jeffrey clark testified to the committee today.ey general at the time, jeffrey rosen, refused to send a letter that jeffrey clark wrote to georgia officials telling the lie that the justice department was investigating election fraud in georgia. there was a showdown in the oval office over that letter, between the acting attorney general, jeffrey rosen and justice department official jeffrey clark, who had absolutely no jurisdiction over these issues. luckily for americans, jeffrey clark lost that argument in the oval office in front of donald trump. the former acting attorney general, jeffrey rosen, has already told everything he knows to the january six committee and some reporters. today it was jeffrey clark's turn to testify under oath about what we already know were his attempts to commit election fraud for and with donald trump. we do not know whatever clark said in his hour and 40 minutes long testimony to the committee. but here is everything jeffrey clark said when he was leaving the building. >> mr. clark, did you invoke

clark in contempt, but they paused those proceedings, after jeff clark said he intended to also plead fifth. just like the oath keepers guy. he said he intended to assert his fifth amendment rights against self-incrimination. the investigators planned to give him back a second time to give him a chance to plead the fifth, that was postponed several times due to medical reasons on jeff clark's part but today he showed up and seen entering the capitol today to meet with the january 6th investigation, everyone else wearing a mask but not him. he was there, not long, like i said, stuart rhodes from jail mostly taking the fifth was testifying six hours and jeff clark was there not even two hours. led to speculation that he used most if not all of that time just pleading the fifth but we don't know. joining us now is maryland congressman jamie raskin a member of the january 6th investigation in congress. congressman, thank you for being here today. thank you. >> hi, rachel, good to see you. all i know about mr. rhodes and mr. clark testifying today is from public reporting which i mostly ju

we're joined by cnn's john king along with forwesley clark. the u.s. is deeply concerned that kyiv, the capital, could fall to the russians within a few days. >> i'll show you why and also use the map, the value of the map. the great live reporting from our bravest correspondents. in kyiv, the capital under assault. sam kiley and others have been here. kharkiv. and the arrows down here, the scope of this shows you the russians are quite serious. you hear from the pentagon and ukrainians about the resistance, you also hear the russians are accelerating their attack on the entire country. this is about the size of texas. amphibious infantry is the russian jargon for marines coming in here and ground troops from crimea toward the donbas. and then you move up here. there's fighting down here and then kyiv, the capital. obviously seizing the state of power would be critical. i want to bring us in closer to this. yesterday our matthew chance said he left kyiv and went up here to the northwest to antonov airport. he believed they were special operations force

jeffrey clark testified. what do we know? >> reporter: he testified, anderson, meaning he was in the room. but he didn't answer too many questions. in fact, we're told for the one hour and 40 minutes that he was in there, he pled the fifth more than 100 times to the questions that were asked of him by the january 6 select committee. this doesn't really come as a surprise. clark has been facing a criminal contempt referral by the committee. and right before they were set to vote on it by the entire house, he informed them that he was planning to plead the fifth. the question now is how does the committee handle that criminal contempt referral. representative zoe lofgren suggested they offer him an immunity deal, suggesting any question he answers could then be not used against him in a criminal investigation. that's just one option on the table. but at this point, anderson, they're getting no answers from clark, who they consider to be an important witness in this investigation. >> what about the former aides to mike pence who

imagine if they did what jeffrey clark wanted them to do.magine if jefrry rosen, who was the acting a.g. at the time, went along with that. you would have had doj's official seal, which carries so much weight, behind this election fraud lie. so jeffrey clark is one of the worst actors in this whole thing, and if he took the fifth he's smart to do so. >> and now from jeffrey clark, andrew, to -- did you want to elaborate on that before i ask you a question? >> no. i think elie's exactly right. i think it's also a crafty move to avoid getting referred to doj to be indicted for failing to cooperate with the committee. he clearly did technically cooperate with the committee. he came in, he invoked his constitutional rights. the committee's not going to go after him. this doj certainly not going to go after him for lying -- you know, invoking his constitutional rights. i think he avoided any potential problems in that regard. >> stewart rhodes, he's a former -- he's an oath keepers leader, and he testified to the committee from jail today. he and

clarke, thanks for coming back. what worries you the most?g that, number one, cyberwar against us. and number two, disinformation war, lifting up their dukes to stage violent protests in the united states for masks and vaccines and other excuses. they can attack us in the united states using cybertools. they already have in the past. that list of 16 areas that biden gave them is their target list. you remember when russians allegedly, not the government, russians shut down the colonial gas pipeline, just a few months ago. that's just afore taste of what could happen. >> would it, should it, trigger article 5? >> well, nato has said as recently as this week, the head of nato, mr. stoltenberg has said that it would. the attack on one using cyberwar techniques would be an attack on all. the united states has said, we will consider a cyber attack based on the magnitude of its effects. and we will not necessarily respond to a cyber attack with a cyber attack. our policy, our declared policy is, if it's a big enough attack on us and it hurts us, we

