mr. giuliani tonight. . giuliani tonight. disrupting or delaying the certification of the results on january 6, that became the main goal of trump and his allies. if nothing else, so they could buy time to overturn the election. either through the courts or more likely given how the legal challenges were going by the dozen, more likely some other way. the letters from the investigation tonight specifically mention mr. giuliani's attempts, often accompanied by jenna ellis to say they should falsify election results in their states. he did this road show in the weeks after the election trying to get republican legislators in swing states say it was invalid. the investigation also claims to have witness testimony about mr. giuliani, quote, urging president trump to direct the seizure of voting machines around the country after being told that the department of homeland security had no lawful authority to do so. also, quote, according to public reporting on january 6 and the days prior, you were in contact -- this is the letter t

mr. giuliani. you were in contact with then president trump and members of congress regarding strategies for delaying or overturning the results of the 2020 election. we know that mr. giuliani was on the phone with republican u.s. senators on january 6, even after the mob stormed the capitol, still trying to get them to stop or delay the certification of the election. they were still that night even after the mob attack on the capitol trying to find a way to falsify the election results and keep trump in power. the investigation's letter to jenna ellis specifically mentions two legal memos she prepared reportedly to show how vice president pence should reject or delay accepting the electoral votes from certain states. states that had submits false slates of electors. they never did succeed in getting republican state legislatures and states joe biden won to send in official alternate slates of electors for trump. as we've been reporting on this show, nevertheless, republicans in multiple states did

mr. giuliani, apparently. you know, you find a little thread of a story, you tug and you tug and you tug some more an one day you're like one more tug on the same thread and the whole sweater comes apart. today the whole sweater came apart and now we're sitting in a pile ofno yarn and you're going oh, that's what it's made of. here's how cnn put it in their story tonight. quote, trump campaign officials led by rudy giuliani oversaw efforts in december 2020 to put forward illegitimate electors from seven states that trump lost, according to three sources knowledge of the scheme. members of former president donald trump's campaign team were far moredo involved than previously expected. giuliani and his allies coordinated the nuts and bolts of the process on a state-by-state level. the trump campaign lined up supporters to fill elector slots, secured meeting rooms at statehouses for the fake electors to meet on december 14, 2020, and circulated drafts. behind the scenesci giuliani an campaign officials actively c

mr. giuliani seems to have -- . it seems that we are only going to -- end the january six investigation today showed a whole bunch of his work, and a shocking letter to even call trump the daughter of president trump. this has been a remarkable few days for the trump family. in just 48 hours we had the news reported that eric trump and kimberly, the fiancÉe of donald trump jr. had their phone records obtained by the january six investigation. also donald jr. and ivanka trump, as well as the former president had a long court filing from the attorney general. accusing them all of these details of alleged bank fraud, tax fraud, and insurance fraud scheme. i think, it must have been unsettling for members of the trump family that the allegations were laid out in particular to all of them. the new york attorney general this week stated -- as of january 2017, mrs. trump was a primary contract for the trump organization's largest lender, deutsche bank. it required these things to be submitted to the bank and the federal go

mr. giuliani, you are in contact with then president trump and -- for delaying or overturning the results of the 2020 election. we know that mr. giuliani was on the phone with republican senators on january six, even after the mob had stormed the capitol, trying to get them to -- that night, even after the mob attacked the capitol, they still try to find a way to keep trump in power. the investigations letter to jenna ellis, wanted to explain how -- delay or accepts the electing votes from states that had submitted false slates of electors -- they never did succeed in getting republican state legislators in states that joe biden won, to have other slates of elections. but they did sign forged elector -- which would solve -- and they would be prosecuted in multiple states now as a crime. but it all appears to be a part of the same plan. the trump allies subpoenaed today were, according to the investigation, involved in every effort. rudy giuliani tried to get state legislators to falsify the ballots, jenna ellis tried to get them to overturn the results, and they also tried to get them to

mr. giuliani, apparently. you know, you find a thread of a story. you tug and tug some more and one day you're like one more tug on the same thread and the whole sweater comes apart. today was the day the whole sweater came apart. and now we're sitting in a pile of yarn going oh, that's what it's made of. here's how cnn put it in their story on this tonight. quote, trump campaign officials, led by giuliani, over saw efforts in 2020 to put forward illegitimate electors in states trump lost. members of the campaign team were far more involved than previously known in the plan. a broader tenant in the plot to overturn biden's victory when congress counted the electoral votes january 6th. they coordinated the nuts and bolts of the process on a state-by-state level. they secured meeting rooms and state houses for the fake electors to meet on december 14th, 2020. they circulated drafts of fake certificates that were ultimately sent to the national archives. behind the scenes, giuliani and trump campaign officials, actively coriaographed the process.

