we're seeing an em boldened president trump post acquittal. angry and petty.that what's going on? >> plus he realized of course impeachment was probably one bite at the apple in one particular term. he's on the ballot in november and won't have to fight against an obstacle like the gop saying whatever you're doing we're going to president you under higher scrutiny. that's not the case. he is very em boldened. like somebody who got away with something inappropriate would be. unlike the last president who was impeached who was contrite. and apologetic and unify the nation. this president has felt entitled and exacting revenge. it's the institution paying the price. >> this is your late etc. column in the "washington post." the other concerning political maneuvers. flynn and giuliani. can you talk about those? >> i can. one quick point on stone, she has it right. it's by the book. it's not just the department. it was pretrial services and probation. they said it's the rite sentence. you can discuss it within the u.s. attorney process not the assistants say it and

they include an em boldened north korea, the iranian regime, terrorists across both continents. russia and china are working to provoke american interests and our allies, including the ukraine. finally, with the 2020 presidential election mere months away, russia is once again targeting our election systems and manipulating our democratic discourse. right now, patriotic americans working in the state department, for intelligence agencies, serving in the military, are defending us from those very threats. these americans pledge to obey the orders of their commander-in-chief. they trust that their commander-in-chief's loyalty and sole focus is squarely on the best interests of the united states of america. i don't say this lightly. president trump has betrayed that trust. he promised us that he would put america first. instead he put himself first. throughout our history, the defense of our nation has depended on the leadership of men whose names we now remember when we visit their memorials, names like lincoln and washington and roosevelt. these men all swore the same oath that p

scott bolden, the former chairman of the democratic party. arlette, let's start with you, because we're seeing biden, buttigieg, bloomberg and klobuchar going after sanders in particular, whether it be his policies or his response to the more controversial supporters. how are candidates hoping to slow down the momentum that sanders has and continues to see? >> well, there's no question that bernie sanders has quite a bit of momentum heading into nevada after those top two finishes in iowa and new hampshire. he also does quite well when it comes to latino voters. you know, he won the majority of latino caucusgoers here back in 2016 when he ran against hillary clinton. you have seen the other contenders as was late out in mj's piece vocalize their criticize of sanders. joe biden over the weekend had been talking a lot about health care and gun control two issues where he believes he provides a contrast to bernie sanders. one thing that biden has really been pressing is his health care plan. saying that under biden's plan union workers which hav

scott bolden, former chair of the credit party, also an attorney. ellis, playing a huge role in this lawsuit, as senior legal advisor to the trump campaign. jenna, i'm going to start with you. why sue the times? >> to hold them accountable. when you have something that is so provably false, like the statement that claims the campaign had a quid pro quo deal, an overarching deal with russia, that is something that is provably false. so you can't, as "the new york times" is trying to do, you can't then push back and say, "that's just an opinion piece." the courts have consistently said that factual statements that are false are different than an opinion. the campaign has absolutely no problem with people expressing their opinion. we are happy to go toe-to-toe, we know we have the best candidate. we have to express an actual opinion and you can to go around that and simply say, "well, just because we label this in op-ed, that we can make any sort of claim." for example -- >> harris: hold on one second, jenna. i want to get scott in here. scott, do they

joining me now horace cooper scott bolden. and steve cortes, america first national spokesman.cott, why should black voters support biden?ic >> he is super qualified, one. two, the long term connection with obama. whether obama is walking through the presidential door or not, he has that connection and is wrapping himself in it. barack obama was one of the most popular presidents in this country. politics and elections are about connecting with people, and they feel that connection with biden. >> laura: horace, he said he earned their votes in south carolina? >> a couple of times, he says he earned it and a couple of times he said they owed him, he was a little confused about it h all. what is really clear is i haven't seen anything over the last four years that he has done that is particularly helpful toe the interests of black america. he goes to the one state with the largest percentage of blacks so far in this lineup, and essentially says, you have to decide if i get to go forward or not. that is what this is really about. does he get to go forward? >> how do you explain on

