merrick garland is set to address it any moment.as just briefed on assassination threats from iran. officials are hearing more about the plot to interfere with the election. >> we just got the indictment from the department of justice. we are going through it now. three people have been charged. according to the doj, these people were engaged in a hacking campaign that used spearfishing and social engineering techniques to target and compromise the accounts of current and former u.s. government officials, members of the media and individuals associated with u.s. political campaigns. last week we got notification from officials that in june and july, cyber actors sent emails to people linked with biden's reelection team. they had stolen from trump's campaign. several of these organizations, and including politico received emails inside the operation. it included the research dossier on j.d. vance. they suggested iran was behind the breach. they have been tracking threats for years stemming from the desire to avenge the killing of a g

news flash, you can catch people in the dark, merrick garland. where there is a will, there is a way. that's 2-tear justice. >> harris: charles payne. >> charles: i think there's a three-pronged thing that has been hit on here. preparing for a potential trump presidency and saying, these are the things that will escalate obviously has given us a timeline that coincides only -- these things have only happen in the last three and a half years. we don't want anyone harmed or threatened. but i think that merrick garland also has to be thinking about how history is going to look at him and this legacy. because to your point, tammy, the foundation of our country is rule of law and that's one of the key foundations. he gaslighted america just now. most of that was another round of gaslighting and every time we hear from someone on the democratic party it's gaslighting us whether it's telling us how great the economy is or what their ideas are and policy. we just know they are not being truthful. i would love to see him say the supreme court made and a v

i think that merrick garland feels compelled to speak out again right? >> the rhetoric is twofold from donald trump. he's, he's accusing the biden administration, the doj, of using their force for political gain, which merrick garland has repeatedly said is not true. and then like you said threatening to do things to his political opponents, to election officials merrick garland addresses that. he says it is, it is dangerous to target the employees for simply doing their jobs. he said, i also have seen you bravely carry on in the face of an unprecedented spike in threats targeting a range of public officials. so he's commending his employees for even continuing on jack smith and his prosecutors, donald trump repeats them for attacks them. what seems to be on a, on a daily basis. so this is merrick garland coming to the defense of his own employees, but also sending a message to donald trump and his allies, very interesting. >> our jessica schneider, we'll be following that. thank you very much. and for more on this. joining me now, is democratic congress

this is going to be major speech by merrick garland. i don't think it's going to be very long, but he's clearly going to be addressing the threats made by donald trump and i think he's beginning to speak right now. so let's listen in that's actually tape. we're looking at. so go ahead. andrew, give us your sense of why the attorney general has decided to make this address? >> yeah sure will absolutely major speech previewed on on live television from the great hall, which is maybe the most hallowed place inside that legendary department of justice building. and this is an absolutely essential move for the attorney general in my view and here's why never before have the department's people have been under the level of attacks, political attacks false attacks, as they are experiencing right now, it is always been a privilege and an honor for people to serve in the department of justice, but they've never been challenged to serve in environment. >> that is so toxic. >> and in which they are suffering from mistrust and daily attacks of this

attorney general merrick garland today called the attempted assassination a heinous act. with 42 days until election day, both candidates are focusing on a top issue for many americans: the u.s. economy. vice president kamala harris will add details to her economic plans in pittsburgh tomorrow. former president donald trump presented his in georgia today. and as cbs's robert costa reports, one of the cornerstone proposals is already drawing skepticism. >> reporter: in battleground georgia today, former president donald trump proposed tax breaks for companies that make products in the u.s. >> not only will we stop our businesses from leaving for foreign lands, but under my leadership, we are going to take other countries' jobs. >> reporter: trump also said he would impose a 100% tariff on cars coming from mexico. >> the only way they will get rid of that tariff is if they want to build a plant right here in the united states. with you people operating that plant. >> reporter: but some economists and even members of his own party say tariffs could lead to higher inflation.

