i know the lawyer says they want to depose both trump and guiliani.t a deposition of the former president? can you vote the executive privilege because he was president at the time? or do we all get a deposition and we get so see it? >> he is being sued in his private capacity. not at president. there is no version of the job description as president that includes interfering with the smooth transition to the next president. you know, it takes a while to enforce these subpoenas. but he has no legal basis whatsoever for resisting a deposition. his name will come. it's right around the corner. >> so let me ask you about the legal issue, his long-time personal attorney rudy guiliani is not representing trump in any legal matters. that's the quote from trump adviser jason miller. any legal matters? we saw the lawyers who just represented him in the senate. it was an embarrassment. they won. but they won because the senators had made up their minds, themselves. right? that, is he going to get represented -- people can say what they want about guiliani, but

some of its hosts lou dobbs, maria bart chrome oh, jeanine pirro and rudy guiliani and sidney powell they worked in concert to wage a disinformation campaign against the company, disinformation campaign that the lawsuit says has really endangered the existence, whether this company can even survive. i talked to the ceo of the company who said they really had no choice but to file this lawsuit, because he's not sure if they're going to be around in a few years. he says that the -- one tiny error. right? this was a deranged conspiracy theory promoted on fox week after week for a long period of time. a period of time they should have known it wasn't true and promoted by rudy guiliani and sidney powell. fox wanting to defend itself. calling it a meritless lawsuit. sidney powell dismissing it as well and we reached out to rudy guiliani but haven't heard back from him quite yet. >> awaiting that. laura, how strong is this case, or is there a case that smartmatic has here? >> there is a case considering the second lawsuit in as many weeks about the same predicate. the idea of a disinformati

number of unanswered questions who trump met with before the riot and calls he and his attorney rudy guilianid he built such a strong case, why are they punting on witnesss? >> well, essentially, i think the defense side, are you saying -- the prosecution side house managers? >> yeah why are they not calling for witnesses? why didn't they subpoena the president and make him come? >> well, i think that they knew he would fight in court forever, that this would draw it out for eternity and they have the president basically testifying through every form of tape, comment, news conference and tweet so they really didn't need him in person. >> his lawyers really have their work cut out for them, sources are telling cnn trump's team might only go for three hours tomorrow. what do you expect to hear from them tomorrow? >> well, this is the thing, the defense has concluded that their client is guilty. so they have to basically say ignore all of that. i was a bad process in the house. that's one cover story. he's no longer in office, it's unconstitutional. that's another cover story that holds on water

lawsuit against a host of characters that pedalled lies about the company and the election, including guiliani, and sidney powell and others. the earth is round. two plus two equals four. joe biden and kamala harris won the election. the election was not stolen, rigged or fixed. these are facts. the second impeachment trial of the failed former president begins this tuesday. and the mountain of evidence points squarely to his guilt on incitement of insurrection. by the insurrectionists own words, they were rioting and doing what the failed president told them to do. it doesn't matter, the failed former president fled to his topical golf resort in florida. what happened, the attempted coup does matter and cannot be let off the hook. joining me, "the washington post" reporter, eugene scott, host of the next four years podcast on amazon, and contributor to the book, 400 souls which we will talk about in the next two hours. one of the latest dives into the heart of the matter after a campaign full of questions advancing racial equality is a foundation of biden's presidency so far. good morning, eu

this act, we are convinced that the proud boys, the oath keepers, former president trump and rudy guilianie complicit in allowing this to happen. they encouraged it. we saw president trump's tweet that encouraged people to come to washington on january 6th. said it was going to be wild. so as a citizen, i want my day in court. we were prevented from doing our job, because of this insurrection. people took credit for it. now they have to take the penalties that go with it. >> let me ask you about the issues that came up during the, the trial in the senate. and they were issues of standing, issues of venue, issues of, of jurisdiction. the argument that mitch mcconnell put forward is not that donald trump didn't do something wrong but this isn't the venue for it. same bruce castor said. you are attempting to try this in a court of law. and whether or not you can get past jurisdictional concerns when it comes to suing the president? >> absolutely. we're confident. we filed the suit, as you indicated. we look forward to having our day in court. i was sitting in the gallery, at the beginning of

the lawsuit is after fox news, it names pro-trump attorneys rudy guiliani and sidney powell and alsoox news hopes, lou dobbs, maria bartiromo, a financial interest to all of these parties promoting pro-trump conspiracy theories that the election was stolentop do that they need add villain. according to smartatic, this voting technology company they will be villain, defamed by fox, giuliani and powell and looking for damps. i talked to the ceo yesterday and he said they lost hundreds of millions of dollars in potentially revenue over the next few years. prompted death threats against the company and paying extra money in security, physical of employees and cybersecurity to protect their technology. they're looking for damages right now, fox saying they'll defend this lawsuit calling it meritless and sidney paowell calling it a political move. >> dramatically and convincingly as some of these personalities and trump supporters sold this bunk, it's hard to believe that they believed it. right? but that would be key to a lawsuit like this. >> it would be key, brianna. first of all, this

and rudy guiliani. secretary of state amounts to a state crime for soliciting election fraud. it's a huge piece of evidence, an hour-long call that he didn't know was happening. he badgered the second of state saying he had to find one vote more than he needed. his defense is going to be something like, oh, i thought it was really -- i thought it was really a fraud and i needed to somehow just is lip find those other votes. but the sweep of that call will make it very difficult for him to say. that's his first worry and that could come as soon as march or april. cyrus vance, new york district attorney has him in his sights. we're told that he's already in grievous financial shape. they are going to be coming after him very strongly for -- to -- in his pocketbook. remember, the cfo of the trump organization, the 74-year-old alan weisselberg who first started work ring for trump's father. >> right, right. >> he's not going to take a fall for donald trump. >> he has many problems. >> let's consider for a m