. >> reporter: charles bolden former head of nasa said a few years ago, johnson was always given thedest calculations how surprised do you think people were that it was a black woman? >> shocked shocked. you got to remember when she walked in the control center, she was the only black in there so quite naturally, they thought she was the maid >> reporter: for years, she was hardly known outside of nasa the movie "hidden figures" changed that >> nasa, sir. >> nasa? i had no idea they hired. >> reporter: she was honored at the academy awards and given the presidential medal of freedom. in an interview a few years ago, johnson was forever humble you did your job better than anybody. >> i did the best i could. >> reporter: when she died today at 101, tributes from nasa and taraji p. henson, who played johnson in the movie wrote, because of your hard work, little girls everywhere can dream as big as the moon the woman enchanted by numbers now counted as a true american hero rehema ellis, nbc news. >> katherine johnson a hidden figure no more that's "nightly news" for this monday i'm leste

pardon he says the move to convict on could have bolden other republican politicians. in both cases i think there was an expectation after the house impeached that the senate was going to acquit was going to basically not convict him the one difference though is that this was the 1st impeachment trial in the history of the united states were a senator of the party of the president who was impeached voted to convict him so mitt romney did a lot of things today by breaking this news but i think the words that he used and the sense of conviction and putting country above party is something that democrats whoever the presidential nominee is or frankly democrats going forward will seize upon to say we all don't have to fall prey to what. sort of force donald trump has over most republicans that people can rise above that so in that sense by the time of the clinton trial bill clinton had apologized for his behavior donald trump to this moment still says that his behavior was perfect and i think the one answer is that when the impeachment trial was over in 1990 against bill c

amy klobuchar surprising many with a surge to round out the top three as joe bolden -- oh biden heading for south carolina. team coverage live with expert analysis, todd pyro with reaction from donald trump on his overwhelming primary win. here is a breakdown of all the results. >> reporter: the picture emerging is a fierce two man battle, the greatest state delivering results. i one minus the election results headaches, and one% you have bernie sanders and pete buttigieg claiming a form of victory. >> let me say tonight that this victory here is the beginning of the end for donald trump. >> a campaign some said shouldn't be here at all has shown that we are here to stay. [applause] >> let's look at those numbers. sanders on top 25, buttigieg 24.44, klobuchar 19.78, warren 9.29, biden rounding out 8.42. nine delegates, 0 for warren, biden, two big surprises, how well amy klobuchar did, she surged, the moderate voice, she told reporters on the way out of town. >> i am so happy. i have beaten the odds more than that. i'm not bolted to my senate desk anymore and i got to new hampshire and

>> i think he feels totally em boldened and entitled to conduct himself in this way.hunt. of course it's true that vindman and sondland serve at the pleasure of the president. neither were serving at the pleasure of congress. they were compelled via a subpoena to appear. to have now the track record being somebody who is having to respond to a subpoena issued by congress in hearing is also now punished not because they were performing poorly at the job but they did not demonstrate the level of loyalty. it will have a bit of a freezing effect, a chilling effect on others who come forward and say i have to testify. i was asked a question. what do you say? the president is the head of the branch that's supposed to enforce the law. this is a problem. >> when you testify as a result of a subpoena, you go before congress. you have to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. otherwise you could wind up in jail. jeffrey, let's talk a bit about lindsey graham, the chairman of senate judiciary committee. i'll play a clip of what he said and we'll discuss. >> a

he's em boldened. >> he is. he's been set free. your party won't do anything to check you. he doesn't even have to think twice. look what he did with the intelligence briefing to congress. he didn't even wait long enough to hear about sanders. there is a legitimate question. if he knew a month ago was he allowed to talk? i wonder why we didn't hear anything. >> he said it was intelligence he didn't want to say anything. listen, i don't know. why didn't he say anything? >> i don't know. it's good to know. >> it would have been good to know a month ago. >> exactly right. >> loyalty test. this is out of voeld mort. are you with us or not. it's not supposed to be about that. >> when they came after this person i didn't say anything and that person. and that person. finally nobody left. >> you know who will be there when they come for you. >> not you. >> the vanilla gorilla. >> you know what, i'm not going to deny that. vanilla gorilla is right. the color purple. you shol is ugly. >> my beauty is on the inside. >> boy, bye. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. thank you for joi

