katelyn polantz, thank you very much. we'll get back with you shortly on this breaking story. >>> right now i want to get to the release of wnba star brittney griner. she is on her way to the united states and is expected to land soon in san antonio, texas. cnn national security outlook has more on griner and the deal with russia that set her free. >> reporter: after nearly ten months in detention, brittney griner has been released from russia. russian state media showing her boarding a plane from an undisclosed location. >> are you ready for the flight? >> yes. >> reporter: the biden administration bringing her home in a prisoner swap months in the making. >> she is safe. she is on a plane. she is on her way home. after months of being unjustly detained in russia, held under intolerable circumstances. >> reporter: the president and griner's wife cherelle speaking to brittney, who is on her way back to the united states. >> today is a happy day for me and my family. i'm going smile right now. >> reporter: griner's team, t

our senior crime and justice correspondent katelyn polantz is in washington. and elie honig is here in new york. katelyn explain what the special master dismissal means for that probe of the mar-a-lago documents. >> right, well, this is a procedural step that this judge had no other choice but to grant, to get rid of this case, get rid of the special master review of documents but it does have major implications for the justice department. it's a pretty big moment for them. because up until this point, donald trump had successfully cordoned off 22,000 documents that were taken out of mar-a-lago as part of the search and seizure there. and what was happening, because he was in court, because there was a judge in florida, judge aileen cannon and appoints a special master and all of this litigation around that, those pieces of evidence were not available to the justice department. and those pieces of evidence are the things that were found in and around classified or records or records that were marked with classification statuses on them at mar-a-lago. so, it's

katelyn is a cnn senior crime and justice correspondent.ave is the state attorney for palm beach county. let me start with this decision that patrick phillin, cipollone have to speak. how big of a loss is this? >> big but i think trump knew he would lose. they gave trump the right advice but trump didn't listen so i think they will testify and may want to do this. they know snitches get stitches so i think they want to be compelled by a court that my hands are tied. we have to do this. >> do we know what they can offer? >> there are questions they never answered to anyone in this investigation. they were both interviewed by the house select committee and declined to answer some questions. they were in to the grand jury once before. probably very much similar to what they were telling the house happened on days but certain things, legal advice to the president and conversations with president trump maybe on january 6, leading up to that day. those are the things to decline to answer because donald trump trying to block them from answering it

cnn's senior crime and justice reporter katelyn polantz is working the story. update our viewers.hat are you finding out? >> reporter: wolf, this comes just now from my colleague kristen holmes, and she is hearing from a source that this judge didn't hold donald trump in contempt of court today at this hearing. now, we do know a hearing took place, we also know from an abc news report that the judge was urging the two sides, the justice department and lawyers for donald trump, to go and try and reach some sort of consensus between the two of them. the justice department for months has been trying to make sure that there are no federal records, no national security secrets still in the possession of donald trump post-presidency, but other than that, about this hearing today, we don't know much. it was entirely conducted behind closed doors. there were more than a dozen members of the media standing outside of the courtroom. we had a lawyer there, we asked to be heard, we asked for transparency. we were not even invited in to be able to make that argument. but the court did acknowle

katelyn polance, cnn, washington. >> for now we're joined now by natasha lindstadt. good to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> what do you make of this news the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection held a meeting sunday to discuss criminal referrals and presented recommendations to the full panel for former president donald trump and others? >> i think this was a sign that donald trump's luck is running out, that congress is moving to -- to push to, you know, indict trump or suggest that trump is indicted. i think we've always seen that there are these norms that we can't indict a former president or a sitting president, and that has really insulated trump from, you know, different sorts of prosecution but i think the house is making it very clear that a criminal action has taken place, that he tried to overturn an election and that this wasn't some sort of spontaneous thing and that he needs to be held accountable. we've been really reticent so far to be really -- make him accountable for some of his actions. we're seeing with