i want to bring in general wesley clark. thank you so much. we appreciate you joining. >> good to be with you. >> let's talk about russia has an estimated 130,000 troops along ukraine's border, and pentagon spokesperson john kirby says that putin has added at least a half dozen landing ships in the black sea with the purpose of putting troops onshore. they are talking diplomacy but advancing into attack positions. >> right. this is a moment of maximum pressure against ukraine. so he's got the military machine moving. he's moving it to its attack position. the world is on edge. people in ukraine are starting to take this seriously. it could be very damaging. what he wants is the collapse of the government in ukraine or president zelensky say, we give up on nato, or please accept us as your friends, russia. i don't think that's going to happen. president zelensky has stood very firm, and mr. putin's running out of time. that was the reason why i believe foreign minister lavrov did a public conference with putin, was to sort of extend the clock,

joyce, what are they asking jeffrey clark today? >> well, i suspect they want a full accounting for what went on at the justice department in final days of the trump administration, particularly now that we've learned that the former attorney general bill barr stepped down just as these proposed orders that would have had d ofrmtsd or doj or dhs seizing voting machines, just as those were going into circulation. so a wide range of questions for clark who is, of course, a lawyer, who appreciates the fact that he can't just exert a blanket privilege and must show up and answer questions individually, the big outstanding question is whether this was a cooperative session and he's decided to share the truth with investigators or whether this amounted to a lot of i don't remember and i'm taking the fifth amendment. >> maya, the panel alleges clark stoked fear and election misinformation. if he doesn't talk -- that is a possibility -- what happens then? >> of course, the committee has to take the decision about whether they're going to as

jeff clark was there not even two hours. today that he must have used most if not all of that time just pleading the fifth. but we do not know. joining us now is congressman jeremy raskin, he is a member of the january 6th -- it's nice to see you. >> hi, rachel, good to see you. >> so, all i know about mr. rhodes and mr. clark testifying today's public reporting. is there anything you can add to that that you are able to tell us? >> not in specific detail, but i can report to you that the committee is making remarkable progress, given donald trump's continuing obstructionism and encouragement of others not to participate. we are really filling in the picture of what happened in the events leading up to january 6th on the day itself and we are looking at how of all these various actors were motivated and activated by trump to try to overthrow the election. >> one of the things that has been reported this week, based on your financial filings, is that it appears that former president trump, his pack sort of inexplicably dumped

clark.the former doj official who pushed the election reversal scheme and we're told he pleaded the fifth over 100 times. but one committee member tells us they might have a way to make him talk. listen. >> one of the options the committee needs to look at is whether we provide use immunity to mr. clark. what that means is that the testimony you give to the committee could not be used in the criminal case. if the justice department finds out about it some other way, they're not precluded from proceeding. >> norm, do you think it's worth offering immunity to clark or anyone else? >> i do think that statutory immunity should be considered so we can get to the truth of what mr. clark has to say as one of the inside lawyers, perhaps the leading one inside the government pushing for the overthrow of a legitimate election. ana, the reason that this statutory provision exists, most necessary when somebody asserts the fifth amendment and clark does have a legitimate reason to be concerned about pros

cameras caught clark entering the meeting room. two months after they voted to hold him in contempt. >> he pushed false claims of voter fraud. what could the committee learn from him? >> the committee doesn't have high expectations and from what we can tell, it didn't last long. they left the building only about 1:40 after it began. he plans to plead the fifth to every question they asked. they voted to hold him in criminal contempt of congress. that led to him saying he would plead the fifth. this leaves a gray area with clark. they had not taken it to the full house. i asked if today's proceeding would play a big role in whether or not they would take that step and he said that it would. they have been very accommodating with clark and had to see how everything turned out today. we don't have a read out on meeting but it seems very unlikely that clark provided any information that the committee was looking for. >> thank you. >>> a bombshell lawsuit in the nfl today recently fired miami dolphins head coach accuses the league of ra

clark testifying today is from public reporting which i mostly just summarized. is there anything that you can add to that you're able to tell us about that testimony today? >> well, not in specific detail but i can report to you that the committee is making remarkable progress, given donald trump's continuing obstructionism and encouragement of others not to participate. we're really filling in the picture of what happened in the events leading up to january 6th, on the day itself, and we're looking at how all of these various actors were motivated and activated by trump to try to overthrow the election. >> one of the things that has been reported this week, based on the financial filings that came in at the end of the