. >>> just days after his acquittal by the senate, we are seeing an em boldened president trump, seemingo be intent on getting revenge, last night he fired two administration officials who testified during the impeachment inquiry. one is a decorated military man, lieutenant colonel alexander vindman, a purple heart resip ye ent and a top official, and escorted out by security and told his services were no longer needed. and no explanation. months after vindman's emotional testimony before the house. >> next month will mark four years since mi family arrived in the united states as refugees. when my father was 47 years old, he left bind his entire life, and the only home he had ever known, to start over in the united states, so that his three sons could have a better and safer life. i'm sitting here today, in the u.s. capitol, talking to our elected professionals, talking to our elected professionals is, proof that you made the right decision 40 years ago to leave the soviet union, come here to the united states of america, in search of a better life for our family. do not worry. i will b

[laughter] kennedy: that's right he could be the one person. >> to bring everyone together. >> actually i can't stand michael bolton. [laughter] kennedy: you love john bolton everybody hated him but last year you were for him. >> and the people who loved him hate them now. >> i think bolton had the white house leak his little decided transcript from his book to bring him on. and there is no bombshell information whatsoever. it confirms half the stuff donald trump says anyway. kennedy: and john bolton today was the call with zelensky was warm and cordial. >> that does not get clicks or sell books. kennedy: that should be in the name of his book warm and cordial. when chuck to snuggle up with that? >> i think there's something a little ironic about his title. the room where it happened is which is a lyric from the hamilton musical. the whole point of that lyric is that bert was willing to do anything to be in that room. he didn't a

well, i mean, the trajectory of this president is, if you can believe it, increasingly em boldened, a criminal investigation that found substantial information that he had obstructed a criminal probe. not just because he was a sitting president that couldn't being charged. he claimed he was exonerated and he convinced a lot of supporters that that's exactly what he was. now this, acquittal, after he did what lieutenant colonel found. what fiona hill called a domestic errand. he's triumphed over that. in each moment he's found a new way to shake up the snow globe and the independence of each of these branches of government. back to the idea that everybody shut be back. i will add one last thing, brian, which is about the navy secretary. so many people in the military, senior kcadres, they have concen about the president blowing through the code of conduct that they have. that pressure that he applied to people, that really was scarring and it's something that not just former secretary spencer is upset about. many, many people are disturbed by that in the pentagon. >> two pulitzer prize

felt different at the white house or do you feel they feel more em boldened? are they being transparent or what's your feeling? >> at this point after going through the russia investigation and mueller investigation of course and this impeachment, you're seeing aides feel bold around the president. they have been in the time where the mueller investigation they didn't know how that was going to end. aides were clear eyed about that. and the same with ukraine. they were shell shocked by it. at the beginning. you get this sense of them being empowered as well among with the president. you feel it is a turn lg foiing for him. this is the moment where the president feels like he is really settled into the role. he's bringing back loyalists like hope hicks and people with him in the beginning early days of the white house. he wants people that he feels like he can trust around him circling around him as he he's heading into reelection and turn his eye to that. the question really is what that's going to look like. i think back to whenever the impeachment inquiry wa

and -- >> sean: that's the thing -- >> and bolden -- and bolded lunatics like this guy that went intod shut the cops. >> sean: dan bongino when you have to evidence and don't only think doesn't it raised the level at this point? they feel in bolded? >> sean, none of this is complicated. we have seen spikes in crime, spikes and attacks on police officers for two very obvious reasons. the first has been the depersonalization of police officers. constant attacks, speaking of stereo typically as if they are all this public menace. obviously, that will have an effect when that comes out of the mouths of public figures with a profile like the dreadful mayor of new york city. and then you combine that with the fact that they've gotten away from this broken windows policing where you have this permissive nature for low-level criminality that leader becomes high level criminality. just a quick example, when i was a cup of new york, when someone jumped and turns out they went to jail and you lock them up but now what do we do? we pat them on the back and it is the same guy that robbed somebody

