i want to get to cnn's ryan noble, and preet bharara, a former u.s. attorney who knows all about this. but ryan has been going through this document from the judge, and he has some information for us. so good evening, gentlemen. good evening to you, ryan, first. a former president losing this executive privilege claim. talk to me about what you've been reading, what you know. >> yeah, i don't think there is any doubt, don, this is a significant victory for the january 6 select committee. they have interest in hundreds of documents from the trump administration that occurred in and around the january 6 attack. that includes call logs visitor logs, and includes some of the documents that were -- that were created during the trump administration's time in office, and also even hand-written notes that the president himself had authored during that time frame. and in her ruling, the judge made it very clear that when weighing this kind of balance between executive privilege and the public interest, that the public interest was much more important. she wrot

also with us, cnn's senior legal analyst, preet barara.s showed the breadth of documents the former president is trying to keep secret. how necessary is it that the committee gets access to these logs and memos? >> i think it's absolutely necessary. it's fundamental to our ongoing c continuation as democracy. it's clear that it needs to be made public. the committee needs to review it. questions need to be asks about these materials. first so we can make sure it never happens again. second so we can make sure we hold accountable those who need to be held accountable and what laws might need to be changed and what laws might need to be pass ased. for fundamental democratic values and for future law making. i think there's nothing more important than getting everything together over these false claims and scandalous claims of privilege, which i don't think will hold up in court. >> you know, jeffrey, the pace with which donald trump is trying to cover up the assault on democracy is clearly quickening right now. is he acting like someone who

. >> and cnn senior legal analyst and former attorney preet perar joins us now.and bannon are both trying to hide under trump's umbrella. >> of the entire universe of people that the committee wants to talk to, steve bannon, among the folks who have asserted some kind of privilege, was in the weakest provision. in other lay terms, he wasn't even in the building leading up to january 6. mark meadows has some details potentially, but that needs to be worked out with the committee. my sense is he doesn't want to get ahead of bennie thompson, but they use steve bannon as someone they are pursuing criminally to make the case for mark meadows, you better be forthcoming. if there are things you think are privileged, maybe there is some oaccommodation that can be made, but lots of things that mark meadows heard, saw or communicated are clearly not in the privilege. >> and they are clearly important to getting to the bottom of january 6. that is the question i have been wrestling with for some time now is executive privilege, executive privilege every time no matter what.

attorney preet bharara.r justice official jeffly clark is set to appear before the select committee tomorrow behind closed door but his testimony has been a moving target over the past couple of weeks, hasn't it? >> yes. he changed lawyers and delayed his initial appearance. we'll see if he shows up tomorrow. but if he does, one of the most important questions that he will be asked is who were you dealing with the at white house, who knew that you were engaged in this activity, who told you do to. it is not what he thinks about what happened, it is what his relationships were and what his conversations and potentially documents were related to what were they with other people, especially at the white house. >> preet, you heard a little of what the judge had to say today in this hearing over trump white house documents. how do you interpret that? >> well, the key takeaway is that this judge and i think most reasonable judges would have the same view, she does not believe in the convenient overbroad assertions

because preet brought him up.se referred steve bannon to the doj for criminal complaint after ignoring the select committee subpoena. so what is attorney general garland doing? why haven't we heard his decision yet on what he's going to do about this? >> well, the only thing i can think of, don, is they may be waiting to hear what the judge's ruling is on trump's effort to invoke executive privilege. you know, that wouldn't be a very good reason because he certainly has no power to invoke executive privilege. he has defied the committee. he didn't even go before the committee to suggest he had a privilege. he just was a no-show. i'm one who happens to hope that the u.s. attorney's office just starts marching him right off and indicts him and gets him in front of a grand jury and have him explain there what in the world's going on. i happen to believe -- i know grand juries are much better at getting information than congressional committees, and i don't think we're going to get to the bottom of this until we have

. >>> i want to bring in preet brara who was fired by president trump. so much to talk about. >> we do. >> first, obviously, the big story, trump's former adviser steve bannon was indicted for criminal contempt of congress. he's expected to turn himself in on monday. what is your reaction? >> so i have been predicting it. a lot of people have been predicting it. it's a very unusual thing as people have been pointing out in the last hour or two and before. this is the first time the doj has charged someone with criminal contempt of congress in 38 years. you rarely have a situation where someone has been so defiant of a congressional subpoena that where their claims to privilege were some other reason for not being able to testify are so weak. so i think it was expected. people were losing patience a little bit. it's been 22 days to bring any kind of criminal case against someone, particularly one that the whole world will be following. you have to make sure that you cross all your ts, dot all your is, but the case is clear. it's important both for the cas

we'll talk about the possible legal fallout for bannon with preet bharara in a moment. but we begin with evan perez here in washington. take us through the charges against bannon. >> reporter: well he is -- steve bannon is now charged with two counts, one of them is for failing to appear for the deposition that this bipartisan committee had subpoenaed him to appear for and then secondly for failing to turn over documents that the committee has requested and this indictment listed about 17 categories, they said of communications and documents that the committee was specifically asking for and that bannon has refused to even -- to even show up for even to respond apparently since september he's gone silent. and so what this committee is hoping is that by doing this, by having the justice department take this very rare step, it hasn't been done since the reagan administration, they're hoping that it at least scares a few other members of the trump inner circle to take the subpoena seriously, to show up to their depositions and to turn over what the committee is asking for.

