because the primary story wasn't that rudy giuliani was challenging the election results.n had just won the presidency. if somebody asks me, where were you when they called the election for joe biden, i'd say, well, i was in the parking lot of four seasons total landscaping. >> thank you. >> the president's lawyer left as the news came in that joe biden had been declared the victor. perhaps this is why they chose the industrial estate. they wouldn't be heard or welcomed here in downtown philadelphia. a city in a state which delivered donald trump the white house four years ago, pennsylvania is now the state which pushed joe biden over the line. >> i just thought, sure, we said yeah and it was going to be over. period. >> we would have done this for either political campaign. we just wanted to be helpful. >> and we just had no idea what we were in for. >> did you see my press conference today? it was at the four seasons, fancy. >> yeah, sounds fancy, but it was at a landscaping company called four seasons. was that a mistake? >> what? no! >> we heard from all different type

rudy giuliani took his fake election fraud road show to georgia multiple times trying to convince state republican leaders that the election had been stolen and they should therefore put trump electors to the electoral college. there was so much pressure on georgia, so many attemptses to mess with election results in georgia that a state prosecutor in fulton county has opened what is now an ongoing criminal investigation into trump and his allies over whether they illegally interfered with georgia's elections when they pressured and intimidated those elections officials to try to get them to falsify the results. that prosecutor you might remember hired georgia's top expert on racketeering and conspiracy. georgia's top expert on state rico laws to work on her team, to work on that potential case. tonight, we've got some new reporting on one particular incident that took place in the midst of that wide-ranging, multi-faceted pressure operation that was brought to bear in georgia in the wake of the 2020 election. we can fill in a piece of the puzzle that has really had us wondering, scratc

then trump lawyer, rudy giuliani started recognizing in state hearings. this massive jumbotron in georgia played the clip, again, doing what they're supposed to be doing, taking ballots out of the secure container they were supposed to be in. but they kept saying it showed a crime, well look at it, look at all the black women with the ballots. look how criminal it looks. you may also remember that infamous phone call in which president trump tried to pressure the georgia secretary of state into finding enough trump votes in the state somewhere to overturn biden's win. in that phone call, donald trump mentioned rudy freeman's name 18 times. called her a professional vote scammer and a hustler. the head of elections in fulton county said after that call, the harassment of ruby freedman got worse and kept going. today, she spoke with reporters zo and jason zepp doing remarkable work across the country, but just as a sort of window into what this has been like for these women, listen to the conditions they felt they had to lay down just to be comfortable talk

then trump lawyer rudy giuliani began identifying them by name in his wack doodle presentations to among other things georgia republicans in the state legislature. president trump himself played this video clip on a massive jumbo tron at a rally in georgia. again, it's just a video clip showing these women doing what they're supposed to be doing, taking ballots out of the secure containers they are held in and pputting them through the ballot machine. but they kept saying when they showed the clip it showed a crime. well, just look at it these black women with all the ballots. look how criminal it looks? you may also remember that infamous phone call in which president trump tried to pressure the georgia secretary of state into finding enough trump votes in the state somewhere to overturn biden's win. in that phone call, donald trump mentioned ruby freedman's name 18 times, called her a professional vote scammer and a hustler. the head of elections in fulton county said after that call the harassment of ruby freedman and her daughter got even worse. quote, and it just kept going. well, t

the one that stood with rudy giuliani. supposedly, they outline theories of how former-vp mike pence could overturn the election. that is on top of the memo we know came from john eastman. um, was this all right out in plain sight you think? >> i don't know how out in the open it was but i think everybody recognizes that it was -- these were absurd arguments. that the vice president had no authority to overturn the state certification of elections. i mean, the vice president understood that. dan quail explained it to mike pence and they were right. and so, i mean, these -- these lawyers were coming up with these outrageous theories in an attempt to prevent the peaceful transition of power. and it's as simple as that. and again, i -- i hlay the blam at the former president. that's why we are having these conversations today. i know that most republicans with whom i have dealt with who serve or currently in office believe they were all elected legitimately. and if the democrats are going to steal elections, they wouldn't hav

you've got trump lawyers like rudy giuliani, sydney powell. they've been using this play book.t all. do you expect anyone to face consequences, sore is this just how maga world operates? the top continue to grift with the fund-raising and taking money from the people who donate to their cause for legal defense funds, venture capitalist opportunities. who knows what they're doing with all that money. >> trump is the gift that keeps on giving. i'm on the mailing list because i'm a journalist and i get 10, 20, 30 solicitations a day from trump and other republicans all -- you know, most of them highly misleading. steve scalise, a house republican i got a solicitation from his campaign today basically saying if i want to support the new trump media epty, enterprise i should donate money here. and it's to his campaign. what does that have to do with trump's media enterprise? absolutely nothing. they have a couple million maga types who just keep giving money to trump and these associated deals. and it is just kaching, kaching, kaching. the money keeps pouring in. so all these folks