cnn's katelyn polantz joins us. what have we learned? >> reporter: they sent lots and lots of subpoenas into the hundreds. some of those subpoenas were for phone records. they sent them to phone companies like verizon, at&t, t-mobile, and a couple of handful -- a couple of dozen people sued the house select committee. largely people who were very closely allied with donald trump after the election, and when those particular people sued, it put on hold the ability of the house to get their phone records, and so what was happening was there was a waiting game happening. in court, all of those people were waiting to see whether any courts would challenge the committee or allow their challenges to move forward. the lawsuits really hadn't gone very far, and so now with one week left to go with this house select committee, the house is essentially dropping these disputes that they had in court. they're withdrawing the subpoenas. they're just not going to get those records from maybe a few dozen people. we've already seen about six or so notice

katelyn polantz, great reporting. thanks so much. >>> also tonight, sources tell me and other cnn reporters that the house select committee investigating january 6th has ended its meeting where members discuss criminal referrals. and one source i spoke with tonight just before the show said that it was a successful meeting, implying that progress was made, but didn't elaborate. the subcommittee focused on those referrals presented its findings to the full committee, and saying that the committee has agreed on a path forward on referrals. last hour, i spoke with cnn legal analyst, elie honig about what it all means. >> well, pam, first of all, the committee also is in the process of deciding what they're going to do. they've said different things in the past. they've said they intend to. they said today's meeting was successful so we'll see what they do. what's important to understand about a criminal referral is that legally it has no specific impact. it's not binding on doj. they don't have to investigate because con

cnn's katelyn to lants is with us. what are they looking for now beyond what they've already received? >> reporter: well, victor and bianna, we are learning basically from new court filings today about these investigative steps that were taken all the way back over the summer and into the fall. what we learned is that the investigators did a bunch of searches on email accounts, specifically the email accounts of three different people who were allied with donald trump right around the election and afterwards, and were really working to try and help him hold onto the presidency. those email accounts, those people were jeffrey clark who was a justice department official, ken clu cow ski who was a deputy of his, and john eastman who was a private attorney for donald trump at the time. that's the emails that they searched and then once the justice system got ahold of those e-mails, they were going through them, and there were specific things they went to court to get access to. the first thing, they were trying to get acce

c cnn's senior crime journalist katelyn polantz joins us. >> reporter: in the summary that the houseed, they basically wrote a grand finale about their concerns and the witnesses they were paying closest attention to, and the testimony that was really most important to them. one of the areas that they said was most important was everything that they were told about president donald trump's desire to travel to the capitol on january 6th because they say that all of that testimony bears on trump's intent around what was happening in the riot that day. so that's what they're identifying as important. that seems to be an area we should be looking for, and they also point out the specific witnesses who spoke to trump wanting to go to the white house, and making that very known among white house staff and even security around them. the people that they identify as people who would have spoken about this would be cassidy hutchinson, kayleigh mcenany, secret service agents, other white house staff, metropolitan police, at least one person from that police force, but they also contrast that w

. >> cnn senior crime and justice reporter katelyn polantz. this was a big appointment here, there is now a special counsel, there was some talk about whether this would slow things down, you have a new boss in charge, but you're saying that's not happening. >> yeah, there's speed here and also focus. as far as our understanding is we had a whole reporting team looking into how this special counsel's office was being set up in these first couple weeks he's been in charge. the one big take away we found is that there's a very large team of prosecutors working on this, already twice the size of the mueller investigation, 20 prosecutors that smith will step in and be the manager of working on january 6 alone, that's a lot of people taking this on. one of the things they've found that we found is that the prosecutors are asking witnesses at this time about was there a plan to steal the election? that seems really obvious, but what they're asking is about donald trump's knowledge, his belief of what would happen on january 6, his intent. that's the