what you make of merrick garland's designing to come out a few days aftef mer te debate in a very hotitical season coursework.h >> you know, it is hard not to wherlaugh at his treatment where tried to sound so serious and so d so grave about never ever politicizing or weaponizing these government agencies, when in fact, that is what they are doing currently and what they have been doing for years, even going all the way back during president trump's admini administration. i would tell merrick garland today if you are serious about the words you have just delivered to the american people don't know why don't you start by investigating some of your own federal agencies like they, department of homeland security and tsa and ask them why txt afr one day -- the very next day after i called out kamala harri for being a danger to ourto country should she be elected as president, i got added to aat secret domestic terrorist list.s that is a good place to start. why doesn't he start by going after people within his own fbi who after steve -- fbi steve friend blew the whistle on how the fbi is

attorney general, merrick garland condemn those using the u.s. justice department as a quote, political weapon, listen there is not one rule for friends and another for foes. one rule for the powerful and another for the powerless. one rule for the rich, and another for the poor. one rule for democrats and another for republicans are norms are a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon. >> now trump's campaign has responded calling merrick garland's conduct. and i'm quoting the trump campaign disgraceful. joining us now to discuss cnn senior justice correspondent evan perez and cnn legal analyst carrie cordero evan, how significant is this message from the attorney general? this is some this is a message that's close to his heart there's something that he believes very strongly ever since he came back to the justice department will offend part of the issue here is not only the fact that the former president has been attacking the justice department, claiming that it has been weaponized but also the concern t

that that's all it has has, is lawfare against a political enemy on the part of merrick garland. a.onald trump is elected president again, how would he go about fixing things at the department of justice? we haven't even begun to talk about homeland security either. i mean, there's so many of these bureaucracies, but the most important one, i think, is department of justice. how would he be able to the untangle that web there? >> i think he's going to have toking hook at all the political to point -- appointments and ask for their resignation. and if i think they know that, and i think they're preemptively criticizing trump because they know that if they were trump and they had done to themselves what they have done to trump, they would go after themselves. and they're projecting. but if he doesn't do that, he'll never reach deterrence. he's got to say to the nation, these people misused law, i don't like political appointments on my own behalf, but i don't know how the -- to remind them what that what they did was wrong other than to relieve all of these political appointments and

and feel like they need to take things into their own hands at certain points in his speech, merrick garland seemed to express it's real exasperations with the attacks on the justice department. he thanked prosecutors and other department staff for refusing to bend to politics and break under pressure garland said quote, you deserve better. brian todd, cnn, washington hurricane francine is now a post-tropical cyclone, but the storm still poses serious risks to the south southeastern united states around 8 million people are under flood alerts, around 10 million are under wind alerts francine battered louisiana when it made landfall as a category two hurricane on wednesday, flooding hundreds of structures across the state and bring more than a month's worth of rain to new orleans in a matter of hours, less than two weeks ago into this month, new orleans has already seen its third wettest september on record with a rainfall totals exceeding 15 inches so far firefighters in southern california are working to contain multiple fires. >> a number of homes have been destroyed, a tens of thousands o

>> john: sandra, attorney general merrick garland pushback on claims that the department of justice isnize. garland says those attacks are "outrageous and dangerous." it comes amid growing allegations from the public and former president trump that president biden has used the doj to target him. let's bring in trey gowdy, fox news contributor, former republican south carolina congressman, and host of "sunday night in america was trey gowdy." i want to put a bit of what garland said in a statement earlier today. listen here. >> in short, we must treat like cases alike. there is not one rule for friends and another for foes. one rule for the powerful, and another for the powerless. one rule for the rich, and another for the poor. one rule for democrats, and another for republicans. or different rules depending on one's race or ethnicity. >> john: earlier today kerri urbahn suggested, well, garland seems to be saying the right things, but in reality -- she pulled out a laundry list of cases that would seem to contradict everything he said. what do you say? >> yeah, i mean, i would start w

we held merrick garland in contempt. we combated anti-semitism on college campuses. we have worked hard to hold the administration accountable for the failed afghanistan withdrawal. we fought the woke agenda of the biden/harris administration. and we investigated not just one, but two assassination attempts on donald trump's life, and network continues in earnest even today. right now the american people need us more than ever. under the biden/harris administration, the american people are struggling. their disastrous economic policies are crushing american families. their weakness on the world stage has emboldened our adversaries. crime has risen across the country. terrorists and drugs are terrorizing our communities. we have 41 days left until this very fateful election. we are going to continue fighting tirelessly for america's families. we are going to grow the majority in the house. we are going to get president trump reelected to the white house and we are going to win the senate. and we can hit the ground running and deliver for the american people on day one

we saw that today with merrick garland coming out. talked about it earlier.s out and says we would never allow anyone in our ranks to be influenced by politics. and he seemed very indignant, obviously because trump is raising this. >> whole foundation of the constitution is he duty-bound as attorney general to understand cannot be trusted with power. there is no human being benevolent enough to be trusted with powers specifically the power to determine truance falsity, censor the idea we could be held. the whole purpose of our constitution is from anyone ever getting that power precisely because even the most benevolent -- people let alone merrick garland exercise that responsibly. >> laura: the more indignant they are, the more you have to look under the rocks around them. glenn, wonderful to see you. thanks so much. all right, the white house just admitted it does not give a rip about veterans upset over the afghanistan pull-out. tw tho of those vets join us, n. ♪ voya helps you choose the right amounts without over or under investing. across all your benef

