[ inaudible ] i think, peter, we're working on his microphone issue >> there we go sorry about that >> there we have him peter, did you hear my question? >> i did that classic are we on mute thing. >> it happens. >> i didn't have a chance to look at that specific story but cyber security is incredibly important in the crypto space. and it's one reason customers do have a tendency to trust companies that have the long track record like ours to take care of them and their funds i think in the united states it's important to companies like ours that continue to work with the government to try to weed out bad actors in the space but most importantly that we take care of consumers. >> right and, peter, is that threat, though, increasing as we see more interest, more institutional, more retail interest in crypto currencies? >> i don't think it's increasing i think state actors like the ones you mentioned have been

their strategy was to lower the temperature from democrats emotionally charged opening argument eamon javers now. >> reporter: shep, after that powerful and emotional opening, donald trump's attorney came out and praised the impeachment managers for what he called the outstanding presentation he said the defense team had to change tactics and may be why the defense presentation seemed disjointed and rambling at parts. donald trump's attorney urged senators not to give in to the emotion of the moment and he spent a big chunk of his time praising senators for being extraordinary people and gallant men and said trump was simply engaging in free speech bump the attack on the capitol and said this impeachment is politically motivated. >> let's understand why with are really here. we're really here because the majority in the house of representatives does not want to face donald trump as a political rival in the future. that's the reason we're here. >> the trump team played ed vido calling for trump's impeachment time and time during his presidency the second attorney to speak for trump accused de

doubt that the crown prince or the saudis in general were involved in khashoggi's murder cnbc's eamon javersthe top story at the bottom of the hour eamon. >> reporter: this is a sharp change in direction from the way we saw donald trump handle this u.s. saudi relationship. for trump, he viewed this relationship largely through the prism of military sales, and you remember that he hosted mohammad bin salman in the oval office before the khashoggi murder in 2018 and held up a poster displaying billions of dollars of hardware that the saudis plan to purchase. trump fwas proud of his relationship s ass. i was able to get congress to leave him alone. i was able to get them to leave him alone. the biden administration has made a point of having the president deal directly with the saudi king, not his controversial son mbs. in the official readout of the call today between biden and the saudi king, the white house said they spoke about human rights and rule of law. on capitol hill, rare bipartisan agreement today about the gruesome nature of the report they expect to receive >> i'm expecting that i

ahead of them in a way today by rebutting some of the arguments they're expected to make cnbc's eamon javers on our top story tonight. eamon? >> shep, that's exactly right. the house impeachment managers today sought to get ahead of what we expect to hear, some of those arguments we expect to hear from the trump defense team tomorrow they did that by prebutting some of those arguments before some of the senators get to hear them they started with this idea that this was simply donald trump expressing his free speech rights. >> absolutely nobody in america would be protected by the first amendment if they did all the things that donald trump did he took it upon himself a duty to affirmatively take care that our laws would be faithfully executed. >> and they pushed back on the idea that this is simply a pointless and backward looking exercise designed to punish a former president >> impeachment is not to punish but to prevent we are not here to punish donald trump, we are here to prevent the seeds of hatred that he fruit. >> you know, planted from bearing any more fruit. >> you know, i'm not a

. >> cnbc's eamon javers on our top story tonight. walk us through the case the democrats presented today. >> reporter: yeah, shep, these impeachment managers were keen to demolish two arguments the trump defenders have offer rshd one is when trump said, fight like hell, he didn't literally mean fight and the other is when trump was speaking to that group of supporters january 6, he was simply gaining in typical political rhetoric to do that, they went back in time and looked at twitter and videos to show and lay the groundwork that the president had laid the groundwork for these attacks with lies about fraud. >> just as the president spent months spreading his big lie of the election, he also spent months cultivating groups of people who, following his command, repeatedly engaged in real, dangerous violence >> the managers showed trump posting a gleeful tweet after his supporters tried to run a biden-harris bus off the road in texas which came before the attack on the capitol. >> on december 19, at 1:42 in the morning, our commander

the former president incited the attack and then failed to take action to try to stop it cnbc's eamon javers now. eamon, what can we expect tomorrow >> reporter: well, shep, the trump legal team's argument here is this impeachment process should have simply stopped the moment that the president, president trump that is, stepped down from office much the same way that when president richard nixon stepped down from office on august 9th of 1974, the house of representatives, which was then moving forward with impeachment stopped its impeachment process at that time the big first fight of all of this is going to be is this trial even constitutional. the democratic impeachment managers and some conservative scholars argue of course it is they say the president was impeached while still in office, and the constitution requires a trial for all impeachments, end of story the trump team will say the former president is now a private citizen, and therefore not subject to this process. it will be a question for the senate to decide, and they'll debate it tomorrow for up to four hours so we know that th

