let's introduce you to kentucky's attorney general, who's a republican name, daniel cameron.ficers involved with obtaining a warrant, or for dahler's death. this is one of the officers, for accidentally firing into taylor's neighbor's apartment. he was later acquitted. now, cameron says, it was a grand jury's decision to not charge anyone else, and that is technically true. but members of the grand jury, since come public to say, cameron's office, basically, left them no choice, as the associated press reports, three of the jury's alleged, quote, cameron staff limited their scope, and did not give them an opportunity to consider homicide charges, against the police, in taylor's death. cameron is not just a state attorney general, he is a rising star in republican party politics. he is a protegee of republican senate leader, mitch mcconnell. cameron is, widely, seen as a leading voice to replace mcconnell, as kentucky's next senator, whenever mcconnell, who is 80, decides to leave office. cameron was a speaker at the 2020 republican national convention, a gig offered to young

earlier i said that the kentucky attorney general daniel cameron spoke today about how the actions ofn the death of breonna taylor's were justified. i want to be clear the timing we said was incorrect. he actually made those comments not today, not even this year but in september of 2020. >>> all right. let's turn to a much different story, one that might give you a little bit of a smile this friday or at least an appetite for a certain snack. >> goldfish, if you're seeing this i think we need to create this flavor. dill pickle, shout out to us. >> cheers. >> yum! >> so, look, this mother-daughter duo is just one of many and i mean many tiktokers going viral for relishing -- i didn't write that -- for relishing in this year's hit flavor dill pickle. some are adding powered pickle seasoning to all kinds of foods at home. pickled potato chips even pickled infused falafel, and wait for it pickle pizza, what started out as a novelty is now a big dill. badump-ump. i'm here all week. try the fish, people. first of all, have you tried the sorts of crazy flavors? do we have these sorts of mom

remember, kentucky's republican attorney general daniel cameron had declined to seek state or commonwealth cnn's jessica schneider now live with more. what are these four defendants being charged with? >> jake, none of the charges involve the officers who shot and killed breonna taylor. instead, three of the four officers are charged with falsifying information that provided the basis for the search warrant of taylor's apartment, specifically the officers said that someone involved in the drug trafficking operation they were investigating received packages at taylor's home and that's something that prosecutors say that the officers knew was false. and the indictment even accuses two of the officers of not just falsifying the affidavit, but then conspiring to lie about it afterwards, even meeting in a garage two months later where know fwroed to tell investigators a fake story. the last officer charged was at the scene of the botched police raid but officials say that he used unconstitutionally excessive force when he fired ten shots into the side window of taylor's apartment. that officer,

he was ultimately acquitted of that and now charged again, but what about daniel cameron? significance? he is running for governor next year. >> to be governor, even to run for gornor, he clearly did a disservice. what we want an investigation into is what it daniel cameron no? where did you get the information? what did he share with the grand jury? how can it be the federal government and state government are so far apart on this case? we are concerned he is either incompetent or in collusion. we are not sur theeople do deserve -- all of these people, all of these officers of the court are sworn to uphold and seek justice. and in this case in kentucky, everybody who had an opportunity to do the right thing, including our attorney general, failed. we are extremely thankful for the fbi keeping their eye on the ball of the department of justice. we have been talking a lot about this incestuous relationship between police and prosecutors across the country, see the failure to prosecute police, the failure to hold them accountable. so we have not really seen the changes that

daniel cameron, the kentucky ag daniel cameron, who is now running for governor, at the time this news broke, rvs federal charges, he, on twitter, had posted a viral a video where he was invited people to offer him one liners, jokes he could put in some campaign speeches. that's what he was doing when this news was coming down. again, and the doj today lived up to their mission to stepien and protect the rights of the american people when state officials either failed or refused to. and so now the doj, under merrick garland and kristen clark, brought federal charges that george floyd case, federal charges in the ahmaud arbery case, and now they brought charges in the breonna taylor case. the first time the doj has ever brought federal charges against police office for the killing of a black woman. >> neil, i see you nodding. want to weigh in? >> absolutely. i agree very much with what jeff is saying. the timing, it has been so long for this. she was killed on march 13th, 2020. we have the george floyd murder two months later, on may 25th 2020. and yet we have already, in that case, bro