merrick garland as you said is a very you cautious open initial not given to inflammatory statements.eech was quite remarkable and it's very consistent of course with trump being very clear about wanting to use, you know, essentially to attack the institutions that are set up to safeguard the democracy. i was very struck, it didn't get as much attention probably understandably given all the incoherent and inflammatory things trump said in that debate the other night but i will point out that he was asked about january 6, he was asked about his election lies and he chose to double down on them in the debate the other night. he said not only that the election had been rigged and stolen from him, but that he continues to say that he's going to pardon the january 6th insurrectionists and he calls them, as you know, repeated in his rallies he calls them essentially martyrs to the cause of donald trump. and that's the side that he's taken on. i noticed that kamala harris made a point of saying how many police officers were injured on january 6, 2021 and, you know, pointing out that donald t

merrick garland has done what the justice department is supposed to do.ust do what president biden tells them to do as donald trump did and would do again if he was president. this is not great for democrats in terms of having a big city mayor. under this kind of lengthy challenges, troubles, i'm trying to find the right word for you. >> criminal indictment right? with more to come. >> in terms of donald trump, he will try to use this i think for us as democrats, we have to remember that our congressional democrats in particular running for congressional seats are incumbents in new york. these are tough districts here we need to win to take back the house. and the thing that gives me comfort is each of these candidates is very good. they are running their own races. at the end of the day, i think voters will look at them. they won't look at the new york city mayor as much as they might try to take these people with the new york city mayor. i think that is what we will have to do. those people have to continue to run their race. obviously, many of them hav

attorney general merrick garland says it's simple. asked him about it on friday. he says the doj filed the letter image for the public to see on the docket to try and keep him behind bars to show his intentions. ultimately, it worked. judge ordered him detained and he is detained pending trial. his probable cause hearing ended in minutes. it's not clear when the next hearing will be. at the judge did not set a next date. this will go to this judge aileen cannon who overheard the trump documents case and ultimately dismissed that case. this letter, authorities say is in his hand. states he was attempting to assassinate the former president and includes an apology for failing to kill trump while offering a $150,000 bounty for anyone who can finish the job. house judiciary chairman jim jordan in washington says releasing the letter could harm former president by encouraging others to think they could potentially get paid by routh. jordan says the department's decision to broadcast the attempted assassins bounty on president trump at the same time that the department

merrick garland and the norms of justice. d he think his trump prosecutions wouldn't get a furious response? they wrote this quote, mr. garland can lecture about norms all he wants. he is the man who under political pressure broke a norm that has lasted for more than 200 years. mr. garland's legacy will be that he unleashed the whirlwind by prosecuting a former president. he could at least spare the country his righteous indignation. end quote. in "focus" karrie urbahn fox legal editor. i thought about you yesterday wanting to get your reaction and now i can. >> there is nothing normal about the department of justice attempting to imprison the former leader of the free world who also happens to be the attorney general's political opponent, his boss's political opponent. you know, harris, under this department of justice in washington, d.c., the u.s. attorney here declined to prosecute 67% of all people arrested in the cases brought to him except for two distinct groups. anyone who was at the capitol on january 6th where this d

in addition to condemning dangerous and outrageous attacks from the department, merrick garland made arland shared steps already taken. the communications between doj employees and people in congress and the white house. enhanced protections in the shadow. electoral votes. there's a, quote, national special security event. getting security on par with the state of the union address and the super bowl. joining our coverage, former top official at the department of justice, and the president and ceo of democracy forward, skye perryman is here. andrew weissman, your thoughts on the steps the attorney general is taking? >> well, nicole, i have a lot of thoughts. first, the only way to trump proof the department of justice to have it not be a political arm of the white house is at the ballot box. the president of the united states has the power to make the department of justice be just like any other agency and to be politicized. the department of justice is independent and makes independent decisions. that comes from a norm. having trump proof that has depot lit sized a department of just

