it's also worth noting john eastman once clerked for clarence thomas. y, ginni thomas' attorney released a statement saying, she answered a lot of the committee's questions as she told the committee, her minimal and mainstream activity focused on insuring that reports of fraud were investigated. beyond that, she played no part. >> joining me is former assistant watergate prosecutor. thank you, nick. this is so unusual. i can't even name the wife or spouse of any other supreme court justice ever in history. this woman has been a longtime right wing activist, and she seemed to have been actively involved including emailing her husband's former clerk, john eastman. what do you make of all of it, and what do you think the probative value of talking to her might have been? >> it's hard to say what the probative value is going to be. my big question is, who asked her to call these legislators in wisconsin and arizona to get them to basically vote in these fake trump electors? you know, that's my big question. that's the part that is really concerning. she coul

is it possible clarence thomas had in idea of the activities of ginni thomas? possible. had no idea what was going on during the election and biden and trump and her connections to the administration? possible. sit probable? i can't even get my arms to being probable. you don't have any specific proof of clarence pushing this, great, that's fine. we got to find out. >> it's not an academic question anymore. it's seen real life application. election related cases have come before the united states supreme court. and clarence thomas was the only justice to side with donald trump when he asked the supreme court to block the release of white house records concerning the 1/6 insurrection. i'm going get into all of this and more with barbara mcquade. we're back in 60 seconds. quade. we're back in 60 seconds hello c! hello, kevin hart! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours. why give your family just ordinary eggs when they can enjoy the best? eggland's best. the only eggs with more fresh and deliciou

lot of people have spouses that have ideas that they probably don't agree with, it doesn't make clarence thomas a bad person and doesn't mean he has done a thing wrong. i want to be clear, i think what ginni thomas was asking these people to do was wrong, but a lot of people during that time were having a lot of bad ideas. it absolutely doesn't mean clarence thomas has done anything untoward at all but the impulse of liberals is to go after clarence thomas so here you go. >> the question would need to be would it make him an impartial jurist. it's not an issue of did he do anything wrong it's can he be impartial if his wife was involved. >> my view is all of these supreme court justices have spouses and family members that have opinions that may differ from their own. i trust them all. these are some of the most trusted people in our government, liberal or conservative, they are all confirmed by the senate, they all know the rules they have to live about and i've never seen any evidence whatsoever that clarence thomas has ever been influenced by anything other than his own views and jurispruden

yet, clarence thomas has refused to recuse himself from supreme court cases related to trump and the election. nbc news has obtained her opening statement to the committee which read, quote, regarding the 2020 election, i did not speak with justice clarence thomas at all about the details of my volunteer campaign activities. i am certain i never spoke with him about any of the legal challenges to the 2020 election, as i was not involved with those challenges in any way. and i know he was completely unaware of my texts with mark meadows until this committee leaked them to the press. those multiple texts to then chief of staff mark meadows were conspiracy theories, folks, including one drowning directly from qanon. congressman adam schiff a member of the 1/6 committee giving insight into ginni thomas' interview. >> she didn't assert privilege, so at least not while i was present, so she did answer the questions that we had. she says, for example, i generally don't talk about my day-to-day activities, well, that leaves a lot of wiggle room. generally means there may be exceptions and da

there in mind the words of clarence thomas. he said the right to privacy and all that stuff, what about the right to marry who you want to marry? what about the right to contraception? these people are ready to strike down your right to contraception. imagine the cops who will be knocking on peoples doors to find out whether they have birth control pills. this is an assault on everyone's freedom. make no mistake about it. he did not mention interracial marriage. funny. but don't doubt for a moment that -- until 1968, 16 states said it was illegal for a black person and a white person -- for a white person to marry anybody unless they were white. they let us brown people marry whoever we wanted but they did not want to mess with the purity of the area and race. the bottom line is we are in a moment where we have to use up our power and we want to use it in connection with you. i will just say this, martin luther king never held any elective office. you don't have to be in office to wield power. but you do need to be working in c

the next hearing, they are going to interfere ginny thomas, the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomasrn the election. joining us now is white house correspondent ali mctally, and they have emails from ginni thomas to other persons. >> and yes, it is why they asked her to come in voluntarily to come in to speak to them, and so we have been asked over the course of the months when she is going to be coming in, and chairman thomas said she had a legitimate excuse for not coming in, and now they have reached an excuse to come in to talk to them in the coming week, and the emails that they have pertain to efforts to overturn the election results and conversations with john eastman of the trump administration and the architecture of the course of the course of the investigation that they want to talk to her, and finally the opportunity as it comes that they are about to be back in the public spotlight and just about in under a week to do the public hearing, and it is information that we have not heard or seen, and that the threats that are leading to the violence that day are still current

she is the weight, of course, of supreme court justice clarence thomas. s back in the news, this time for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election in another state. the washington post learned thomas emails republican lawmakers in wisconsin, pressing them to overturn then president elect biden's 2020 victory. according to the post, the emails she reportedly sent on nearly identical to the ones that she sent to arizona officials, when she urged them to deny the will of the voters and throw the election to donald trump. and if that were not enough, there is also the matter of her allegedly texting then white house chief of staff mark meadows, we urging him to keep fighting to overturn the results. thomas later expressed anger at mike pence's refusal to intervene to keep trump in office, reportedly texting meadows we are living through what feels like the end of america. lots to unpack there -- let's bring back our saturday night panel. john, i will start with you, with the sound of ginni thomas from 2016, which he had a different opinion on allowing a

clarence thomas's wife. ginni thomas. and while chairman bennie thompson wouldn't tell me when that interview would take place. he said that there is no rush to have this take place before wednesdays hearing. but he said that he knows that this testimony will be significant because of the firsthand knowledge of so many topics that we have already seen in percent in past hearings. and lastly, that the committee is now having access to this thread that a arizona judge granted access to an arizona chairwoman of the republican party. access to her phone records to the committee. she was one of over 80 of these so-called fake electors that the committee subpoenaed earlier. so it's going to be interesting to see how this new information could possibly make it into this next hearing, or possibly into this final interim report that the committee is expected to release over the next few months. >> our allie raffa. thank you so much for being with us live on capitol hill this morning. so that many investigations into donald trump a

so i think that it was an ethics violation for clarence thomas to previously rule on issues relating to these investigations, including in the trump v. thompson case, revelation of documents that bear upon this investigation. he should step away. but we know he probably won't and, unfortunately, the decision is up to him. that makes no sense at all. >> sara murray, evan perez, jeff eisen, thank you all. >>> hiring in the u.s. is beginning to slow but today's job reports signals the overall market remains strong. 315,000 jobs were added in august, slightly beating economists' expectations, but that was far below july's blockbuster report. the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.7%. president biden celebrated the numbers this morning and highlighted the positive signs for the u.s. economy. >> the bottom line is jobs are up, wages are up, people are back to work, and we're seeing some signs that inflation may be -- may be, i'm not over-promising, may be beginning to ease. >> cnn business correspondent rahel solomon is here, as well as business journalist mark stewart. great to see both of