here's breaking news president trump em boldened by impeachment victory. firing two key witnesses. lieutenant vindman and ambassador sondland. the u.s. a million dollar trump donor recalled effective immediately after he reportedly resisted efforts to resign. vindman fired from his white house job and escorted out of by security. his twin brother lieutenant colonel a national security counsel attorney who did not testify was fired as well chl there's a lot to get to right now. the story on this she's been reporting. good evening to you. how did this go down? what's going on? >> it's a striking night. the white house is not putting forth pretenses to say it's not connected. they're not pushing back on that. when it's clear their drawing a direct line from the impeachment and now no longer have the jobs. i want to start with how this first began in the first person fired. that's of course lieutenant colonel vindman. we had an inkling he would be on his way out. he was telling colleagues he was likely going to leave the post months before he was expected to. and the president all but

he's em boldened. >> he is. he's been set free. your party won't do anything to check you.think twice. look what he did with the intelligence briefing to congress. he didn't even wait long enough to hear about sanders. there is a legitimate question. if he knew a month ago was he allowed to talk? i wonder why we didn't hear anything. >> he said it was intelligence he didn't want to say anything. listen, i don't know. why didn't he say anything? >> i don't know. it's good to

i think the reason we are here to begin with because too few people pushed back which em boldened the president to be able to do all the things that he felt like he was okay with. so, i think that question really has to be asked not just of the president but of everybody. who's pushing back? >> thank you both very much. that's a crucial question. who is pushing back. >>> next, new confusion in iowa to want. new confusion in iowa -- what? the state still scrambling to declare a winner. just over 30 minutes, the current top finishes, sanders and buttigieg will take the stage at cnn's town halls. >>> plus joe biden's biggest selling point, his electability, coming under attack tonight. it took plenty of work to get here. but it's still important to be prepared for what's next. at fidelity, we can help you build a clear plan for retirement without the unnecessary fees you might expect from so many financial firms. we'll make sure you can cover the essentials, as well as all the things you want to do. because when you have a retirement partner who gives you clarity at every step, there's n

the appropriateness of further military intervention against iran, and that if you do you'll be em boldeningon that somehow we would be making america less safe by having a debate or a discussion about the appropriateness of further military involvement against the government of iran. now, i find this insulting and demeaning, not personally, but to the office that each of the 100 senators in this building happens to hold. >> the president is already weighing in, manu raju back to you up on the hill. what are you hearing? >> yeah, this was -- this vote just happened to advance this war powers measure, and it was approved. it was a procedural vote that was adopted just moments ago. it was approved by 51-45 bipartisan majority, and there were eight republican senators who broke ranks to join with democrats in proving this bill, which would essentially constrain the president from moving forward on iran by forcing him essentially to come to congress before waging war with that country. he said that the vote, the eight defectors included lamar alexander lex of tennessee, susan collins of maine, m

bolden has promised major new revelations on the ukraine. why don't you just tell us what they are. >> he has said because he can't. his hands are tied by the white house. he speaks again, i think, on -- later this week at another university. so we'll see what happens. margaret, thanks. renato, appreciate it. >>> more than 100 americans quarantined at a military base in california. they will be free as several hundred more are just beginning their isolation. of course, this is all tied to the coronavirus. we're also moments away from the opening bell on wall street. stocks trending lower to start the holiday shortened week of trading. the coronavirus has investors uneasy. apple taking a hit after the tech giant warned it will affect its bottom line. apple will likely miss earnings targets for the quarter because the virus has shut down all of its stores in china and halted manufacturing there for some time. at leaf blowers. you should be mad your neighbor always wants to hang out. and you should be mad your smart fridge is unnecessarily comp

let's bring in scott bolden, former chair of the d.c. democratic party. do voice there.ou. >> good seeing you. >> harris: the president called the unmitigated disaster. and then from inside your own party, a mess, and a lot of really other unkind things. how big a deal is this going forward? >> i think short time it's a huge deal. i'm a former state party chair. it's stressful putting on a presidential primary in and of itself. this is 100 times worse, because the world is watching. these candidates have been campaigning for over a year. volunteers raising money. it's almost anticlimactic. in fact, it is anticlimactic, because you don't have a winner, you don't have a victory speech. they have no information about which candidate, those four leading candidates, were bunched up. we have no pathway forward politically, at least not that we know of. long-term, we get the results this evening. hopefully -- >> harris: no, no, no. we get the majority of those results. that's part of the problem. we don't even know what the end results will be. things weren't broken as a defect