they waited on the state investigation from attorney general daniel cameron.tisfied with that. they see today's civil rights acti from the department of justice as the justice they aren't likely to get at a state or local level. i think within the community, you see a lot more, i don't want to say happiness because this he is certainly not a happy situation, but a lot more people who are pleased with this move, that the federal government is involved, the department of justice is involved. in the united states, with the department of justice gets involved, that is a silencing no -- that is a solid signal to those being charged that you are going to do time. kasia: a heat wave in iraq is seen temperatures above0 degrees celsius, some cities declared the hottest lace on earth. in baghdad, temperatures were 49 degrees celsius and rose to 53 degrees in basra, where the entire province has declared a four-day holiday. state employees in central and southe iraq up been given the day off work. but for many, the situation is made worse by regular hour cuts that make a

the federal government had the guts to do with daniel cameron did not move the map. these, instead, the kentucky attorney general's office showed in this case, shows a his political career news. the in now i recorded, he couldn't go out representing the constituents in the state of kentucky. a cassie is shown that he is mad for us. he is about south a thank you. i thank you for that. i need a bank of the national bar association. oh, it is so profound that 4 offices have been charged and the links as president baker said that the federal government went through to dot every i and cross every t. it's not something that we have seen historically done on behalf of black people, especially black women. i can't think of our justice department been disc committed to civil rights since robert kennedy and the civil rights movement were filed, martin luther king and john lewis. so this is a historic day on every level. and you think about the fact that they have plenty of me overwhelming proof that these officers not jas was negligently execute and, and no not warrant but to

producers to pull the soundbite, because when i watched the press conference today, i thought of daniel cameronhen he declined to call, what happened to breonna, a crime. saying, the only crime was that officers, accidentally, shot bullets into the home of one white neighbor, not the other neighbors, just the white neighbor. here is what he said back then, about the decision to not invite. >> detective cosgrove, insurgent mattingly, were justified and returning fire, because they were fired upon. i understand that is a black man. how painful it is. criminal law is not meant to respond to every sorrow, and grief, and that is true here. >> let me read you what he said today, about the officer supporting the ministry of justice. it is important people do not conflate what happened today with the state law investigation by our office. our task was to investigate where the officers who executed the search warrant were criminally responsible for miss taylor's death under state law. it shocks me that the attorney general of the state of kentucky would believe it was not his job is allowing those offic

the first thing i will say is thank god that kentucky attorney general daniel cameron did not get the to justice for breonna taylor! [applause] >> laura: your response? >> this is not justice. for benjamin crump, this is a payday. he's actually saying thank god we can get more money out of the situation because none of this is going to bring breonna taylor back to life, and i think this should be pleasant young people watching and even if you are older, you should not be involved in criminal activity. it lived by the gun, you die by the gun. he had she had no business being involved with glover, i'm pretty sure people told her to leave him alone in this never would've happened. it's sad but all people do is chase the ambulance and it is just disheartening. >> laura: thank you for joining us, great to see you. a hostage video shown live on cnn? the last bite, we'll explain. ♪ ♪ as someone with hearing loss i know what a confusing and frustrating experience getting hearing aids can be. that's why i founded lively. affordable, high-quality hearing aids with all of the features you need,

and you heard the reference to daniel cameron who was the state attorney general in kentucky who presented the case to a grand jury but never presented any evidence to the grand jury that could have led them to convict or prosecute the officers. the only case that came out was recklessly firing into a neighbor's apartment. what i think was most angering about the case is that breonna taylor was asleep in her home at 12:40 a.m. in the morning when this happened for people in the community could not understand how you could be killed under those kind of circumstances and no one held responsible. another justice department is trying to do that. >> a big thanks to you. and to our intelligence correspondent, thank you. >> the senate back in session today. the arizona democrat, kyrsten sinema, the only undeclared democrat about the big package on climate and prescription drug cost relief that the democrats and the white house are pushing. we have senator kyrsten sinema presiding over the senate. the legal. they finally talked. who now? >> will be assumed is what they did not want in the package.