. >> the colonel, was he not or working at the willard hotel in that war room with rudy giuliani andust have all worked on this together, and then he gets to the white house. is that how that worked? >> well, that i'm not clear on, but that's a good question because in fact the people who were there at the willard that day obviously were part and parcel of the president's effort to join -- to stir up this crowd, get them to go down to the capitol, and at least make a lot of noise if not more. and i think that what you're seeing from the committee, the desire to link these -- pull these dots together, pull them into a coherent narrative so we understand how it all happened. it wasn't just that one speech, it wasn't just as the congressman said, an organic, you know, protest, something that had been discussed and planned on for days and weeks, including these ideas that not just, you know, not just the crowd but the idea that somehow the vice president of the united states could basically subvert the will of the people in these key states in order to keep his president in power. that's

we heard that voicemail rudy giuliani left for senator tuberville where he says we need to do anythingstall this. there is no question they were trying to implement some plan and it appears that mike pence thwarted it. what's not totally clear is whether the violence that played out on january 6th had some direct connection to people working the white house or it was sort of incidental and whipped up by the comments that president trump made that day. and that's the part where i really will be interested to see what the january 6th committee can come up with in terms of can they make that linkage. was it just public rhetoric, the stuff we have seen on tv, or behind the scenes was there some exhortation or planning for violence. >> all right. we will have to leave it there. we will continue to follow this story closely. thanks for joining us tonight. >>> joining me now is congressman ted lieu, a democratic from california and, obviously, former impeachment manager. congressman, thank you for joining us this evening. let's start with the last point i was talking to joshua about. your rea

waldron also frequently spoke to rudy giuliani and fed the four seasons landscaping fans false conspiracy theories. waldron also just spoke last week for an hour and a half at a louisiana elections committee hearing, using yet another and different powerpoint, mind you, talking about, quote, black box voting machines, and baselessly claiming that louisiana's electoral system was, quote, vulnerable to fake voters, fake ballots, and quote, fake counts. whatever that means. joining me now is philip bump, national correspondent for "washington post." phil, there is a lot that has happened in the last week, but it's getting more interesting. ali alexander, whom to most americans is an absolute fringe character, he's been band from most social media, is quite essential to this january 6th operation. but it sounds like his testimony that he was in direct contact with paul gosar, representative andy biggs, mo brooks, all of whom are also kind of fringe characters, but members of congress might have been involved in the planning of the attack on congress. >> right. ali alexander has made a similar

they were saying might be not true because in a newly release the deposition former trump lawyer rudy giuliani admitted he had no evidence for his voter fraud claims because he didn't have time to verify them >> new video exclusive to cnn shows donald trump's allies saying under oath that they put very little effort into verifying debunked claims of election fraud before spreading them on the national stage >> before the press conference, i was told about it. sometimes i'd go and look myself online when stuff comes up this time i didn't have the time to do it it was not my job in a fast-moving case to go out and investigate every piece of evidence that's given to me. >> seth: no, of course not that's what lawyers are for, as everyone knows [ laughter ] you're just the events coordinator for a landscaping company. [ laughter ] oh, rudy rudy, sweet rudy, that is your job. i mean, it was suppose to be your job although in fairness, rudy looks less like a guy who would investigate a crime and more like the guy sitting on a park bench who just tells the cops what they're doing is wrong. "you think

dealt a major blow, though, in its effort to dismiss the $1.6 billion ddefamation lawsui, like rudy giulianished the conspiracy that dominion and other voting machine companies messed with the vote turn-out. judge davis, yesterday, denied the fox's attempt to dismiss that case. quote, fox possessed counterveiling evidence of election fraud from the dmarmt of justice, election experts and dominion at the time it had been making statements. the fact that despite this evidence, fox continued to publish allegations against dominion suggested fox knew the allegations were false. when fox spread or reiterated information about dominion, fox did not use the information dominion provided to correct its guess, or to reorient its viewers. instead, fox and its personnel pressed their view that considerable evidence connected dominion to an illegal election fraud conspiracy, fox says it will continue to fight, writing in a statement, as we have maintained, fox news along with every news organization across the country vigorously covered the breaking news around the unprecedented 2020 election with clear

he won by the larger margin that he did that it wasn't has represented as it was of the rudy giuliani's of the world and the ridiculous certain votes don't exist which by the way what the republicans are doing around the legislatures inar the country to position themselves in the last insurrection by overturning for the legal means and if that should happen, not only in office but the turmoil in the country would be unprecedented. i devote a lot of time in the book to this. there are some figures that came out of this and they are the ones we have to look to for inspiration of how to get through this. there is one i feel optimistic about in the future, people who served and graduated the top of the class at west point and it's a brigade that would see combat that was highly decorated and continue to serve throughout his life since then he would come in and tell the truth and he did and so manyhe others did. >> some of those speakers there was a moment in the trial they were making headlines and it was an interesting lesson to think about when you talk to younger people oror other people

had gone so horrendously in horrific state that they had no choice but to give this crazy guy, rudy giuliani, a chance. and then he did indeed turn everything around. so, god willing, there's going to be that sort of change in california and all these other big cities where we're seeing such a huge spike in crime and murder. so this is perhaps the, the moment that we just simply have to seize. it's just too bad that has to gets at this point that actually decide to make a move. while am brock. i have to ask, you know, some times like you point out a mayor to make a difference. and we looked at those like the mayor's and councilman for the increasing crime to give us answers. but now you're finding out that we should actually put some blame on the district attorney. do you agree with this? yes, of course, the district attorney has the, the ground troop, who makes the major decisions as to who to prosecute and who to electro and what, what, what the level of crime it, he sends out the signal. so he's the one in charge. ultimately, district attorney, especially in los angeles, gas gone, for exa