mr. giuliani. i will tell you, we want to talk to everyone. we think it is not only everybody's legal duty, it should be everybody's civic honor and privilege to be able to speak to the representatives of the people in the united states congress, the article one branch, so we can write a complete exhaustive and painstaking report about this attack on america and how to guarantee it will never happen again. because we're going to make legislative recommendations, rules, recommendations on how to fortify democratic institutions. >> how many bank records has the committee subpoenaed? >> i don't know the answer to that. i will tell you that we have seen -- >> ballpark? >> tens of thousands of records generally. i know that there are, you know, we have a whole team of people following the money, looking at the money trail. you don't try to knock over the u.s. government for free. this was not some kind of spontaneous voluntary uprising. this was organized. >> look, i've been surprised by the amount of records that have turned over voluntarily to yo

mr. kerick worked with rudy giuliani. this is all a matter of public record. and a great many people are cooperating with us. so we would hope that everyone would. certainly a great many now, i think over 400, have cooperateled with us. but you can -- you know, getting back to the point i was making earlier. as we get to more and more significant witnesses, they, you know, they are often closer and closer to donald trump and, therefore, people that the former president is urging and has some leverage over in terms of getting them to refuse to cooperate. so we are, as you say, getting a lot of help, and sometimes even less publicly known witnesses can offer some of the most important insights. but i can't be more particular than that. >> yeah, we should note, i don't know if we have the b roll of the infamous four seasons landscaping press conference of rudy giuliani. but bernie kerrick is in that shot. he is standing behind rudy giuliani there. as you said, a matter of public record. there is also some news breaking just recently that the national archives, wh

mr. giuliani might show up and take the fifth amendment for virtually every question after his name and address. >> the state of law is if you think you would incriminate yourself criminally and want to be protected by the fifth amendment right against self-incrimination, you have to come into the committee and assert that right question by question. the reason for that is then the committee has another decision to make which is whether to seek use and unity from the claim. if we decide that is wise and that decision has not yet been made, then you would be required to testify as to the matters and that testimony to the committee could not be used in your later prosecutions. so that would be a subsequent decision that committee would have to sort through and case by case, question by question witness by witness. >> the committee started on subpoenas that with steve bannon and since then, though, seems to have been working upward through the sort of pyramid of all of this. is this set of subpoena what you would consider the top of the period just shy of the president and vice president? >> not n

mr. giuliani's home and office. he's under criminal investigation as far as we know. he's either likely a subject, or a target of a federal criminal investigation. that gives him a fifth amendment privilege. look, i would love to hear from the guy. >> explain that. >> sure. we have reason to believe that giuliani is under criminal investigation lieve that giuliani is under it's been very quiet. i imagine that because he's under investigation, he can assert, validly, a fifth of amendment privilege and refuse to answer any questions. your point about him not being cooperative is spot on. i'm not sure the sky would know the truths if it hit him in the back of the head. putting all that aside, i would love to hear from him, because he must have tons of relevant information. he also can invoke the fifth amendment privilege, not to testify. that's a problem for congress. prosecutors can overcome that by immunizing and compelling somebody to testify. congress, in theory, could try that route, but it might undermine any ongoing prosecution that the department of justice is co

mr. giuliani would be covered by executive privilege should mr. trump invoke it as well as attorney/client privilege. can you please explain these two privileges and how they come into play here? >> certainly. and that is true, but only those privileges are at play, but only as to donald trump. it's important to remember that the letters requested information about conversations that at least some of these individuals had with members of congress as well, which of course would not be subject to either privilege. executive privilege is the concept that the president should be able to have free d discussions with his senior staff and those around him without fear that it would come out later in a congressional hearing or in other matters. and so it pertains to conversations that donald trump had himself with others around him. it does not include conversations that are unofficial, perhaps well the campaign, and certainly the supreme court has held it does not include conversations that relate to improper misconduct or other illicit activity. attorne