cnbc's eamon javers talked to one the lead investigators on the case. eamon?o lead investigators told me that the north koreans are the world's leading bank robbers, but the u.s. government knows exactly who is conducting all of the bank robberies. >> we can identify them down to the individual, and we are not saying that north korean did this or the north korean military did this, but we are saying that the three individuals who worked for the north koreans did this, and we have pictures of them, and they are responsible for trying to steal 1.3 billion. >> these three are the north korean hackers that the u.s. government accused today of a massive global crime spree, a all three are members of the north korean military intelligence unit known as the reconnaissance general bureau. the years' long reconnaissance effort goes back to malta and mexico and including the ransomware of wannacry and also stealing cryptocurrency theft from a new york firm. they used old-fashioned cyber attacks from sony pictures and a link that is from phishing that enabled them to ope

cnbc's eamon javers on the top story at the bottom of the hour. eamon? >> these filings constitutional showdown based on the timing of the impeachment. the question will be this. because the president was impeached by the house of representatives and then stepped down at the end of his term and now is facing a senate trial, does the senate have jurisdiction to try a former president of the united states that's the big constitutional question the impeachment managers, who are democrats, argue yes, the senate does have that jurisdiction what they're saying is there's no free pass here in the constitution for a president to commit crimes at the end of his tenure they say the senate has the power under the constitution to try all impeachments this is a valid one and, therefore, they have to hold a trial. they say historical precedence all the way back to the 1720s that exist for impeaching former officials. they also say that the vote to disqualify an official occurs after the removal. remember, an impeachment can remove an official and also disqualify him o

. >> i love it now, scotty >> eamon javers has breaking news for us and let me jump down to him, if i eamon? >> that's right. we are now getting the response from former president trump for the impeachment article ahead of what is expected to be the trial on the senate on his impeachment by the house of representatives about his role in the january 6th storming of the capitol, violence, riots and deaths that we saw on that day what trump is arguing here through his lawyers is two things one, essentially that he can't be tried on this by the senate because he is no longer president of the united states this is a constitutional argument that trump is putting forward through his lawyers suggesting that the impeachment process as envisioned in the constitution does not apply to former presidents and because he was impeached by president and he's a former president now, this whole process is second ths arguing here is he says ultimately that the president believes as a private citizen, the senate has no jurisdiction over his ability to hold office in the future and he's saying not only can

those reasons are very different, shep. >> eamon javers, live tonight. thank you. >>> the president's giant covid relief package, concerns from his own party now that there may not be enough support to even pass it. so what's the sticking point >> the president is -- remains firmly committed to raising the minimum wage. >> minimum wage, maximum tradeoff is a jobs hit now worth the long-term up side? >>> building vaccine trust in the black community. the critical fight to shore up issues around historic hesitancy. >>> and the balance of power in 2022 now at least four gop senate seats are up for grabs in a post-trump world, what type of candidate will the party put up >> the facts the truth.

cnbc's eamon javers live in washington what did we learn from them today?we saw two things today we don't normally see, companies arguing that the government needs to force them to do something and republicans and democrats coming together to criticize a major american tech company. now, microsoft president brad smith argued that the u.s. government needs to force american companies to admit it when they've been hacked experts say companies often don't want to confess because they fear lawsuits or damage to their brand names, even though keeping mum can help the bad guys smith said that has to change. >> it is not a typical step when somebody comes and says, place a new law on me, put it on ourselves, put it on our customers, but i think it is the only way we are going to protect the country. i think it is the only way we're going to protect the world. >> both democrats and republicans criticized amazon, revealing they had asked amazon web services to testify today but the company declined to show up now, what the security experts told congress was this hac

cnbc's eamon javers on tonight's top story. eamon? >> reporter: yeah, contessa. donald trump's attorneys today argued that his impeachment today is really nothing more than just politics dressed up as a national legal debate. >> this unprecedented effort is not about democrats opposing political violence, it is about democrats trying to disqualify their political opposition it is constitutional cancel culture. >> reporter: they argued on process grounds saying the house managers didn't conduct an adequate investigation and relied too much on unverified press accounts the defense made a dramatic accusation hotly contested by the house managers that the managers had presented phony evidence >> reason to believe the house managers manipulated evidence and selectively edited footage >> reporter: now the defense argued that one of the trump quotations cited by the managers, get your people to fight, referred to members of congress fighting politically, not to people fighting in the street >> you have to get your people to fight, and if they don't fight, we have to pri