general clark, as you know, u.s. intelligence estimates now say that putin has about 70% of the military personnel and weapons on ukraine's border he would need for a full-scale invasion. but u.s. intelligence also indicates that russian officials have doubts about whether or not a full-scale invasion would work. where do you see things standing at this moment? >> i see president putin looking at this as an operation in three phases. the first phase is to build up forces and extract as much discord and as many concessions from nato and ukraine as possible. second phase is, depending on how the first phase works, go in big. use that great-armed forces he has built. he's got incredible weaponry now. he's got things we don't have at our arsenal. we could not stop this if we deployed the u.s. military there the way it's organized. he has got electronic warfare, jamming cyber, he's got a nuke hear weapons capability standing by. he's got the ability to gain air supremacy over ukraine. so, will this -- this could be really

joining us now is cnn military analyst general wesley clark, the former nato supreme allied commander. great to have you here. because we're seeing these examples of bravery from the ukrainian military, do you fear that some in the west are becoming overly optimistic about what the battle against russia is going to be? >> well they're not going to be optimistic. the fight really hasn't been joined in the kyiv area, yet. these are advantaged attachments that are moving into the area. they try to go in at night, disrupt the defense, and take out key targets and assassinate people. buts in not the real attack. this is to prevent kyiv from defending itself. what the ukrainians are doing is, they're going out from kyiv and they're intercepting these conveys. they know about the convey, we showed the picture of it, and they say they'll deal with it. so this is a real fight. but here is the key. we've got to keep the replenishments coming to the ukrainian military. how they get in, i don't know and we probably shouldn't know. but they've got to be provided. the javelin missiles, the stingers

that is jeffrey clark, former trump official.ee has been waiting months, i understand, for his testimony. >> reporter: that's right. jeffrey clark met with the committee today, two months after they voted to hold him in contempt. he's key to the panel's invest investigation. he was one of the officials within the trump justice department pushing to pursue the claims of fraud in the 2020 election. no word on whether he pleaded the fifth as he said he would. the committee voted in december to hold him in contempt, then paused to give him the chance to come in. and his level of cooperation today will play a big role in determining whether they will refer him to the justice department for possible criminal contempt charges. and the national archives saying they will turn over documents from former vice president mike pence. this comes as top pence staffers have been talking to investigators. >> at the same time, paula, one of the january 6th committee members now says former president trump is witness tampering by dangling pardons. d

so i do want to ask you about former doj official jeffrey clark. he was a key player in the plot to overturn the 2020 election. he met with the committee this week. he pleaded the fifth more than 100 times. the panel already voted to hold clark in contempt last year for his lack of cooperation. they paused on moving that referral forward until they met with him again. any expectation? what do you think might happen now? >> well, there was a suggestion the other day that they may immunize him, that congress may give him immunity. and i'm finding that troubling. you know, i'm sure the select committee is working closely with doj, that they're in communications. but any time that congress gives immunity, that basically forwards doj from later bringing the case or at least potentially does so. so the fact of the matter is and i don't know if they're seriously considering immunizing clark, but if they do, that will undermine doj's efforts to charge him if that turns out to be what they ought to do. so i hope they think long and hard about this. i hope d

what do you know about jeffrey clark's meeting with the committee?s than two hours, anderson, so i'm going to say that he did not cooperate very much and that it is likely he took the fifth a lot. i -- i do think it's important, just for context, look, jeffrey clark is not a household name. but he is critical in this investigation because he was working apparently hand-in-hand with trump to try to overturn the election. he was trying to bring the justice department into this. i want to say one thing about taking the fifth, and that is, that would not have come as a surprise to the committee today when he showed up. my understanding is that they formulate very specific questions and that it can be equally revealing -- maybe not equally revealing, but revealing and interesting when a witness won't answer a question. >> i think you're also paying close attention to developments involving the former vice president. we know the committee has been interesting in speaking to him. do we know where tonight those negotiations stand? >> i think they're still ne

general clark, u.s.re that russia probably amassed the range he put was 169,000 to 190,000 troops near ukraine. just thinking almost 200,000 troops in the region. what does this troop level mean to you? >> it means they're fully capable of executing a number of different options or several options simultaneously against ukraine. coming in from the north and attempt to seize, they can launch out of crimea to open up the land bridge and get the water resources. they can invade from the sea or come out of donbas. many options. >> you were nato supreme allied commander for europe when russia invaded crimea and the donbas region in eastern ukraine previously. ukraine said overnight that the shelling has not stopped in the donbas region and it is much more than the back and forth that they kind of have seen for a while now. they're also saying though, that they won't be provoked. at least that's what they're saying. but can they continue to not respond, do you think? >> well, they're going to be patient, i thi