mr. giuliani, apparently.now, you find a little thread of a story, you tug and you tug and you tug some more an one day you're like one more tug on the same thread and the whole sweater comes apart. today the whole sweater came apart and now we're sitting in a

mr. mayor giuliani? the process. >> giuliani was part of the war room team at the willard hotel. the committee issued three new subpoenas today to people around donald trump jr., some of his so-called advisers, as well as a former trump official who wrote part of trump's january 6th speech. as the probe gets closer to trump's inner circle there's the probe in georgia, the d.a. saying i think in the first half of 2022 decisions will be made. our colleague, rachel maddow, reporting exclusively last night that trump's attorneys met with georgia's prosecutors in december. >> we can report exclusively tonight that attorneys for former president donald trump have now met in person with the fulton county district attorney's office in georgia. >> i'm joined by former federal prosecutor flannary who once worked with rudy giuliani in new york. welcome back, sir. your thoughts on what this all means. >> rudy should be seeking my advice now, perhaps. the thing about rudy is, if you remember election night, he is rep

mr. mayor giuliani?s a process. >> joining us now, co-founder of punchbowl news and friend of the show, jake sherman. jake, good morning. let's talk about the new subpoenas to start, what kind of information is the committee hoping to glean there? and in your estimation, how likely is it that rudy giuliani is also going to face a subpoena? >> almost certain that giuliani is going to face a subpoena, jon. there's no doubt about that. the larger question is will he testify? we don't know, what's going on quite consistently, it doesn't matter that a lot of these people testify because they have a lot of information. now on the other two, the two outside advisers or outside aides that are close to the trump family. a lot of people have come out in the last 12 to 16 hours saying they had nothing to do with the january 6th rally. one of the organizers said they couldn't think of anybody less involved that sarabhai and arthur schwartz. we'll have to see, people like that, it's interesting, jon, a lot of people

mr. mayor giuliani? >> well, you know, we are working through the process. >> hmm.ellipse rally goer at the center of a right-wing conspiracy theory, that the fbi had an informant in the capitol attack, told the panel he's never been employed by the bureau or any other law enforcement agency. so it continues, joe. >> yeah. john heilemann, rudy giuliani, bennie saying, i don't know if we'll get rudy or not. they'll get rudy. this guy, seriously, they should put a bust of him up in the united states senate as a historical artifact. he was responsible for both of donald trump's impeachments if you think about it. what he did in ukraine. what he did on the stop the steal stuff and all of the stuff leading up to january 6th. you know, trump was -- every inside right talked to him, and i'm sure you did, too -- was slowly coming to terms with this. rudy comes in in his clown car and says, no, no, no, giving him all these theories. donald trump is responsible for donald trump. i'm just says, rudy giuliani, though, this is the torts "but for" case. but for rudy giuliani, tru

robert costello, called the subpoena political theater and said that rudy giuliani would be covered by executive privilege, so that mr. trump invoke it. as well as attorney-client privilege, could you please explain these two privileges and how they come into play. here >> certainly ali. that is true those privileges are applied, but only to donald trump. the letters to conversations, that at least some of these individuals had with members of congress as well, which of course would not be subject to other privilege. executive privilege is the concept that the president should be able to have free discussions with the senior staff and those around him, without fear that it would come out later and in a congressional hearing, or other matters. and so, it pertains to conversations that donald trump had himself with others around him. it does not include, conversations that are unofficial. perhaps with the campaign. and certainly the supreme court has held, it does not include conversations that relate to improper misconduct, or other illicit activity. attorney client privilege, but it's only to a lawyer and his client.

mr. president, and and there is no there there. these claims that rudy giuliani and sydney powell have brought you are bogus. and he can testify to the president's reaction. and from what i understand from sources to be the president's absolute defiance and demand that he produce evidence whether it existed or not. >> and some of the evidence included a draft order that would have directed the secretary of defense to send national guard troops to seize voting machines around the country, after the 2020 election. talk to us about the significance of this report? >> so, jose, you know, this would have been scary enough when it happened in realtime, that michael flynn, the former national security adviser, and sidney powell, started talking publicly. michael flynn was on television discussing this, that he was going to urge the president declare martial law, seizing the voting machines in swing states, and quote/unquote, rerun the election. well, that's really not what happens in a democracy. the newly discovered memo shows that things went a little further than jus

