want to be careful. i am speaking outside the report, but i think members are probably aware of the fact there was a particular course that supposedly provided and made statements to papadopoulos. and papadopoulos, not wanting to talk to the australians, but when he was interviewed by the fbi, attributed information he had to this particular person. there is reason to believe that that particular person was in italy, or had been in italy. and let me ask a follow-up on that. why did the attorney general come with you to investigate that? >> this is my understan

can you imagine, bill barr, if he kept over an obama prosecutor to investigate trump's kids, barr would is projection. >> yesterday, lawyers for three fake electors charged in this case argued they were acting in their official duty under federal law. these are state players. so help me understand their argument and how long do you think it will hold up? >> it is a garbage argument. if mark meadows had a chance to win over that argument over moving it to federal court, he failed these people have zero chance because they were not federal officials. they're saying they were asked by federal officials to be electors but, perhaps, but perhaps they were asked to be fake electors their certificate of being an elector is no more real than herschel walker's badge that he claimed he could have bought in a gift shot and made him a sheriff. so this is a garbage argument. they are not federal officials they're not going to be able to get it removed and they weren't acting under color of law. they said they were the real electors that's a fraud, that's a lie you don't get federal protection for lyi