katelyn polantz with those developments. thank you. >>> joining us to discuss, former federal prosecutor jennifer rodgers. so as we look at everything that has developed here, one of the things that i have found interesting is, as we wait for the potential criminal referrals, there is talk about can we look at what happened with the referrals for contempt, ome two of the four were acted on by the doj. a criminal referral is different. no? >> it is. it is. the work that the january 6 committee does in this investigation and in looking at these crimes of maybe seditious conspiracy, interfering with congress and is different than someone coming from congress and lying and refusing to answer a subpoena. in those instances, congress is a victim and doj looked at it that way. should we act on this crime that may have happened that victimized congress. this is different. doj doing its investigation. do we agree with the conclusions reached by congress? doj of course will be making its own conclusions on that. but i think they will

we are joined by katelyn polantz. what do you know about the content of the text messages between congressman perry and meadows? >> anderson, we have seep some of the text messages before, and there is new reporting out there now about what they were talking about, and really, what perry is doing in the text messages we have is he is showing concern over the election. he is expressing this skepticism that he believes there was security breaches. and some of the things he is writing to mark meadows, a lot of this it's totally unfounded allegations. but he is asking mark meadows for help. he wants help to get in touch with different people. he wants to spread the word that donald trump was pushing. he is writing things like, "mark, there are instructions from the cyber forensic team. please ensure widest dissemination and act. please tell they need to preserve the specific voting machine scanners used at the voting places where the glitch occurred. put them under lock and key. nobody touches them." he goes on with very

katelyn polantz joins us now. katelyn you helped break this reporting. at the center of all this? >> this comes from myself, pamela brown, jamie gangel. this is about a lawyer his work for cassidy hutchinson passantino was an ethics lawyer in donald trump's white house. then he started a political law firm. that firm has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars this year alone by donald trump's political fundraising groups. and that included, we were able to confirm, payments for passantino repliresent cassidy hutchinson. she got a new lawyer, but became the star witness. now the house is publicly raising concerns about that entire setup. they have other concerns too, john, this lawyer, and it's a long list. this lawyer was telling her not to recall facts she did recall, not to clarify testimony that she believed was inaccurate. and on something that would cast a bad light on donald trump, he told her we don't want to go there. we don't want to talk about that. that is all according to the committee which spoke to cassidy hutchinson many times. they ne

>> a closer look now at how it might impact the justice department's own investigations, here is katelyn polantz. >> reporter: even from the beginning of this criminal investigation, the attorney general has tried to make very clear that he is nonpolitical. he and the president have distanced themselves. they are in the same branch of government and i'll tell you, the justice department does not ever want to be put in the same bucket as congress. they are very, very separate entities, often at odds with one another even. and so there is the possibility that there could be political pressure that builds once the house select committee would say what they want to see as far as prosecutions. it doesn't mean that the justice department will follow what their suggestions might be. but this is washington. merrick garland is the attorney general. his office, you can sort of see down the plmall to the capitol building. so this is always a political environment. garland, one of his blind spots generally would be politics. he was a judge for 23 years before taking on the position of attorney gener

katelyn polantz has the details.g. >> this is a big day for donald trump and for special council jack smith leading this investigation around january 6. so the grand jury is very likely to hear more about trump and his white house leading up to january 6 after the election, all of those efforts to put pressure on mike pence and potentially block congress from certifying the presidency of joe biden and cipollone really is the top figure here that smith had wanted the grand jury to hear from. he had been in once, there were certain things they tried to block him from answer, potentially things like legal advice he was giving to the president, direct conversations he would have had with the president at that time. trump's approach failed in court and we were able to report that yesterday and now there you see pat cipollone going into the grand jury today. kate. >> also there is a big move that is happening in the back and forth over the special master reviewing the documents taken from mar-a-lago. what is happening. >>

katelyn polantz is looking into this. what more do you know about the criminal referrals as we know right now and where the justice department picks up from here? >> well, kate, we have these three possible criminal referrals on donald trump that have already been pretty sketched out by our own reporting, obstruction of a congressional proceeding, so that is the disinformation campaign, getting these rioters to want to obstruct congress. that is a charge that the justice department has used against a lot of people on capitol hill on january 6. conspiracy to defraud, that is more of pressure campaign or sorry that is the disinformation campaign, the other objection would be the pressure on mike pence, the pressure on congress. so there is a lot that the justice department is already looking at and take these or leave them, the justice department could do either with congressional referrals. we already know that they are investigating both of these things, if not regarding donald trump himself, but top allies around him, pr

