the white house deputy chief of staff rick dearborn, he appeared before your committee. he answered all of the committee's questions. so the white house won't let bannon and former campaign manager docorwin lewandowski do the same thing dick durbin did? >> they have more terrible things to say about what took place. the white house is is more concerned about what certain people have to say. so obviously they know him from more information that would be damaging to the white house's case. what's frustrating here, and we just pointed it out, there were other witnesses who have refused to answer critical questions, right? mr. sessions, trump jr., eric prince, all questions essential to know what exactly took place. the majority was unwilling to snap up that subpoena like they did with mr. bannon. as i said yesterday, apparently only steve bannon can unite that committee. >> what about corwin lewandowski, the former trump campaign manager? he refused to answer your questions as well, and yet you did not issue a subpoena to him. why? >> the only answer they gave back was the

rick dearborn appeared before the panel and said he had no restrictions.awmakers described him as cooperative. former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski, also interviewed yesterday, he would not talk about the campaign or conversations he had with the president. he claimed he was not prepared and would come back, which is strange because the day before, he said he was going and ready to answer anything and everything. this morning, another intelligence committee member threatened more subpoenas could be on the horizon. >> looks like they're selectively choosing who can tell us what in an effort to protect the president. we have additional executive branch witnesses coming in. if they're going to decide what they can tell us and what they won't, we should have the will to subpoena him. otherwise, we'll have an incomplete investigation. >> joining us now is a senior fellow at brookings and legal analyst. after a former friend -- current friend of james comey. good to see you. thank you for being with us, benjamin. >> happy to be here. >> does it appear

they did not assert executive privilege for rick dearborn.sanders's statements seem disingenuous. >> you have to imagine that some of the trump lawyers were horrified by this. they have a client who is under investigation for obstruction of justice, they would not want him near this kind of maneuvering and trying to control what someone says in a committee hearing. >> this is another thing for bob mueller to look at, frankly. he's building a case of obstruction of justice against the president, and what we've seen from the public behavior and his twitter account, he basically incriminated himself when he said he fired michael flynn because he spoke to the fib. this is getting trump in bigger trouble than he needs to be in. >>> the reports specify that trump talked to the deputy white house council not the white house counsel, because don mcgahn is a client of the same lawyer that represents steve bannon. so we imagine steve bannon on the phone with his other client at the white house. apparently that's not how it works. >> it is complicated w

committee, the first man to run the donald trump for president campaign, corey lewandowski and rick dearborn both testified on the russia scandal, and like steve bannon yesterday, corey lewandowski, reportedly refused to answer some of the committee's questions today. that's part of how we know that something really important and something really different is going on when it comes to steve bannon and the mueller investigation and the russia scandal overall. yesterday, the big news we were trying to sort out last night is the fact that steve bannon went into that house intelligence committee, refused to answer questions and was hit with a subpoena to try to compel him to answer their questions. that's an unusual occurrence, and part of the reason we know how unusual that is is because corey lewandowski walked into that same committee. he also apparently refused to answer their questions, but they didn't subpoena him. the way they subpoenaed steve bannon. there wasn't word that the committee demanded to have him back in to ask him the questions in a harsher tone. like previous officials who h

we didn't see that today with rick dearborn, where he did answer questions. sources tell me that the answers weren't terribly substantive, so maybe that was the reason why he was okay answering those questions. we're still trying to figure out where the parameters are of this. it's a big battle right now between the house intel and the white house. >> barbara, you're the lawyer here. everybody's tossing around executive privilege. who has the right to do that? and is that any shield for steve bannon to avoid questions in a house intel committee hearing? >> well, it's really interesting because there is not a lot of case law on executive privilege. you know, it comes about only under extraordinary circumstances. it doesn't get tested a lot. so no one really knows exactly what the boundaries are. but traditionally the president needs to proactively assert it if he wants to shield someone from testifying about some matter. and it's very narrow. it's about deliberative processes. not everything that happened in the white house, or in the transition. and so i thin

bannon lewandowski, dearborn. what did we learn?we learned the white house and former aides to the white house are going to continue to assert these really farfetched claims. in this case, it was executive privilege. we saw months ago donald trump jr. came up and asserted a farfetched claim of attorney/client privilege. i think what we're about to find out is whether there's any political will in the house committee to try and enforce their right to receive answers from these witnesses. i think we're going to find out when hope hicks goes out and testifies, she's willing to talk about what happened during the campaign but won't answer questions about this key event on air force one where the president dictated a statement we know is misleading. >> if you add her in as the four, as the forth, you could argue, she's the one who would be most loyal, yeah? >> yes, i think so. she's the one that's still at the white house. she's the one there from the beginning. steve bannon came and went. corey lewandowski was there at the beginning. sh

do you think you will get any more today out of rick dearborn or corey lewandowsky, who will be appearing>> as you might imagine we have other witnesses that are or were at the white house that were in the transition is. if the claim of privilege is used with those witnesses too, i will tell you we will come to a grinding health. the thing that is puzzling, the president said there is absolutely no wrongdoing here and yet is instructing all of these people not to be forth coming or be forth coming with the investigative committee. this is really going to slow the whole process. >> let's move on to some of those things. do you think the government will shut down on friday? >> i feel like i'm seeing the same movie for the 20th time. the dance steps are so predictable. yesterday the republicans who run this place say they have a deal that will allow the government to remain open for some period of time, three weeks. and the freedom caucus says, guess what, you don't have the votes. what it points to is something that i would embrace and a lot of people would embrace. for god's sake, let's st

democrats point out that there was another interview yesterday with rick dearborn who's the deputy chieff staff at the white house and there was no attempt by the white house or even his own counsel to refuse to answer the same kind of questions that steve bannon was. the question now, with hope hick, who's obviously a very key player in the congressional investigation. also with special counsel mueller's investigation, would she attempt to reserve the right to invoke executive privilege on behalf of the president to refuse the same testimony. democrats are going to be very interested to see whether that takes place. there seems to be one standard with steve bannon that the white house is applying. >> i want to play something that eric swalwell said this morning. member of the house intel committee. here it is. >> he was told he couldn't talk, which is unawful for the white house. i saw steve bannon's attorney step out multiple times to talk to the white house and report back to us that the white house was telling mr. bannon he could not talk about the transition, he could not even talk

you were in the room yesterday and today for bannon and lewandowski and rick dearborn testimony. >> yesterdayhas been reported since mr. bannon was evidently ganged by the white house under pretense of executive order, and today we had a witness refusing to answer questions. it begs the question, don, what do they have to hide? what are they afraid of? >> do they just refuse or are they just saying executive privilege or pleading the fifth? what's going on? >> though, they're not pleading the fifth. that's a constitutional basis from a legal theory. it was executive privilege, which is dubious at best because it's the president who must assert executive privilege. and he must stipulate certain issue areas or events when he does so. today it was and believe it or not, don, you're hearing this correctly. i'm not prepared. >> that's interesting. and what about your republican colleagues? how are they taking this? are they frustrated or are they okay with this? >> well, yesterday democrats and republicans joined together, as you may have heard, to on the spot issue a subpoena in an intent to comp
