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

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

i hope doj is involved in these discussions because to me if we end up seeing jeff clark immunized by the select committee, that suggestions to me that doj may not be pursuing this to look at the top people and potentially charge them, and i think that would be a mistake. >> you mentioned steve ban ona moment ago. he's accusing doj investigators of unfairly obtaining his lawyers' records. they collected hundreds of pages of e-mails and phone logs for his attorneys. how could that complicate his upcoming criminal trial? >> well, attorney-client privilege only covers the communications themselves. there can be no breach of the privilege. the second thing i will say is if he asserts an advice of counsel offense and says, well, i did all this on the advice of my lawyer, then that waives the privilege. in any case, i don't expect we will have an intact attorney client privilege at trial anyway. of course he will kick and scream about them getting any information but they're entitled to do it. at trial, we may see communication in the form of e-mails and other things if he proceeds with tha

jeff zucker said he decided to fire cuomo because jeff had no more appetite for his b.c. jason clarkp with allison gust who was forced out last night and the company said zucker and gollust violated company policies. gollust called this an attempt to retaliate against me and change the media narrative in the wake of their disastrous handling of the last two weeks saying she was deeply disappointed. cnn executives are upset saying the probe was over and viewed this as an effort by cuomo to muddy the waters and force the network into a multimillion dollar settlement. a former abc staffer has been deeply traumatized and doesn't want to be a pawn in a war between zucker and cuomo and cnn. yet that's what happening. >> martha: what a tangled when. thanks, howie. so that's "the story" for this wednesday, february 16. the story goes on. thank for spending your time with us. we'll see you tomorrow at 3:00. "your world" starts right now. >> sandra: pain in the gas! gas prices surging. the national average topping $3.50 a gallon for regular and now democrats are pushing for a gas tax holiday.

clark and mr. jeff -- ms. clarke and mr. jeffries of new york and ms. williams of georgia, i inform the house that all three will vote yes on the bowman amendment. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from indiana seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, as the member designated by mrs. walorski of indiana, i inform the house that mrs. walorski will vote no on amendment number 22. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from hawaii seek recognition? mr. case: mr. speaker, as the member designated by mr. kahele, i inform the house that mr. kahele will vote yes on bowman number 22. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, as the member designated by chairwoman nydia velazquez, congressman espaillat, and congressman torres of new york, pursuant to house resolution 8, i inform the house that ms. velazquez, mr. espaillat and mr. torres of new york will vote yes on jayapal-bowman amendment number 22. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gent

some of the top stars met in washington with jason clark, and he's hat a strained relationship with jeffim saying the punishment doesn't fit the crime, so is it cause for termination if you hide a consensual relationship from your bosses? some are also saying why didn't allison gollust also lose her job? >> i guess it's because zucker was in the position of power. she was a direct report to him, so it was incumbent upon him to report it. you know, you get into an area here where are certain things forgiven, or do you have to hold the line on them. i would assume, and i don't know for sure, but i would assume the reason why the relationship was not disclosed was because you couldn't have a relationship with somebody who's a direct report. that just wouldn't fly. although at cbs les moonves a had a longtime affair with julie chen, the two of them eventually got married -- howard: lots of exceptions. some cnn inside are saying this is chris cuomo's revenge for being fired and, we should mention, allison gollust previously worked for andrew cuomo. he's being called a bad guy by at least one