today, attorney general merrick garland fought back, assuring the department that the ag, the attorneya wave of quote dangerous and outrageous attacks. joining us now, nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent, ken dilanian. so, ken, what did he say? >> garland talked about the importance of insulating the doj in partisan influence. garland first joined the department as a young prosecutor four decades ago. he said that tradition is under threat as never before. the biggest threat comes explicitly from the republican candidate for president who suggested if he's elected he will use the doj to go after his enemies. donald trump spent years that the investigations were a partisan effort by democrats to frame him. take a listen to what else garland said. >> our norms are a promise that we will fiercely protect the independence of this department from political interference in our criminal investigations. our norms are a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon. and our norms are a promise that we will not allow this nation to become a country w

so i think you just have to look at the fact that merrick garland has done what the justice departmento do, which is separate from -- they are not vold by president biden, they don't just do what president biden tells them to do as donald trump did and would do again if he were president, and you see it with the indictments that are coming through. i mean, this is -- this is not great for democrats in terms of having a big-city mayor, democratic mayor, under, you know, this kind of lengthy -- what is going to be very lengthy, i think, challenges, troubles. i'm trying to find the right word for. >> you criminal indictment, right, with maybe more to come, too. >> more to come. i think that's the challenge here. but i think in terms of, you know, donald trump, he's going to try to use this, i think for us as democrats we have to remember that our congressional democrats in particular, those that are running for congressional seats or incumbents in new york these are some tough districts that we need to win to take back the house. the thing that gives me comfort is each of these candidates

let's say -- >> merrick garland has to say about this investigation. he has spent time in ukraine, time around different parts of the world so what was going on here? will talk to former attorney general pam bondi next. every day, veteran homeowners are calling newday to pay off credit card debt that's been piling up. many were shocked to learn they've been paying 22% on their credit card balances. and if payments were late, as much as 30%. that's over three times the interest rate on a newday 100 va home loan. pay off high rate credit cards and other debt with a lower rate newday home loan. save hundreds a month, thousands a year. detect this: living with hiv, craig learned he can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why he switched to dovato. dovato is a complete hiv treatment for some adults. no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: leo learned that most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. if you have hepatitis b, don't stop dovato without ta

merrick garland, as you said, is a very cautious official, not giving in to inflammatory statements.te remarkable, and it is very consistent, of course, with trump being very clear about wanting to use, you know, essentially to attack the institutions that are set up to safeguard the democracy. i was very struck. surprised it didn't get as much attention, probably understandably, given all of the incoherent and inflammatory things that trump said in that debate the other night. but i will point out, he was asked about january 6th, he was asked about his election lies, and he chose to double down on them in the debate the other night. he said not only that the election had been rigged and stolen from him, but he continues to say that he is going to continue to harden -- pardon the january 6th insurrectionist. and he calls them, as you know, repeatedly in his rallies, he calls them, essentially, martyrs to the cause of donald trump, and that is the side that he has taken on. i noticed kamala harris made a point of saying, how many police officers were injured on january 6th, 2021. you

the department of justice, the person in charge is merrick garland. he works for joe biden. so if there is any notion that this is not going to be resolved in a manner of a plea deal, somebody's being very naive. this is going to be resolved, joe biden is going to pardon his son, and the department of justice going to this jekyll and hyde position, they don't care. they're going to take their marching orders from their boss, who works for president biden. joe biden is no longer the most powerful men on the planet, he's not running for reelection, he has zero to lose. >> sandra: thank you for that. we are going to get jonathan back up here in just a moment, because kerri crossing the wires right now via reuters is at the justice department has opposed hunter's plea in this tax case. your reaction? >> i'm not surprised at all. in fact, i thought this would happen, actually, for a couple of reasons. one, doj does not like to be jerked around, and they certainly don't like to be surprised. that has happened, to use the analogy i can't even go into, with the ball circling -- >> j

and i think that's racketeering or something that merrick garland said that they are going to make -- change their ways and the algorithm they use is no longer going to be able to be used. and that will give some relief to people who have to rent. i have been in my apartment since 2007. so i don't pay utilities. however, on my rental report tool where i pay my rent, they keep showing me the utility that i owe. and they won't give me anything in writing saying i don't pay utilities. it's like up to $4,400. this company only been here since may. this property manager been here since may and the utility they are running up on me and they not holding me to it. it's like $4,400. host: ok. we'll take your comments. guest: it's a great point. the realpage -- lawsuit against realpage is one we are certainly watching very carefully. there was a hearing about a year and a half ago that i testified at in the senate before the judiciary committee that was looking at this issue. these allegations of rent gouging and rent setting through algorithms as you say. it may be one of the reasons why we sa