but the first thing i will say is thank god that kentucky attorney general daniel cameron did not gettice for breonna taylor! >> paul, in your mind what do today's charges say about accountability and about justice in cases that involve police officers? >> it says that who's in office or who holds the presidency makes a difference. these are not charges that a trump administration justice department would have brought. so credit has to go to the civil rights division and to attorney general merrick garland for having the strength to bring this case, which is far from a slam dunk, especially considering that the one officer who was charged at the state level was found not guilty. it's also important to remember, joe, that the department is also investigating the police department of louisville to make sure that they are operating in a way that's consistent with civil rights. the evidence suggests that they're not. and those kinds of investigations typically result in settlements that have more of an impact on policing than criminal prosecutions of individual officers. what these new ch

daniel cameron never followed up on this. he took the investigation off to the feds.ied about a search warrant or not. this is monumental. no, officers do not usually talk about officers. some of the more flippant. but in this particular case maybe she was doing this to save herself. at the same time, this is one of what is becoming several transfer officers who are being held accountable by the department of justice. >> what you just said, there this is becoming one of which is becoming several trends. and one is never a trend on its own, but we have seen in various cases, in the unjust killings of black people, something that looks like accountability. it is never justice, because not just somebody is dead. if somebody is dead, they are not coming back to life. and that would be justice if they weren't stuck in the first place. but this accountability, this little drops of accountability across the board, starting with george floyd and ahmaud arbery and breonna taylor, did they make black lives safer in this country? are we moving that needle a little bit? >> well,

thank god that kentucky attorney general daniel cameron did not get the last word. >> that's right. >ards to justice for breonna taylor. >> now, breonna taylor's family says that she's waited 874 days for this moment, for these charges to be brought. worth pointing out the attorney general says this is only the beginning of the prosecution. this is an allegation. we don't yet know whether this will actually go to trial or whether these officers will plead, alisyn. >> okay, josh campbell, thank you very much. back to discuss all this, we have cnn legal analyst areva martin and cnn senior legal analyst elie honig. what do you see here? >> this means that doj believes that breonna taylor's death was not the result of just some tragic accident but was the result of criminal conduct by four louisville police officers. that's enormously significant. now, there are two types of charges here. three of the officers are charged with like on the affidavit that they put in to get a search warrant. they said, we saw packages going into that home, which was used to support an allegation that there

daniel cameron indicted only one officer in connection to the raid.ry. but now hawkinson is charged under the federal indictment with the private taylor or boyfriend and three neighbors of the right by blindly firing ten bullets through a window and sliding glass doors. according to the new york times. and three other officers are charged with knowingly including false information in an affidavit. not what you suggest to find the raid. attorney general merrick garland said this about their alleged responsibility for taylor's killing. >> we, alleged defendants through their actions and falsifying the affidavit could create a dangerous situation. and we allege the unlawful access they resulted in missed a loose death. >> taylor's mother said she was waiting a long time for officers to be held accountable for her daughter's death. >> oh they do, it still hurts. i have waited 874 days for today. >> 874 days, sometimes as the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied. but sometimes justice delayed is still justice. coming up, a big celebration in the

they wanted action, they waited on local state of message and from daniel cameron, and they weren't satisfiedhis is certainly not a happy situation, but a lot more people who are pleased with this movement of the federal government. the department of justice is involved. when that happens, that's a pretty solid signal to those being indicted or charged that you're going to do sometime, that the federal government takes civil rights violations very seriously. when you look at the louisville police department, already under a full—blown investigation, these four officers may very well be poster children for cracking down on things like trying to falsify a document or aggressive force. 50. like trying to falsify a document or aggressive force.— aggressive force. so, a pretty stronr aggressive force. so, a pretty strong message _ aggressive force. so, a pretty strong message there. i aggressive force. so, a pretty strong message there. will. aggressive force. so, a pretty i strong message there. will clark, thank you very much for speaking to us. lots more on our website about that statement. sti