and they gave tom clark initially something of alakija in the department of justice. he worked his way up. what he might've lacked in perhaps academic ability, he certainly made up for in work ethic. and he became truman's attorney general and became very successful in being an aggressive attorney general. in part because he recognized that he was not the best lawyer in the building. so what he did was manage the department of justice and say, what can we do to advance the administration's agenda? now, we expect that of our attorneys general. the president certainly expects it of the attorney general. but at the time, prior that, the attorney general had generally been what we think of now as -- at least us lawyers think of now, as a solicitor lawyer. with incredible credentials. now, you can -- president trump had jeff sessions and there. carrying out his agenda. president george w. bush had alberta gonzales. none of those are great, incredible legal minds. they were affected though for the time in which they were there in carrying out the presidents agenda. and that

clark coming.sident pence's chief of staff. and so the committee is working quietly but diligently and really building a case or building a sphere of what happened, the context of january 6th that really started, we know now, in november with president trump trying to buy time in hopes of overturning the results of the general election. >> and remarkable success, i would argue, getting pretty high up the trump chain of command and the trump inner circle. i'm not sure if we have lisa back. the chairman just yesterday, the chairman just yesterday saying he still hopes the committee sent a letter to ivanka trump. we know from other testimony that ivanka trump was among those that went into the office on january 6th begging her father to try to do more to stop it. he would not do so. in the committee's letter back in january, they said they wish to discuss conversations you observed between president trump and pence the morning of january 6th and the other conversations you may have witnessed or partic

you mentioned jeffrey clark.s known through, i believe, testimony first to the senate judiciary committee from then acting a.g. jeffrey rosen. we learned of a letter that jeffrey clark wanted the acting a.g. -- the acting attorney general to send to overturn the results. there's also, i think, the u.s. attorney was pushed out or fired or quit. your point is that those pieces of evidence alone, never mind the other six states in which a plan was committed to paper, and fake electors submitted their fake slates to congress, makes clear, reveals at least probable cause to investigate that effort, the state-by-state effort to overturn the election. and then the second piece seems to be the most disturbing of all, that the 1/6 committee is now potentially engaged in conversations to grant immunity to their witnesses, something they would not do because that investigation, ostensibly, includes u.s. attorneys and people that could at least call over and say, hey, is this going to mess you up? your sense is that if we se

trump also reportedly considered installing clark as acting a. g. but decided against it, only when other officials threatened to resign. the january 6th committee voted to hold clark in contempt back in december after he walked out of the meeting with investigators the previous month. former president trump may have suggested pardons fort january 6th protesters during a rally last weekend but a new report finds that he first floated the idea before he even left office. two sources tell "politico" that trump seriously considered issuing a blanket pardon in the final days of his presidency. trump reportedly made three calls to an adviser between january 6th and january 20th, to inquire about doing so. according to one of those sources, trump asked aides if he should pardon, quote, everybody that had a trump sign or everybody who walked into the capitol. meanwhile, the "washington post" points out that trump's suggestion of pardons will make it far less likely for any january 6th defendant to cooperate with investigators, attorneys, or at trial. the p

. >> and joining us now, cnn military analyst wesley clark, nato's supreme allied commander and now a senior fellow at ucla berkeley center. so a town on ukraine's southern coast has fallen today, possibly a small naval base there, how significant a rugssian victory s this? >> really significant, in some cases, some troops you pulled out of small towns to prevent destruction, so that's not significant. the big battles are in kyiv and kharkiv and what we have to understand is the ukrainian resistance is phenomenal, brilliant. you got really great morale, spirit, training, these ukrainians want to fight russia, push them back and are determined to do so but thus far haven't met the main body of the russian force. that long convoy was part of the main body we saw just a moment ago. the main body slogan in part because at the top level, i think vladimir putin didn't want to put all its main forces in there. i think he could believe he wanted to intimidate and scare them to death putting the forward detachments in, well that didn't work. also, the ground is not cooperating. it's -- it shou

for more on this, let's talk to former nato supreme ally commander, general wesley clark. general clark, i'm wondering if you could respond to what president zelensky said in the sound that alex was playing that panic is the enemy that they're fighting right now. before any real fighting breaks out. >> i agree with president. it is the enemy. panic is. on the other hand, have to appreciate the position the united states is in. we have the intelligence. secondly, we want to make sure our americans that are there are safe and that our nato allies are completely warned and prepared to follow through on the sanctions if russia does attack. so ukraine's a docemocracy. you have to listen to the politics of the democracy as well as doing what's smart. so there are often divergences in leader's opinions. it doesn't mean we're not solidly behind ukraine. >> of course. and putin agreed to speak to both biden and the french president macron today. do you think that is a positive sign? i mean, should we be, you know, holding out hope that maybe diplomacy does still have a chance here