attorney general, the deputy attorney general, or the attorney general himself, which would be merrick garlandwith the case this high-profile and this sensitive and knowing who the defendant is, it would have to be the last on that list. garland who signs off on this. and would garland say, tell your story? or because the to it is the president, somebody said sign the damn thing and let's get it over with? >> the gamesmanship to appoint weiss, who is not eligible under the rules to be special counsel, listed in tilled the pretense that garden and garland and thebiden-harris demt have to do with this case. i think he would say, this is what i appointed weiss four, for purposes of this case he is the attorney general. so i'm not convinced that either garland or another higher up in the justice department has to sign off on this. i think this is what they have weiss four. i think that's why they put him here in the first place. frankly, if you take it from weiss' perspective, from a normal perspective, an alford plea should be unacceptable in this case. but from weiss' perspective, he already try

but, the truth is that this indictment is yet more evidence that merrick garland's justice departmentringing charges against high-profile democrats, including the son of the current president, a u.s. senator, a democratic congressman in a swing district, and the democratic mayor of new york city. joining me now is washington congresswoman camilla jayapal, chair of the progressive caucus in the house and member of the house judiciary committee. it is wonderful to see you. >> it is so good to be in person. >> it is a very big news day. >> yes. >> every day, but for today in particular. for people have been treated to this paranoid theory that joe biden has weapon i the justice department, i kind of wonder, given the number of democrats that merrick garland's justice department, southern district of new york have gone after, what your thoughts are about the working theory that trump has about joe biden? >> look, donald trump is just going to use whatever he can to make whatever arguments he wants to make for himself. they have nothing to do with truth or fax. and so, i think you just hav

i want to turn to attorney general merrick garland. merrick garland who spoke moments ago about attacks against justice department officials it is dangerous to target and intimidate individual employees of this department solely for doing their jobs and it is outrageous that you have to face these unfounded attacks because you are doing what is right and upholding the rule of law you deserve better cnn's evan perez is at the justice department. >> he didn't name names, but he made no mistake about who he was referring to. >> no, absolutely not. dana the attorney general, was addressing really the threats that you've heard, not only from the former president, but also members of congress who refer to some of those very people that you pointed, that you just saw carrying out those attacks on january 6. they referred to them as political prisoners and they've tried to portray them and it's totally different light from the violence that you see there and what the attorney general was talking about today in a speech to employees to us attor

calling for kamala harris to have a more political attorney general than merrick garland.oining us former new york congressman, lee zeldin. to you, politico wants a more activist doj, how do you get more activist than indicting your political opponents? >> it is clearly a doj that is weaponizing the justice system the politico op-ed wants to see the dojmore weaponized, an attorney general who is more of a democratic operative, they don't advocate for equal scales of justice, criticism of merrick garland is that he is not going far enough to hold the democratic party's water, and joe biden. you see throughout this politico piece, references to getting trump, the average american is actually concerned about a lot of other issues, as their top priorities to decide their vote and where they want to see rule of law. >> she is runs the ads tells voters who a tough prosecutor she was, i need your help, i thought prosecutors put people in jail, they didn't bond them out, they thought they provided sanctuaries for innocent victims not criminals, what kind of prosecutor was she, not

after merrick garland announced the indictments for russian interference in this year's election today donald trump omplaied on social media that it was somehow unfair for the justice department of the united states of america to criminally prosecute illegal russian interference in our elections. the russian government can successfully interfere in presi entirely to the other absurdity of the electoral college. it was impossible for the russian election interference operation in 2016 to turn enough votes in donald trump's favor so that donald trump could actually win the most votes. donald trump lost the vote at the polls by 3 million votes, a merchant election interference couldn't possibly close but electoral college can be won by tiny vote margins in a you states. by 7 million votes nationally and he will surely lose to kamala harris by millions of votes nationally and that is why russian interference is targeted at the key electoral college states that decide the election. there is nothing the founders feared more than foreign interference in american elections. they would be horri

he did not name trump by name but i mean, it is very unusual to have somebody like merrick garland sayinghere is no question, of course, this is something we have not really seen before. mike garland is a very cautious official not given to inflammatory statements. i thought that speech was quite remarkable and very consistent with trump being very clear about wanting to use -- essentially to attack the institution set up to safeguard the democracy. i was very struck it did not get as much attention probably understandably, given all the incoherent and inflammatory things trump said in that debate the other night but i will point out that he was asked about january 6. he was asked about his election lies and chose to double down on them in the debate the other night. he said not only that the election had been rigged and stolen from him but that he continues to say that he is going to pardon the january 6th insurrectionist and he calls them, as you know, repeatedly in his rallies, he calls them essentially martyrs to the cause of donald trump and that is the side he has taken on. i notice