katelyn polantz is joining us with this. what more are we hearing from the doj this morning. >> reporter: this is prosecutors wanting the trump team so formally say there is no more documents having more classifications markings on them in their possession. and what is happening and reporting that we're learning from gabby and sara murray here at cnn, is there is some fear on the trump legal team side where they don't want to get into legal jeopardy by signing some sort of formal attestation saying that that is the case. that everything they are sure has been turned over. they also -- the people on the trump team right now two years donald trump left office and all of those document should have gone back to the federal government so they may not be able to answer questions that prosecutors have now about where all of the documents are, if they've all been handed over. so there is a bit of an issue right now. there could be a hearing later today. we expect there to be related to this possible contempt proceeding over trump's

that from cnn's new reporting joining me, katelyn polantz, sara murray and legal analyst former federalot williams. walk us through the new report including the financial investigation. what are we talking about? >> right. what we're talking about is a series of investigations that have existed for some time. they're just under new management, basically. in this report we were doing, there are a lot of us trying to understand what the special counsel's office looks like when smith is stepping in oversee. on the january 6th commission there's been an investigation that existed for some time. all types of financial crimes have been looked at the funding of rioters, money laundering, and now they're looking at potential political contributions and misuse of that. that's just an aspect. there's a lot of other things that are under investigation. one of of the things about this existing team that we found, even a year ago when january 6th prosecutors were being brought in to look at more political circles they always have had the ability to take a business up to donald trump if the evidence

cnn's katelyn polantz joins us now. what are we expecting today in addition to these findings? >> we know since we saw all of those hearings into the summer and the beginning of the fall, the committee continued its work. they brought more people in, got access to more and more text messages. we're waiting the see if they have anything new. there's the big moment of what they do with these possible criminal referrals they are expecting to want to ask the justice department to pursue. we know where the committee stands on a lot of this. they showed their cards in federal court when they were pursuing john eastman's emails, the election attorney for donald trump. 245i bthey basically said they believed donald trump was working on a conspiracy to defraud the united states. that's sort of the disinformation campaign, and then obstruction of a congressional proceeding. that's the sort of stuff where the people around trump, trump himself would have been trying to put pressure on mike pence. insurrection, of course, that would be a big and new thing if the committee chose to make a c

cnn senior crime and justice reporter katelyn polantz.ok and make sure we don't have more stuff. they look around and find more stuff. what are the legal implications? >> this is part of the long history, this struggle where the federal government has really tried to make sure they have all of the federal records back that they believe are theirs after the trump presidency. the thing think want to make sure especially about is any national security material is secure. that's a very foremost concern. it's what led to this criminal investigation. there was a sealed court proceeding, after the search in august, the justice department wanted to make sure there was nothing else out there that really needed to be back in the hands of the federal government. so trump's team ultimately did go and hire their own search team, and they looked at four different places. they looked at trump tower in new york. they looked at bedminster golf club in new jersey, and then they looked at an office and storage unit in florida, finding these two additional c

katelyn, thank you, fascinating reporting and perspective now from -- cnn legal analyst -- cordero fortroye, director of the republican accountability project and former homeland security adviser to vice president pence. all right carrie, just lay this out for people because i think part of this just has to do with simple lawyering. could a lawyer tell a client not to work, to say they -- or do recall? >> right john, so i think it is important for us to distinguish people between the ethical obligations of the lawyer and then conduct that might potentially be considered criminal. so telling a client, if what the lawyer did is he told his client to lie, which is one way that i think could interpret this reporting, that is clearly enough fickle, unethical, as a lawyer representing someone before congress or before any government entity or any proceeding to direct a client to lie. if that is in fact what happened. and then there is the issue of, was this conduct potentially obstructing the professional inquiry? but this is where the way that it happened, what the words were that were used