. >> ryan, in the previous hour we had preet bharara on and we were talking about what this means for the select committee's investigation. what did you gather from that? >> i just think more than anything it makes their job a lot easier, don. a part of what we see the committee doing is casting a wide net. right? you talked about how they've issued a bunch of subpoenas today. they've issued 16 subpoenas in just the past 48 hours for people that are very close to the former president. the subpoenas that we saw issued today were even people that were not only close to him personally but were actually next to him, close in proximity on january 6th, in the oval office and had conversations with him on that day. these documents are part of that process of connecting the dots as they have theories as to what went wrong on january 6th, what led to the violence and chaos on that day, but they need definitive proof of that. you can see the process as they call these witnesses in front of the committee, as they ask for the documents they're looking for. they're truly -- they're clearly trying

the black friday numbers it shows in store shopping is up 47% but it is still 28% lower than preet pandemicping down to $8.9 billion which is just a bit shy of last year's $9 billion. one of the big factors out there that's facing consumers is inflation because i don't have to tell you the price of almost everything is up. are democrats even privately raising alarm over this issue with the biden administration? >> well, of course we are. of course the entire american public is an probably around the world. consider for a moment that entire world's economy was literally shut down for a whole year, and the supply chain, the clothing manufacturers in vietnam are still shut down, and in the other countries, so you had a severe shortage of all kinds of things that people want, from toys to clothes to shoes and tools. so the red light is on, suddenly it turns green, everybody goes shopping and guesses what happens. supply and demand. supply is down, demand is up, prices are up. don't be surprised. this is exactly what we might expect to have happen and add to that the backlog at the ports in the

attorney preet bharara spoke with cnn about bannon's indictment means for other witnesses and whether former white house chief of staff mark meadows could face the same fate. listen to this. >> the last time someone was indicted by the justice department for criminal contempt of congress was 38 years ago. and there are a lot of witnesses in play here. there's a lot of people who have a lot of different kinds of information, documentary information, communications that could shed light on what happened on january 6th, and also their testimony. and i think that early in the process, and it's pretty early in the process still, to bring a criminal indictment against someone who has been defiant of the subpoena should put a little bit of nervousness into the hearts of mind of some of these other witnesses, particularly the ones who are being completely qudefiant, not givin enough respect to the committee to come, engage in some kind of negotiation with parameters about the committee. that's steve bannon and mark meadows. so, yeah, he should be a little bit nervous. >> migrants remain trapp

a short time ago i asked preet bharara about the same fate as bannon? >> the last time someone was indicted by the justice department for criminal contempt of congress was 38 years ago. and there are a lost witnesses in play here. there is a lost people who have a lot of different kinds of information. documentary inform, communications that could shed light on what happened on january 6 and also their testimony and i think that early in the process and it is pretty early in the process still, to bring a criminal indictment against someone who defiant of the a subpoena should put nervousness into hearts and minds of other witnesses, completely the one being completely defiant. not invoking the privilege that they want to invoke, engage in per am tirteres with the committee and that is steve bannon and also mark meadows. so yes, he should be nervous. >> and joining us now is alyssa farah. thanks for come on. i know you just got married congratulations for that. so let's talk about the that just happened. you stepped down about a month before the attack o

>> i'm kicking myself for not asking preet this earlier, so i'll ask you. what are you expecting on monday when bannon says he's going to turn himself in? >> i think it will be the standard kind of kind of bizarre pageantry around a high-profile arrest. i'm quite confident his lawyers will negotiate a self-surrender. you'll see bannon pulling up at the courthouse, walking inside, and then the cameras will catch him on the way out. it's a very ministerial process. he is officially informed of the charges against him. i'm sure his lawyers will ask that he be released on bond, that it's likely to happen. he'll go home monday night. he's not going to be detained. and then the case will begin its slow grind forward. >> well, there you go. slow. okay. well slow and steady. let's hope that means something in this case. that old saying. thank you, andrew. i appreciate it. >> thanks, don. >> now i want to bring? cnn senior legal analyst laura coates, a former federal prosecutor, and senior political analyst ron brownstein. laura, you have earned your keep this week.

cnn analyst preet bharara reacted to the judge's ruling. >> when a judge speaks like that and uses language that's sort of ringing about the nature of american democracy and that pres presidents are not kings, she's speaking to the parties and the history. that shows how strongly she felt about the matter. >> trump's legal team says it will appeal the ruling. the balance of executive president past and future from the outset was destined to be decided by appellate courts. president trump remains committed to protecting the office of presidency and will see this through. >>> a probe into the january 6 insurrection issued ten more subpoenas to former trump white house officials. among the latest stephen miller, senior adviser to the former president and kaylee mcany, the former press secretary. they will be asked to turnover documents relevant to the capitol riot probe with lawmakers looking to hold depositions in december. >>> republican congresswoman liz cheney is one of few republicans trying to hold trump responsible for the riot. take a listen. >> we are confronting a domestic threat we

preet bharara spoke about the strategy. >> i don't know whether there was any attempt to get voluntary cooperation from these folks and those broke down. they decided they needed to issue subpoenas. i think that's probably less likely than a new mode of operating, which is they're on the clock. they've had people to find the subpoenas already. one of those people, steve bannon, has been indicted by the justice department. and so they're sending subpoenas first and asking questions later which shows a certain new amount of aggressiveness that i think is warranted here. >> well, meanwhile, new york's former police commissioner is demanding an apology from the january 6 committee after it subpoenaed him. lawmakers say he attended a meeting on january 5th with key trump allies to discuss options for overturning the presidential election results. his lawyers say his client never attended any such meeting, but will comply with the subpoena. >>> now, a jury in ohio ruled that three major pharmaceutical chains helped fuel the opioid epidemic in two counties. lake and trumbull counties in the s