warmer in terms of the words that they've been sharing with him as soon framed feel pretty much jim bolden i think by these figures so far we could world trying to reach out to some of the smaller parties and wait it out until possibly a future election where they may well stand to win it but the huge huge advance pushing for this year's election well in all the stories we're following a russian cortez handed down lengthy sentences to 7 activists the state is accused of trying to overthrow the government authorities say the man a part of a group called set meaning network but rights groups and lawyers say the charges are fabricated the men have been tortured into giving false confessions sentences range from between 6 and 18 years a position opposition figure alexina valmy tweeted that the sentences are horrific and the group is a fictitious terrorist organization. of course we've been following storm care a very closely battered person over the weekend it's caused more chaos as it continues to sweep across europe called storm sabine in germany and elsewhere in norway say the worst has pas

and i think it em boldens people like that. >> sherry, what are you seeing in terms of that? does the embrace of autocrats by this administration -- how does that trouble you? how does that affect your work? >> i think it's a big problem. you know, but at the same time i think the democrats that we work with around the world see and understand the difference between the trump administration and his actions and the values and commitment to democracy of the united states. and they still very much believe that the united states is supporting democratic values around the world. they're frustrated that the president and his administration send very different signals. you know, i think as long as we have a trump administration, it's going to get harder and harder to underscore those values. i think it's going to get harder for us as democracy organizations to say, you know, this is just an anomaly, it's not going to last. we're still here supporting human rights and democracy around the world. right now i think we have an opportunity to still use our past history and credibility, t

he wrote a vote to acquit will force every senator to own trump's 'em boldened rhetoric of being exonerated to defend trump when the next embarrassing thing hits the air waves or when john bolton's book comes out or when internal memos about the drug deal come out. republican senators will become full-time kpaun ratexoneraters. here's lev parnas on what he would have said. do we have it? okay. we don't have it yet. okay, we're going to hold off on that. lev parnas was going to testify to the effort that he and a handful of republican operatives engaged in over a period of months to remove ambassador marie yovanovitch and gather dirt on joe and hunter biden. if he were to testify those including roles super pac america first, donald trump, vice president pence, energy secretary rick perry, secretary of state mike pompeo, attorney general bill barr, lindsey graham, congressman devin nunes, his staffer, devon harvey, journalist john solomon, attorneys joe digenova and victoria toensing. he's going to throw everybody under the bus. michael steele is rahm emanuel right that they are now at risk

we now call them, the fashion gurus, includes celebrity stylist and creative from the show, jason boldenant. jason, let me start with you. he dressed cynthia erivo, and both of her outfits were absolutely brilliant, how you did that. tell us about the look on the red carpet. how did you go about deciding that? >> this happened when cynthia was on a flight to japan, and she got the nomination, and i text her the photo. she didn't respond, and normally she responds really rapidly, and then she landed and she was, like, none of the photos are loading. i was having a panic attack. this is the dress. i remember the very first fitting, i go, what's your -- in your head, what would be the most important thing you would want to kind of give off on the red carpet? she was, like, i want, like, a magic warrior princess. there you go. >> amazing. perfect description. >> it really was. what she wore for her performance, that was -- love, love, love. >> her idea of having everybody gather around her and run towards the sun, so we wanted the beautiful halo behind her. it was custom vera wang. >> all aw

pete: i love that point you made, the more they attack him, the stronger it makes him and 'em boldensnst him, i could find a way to vote for a socialist. and those weak attacks by biden, by buttigieg, bloomberg trying to buy it, in fact, bloomberg's the perfect foil for bernie. the question is how quickly do democrats consolidate, because the establishment hates the guy because he has not been part of their club. we saw the same thing on the republican side. whereas donald trump created a movement of patriots who wanted to get back to first principles, america first, what made america strong and free and prosperous, bernie sanders is selling a revolution, a result of a left-wing indoctrination, socialism, illegality, climate change control, he's selling something very -- it's hard to expand a map into republicans or independents with that message, so it could be an electoral message where a lot of democrats say i'm just not quite ready to sign up for bernie. jason: when america truly gets exposed to the radical positions, i just think donald trump is sitting better politically today t