mr. frontiers reportedly received about $250,000 worth from the same donor. the subpoenas comes just one day after the four that they sent yesterday to trump's top advisers like rudy giuliani, who try to aid his attempts of pushing the big election fraud lie. she sits on that bipartisan committee of january 6th, she joins me now, these two individuals congresswoman, how would you explain their significance? >> well, they were very active in whipping up mobs to overturn the election. we want to find out the extent of their ties, who else they were connected with. we are also very interested in that large amount of bitcoin funding that came in. and how that connects with their activities to overturn the election. we think it is pretty meaty, but i don't want to talk about that without saying, how gratified i am that the court decision on the archives material. some of the material has already been received by the committee, the material that had not been protected by -- and had been adapted by the former president's lawyers and we hope the material flows very promptly. along with these two subpoenas. >> yes, are you surprised? gratified by the pace here? which of course was

mr. fuentes received $250,000 worth from the same donor. these come after the subpoenas yesterday to a number of trump's top election lawyers, colluding including rudy giuliani. congresswoman zoe lofgren sits on the bipartisan committee investigating january 6th and she joins me now. these two individuals, congresswoman, how would you explain their significance? . they were very active in whipping up mobs to overturn the election. we want to find out the extent of their ties, who else they were connected with. we are also very interested in the rather large amount of bitcoin funding that came in and how that connects with their activities to overturn the election. so we think it's pretty meaty, but i don't want to talk about that without saying how gratified i am at the court decision on the archives material. some of the material has already been received at the committee. the material that had not been protected through the drafting by the former president's lawyers, and we expect other material to flow very promptly. so this is a very important decision, along with, of course, these two subpoenas. >> yeah, are you -- are you -- are you surprised, gratifie

but it was giuliani, the enabler, who kept feeding him these crack pot mr. pillow conspiracy theories that did really push him along. >> yeah, that is true, joe, but at the end of the day, you know, there were so many other people in trump world that enabled and executed a lot of this behavior. the people like chief of staff mark meadows who allowed sidney powell and rudy giuliani and mike lindell and patrick burn, all of these fringe figures, to come into the oval office and meet with the president repeatedly after the november election. the trump campaign that ultimately paid the fees for these people who were working out of the willard hotel. they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for months long stays at the willard. so it was definitely a joint collaboration, although rudy giuliani is a very key part of this investigation that the committee is now honing in on. >> it'll be fascinating. it'll be fascinating to see. you know, it is interesting, eugene daniels. these people that we name are all facing their own challenges now. one of the things that i'

mr. epshteyn as well. >> professional consequences, may sound like a long ways from other criminal indictments and sanctions we covered, but it does matter to people's career, to their standing. on the political side, juanita, rudy giulianiis more than one thing. he is a lawyer. he is a consultant. he does make money off consulting in politics. he also did a lot of stuff as far as we can tell because he wanted to be in the mix. i want to play for you as reminder a little of what he was doing after trump's loss. >> there was a plan from a centralized place to execute these various acts of voter fraud. massive fraud. how is it they all turned around? what do we have to do to get the fbi to wake up? because i'm sending my votes to people in michigan to germany, i would fire everybody involved in the election. >> juanita, your thoughts on the role he plays and now the pressure he is facing in a new investigation as mentioned. he was central to both of the i am -- of the impeachments. this was his effort to say i am willing to do your bidding to undermine the election. trump was calling raffensperger in georgia, giuliani was leaving voice mails to election officials in arizona, michigan and other states while spreading basele

mr. mayor, let me stop you and ask you about this plain clothes unit that you're talking about. there are a lot of new yorkers who remember the plain clothes unit in the giuliani administration, and the fear that it instilled in a lot of communities. how are you going to have a plain clothes anti-gun unit while at the same time convincing communities that, you know, they're not going to be run roughshod over by these plain clothes cops? >> so true. remember, i stood outside the 103rd precinct yesterday, the precinct that i was arrested and assaulted in by police officers. this has been my narrative for over 30 years. when in the police department as the organizer, i testified against the street crime unit that took the life of amadou diallo and so many. i know how to get this right. this is what we're going to do in my plan. number one, we are going to have the right officers assigned. they're going to wear their body cameras. every interaction they have is going to be videoed and reviewed. the right supervision, and then precision policing will match my precision resources. we know who the bad guys are in this city. and we know where the gun violence is stemm
